§ MR. SAMPSON LLOYDasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House Copies of all Correspondence respecting Trade between British Burma and Western China since 17th February 1873, between the Secretary of State for India and the Governor General of India, between the latter and the Chief Commissioner and Political Agent of British Burma, between the said Chief Commissioner and his Agents at Mandalay and Bhamo, between the Mandalay Agent and the Government of Burma, and between the Governor General of India and Her Majesty's Minister at Peking (in continuation of Parliamentary Paper, "Rangoon and Western China," No. 258, of Session 1873)?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTON, in reply, said, that he proposed shortly to lay upon the Table Papers giving the reason for the despatch of the expedition from British Burma to Western China, and also giving an account of the attack made upon the party. He thought that the Papers would include nearly all the Correspondence to which the hon. Member alluded.
