HC Deb 08 May 1893 vol 12 c321
MR. SAMUEL MONTAGU (Tower Hamlets, Whitechapel)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any satisfactory reply has been received from Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid respecting the claim for compensation from Mr. Seymour Lucas, A.R.A.; and whether further steps will be taken to obtain justice from the Spanish Railway Company, over which the Spanish Government has control, for serious injury inflicted upon a British subject while travelling on a Spanish railroad near Burgos?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

This matter has engaged the constant attention of Her Majesty's Ambassador, who reports, under date of the 1st instant, that he has now some hopes of an amicable settlement.
