§ SIR HARRY VERNEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Captain Cameron has ever been received and recognised as British Consul by King Theodore?
LORD STANLEYI should imagine, Sir, that King Theodore's acquaintance with the duties and office of a British Consul was of a very vague character. I do not suppose he has ever heard of an exequatur. There is, however, no doubt that Consul Cameron has been recognised by King Theodore in his capacity of representative of the British Government.
