Commons Sitting of 10 August 1866

MINUTES.
NEW WRIT ISSUED—For Salop (Northern Division), v. the Honourable Charles Henry Cust, Chiltern Hundreds.
The House met at half after One of the clock.

STATE OF JAMAICA.—QUESTION.
MR. J. STUART MILLsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether any further information has been received as to the apprehensions which he stated to be entertained by the authorities in Jamaica of a new outbreak in the Colony; and whether he has any objection to state more particularly to the House the information which had previously been received on that subject?
MR. ADDERLEYsaid, in answer to the hon. Member's question, he must beg to state that just before the recent debate on the subject of Jamaica despatches were received, from which it appeared that disturbances were apprehended by the Custos of the parish of Metcalfe, a Member of the Colonial Government, as likely to take place in his district during the present month of August. Her Majesty's Government immediately took such precautions as they deemed fully adequate to secure the peace of the colony, and they ascertained from the Admiralty that a considerable naval force was about the island, and available for any emergency which might arise. The Governor, Sir Henry Storks, felt no distrust in the powers which he possessed to meet any such disturbances as were apprehended. No further information had been received since the arrival of those despatches, but he had laid papers on the table that day which gave the despatches in extenso, together with the fullest information up to the most recent period respecting the late lamentable occurrences.

NAVY—DOCKYARD EXPENDITURE.

  QUESTION.
  MR. SEELYsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether he will allow the investigation which was agreed to be entered upon on the 6th of March, 1866, to be continued, so that the correctness of Mr. Seely's statements in the House relating to the management of Her Majesty's Dockyards, and the replies thereto, or reports thereon of the Admiralty, as contained in papers 465 and 465-I may be ascertained?
  SIR JOHN PAKINGTON: Sir, I am not aware to what agreement it is that the hon. Gentleman refers. I have looked into Hansard for the 6th of March, and can find there no trace of any such agreement. My answer, however, to the hon. Gentlemen is this:—That if he himself desires to go into the Accountant General's Office and investigate any part of the dockyard expenditure, I shall be willing to promote that investigation on his part, and he shall have every possible information laid before him. But I think—indeed, I feel assured—that the hon. Gentleman will conduct such an investigation in a fair spirit; and in the event of his coming to any entry or to any other information which he thinks is of a doubtful character I hope he will ask for an explanation on
  2162
  the spot from the officers of the department, and not come down to the House and make a complaint on any such subject, unless the answer he receives is unsatisfactory. I make this observation because I am sorry to say the investigations instituted by the hon. Gentleman's secretary were not conducted in that spirit. The consequence was that the hon. Gentleman came down to the House not very long ago, and, upon the authority of his secretary, made a statement which involved a series of errors, one of which was of the gravest kind—namely, that an extravagant sum, £5,600, had been expended upon the repair of boats. And when I pointed out this serious error to the hon. Member, the only excuse he made was that his secretary had read the wrong line. This was in a printed paper; and no man of business, looking at such a paper, would have made that mistake. Therefore I am obliged to say that, while I shall be glad to afford every facility to the hon. Member himself, I am not disposed to admit his secretary again into the office.
  MR. SEELY: Sir, after what has fallen from the right hon. Gentleman, perhaps I may be allowed to offer one word in explanation.
  MR. SPEAKERintimated to the hon. Member that it would be irregular for him to proceed.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

  QUESTION.
  MR. M'LAGANsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Board of Trade, Whether, in his reply to the hon. Member for East Norfolk, on Agricultural Statistics, he meant his remarks as to the incompleteness of the Returns to apply to Scotland as well as to England?
  SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEsaid, his remarks did not apply to Scotland, the Returns from that part of the Kingdom he had no reason to complain of.

  NAVY—SAVINGS BANKS.—QUESTION.
  MR. KINNAIRDsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether any instructions have been issued to the Admirals commanding on the different stations for the formation of Savings Banks for the men on board Her Majesty's Ships; and, if so, when such Savings Banks will come into operation?
  SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, he was happy to be able to give his hon. Friend

  2163
  an answer to his question, which, he thought, would be satisfactory. The late Board of Admiralty had not neglected that matter. On the contrary, it had issued orders to the Mediterranean station respecting the establishment of savings banks, and an experiment was now being tried on board the Victoria. He trusted that when the House met again next Session it would be in his power to state that further progress had been made in that matter.

  THE RHINE PROVINCES.—QUESTION.
  SIR GEORGE BOWYER: Seeing the noble Lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in his place, I am desirous of asking him a question respecting a statement which appeared in the papers of this morning—namely, that the Emperor of the French, certainly, as appears to me to be somewhat too late, has made a demand upon the Prussian Government for the rectification of the frontier, to be carried into effect by the cession of territory from Prussia to France. Now, I wish to know, Whether the noble Lord has any knowledge on the subject; and also, whether he is aware of what reply has been given by the Prussian Government to this demand of the Emperor of the French?
  LORD STANLEY: In answer, Sir, to the hon. Member, I have to say that according to a telegram which has reached me I have no doubt that communications to the effect he has spoken of have passed and are passing between the Government of Paris and the Government of Berlin. As to the precise nature of these communications, I am not in a position to state what they are; still less am I able to say what the reply given by the Government of Prussia has been.

THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS.

  QUESTION.
  MR. BAILLIE COCHRANEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has received any fresh Despatch relating to the Abyssinian prisoners; and, if so, whether he is prepared to lay it upon the table of the House?
  LORD STANLEYsaid, in reply, that he had not received any despatch which would affect the statements already made upon the subject in the House. Such papers as he had received in relation to the matter were of no importance. He
  2164
  might repeat, however, what he had stated previously, that the Government were preparing to send back Mr. Flad, a gentleman who had already been received by the Emperor of Abyssinia, under such circumstances as he hoped would result in the release of the prisoners at present detained in that country?
  MR. HENRY SEYMOURsaid, he wished to know whether something more than the sending of Mr. Flad back to Abyssinia was not necessary for the removal of the disgrace which had accrued to the country in the matter of having two persons acting as unsuccessful envoys at the capital of a barbarous chief?
  LORD STANLEYsaid, that the question asked by the hon. Gentleman was not so much an interrogation upon a matter of fact as intended to induce the Government to enter upon a defence of the course which had been adopted. He should be prepared to defend the action of the Government at the proper moment, but it would be inconvenient at the present time; and with respect to a question asked without previous notice, he should decline to enter into a discussion upon the subject. The Government had, he believed, adopted the measures which were best calculated to procure the release of the unfortunate captives. If the hon. Gentleman, however, after he had made himself fully acquainted with the facts relating to the matter, should be of a different opinion, it would be perfectly competent for him to argue the question out on a fitting occasion.
  COLONEL SYKESsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether, in his opinion, the release of the Abyssinian captives could not be better effected by the present to the king of a few barrels of gunpowder and a few hundred rifles than by any other means?
  [No answer was returned to this question.]

NAVY—DOCKYARD EXPENDITURE.

  EXPLANATION.
  MR. SEELYsaid, he desired to offer a word of explanation in answer to the remarks of the right hon. Baronet the First Lord of the Admiralty, who, in substance, had accused him of acting in a manner unbecoming a Member of Parliament, in not laying the information obtained by his secretary before the Admiralty prior to his having made a statement upon the subject to the House. It was his wish that every fact, or supposed fact, which he intended

  2165
  to submit to the House should first of all be laid before the Admiralty, and he therefore, he believed, had just cause to complain of the remarks of the right hon. Baronet, which were calculated to affect his character, not only for accuracy, but also for fairness. The door of Somerset House was, so to speak, shut in the face of his secretary, and access to the books was denied him, as soon, he supposed, as it was found that the knowledge which he was likely to gain would be unpleasant. Besides, he had offered to submit to the Admiralty every fact which he intended to lay before the House, and that offer was rejected by the right hon. Gentleman.

  METROPOLIS—SHOREDITCH WORK-HOUSE.—QUESTION.
  In reply to a Question from Mr. Alderman LUSK, on behalf of Mr. Oliphant,
  MR. GATHORNE HARDYsaid, it was quite a mistake to suppose that he had promised to produce the Papers relating to the alleged acts of cruelty committed in the Shoreditch Workhouse. What he had said was, that if the hon. Member for Stirling (Mr. Oliphant) thought proper to move for these Papers, he (Mr. Hardy) would not resist the Motion. But he found on going to his office that morning that some additional Papers had been received, which he had not had time to peruse. As those Papers might necessitate further correspondence it was therefore obvious that the Papers were not in a fit condition to lay before the House.

LORD CHIEF BARON.

  MOTION FOR PAPERS.
  MR. J. STUART MILLsaid, he rose to move for an Address for Copies of all the Correspondence which has taken place between Members of the Government and Mr. Rigby Wason in relation to the appointment of Sir FitzRoy Kelly to be Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer; and of any Correspondence between the Members of Government and Sir FitzRoy Kelly upon the same subject.
  MR. WALPOLEsaid, he had no objection to the first part of the Motion; but as the second part related to communications made to him by the Lord Chief Baron which were of a private character,
  2166
  he (Mr. Walpole) could not assent to their production. There might be an investigation into the matter in another Session, and in that case he thought that the Lord Chief Baron should have an opportunity of considering what answer he should make.

BUST OF THE LATE MR. JOSEPH HUME.

  ANSWER TO ADDRESS.
  Answer to Address [15th June], reported, as follows:—
  I have received your Address praying that I will cause to be placed within the precincts of the House of Commons a Bust, offered by his widow, of the late Joseph Hume, esquire, who for nearly forty years ably, laboriously, and disinterestedly served his Country in the House of Commons.
  And I will give directions to My First Commissioner of Works and Public Buildings to consider in what part of the precincts of the House of Commons such Bust may most appropriately be placed.

  PROROGATION OF THE PARLIAMENT.
  Message to attend The LORDS COMMISSIONERS.
  The House went, and the ROYAL ASSENT was given to several Bills.
  And afterwards a Speech of The LORDS COMMISSIONERS was delivered to both Houses of Parliament by THE LORD CHANCELLOR.
  Then a Commission for proroguing the Parliament was read.
  After which,
  THE LORD CHANCELLOR said—
  My Lords, and Gentlemen,
  By virtue of Her Majesty's Commission, under the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and now read, we do, in Her Majesty's Name, and in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday the Twenty-fifth day of October next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday the Twenty-fifth day of October next.

  GENERAL INDEX TO SESSION 1866.

    EXPLANATION OF THE ABBREVIATIONS.
    IT being a principal object of this Index, that the proceedings on each Motion shall be completely recorded, some abbreviations of forms were necessary. Those who are accustomed to the proceedings of Parliament will readily fill up the voids. Those who are not so familiar, may find the following explanation useful, but will find the whole formulæ set out at length in the "Contents."
    The names which immediately follow the title of a Bill are those of the Peers or hon. Members who have charge of the Bill.
    The numbers which are added at stages of Bills are the official numbers of the prints and reprints ordered at each stage, and, with the Statute, will enable the reader to follow all the changes the Bill has undergone.
    The entries—Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2a;" Amendt. "this day six months;" Question put, "That 'now,' &c."—indicate the usual form of raising the issue—namely, "That the word 'now' stand part of the Question."
    "The Ballot, Amendt. on Committee of Supply" indicates that the Question was raised by means of an Amendment moved on the Motion (after the Order of the Day for the House to go into Committee of Supply had been read), "That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair." In this case the issue is formally raised by the Motion "To leave out from the word 'That' to the end of the Question, in order to add" other words. The decision is taken on the Question, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."
    The Nos. added to the "Parliamentary Papers" are in most cases those given in the Commons' "List of Papers for Sale."
