HC Deb 23 May 1876 vol 229 c1113
SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

asked the Home Secretary, in the absence of the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, before the final release of the prisoner Winslow, he will afford this House an opportunity of considering the correspondence between Her Majesty's Government and that of the United States, relating to his extradition?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS,

in reply, said, the prisoner Winslow had been further remanded on the application of the Government until the 31st instant pending further communications between the two Governments. As a rule, it was not the practice—and it would be generally inconvenient—to lay Papers upon the Table before the Correspondence had been concluded; but as in this case a partial publication had been made at Washington, the Government would lay the Papers on the Table as far as they had gone.
