§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, he wished to ask the noble Lord the Secretary of the Admiralty, Whether, as the cruise of the Avon has been unsuccessful, the Admiralty intend to take any other steps with a view to the recall of Sir Baldwin Walker? He wished also to ask whether or not, at the time the Avon was sent out from Plymouth, the Himalaya, and at least one other fast steamer, were not in the harbour at the disposal of the Admiralty?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETsaid, he should be much obliged to the right hon. Baronet if he would give notice of his Question.
