§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any Report has been, made by Lord Hobart and Mr. Forster as to the application of the proceeds of the Loan of 1862 to the extinction of the Caimé or paper money in Turkey; and if so, whether there will be any objection to lay it upon the table of the House?
§ MR. LAYARD, in reply, said, he begged to state that Mr. Forster was not at Constantinople at the time referred to; but he might state that Lord Hobart superintended the negotiations in reference to the Loan, and there would be no objection to place all the documents upon the table of the House. He would state further, and he did so upon the authority of Lord Hobart, that the assertions made in that House and elsewhere that a part of the Loan was applied to other purposes than to the withdrawal of the Caimé and the extinction of the floating debt were entirely unfounded.
