THE EARL OF MILLTOWNasked, Whether the Government would lay on the Table the letter from General Gordon of the 4th of November last along with the other Papers which had been promised?
§ EARL GRANVILLE,in reply, said, that he intended to adhere to the rule of asking the noble Earl to give Notice of his Question. On more than one occasion last year that rule was broken through—by himself, he believed, in one instance—and some public inconvenience had arisen in consequence. He was therefore determined in future, if possible, to keep to it.
THE EARL OF MILLTOWNsaid, that if the letter to which his Question referred was not included in the Papers about to be presented, he would move for its production.
