Her Majesty's Mails
·
William Lewins
201
The
Government
saw
the
necessity
of
giving
way,
in
order
that
the
public
mind
might
be
quieted.
The
Home
Secretary
now
acknowledged,
that
since
he
was
last
questioned
on
the
subject,
the
matter
had
assumed
a
very
serious
aspect,
and
he
thought
it
was
time
that
the
truth,
the
whole
truth,
and
nothing
but
the
truth,
should
be
told.
Though
he
would
have
readily
endured
the
obloquy
cast
upon
him,
even
though
it
should
crush
him,
rather
than
injure
the
public
service;
and
though
he
had
endured
much,
especially
after
the
votes
and
speeches
of
the
Opposition
leaders--all
men
conversant
with
official
duties--in
favour
of
Mr.
Duncombe's
former
motions,
he
now
felt
himself
relieved
from
his
late
reserve,
and
felt
bound
to
confess
that
he
believed
it
to
be
impossible
to
maintain
the
power
confided
to
him
longer
without
a
full
inquiry.
He
would
now
not
only
consent
to
the
committee,
but
would
desire
that
it
should
make
the
fullest
possible
inquiry,
and
he
would
promise
on
his
part,
not
only
to
state
all
he
knew,
but
lend
all
the
resources
of
his
Department
to
attain
that
object.
In
accordance
with
this
determination,
he
proposed
that
the
Committee
should
be
a
secret
one,
invested
with
the
amplest
powers
to
commence
the
investigation
at
once,
and
should
be
composed
of
five
usually
voting
against
the
Government,
viz.
Sir
C.
Lemon,
Mr.
Warburton,
Mr.
Strutt,
Mr.
Orde,
and
the
O'Connor
Don;
and
four
who
generally
support
them,
viz.
Lord
Sandon
(chairman),
Mr.
