HC Deb 08 June 1883 vol 280 c84
MR. W. H. SMITH

asked, Whether the Prime Minister, or any other Member of the Government, could give the House any information with regard to the circumstances connected with the less of Her Majesty's Ship Lively yesterday afternoon? The matter was one of great gravity, and he was sure the House would be glad to have any information the Government could afford.

MR. GLADSTONE

I am very sorry I cannot.
