§ MR. WYLDsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if Her Majesty's Government have appointed, or intend to appoint, a Commission to inquire into the present state of the Public Hospital and Lunatic Asylum of Kingston, Jamaica?
SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTONreplied, that the state of the Hospital and Asylum had occupied the very serious consideration of the Government. They had not appointed, nor did they intend to appoint, a Commission to inquire into the subject; but they had directed the Governor to make stringent inquiries on his own responsibility, and to give every facility to parties who desired to make any statements with respect to it.
