§ MR. WHITWORTHasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If his attention has been called to a paragraph in the "Saint James's Gazette" of Monday, stating that frequent sales of slaves take place at Tangier, and that on Friday last one was sold for fifty-two dollars?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe attention of Her Majesty's Government has been called to the statements referred to; but no information on the subject has been received at the Foreign Office. Her Majesty's Minister at Tangier will be instructed to report on the matter. It unfortunately happens that there is no Slave Trade Treaty between this country and Morocco.
