§ Sir Robert Peelobserved, that he had a short time ago presented a petition to the House from the town of Dundee, respecting the ice-bound whale ships. He wished to ask the right hon. Gentleman whether any measures had been adopted by his Majesty's Government for the purpose of endeavouring to afford relief to those vessels and their unfortunate crews. Several memorials had been presented to Government on the subject. Did any objection exist to their production?
Mr. F. Baringwas understood to say, that inquiries had been instituted to ascertain what it was possible to do in the case adverted to by the right hon. Member for Tamworth. He was not aware that any objection existed to the production of the whole of the papers which had reference to the subject.
