§ Resolution reported.
§ MR. HENNESSYsaid, he wished to know whether the hon. Member for Liskeard (Mr. B. Osborne) had correctly stated last night that the fresco of King Lear had been seriously injured by decay.
MR. COWPERsaid, that any one who would take the trouble to use his eyesight would see that the fresco had sustained no injury, and that the figure of Cordelia was in as perfect a state as when the late Sir Robert Peel had referred to Mr. Herbert's noble work as fully justifying all the money expended upon the House in frescoes.
§ Resolution agreed to.
