HC Deb 30 July 1889 vol 338 c1792

Adjourned Debate on the Motion for the discharge of Mr. J. Morley from this Committee.

MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

The Government have kept this notice on the Paper for a week after five Members of the Committee have seceded from it and formally separated themselves from it. I now find that the remnant of the Committee who have continued to sit after the withdrawal of hon. Members on this side have now performed the "happy despatch." They have instructed their Chairman to report to the House on the evidence which they have furtively taken; and as this evidence is of no value, the question is entirely unaffected, and remains to be dealt with by a new Committee. When the new Committee comes to be appointed, care will have to be taken that the inquiry is begun anew.

Order postponed.
