HC Deb 11 June 1858 vol 150 c1946
VISCOUNT BURY

said, he wished to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs another question. The following telegraphic despatch, dated Belgrade, 8th of June, had been received:— Mr. De Fonblanque, Her Majesty's Consul General at Belgrade, was attacked by a Turkish soldier on the evening of the 7th of June, and severely wounded with a sword bayonet and contused by stones thrown at him. The act is attributed to fanaticism, connected probably with the bad feeling created by the Montenegrin affair. The Pasha appears to make lightly of it, but the Servian population is much enraged. He desired to know whether the Government have received any information upon that subject?
