§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKENo, Sir; we have received no confirmation of the newspaper paragraph in question.
§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSasked whether the Consul General had reported; or whether instructions had been given to him to report?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEI will ask the hon. Gentleman whether he thinks the paragraph in question worthy of credence? We have every reason to believe the paragraph is totally unworthy of credence.
