§ MR. C. J. DARLINGI beg to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs what is now the position with regard to the extradition of Jabez Spencer Balfour, and whether the Government anticipate that he will arrive in this country in time to take his trial with the other persons against whom a prosecution for fraud in connection with the Liberator group of companies has been commenced.
§ SIR E. GREYDelay has occurred owing to actions brought against Jabez Balfour before the Provincial Tribunal at Salta, and the case is at present suspended till the close of the legal vacation, towards the end of this month. I cannot say when a decision will be arrived at; but every effort is being made to bring the questions still pending to an issue.
