§ MR. E. JENKINS,who had given Notice of his intention to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he has stopped the exhibition of Zulus at St. James's Hall; whether, in order to do so, he threatened to get the licence of the proprietors or lessees suspended; by what legal or other process a Home Secretary is enabled to suspend or to interfere with the licence of a public place of amusement; and, whether he is prepared, on behalf of the Government, to pay the damages ensuing from his interference? said, that he learned from the right hon. Gentleman that he had been misinformed, and that he had not, in fact, interfered with the performance of the Zulus at the St. James's Hall. His informant, a Member of that House, had made a mistake. He had to express 445 his regret for having placed the Question on the Paper, and he now begged to withdraw it.
MR. ASSHETON CROSSI have put the whole of the facts before the Directors, and I understand that the exhibition will take place.
