HC Deb 29 April 1851 vol 116 c308
MR. PRINSEP

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he would lay on the table of the House copies of the memorial sent to the Board of Trade by the sailors from different ports in the country, complaining of the operation of the Act repealing the Navigation Laws? It was desirable that the House should see these documents before discussing the right hon. Gentleman's (Mr. Herries') Motion respecting that Act.

MR. LABOUCHERE

said, that many of the memorials in question were couched in almost identical language with each other; and if the hon. Gentleman would call at the Board of Trade, and select which of the memorials he wished to have printed, there would be no objection to his doing so.
