SIR, GEORGE GREYsaid, he wished to ask the hon. Member for North Warwickshire, Whether he intends to go on to-night with his Motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the Allegations contained in the Petition of Mr. Alfred Smee relative to the St. Mary's, Sydenham, Burial Ground, and further into the existence and increase of Conventual and Monastic Establishments in this country? If the hon. Member deferred the Motion, he should have no objection to produce the Correspondence relating to the Burial Ground in question, as well as that which had passed between Mr. Smee and the Home Office.
§ MR. NEWDEGATEsaid, he was aware that, as another Motion stood before his upon the paper, he would not be able to carry out his intention that evening. He felt much obliged to the right hon. Gentleman for his offer to produce the Correspondence with reference to the granting of the Licence for the Burial Ground, and also the Correspondence between the Home Office and Mr. Smee. He hoped he might be allowed to add that he believed the law upon the subject was in an unsatisfactory condition; but, at the same time, he did not wish to impute any blame to the right hon. Gentleman.
