In a Monday Lords session Lord Wharncliffe pressed Viscount Melbourne on the Turton case, alleging a possible appointment dispute regarding a gentleman who went to Canada. Melbourne defended the papered facts, noting no appointment was made and the matter raised questions about ministerial accountability.
