§ SIR JAMES GRAHAMMr. Speaker, with your permission I hope the House will allow me to correct an erroneous statement which was made by me on Tuesday last, when the hon. Baronet the Member for Tavistock (Sir J. Trelawny) brought forward his Motion. On that occasion I enumerated several distinguished Members of this House who, as I believed, had filled the position of Colonial Agents, receiving payment for their services. Among others I mentioned the name of the late Sir James Mackintosh. I have reason to believe that that statement was erroneous. To the best of my knowledge, one of the Canadian Chambers, shortly before the year 1830, did come to a vote offering the agency in question to Sir James Mackintosh. The other Chamber, however, did not concur in that vote. The offer was never made and never accepted; consequently, the late Sir James Mackintosh was never the paid Agent of the colony. I very much regret that I made a statement which was erroneous: not that I conceive that it detracts in the least degree from the character of that eminent man, whose reputation for disinterested virtue was of the purest and most exalted nature. I made the statement believing it to be correct. I am sorry that it was erroneous; and I make this correction at the earliest opportunity I could avail myself of, with the utmost pleasure.
