§ MR. WARTONasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether there is any instance of a colony in which the appointment of its governor, even in those cases where that office has been hereditary or elective, has not been originally made by the Crown?
MR. GLADSTONE, in reply, said, he should be most happy to answer any Question relating to a matter within his own knowledge; but as regarded that which formed the subject of the present Question, the hon. and learned Member was quite as competent as he was to ascertain the information for which he sought; and, considering the respective allowance of leisure, perhaps the hon. and learned Member was more able to find an opportunity.
