§ SIR G. BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any reply has been received from the United States Government as to claims for demurrage and injury to cargo on behalf of the British sealing schooner Henrietta, seized in Behring Sea for contravention of the modus vivendi, but taken to Litka for trial, condemned, and released, instead of being transferred to the British authorities according to the terms of that modus vivendi?
§ SIR E. GREYThe representations which were made in regard to this vessel were confined to a protest against the action of the United States Authorities, and it seems reasonable to await the result of her trial in the British Courts for infraction of the modus vivendi before making claims on account of the irregular procedure pursued in regard to her.
