§ In reply to Mr. J. HOLMS,
§ MR. BOURKEsaid: Full and ample accounts, Sir, of the state of affairs in 464 those parts of Turkey where Consular officers are stationed, have been presented to Parliament in Blue Book Turkey No. 1, which contains Correspondence to the end of December. This country has had no Consular officer for some time at Slivno; but the hon. Member will find in the Blue Book a Report from Consul Blount, in which he enters in great detail into the state of affairs with regard to that part of Turkey. Since then I find that no authentic report has been received with regard to the transactions which has taken place there.
