HC Deb 24 June 1870 vol 202 c894
MR. J. LOWTHER

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Why the affidavit of the Bridgwater Commissioners has been omitted from the Return ordered by the House on the 10th of June, headed—"Copy of all Affidavits (not already laid upon the Table) filed in the Court of Queen's Bench in the matters of the Queen v. Fenelly, and the Queen v. Hardiment?"

MR. BRUCE

, in reply, said, he had nothing to do in the matter. The Motion for those Papers was in the hands of the Officers of the House, and the Question should have been directed to them.

MR. J. LOWTHER

Do I then unstand that the matter is not in the hands of the Home Department?

MR. BRUCE

No; it is in the department of the Officers of the House.
