HC Deb 07 May 1861 vol 162 c1654
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

said, he wished to appeal to the hon. and learned Member for Tiverton to postpone the Motion on the case of the Baron de Bode, which stood in his name for that evening, till a future day, in order that he (the Attorney General) might inform himself more particularly on the details of the subject.

Mr. DENMAN

said, he was very unwilling to postpone his Motion for referring this case to a Select Committee, but he could hardly refuse the appeal that had been made to him by the hon. and learned Attorney General, as it was right that he should watch every word he (Mr. Denman) should have to use in urging this case upon the attention of the House. He trusted that on a future day, however, he should be successful in obtaining the assent of the House to an inquiry on the subject before a Select Committee.
