HC Deb 01 March 1859 vol 152 c1057
MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE

said, he wished to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Correspondence with the Government of the United States on the subject of the Right of Visit will be laid upon the Table of the House; and also whether those Papers will include any instructions given during the year 1858 to the Commanders of our cruisers, with respect to the treatment of vessels suspected of Slave-Trading and showing the American flag?

MR. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD

said, that the Papers had been moved for in "another place," and that when obtained they would also be laid upon the Table of that House. Those Papers would include the instructions given in 1858 to the Commanders of our cruisers, with respect to the treatment of suspected vessels bearing the American flag.
