§ MAJOR DICKSONsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether there is any objection to lay before the House a Copy of the official Correspondence that has taken place with reference to the encroachments of the sea near the Guilford Battery at Dover; and if there is any objection to state what steps the Government have taken, or propose to take, in relation thereto?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON, in reply, said, he had no objection to produce the correspondence, but that he could not 1808 state what steps the Government proposed to take in reference to the matter in question until an answer had been received to the latest communication to the corporation of Dover.
