HL Deb 27 February 1843 vol 66 cc1336-7
Lord Campbell

said, the noble Duke opposite stated on a former occasion that he would have no objection to lay on the Table copies of two proclamations of Lord Ellenborough; one relating to the evacuation of Affghanistan, the other to the restoration of the gates of the temple of Somnauth. He (Lord Campbell) would now move for copies of those documents, in order to assist their Lordships in forming a judgment respecting those transactions. Besides the proclamation concerning the gates, there was a military order of the Governor-general, regulating the numbers and pay of the escort which was to attend them. He hoped the noble Duke would also consent to the production of that paper.

The Duke of Wellington

had no objection to produce the documents.

Ordered to be laid on the Table.
