HC Deb 02 March 1896 vol 37 c1485
SIR ELLIS ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the New and Anti-Japanese Korean Ministry, having ousted and murdered their predecessors, are now residing at the Russian Embassy, at Seoul, under the protection of Russian marines? Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will allow me to ask him also whether it is a fact that the King as well as the Ministry is in the Russian Embassy?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. GEORGE CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

In the information that we have received the King and Crown Prince alone are mentioned as having taken refuge in the Russian Legation.
