§ SIR GEORGE BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in reference to the arrest and trial of Pastor Thoumaïan and others the British Vice Consul in Angora has sent in the Report he was instructed to make on the subject; whether the Turkish 1743 Authorities have satisfied themselves of Pastor Thoumaïan's innocence, and ordered his release; and whether he has yet been released?
§ SIR E. GREYI am informed that the trials are in progress, and that M. Thoumaïan's examination has not yet come on. The Turkish Authorities, after some consideration, decided that they could not order the release of M. Thoumaïan without trial.
