§ MR. LOCKEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to request the States of Jersey to take into serious their consideration "The Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the Civil, Municipal, and Ecclesiastical Laws of the Island of Jersey," which was ordered on the 21st April, 1859?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, that the Report could be found in the Library of the House. It was a bulky volume, and he had not had time to call the attention of the Government to it. His attention had been called to the state of the Laws of Jersey, in consequence of certain proceedings which had recently taken place there. The result was, that he had given instructions that an arrangement should be made for an interview between himself and the Governor at some convenient time during the Recess, in order to confer upon the subject of such administration of the law.
