712. Do you think it would be convenient,
in consecpience of what has taken place, that the
further consideration of their case should be
postponed to Thursday? — 1 think it would; ue
Lave had no] time fully to consider their proposition.
Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkiuson was
heard, on the part of the Submarine Com
pany, to apply that their case should stand
over till Thursday.
713. Mr. Rodwe 11.*) They are all connect
ed one with another, are they not? — No, they
are rat!, er conjlicting one with the other.
714. I mean they all want consideration
together? — Yes.
715. The consideration of them is con
uected? — Yes.
Mr. Yernon Harcourt was heard to
apply that the further consideration of the
Bill should be postponed till Thursday, by
which time the result would be known as to
the negociatious now in progress.

examined by
1035. The Chairrnan.f) Do you think that
there would be as great or greater security against
secrecy bepg violated, if the matter is in the hands
of the Government? — 1 think that there would be
greater security, on account of reasons which 1
will slortly mention. At present dpi ers are very
Utile employed by the public, and if they were
employed, 1 believe that many messages which now
are not sent, would be sent by the telegraph lines;
and if the Post Office were to issue instructions
hy wl ich the public might be put into possession
of what dphers they might use, and the security
depended upon them. 1 think that almost any per
sons of ordinary intelligence, would be able to
send their Communications by cipher, w! ich they do
not noiv.
1064. Mr. Leemau.ft) May I ask if you
have seen the case to which I referred in the
House of Commous? — No.
1065. That was the case of au English
gentleman håving a large contract with the French
Government, who went over to France, who was
there three weeks uegociating with the French
Minister, who received telegrams during that

712. Tror De, at det vilde være hensigts
mæssigt, som Følge af hvad der har fundet Sted,
at den videre Overveielse af derts Sag udsættes
til Thorsdag? — Jey tror det; vi have ikke havt
Tid til fuldkommen at overveie derts Forslag.
Hr. Serjeant Tindal Atkiuson erklærede
paa Submarine Co.’s Yegne, at han ønskede,
at dets Sag maatte udsættes til Thorsdag.
713. Hr. Rod wel 1*). De staa alle i For
bindelse med hveraudre, ikke sandt? — Nei, de
staa snarere i Strid med hverandre.
7 14. Jeg mener, at de alle maa tages under
Overveielse sammen? — Ja.
715. Overveielsen af dem hænger sammen?
Ja.
Hr. Yernon Harcourt forlangte, at den
videre Overveielse af Billen skulde udsættes
til Thorsdag, til hvilken Tid Resultatet af de
Underhandlinger, som nu vare i Gang, vilde
være bekjendt.
Sir Charles Wheatstone**),
examineret af
1035. K ornitéfo rm an deu.f) Tror De, at der
vilde være en ligesaa stor ellerstørreSikkeihed mod
at Hemmeligholdelsen blev krænket, naar Sageu
er i Regjeriugeus Uænder? – Jeg tror, ut der vilde
være en større SikkerLed, af Grunde, som jeg korle
lic, t skal nævne. For Nærværende anvendes Ziffre
megef lidt af Publikum, og hvis de anvendtes, tror
jeg, ut mange Depecher, der nu ikke sendes, vilde
blive afsendte paa Telegrajlinierne; og dersom
Postvcesenet udstedte Instruktioner, ved hvilke Pu
blikum kunde blive underrettet om, hvilke Ziffre,
det kunde bruge og SikkerLeden beroede paa disse
tror jeg, at ncesten alle Personer med almindelin
Forstand vilde være istand til at sende deres Te
legrammer med Ziffre, hvilket de ikke gjøre nu.
1064. Hr. Lee man. ff) Tør jeg spørge,
om De har seet det Tilfælde, hvortil jeg hen
tydede i Underhuset? — Nei.
1065. Det var et Tilfælde med en engelsk
Herre, der havde en betydelig Kontrakt med den
franske Regjering. Han reiste over til Fraukrig,
var der i tre Uger og underhandlede med den
franske Minister. I disse tre Uger modtog hau
