§ The EARL of EGLINTONIt will be in your Lordships' recollection that a few nights ago the noble Duke the Secretary for the Colonies (the Duke of Newcastle) charged a noble Lord connected with the late Government with having offered office to Mr. Keogh; and it may also be remembered that the name of Lord Naas was mentioned. I have to state on the part of that noble Lord that he distinctly and un-equivocally denies ever having made, or been authorised to make, an offer of office to Mr. Keogh or to any of hit political friends.
