§ MR. ALDERMAN LUSKsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he has any objection to lay upon the table of the House the following documents, which appear to have been omitted from the printed Correspondence presented to the House respecting the seizure of the Tornado:—First, the enclosures in the owners' letter to the Foreign Secretary, dated the 26th of November last—namely, the copy of the Ship's Register and Bill of Sale; the copy of the Shipping Articles, or agreement with the crew; and the copy of the Customs clearance from the port of Leith. Second, a letter from Mr. Saul Isaac, to the Foreign Secretary, dated Cadiz, November, 1866. Third, a letter addressed to the Foreign Secretary by the owners of the Tornado on the 15th ultimo?
LORD STANLEYThe first set of papers, Sir, to which the Question of the hon. Gentleman refers were omitted from the blue book merely because they were very voluminous, and the whole purport of them was to be found in other parts of the Correspondence. As, however, the hon. Gentleman has called for them, and as there is no reason against their production, they can be printed in the appendix. With regard to the letter from Mr. Saul Isaac, under date of November, 1866, I cannot find any such letter. There is one, however, written in October, 1866, and perhaps the hon. Gentleman will communicate with the writer and let me know whether that is the letter to which he refers. With regard to the letter of the 15th ultimo, that will also be produced. It was received since the publication of the blue book.
