ALDERMAN SALOMONSsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State 842 for Foreign Affairs, If any decision has been come to in the case of Mr. Moss, sentenced by Mr. Alcock to fine, deportation from Japan, and imprisonment at Hongkong; and if he is prepared to lay any papers on that subject upon the Table of the House?
§ LORD JOHN RUSSELLsaid, the matter had been referred to the Law Officers of the Crown; but he thought it would not be proper to lay the Papers upon the Table, as there were legal proceedings arising out of them at Hong Kong.
