HC Deb 22 March 1858 vol 149 cc464-5
MR. BERNAL OSBORNE

said that, with the indulgence of the House, he wished to correct a statement which he had made on a former evening, and, he believed, to the disadvantage of the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He stated that that learned Gentleman had drawn up the rules and regulations of the Orange Society, and, having received a letter from the right hon. Gentleman, he was bound to say that he had fallen into an inaccuracy, and that the fact was that the rules and the regulations of the Orange Society were placed before him in his capacity as a barrister for his opinion as to their legality, and that he had never seen them previously. He (Mr. Osborne) was sincerely sorry for having fallen into such an error, and he expressed his apology to the right hon. and learned Gentleman.
