§ MR. PAUL (Edinburgh, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the case of "Howard de Walden v. Howard de Walden," tried before Sir Francis Jeune and a special jury; and whether, inasmuch as the verdict of the jury involves the conclusion that the evidence imputing misconduct to Lady Howard was procured by perjury and subornation of perjury, he will take the necessary steps for bringing to justice the persons guilty of these crimes; and whether the right hon. Gentleman is aware that Sir Francis Jeune has ordered the documents to be impounded?
§ MR. ASQUITHI believe it is a fact that the documents have been impounded. I have communicated with the learned Judge, and am in consultation with the Attorney General on the subject.
