§ COLONEL FRENCHsaid, he wished to ask, Whether the Foreign Office have received the award of the Senate of Hamburg in the case of Captain Melville White, and whether they are prepared to lay it on the table of the House?
§ MR. LAYARDsaid, in reply, that a despatch from the Chargé d' Affaires at Hamburg had been received, stating that the Senate had given their award, and it was, he regretted to say, unfavourable to Captain Melville White. If that gentleman had not yet received a copy of the award he might expect to receive it every day.
