§ MR. CHILDERSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty a Question of which he had given him private Notice, Whether in the Correspondence relating to the execution of a native on board Her Majesty's ship "Beagle" is included a despatch from Commodore Hoskins to the Admiralty, calling their attention to a certain point—the competency of the officers concerned; and, whether he has any objection to lay on the Table the answer of the Admiralty to the Commodore?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHI think it would be more desirable that the answer of the Commodore should be laid on the Table together with the despatch to him; and I propose to do so when the answer has been received and considered by the Admiralty.
