§ MR. OSBORNEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House the Memorial presented to him in the matter of Mr. Fenelly, with the Appendix thereto, and also the Memorial of the Special Jury who tried the case?
MR. BRUCEreplied that Memorials of this sort were regarded as privileged communications affecting the exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, and not as ordinary official correspondence; it was not, therefore, usual to present them to the House, except in response to an Address to the Crown praying for their production.
§ MR. OSBORNEsaid, he would take advantage of the first opportunity to move for the Papers.
