SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether there is any truth in the report which has appeared in several newspapers to the effect that the United States Minister has made representations to Her Majesty's Government on the subject of the arrest of Michael Boyton, on the ground that he is an American citizen; and, whether any information can be given to the House, as to the course to be adopted by Her Majesty's Government on this and other similar cases?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

No, Sir. No representation has been received from the United States Government upon the subject.
