§ MR. CAVENDISH BENTINCKsaid, he rose to make a personal explanation. In the observations which fell from him the other night on the Motion of the hon. Member for Liskeard (Mr. Bernal Osborne) he made a statement which might possibly do injustice to a distinguished and gallant officer, Admiral Mundy. On that occasion he stated that if General Garibaldi was to be believed his success in Sicily was owing to the material assistance which he received from Admiral Mundy. That was stated in the newspaper report, and it was a fair illustration of the argument that he used. However, as he had since ascertained that there was not a syllable of truth in the assertion of General Garibaldi, it was only right that he should state his sincere conviction that Admiral Mundy neither directly or indirectly interfered so as to commit a breach of neutrality, and that when he received General Garibaldi on; board his flag ship in the harbour of Palermo, he did so at the request of General Lanza, the royalist commander. Afterwards Admiral Mundy made prisoners of the Garibaldian pirates who had seized the British ship Orwell, and sent them to Malta, where they were released most illegally by the authorities there.
