§ MR. SOMERSET BEAUMONTasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the charge against Mr. Frank Noel has been entirely dismissed; whether, seeing that Mr. Frank Noel's generous conduct in the affair of the Massacre at Marathon had been fully approved, Mr. Erskine was instructed to protest against it; and, whether the Papers will be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ VISCOUNT ENFIELD, in reply, said, that Mr. Erskine telegraphed on the 18th instant that he had been informed on good authority that the Court of Appeal had ordered the provisional cessation of all further proceedings against Mr. Noel, and that a warrant for his discharge was issued that evening. It would, he thought, be seen from the Papers just published that all steps that could be properly adopted to insure Mr. Noel receiving protection and support were from the first taken by Mr. Erskine, either without or under instructions from 762 home. He (Viscount Enfield) believed that the Papers relating to this subject were circulated that morning.
