§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any further communication has been received from the Dutch Government regarding the Costa Rica case; whether he can state the present position of the question or the purport of the last communication from the British to the Dutch Government; and what answer has been given by the Foreign Office to the protests of the New South Wales Government and its demand for redress?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, BerwickThere is nothing to add to the statement which I made on Friday night, except that we have since received the Report of the Law Officers on the question of arbitration, which will be considered without delay. I understood that the communications from the New South Wales Government have been fully answered by the Colonial Office.
