HC Deb 22 June 1876 vol 230 c248
MAJOR O'GORMAN

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether, in the event of any person excepting the Claimant to the Tichborne Title and Estates coming forward and proving himself to the satisfaction of Her Majesty's Government to be Arthur Orton, protection will be given to the said Arthur Orton, after such proof, to enable him to leave the United Kingdom without molestation?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

Mr. Speaker, in answer to the Question of the hon. and gallant Gentleman, I have to state that if any person claiming to be Arthur Orton makes his appearance in this country, he will, like anybody else, be under the protection of the law, and free to come and go without molestation, unless accused of some crime.
