§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFFasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he will lay upon the Table the application made by the 1731 Spanish Consul in the Bahamas for the surrender of refugees from Cuba, together with the answer of the Government of that Colony; and any Correspondence on the subject between the Governor of Bahama and the Colonial Office?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEYSir, the only Correspondence between the Colonial Office and the Governor of Bahama is a short, formal despatch from Lord Granville approving his action in refusing to arrest the Cuban refugees. The only objection to giving these Papers about a matter so long past is the expense the printing would involve. But if the hon. Member presses for them, he shall have them.
