HC Deb 17 July 1876 vol 230 c1480
MR. EVELYN ASHLEY,

quoting a published despatch from Mr. Consul Holmes, which promised further observations on the grievances of Herzegovina, asked, Whether those further observations had been received?

MR. BOURKE

No, Sir; Mr. Consul Holmes has not sent any such observations as those alluded to by the hon. Member for Poole. I have no doubt that he was prevented from doing so by press of business; but in October Consul Holmes sent a Memorandum upon the affairs of Herzegovina through Sir Henry Elliot, and, if the hon. Gentleman will wait a few days, he will see that Memorandum in the Papers which will be presented to Parliament very shortly.
