§ MR. M'EWAN (Edinburgh, Central)asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, If he will lay upon the Table 351 of the House a copy of Ms despatch to the Governor of Malta, condemning the proceedings taken against Dr. Grech, the purport of which has been already stated?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)I am afraid I must refer the hon. Member to my answer to his former Question, which applied to the whole Correspondence, including this despatch. It would not, in my opinion, be desirable to give this despatch without giving the despatches of the Governor, with their enclosures, and I have stated my objections to that course. The purport of my despatch, as the hon. Member is aware, has been made known.
§ MR. M'EWANgave Notice that, in consequence of the unsatisfactory nature of the answer, he would call attention to the subject in Supply.
