THE MARQUESS OF CLANRICARDEsaid, he had placed on the Paper a Notice of the following Question:—"To ask Her Majesty's Government, Whether the statement made by the Chief Secretary for Ireland on Thursday respecting seditious language used in public by some of the lately released Fenian prisoners is intended to convey that any special immunity for such a crime is granted by the Government to that class of prisoners?" but he now thought the subject was of too grave a character to be brought before their Lordships as a mere Question, he wished to withdraw it. Another reason for doing so was that he had been informed that the speech of the right hon. Gentleman the Chief Secretary for Ireland was not accurately reported in the newspapers. It was to the particular words reported, and not to the general purport of the answer of the Chief Secretary given as a whole, that he took exception.
