HC Deb 20 June 1881 vol 262 c839
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, henceforward, British subjects having causes or actions against Tunisian subjects at Constantinople and other places within the Ottoman Dominions will have to bring such actions in the French Consular Courts; and, whether the appeal from such Courts lies to the Tribunal at Aix, in Provence, and, in. case British subjects succeed in gaining such causes, under what Treaty or Capitulation the sentences will be carried, into execution?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, the appeal from French Consular Courts in the Levant lies to Aix. Points closely connected with the first portion of the hon. Member's Question are now engaging the earnest attention of Her Majesty's Government.

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

Are these very questions engaging the attention of the Government?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Yes.
