§ MR. HANBURYsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether instructions have been given to Her Majesty's Charge d' Affaires at Constantinople to apply for a Firman, without which the Reverend Mr. Zellar is unable to build a Church at Nazareth?
§ MR. LAYARDsaid, in reply, that instructions had been sent to our Charge d' Affaires at Constantinople to apply for this Firman. It appeared that the Porte had sent for a Report from the Pasha of the district. The Turkish authorities were waiting for that Report, and he trusted that the Firman would be granted.
