§ MR. BAINESsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what means are being adopted to enforce that clause in the recent treaty with Japan which prohibits the importation of opium.
§ LORD JOHN RUSSELLsaid, in the treaty with Japan he could not find that there was any clause which required the interference of the British Government. In that treaty the importation of opium was prohibited; it was deemed contraband, but there was no clause that the British Government should interfere to execute the laws of Japan.
