e

stance to which the hon. gentleman alluded was of such a

expense they had incurred in preparing the electoral re-
turns laid upon the table of the house ?

IRON GUNS.
Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for War
whether he would have any objection to produce a copy
the correspondence between the War Department and Zi •
r
Parsons from May, 1860, to the present time, relative to
the plan of that gentleman for strengthening cast Iron
guns?.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he had great ob-
jections to producing the correspondence which took place
between the War-office and inventors, because it usually
resulted in the furnishin at the public expense a detailed
account of the invention. With respect to the second por-
tion of the question he had no objection to produce the re-
turns, so that the hon. gentleman perhaps would signify
whether he would accept that as sufficient for his purpose.

Colonies whether, since the house rose on Friday, he had
received any further despatches from Canada conveying
information as to the suppression of the Fenian raid upon

Home Department whether he was aware that the Midland
Railway Company, having obtained an act in 1363 for
Passing a bridge over the additional burial-ground of St.
Pancras, had in excess of its powers taken a portion of
the more ancient churchyard of St. Pancras for such
bridge, and was causing desecration thereby, the destruc-
tion of the tombs, and the removal of the dead.
Sir G. GREY said no further inquiry had been made
on this subject since it was last under the attention of the

report the exact circumstances of the case.

stance of the despatch he had received. He was, however,

had been displayed by all her Majesty North American
