§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any arrangements have been entered into with the Government of the United States of America to transfer that portion of Robert's Point south of the 49th parallel of north latitude to the Dominion of Canada? The hon. Member said that although the peninsula would belong to Canada, yet about two miles of it appeared to be south of 1033 the boundary line, and would seem to be left in the hands of the United States.
§ VISCOUNT ENFIELDSome communication passed on this subject between the Commissioners in 1859; but I believe that the United States Government did not return any official reply on this point, and since that date the subject has not again been matter of communication between the two Governments.
