MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, When the correspondence and documents relating to the expulsion of the Rev. John Jones from the Loyalty Islands by the French, which was ordered by the House on the 7th of August, will be in the hands of Members?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

The publication of these Papers was delayed, because it was understood that the London Missionary Society wished to submit a further statement. As, however, it is desired that the Correspondence hitherto shall be presented, it can he placed in the hands of Members in a few days.
