§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he wished to correct a misapprehension which had arisen in the course of the debate on this subject. It had been represented that when Colonel Dawkins was put under arrest and allowed to come up to town he was at liberty to go where he liked and do as he liked.
§ MR. SPEAKERsaid, the hon. Gentleman was not at liberty to refer to speeches made in a former debate.
§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he would content himself then with reading the following lelter, which bore on the point:—
§ "Ash Camp, June 20, I860.
§ "Sir,—I am directed by Colonel Steele, commanding Coldstream Guards, to inform you that you are to proceed to London and remain in your lodgings under arrest until you receive further communication.
§ "I have the honour to be, Sir,
§ "Your obedient servant,
§ "F. G. STEPNEY,
§ "Commanding Detachment Coldstream Guards."
§ He remained in his lodgings from the 26th of June until the 2nd of July, so it could not be said truly that he was at liberty to go where he pleased.
