§ 19. Mr. GINNELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, seeing that Customs officials have no instructions to Tamper with goods going to Ireland, he will say by whose orders, and on what authority, cases of sporting cartridges ordered from Birmingham by Messrs. Nooney and Son, merchants, Mullingar, in the ordinary course of their business, have been in the present month examined, disturbed, and delayed at Holyhead, and again at North Wall, and a charge made for each examination, amounting in all to 10s.: and whether he will have this money refunded and an apology tendered?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI can only repeat that no charge for examination was made by the Crown.
§ Mr. GINNELLWill the hon. Gentleman answer the last part of the question, namely, whether this money will be refunded and an apology tendered? I hold the receipt.
§ Mr. MONTAGUNo charge has been made, and, therefore, I cannot refund anything.
§ Mr. GINNELLYes, it has been made, and improperly made. I will repeat the question next day the House meets.
