HC Deb 09 February 1893 vol 8 c877
MR. T. W. RUSSELL

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can state the position in which the claim for damages made by Dr. James A. Greig, a missionary of the Irish Presbyterian Church, against the Chinese Government, now stands?

*SIR E. GREY

According to a telegram from Her Majesty's Minister at Pekin, dated the 2nd inst., an agreement has been arrived at with the Chinese Government for the settlement of Dr. Greig's claim. The particulars have not yet been reported, but a despatch from Mr. O'Conor on the subject is on its road home, and may be expected to arrive in about a month.
