HC Deb 18 June 1861 vol 163 c1252
SIR GEORGE LEWIS

said, an hon. Gentleman had asked him yesterday a question in regard to the ascent of M. Blondin at the Crystal Palace with his young child, in reply to which he stated that a letter had been addressed by his direction to the managers of the Crystal Palace Company. To that letter he had since received an answer from the secretary to the Company, dated June 18th, stating that, in obedience to the wishes of the Secretary of State, M. Blondin would not repeat the performance to which attention had been called.
