SIR CHARLES WARREN'S ARTICLE.
The Home Secretary's attention will be called to the article published in a monthly magazine over the signature of Sir Charles Warren. Mr. Matthews will be asked whether it is in accordance with the usage and discipline of the Civil Service that a salaried official should be permitted publicly to discuss matters relating to his department, and disparaging the conduct of ex-Ministers of the Crown.
