§ SIR JOHN HAY (for Mr. SLAGG)asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether any report has reached the Admiralty as to the condition of the depot ship "London" in Zanzibar Harbour; whether that vessel is unhealthy and unfit for service; and, what steps the Admiralty intend to take in regard to it?
MR. CAMPBELL-BANNEEMANThere is no doubt that, during the unhealthy season of the year, the London has had a good deal of sickness on board. It is now intended to pay her off before the beginning of the next unhealthy season; and an arrangement is being made for other measures being taken for the suppression of the Slave Trade on the Zanzibar Coast.
§ SIR JOHN HAYasked if any other ship would be sent to replace the London?
