§ noble Secretary for the Home Department, whether the affidavits relative to the case of Samuel Steon, which had been sent to the Home Office, were deemed satisfactory, and whether he considered the Under Sheriff of Hertfordshire exonerated from blame on account of his alleged detention of that prisoner's respite. He put this question in consequence of some remarks which had appeared not only in country papers, but also in a great leading newspaper in the metropolis, with which Government, he feared, was but too intimately connected.
§ Viscount Melbournesaid, he was somewhat surprised that the noble Marquis should have questioned him on such a matter as this, merely because it happened to have been mentioned in the public prints; but, in reply to his inquiry, he had no objection to state, that he did not attach blame to the High Sheriff of Hertfordshire for not having expedited the respite referred to. The High Sheriff, however, being the responsible person, he knew nothing whatever of the conduct of the High Sheriff's deputy.
The Marquis of Salisburysaid, he should have acted more regularly had he stated, that this subject had already formed a topic of conversation in another place.
§ Viscount Melbournesaid, it was disorderly to bring the matter forward.
The Marquis of Salisburydid not consider himself out of order in having asked the question of the noble Viscount.
