§ MR. ROEBUCKbegged to ask a question of the right hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with regard to a subject that had before engrossed the attention of the House—the laws and the administration of justice in the Channel Islands. The right hon. Baronet had announced the intention of the Government to issue a commission to inquire into those matters, and he therefore wished to know if such commission had been issued, and if so, whether the right hon. Gentleman would have any objection to lay the Report upon the Table of the House.
§ SIR JAMES GRAHAMreplied that he had in the course of his duty advised Her Majesty to issue such a commission. Two Commissioners had been accordingly appointed, and he should have no objection whatsoever to lay upon the Table of the House the letters received from them.
§ DR. BOWRINGbegged to know if the right hon. Baronet would extend the field of the Commissioners so far as to include the Isle of Man?
§ SIR JAMES GRAHAMwas not prepared to include the Isle of Man.
