§ EARL DE LA WARRasked Her Majesty's Government, Whether recent Papers and Correspondence relative to the now Constitution of Malta could be laid on the Table of the House?
THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (The Earl of ONSLOW)said, that a Constitution had been recently granted to Malta, and a Royal Commission had been sent out to inquire into the question as to whether the Island should be divided into districts, and, if so, into what districts. A telegram had been received that the Report on the subject had left Malta and 139 would reach them very shortly, and when printed the Report would be laid on the Table as soon as possible. He therefore hoped that the noble Earl would postpone any remarks that he had to make on that subject until the Report had been presented.
