§ Mr. Huttwas anxious to put a question to the right hon. Baronet, which he had on a former occasion proposed, and to which no answer had been returned, on the ground that negotiations were pending on the subject. He wished to know whether her Majesty's Government were prepared to admit the claim of the King of Hanover to levy a larger amount of duty on ships passing up the Elbe than he was entitled to do by treaty?
§ Sir R. Peelhoped, as negotiations were still pending, the hon. Member would not press him to give any answer to that question.
§ Sir R. Peelassured the hon. Gentleman, that as soon as he could make any communication on the subject consistently with the public interests, he would do so.
