§ MR. OSBORNEsaid, he rose to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, If he will lay upon the table of the House any sub- 1144 sequent Correspondence between the Admiralty and Lieutenant Brand, since that officer was placed on half-pay?
LORD HENRY LENNOXsaid, his right hon. Friend (Sir John Pakington) was unfortunately absent from the House at the present time, being detained at a public meeting in the City, and therefore he should have to ask the hon. Member to postpone his Question.
§ MR. OSBORNEsaid, he would now beg to be permitted to ask the hon. Member for East Surrey, whether he has not received a letter from Lieutenant Brand which was in every way satisfactory to his feelings.
MR. BUXTONSir, in answer to the appeal of the hon. Member for Nottingham, I am happy to say that I have received from Lieutenant Brand a most ample and excellent letter of apology, and I shall be very happy to consent to its publication, if there is no objection.
