THE INDEMNITY ACT.

Mr. BAINES (on behalf of Mr. Hadfield) asked the
Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, as
the Parliamentary Oaths Amendment Bill had been
passed, and the Qualification for Offices Abolition Bill
having passed both Houses of Parliament, he would
consider it necessary, in this or any future session to bring
in a yearly Indemnity Bill; or whether he considered such
Indemnity Bill would be unnecessary when the Royal As-
sent is obtained to the Qualification for Offices Abolition
Bill ?

Sir G. GREY said the chief necessity for the introduc-
tion of the annual Indemnity Bill had been superseded by
the passing of the Qualification for Offices Bill. There
were, however, some offices which required the taking of
an oath, and before the act was done awhy with it would
be necessary to make full inquiry into all those cases.
THE JAMAICA COMMISSION.
Mr. M. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for the
Colonies whether, having before him the report of the
Jamaica Commissioners of Inquiry, he had advised here
