§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, When the Slave Trade Papers for 1878 will be laid upon the Table; and, what progress has been made in getting the Red Sea Slave Trade Convention signed at Constantinople?
§ MR. BOURKE, in reply, said, the Slave Trade Papers would be in the possession of hon. Members in a few days. The Red Sea Slave Trade Convention with Turkey had not yet been signed; but the Government had every reason to believe that the negotiations on the subject would very shortly be brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
