HC Deb 24 August 1857 vol 147 cc2072-3
MR. HENLEY

I wish, Sir, to put a question to the noble Lord at the head of the Government, of which I have not been able to give him notice, namely, whether the Government are in possession of information respecting the loss of the Transit, other than that which has appeared in the telegraphic despatch.

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

No, Sir. We have no other information on the subject beyond what the telegraphic message, with some sort of confusion in it, has conveyed.
