§ SIR WILLIAM PALLISER, referring to the answer to his Question, which he said had been read to the House by the Chief Secretary for Ireland, desired to ask him, Whether the Report of the Commission was changed subsequent to the date on which it was signed; if so, whether the right hon. Gentleman would give the date of the alteration; and whether he would give the Return of the dates of the statements, which constituted the rebutting evidence? This was a matter in which the dates were of great importance. If the Commission had signed the Report, not only ought the dates to have been given, but there ought to have been a Memorandum calling attention to the fact.
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI would suggest to the hon. and gallant Member that as we have the advantage of the presence in the House of a Gentleman who was a Member of the Commission, it would be better that the Question should be addressed to that hon. Member.
§ SIR WILLIAM PALLISERsaid, he did not wish to cast any blame upon the Government; but he desired to obtain the information.
