HC Deb 21 June 1871 vol 207 cc385-6

Resolutions [June 20] reported.

SIR COLMAN O'LOGHLEN

said, he desired to draw attention to the fact that there still appeared upon the Estimate for the Packet Service, a memorandum that no money was to be applied to the payment of any contract that had been entered into with Mr. Joseph George Churchward. As the contract with that gentleman expired in January, 1870, there could be no object in keeping this memorandum on the Estimates, except it was for the purpose of perpetuating a party triumph.

MR. BAXTER

said, that the hon. and learned Baronet should give Notice of his intention to take the opinion of the House upon the question if he objected to the Estimates in their present form.

Resolutions agreed to.
