HC Deb 09 February 1849 vol 102 c556
MR. J. O'CONNELL

asked whether the right hon. Baronet the Secretary for Ireland adhered to his own words as uttered in the course of the debate on the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, or whether he adopted the entire contradiction of them by the noble Lord at the head of the Government?

SIR W. SOMERVILLE

replied that there had not been any contradiction of them given by the noble Lord (Lord J. Russell), and that nothing more surprised him than the extraordinary misconstruction of his (Sir W. Somerville's) words by the hon. Member for Limerick.
