HC Deb 07 May 1883 vol 279 cc51-2
CAPTAIN MAXWELL-HERON

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether he would object to lay on the Table of the House the letter written by the solicitor of the late Commander of H.M.S. "Clyde," urging the Admiralty to refer to their counsel for revision of sentence and proceedings of the Court Martial under which he was condemned, on the ground that the evidence was both interested and misleading?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

in reply, said his impression was that the letter could be laid on the Table; but he would take a day longer to consider it.
