§ SIR JERVOISE JERVOISEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, At what time the labours of the Cholera Congress at Constantinople were concluded; and (as the Report has not been received), whether any Paper in the form of a Report from any of the Commissioners has been received, and whether it will be distributed?
LORD STANLEYsaid, in reply, that the Cholera Congress at Constantinople closed its sittings in the month of October last. The Report of the Congress had not yet reached the Foreign Office. They had only received through the British Commissioner a kind of abstract of the work which had been performed. He did not know why the full Report had not yet arrived, and if it should be much longer delayed he would write for it; but he thought it would be better to wait for the entire document rather than to publish an abstract which might not give an accurate or complete idea of its contents.
