MR. SERJEANT DEASY

said, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has received any communications complaining of any alleged undue interference with the religion of any of; the Sailors serving onboard Her Majesty's Ship Ajax at Kingstown; and whether; he has caused any inquiry to be made into the truth of such complaints?

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

said, in answer to the question he had to state, that he did receive a communication complaining of some alleged interference with the religion of sailors on board the Ajax. He, in consequence, directed inquiries to be made, and he was bound to add that, as far as he was informed from the result of those inquiries, he did not think there was much ground for the complaint.
