§ MR. ATKINSON (Boston)asked the Under Secretary' of (State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has received any further information from Tonga?
THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TUB COLONIES) (Sir HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)(who replied) said: On Friday last I received the following telegram from Sir Charles Mitchell:—
Arrived at Tonga, March 27. King afforded every facility for inquiry being made. Will probably last for three weeks. All quiet. British interests, so far as can be learnt, were not affected by recent events.Further despatches have been received 1105 since my answer to a Question on this subject on March 1; but they do not add materially to our information, and they are all of earlier date than the departure of Sir Charles Mitchell for Tonga.
