§ MR. BURTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he has received medical reports concerning the state of mind of the Rev. H. J. Dodwell; and, if he has any objection to lay the same upon the Table of the House?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS,in reply, said, that the House would see that, for obvious reasons, it would not do to make public, Reports which were practically of a confidential character. It would not be fair to the objects of the Reports in many cases that they should be made public. He was sorry to say that, in this particular case, the substance of the Report was that it would be dangerous to the public, at present, to allow Mr. Dodwell to be released from the Broadmoor Asylum.
