§ MR. YERBURGHI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the undisputed claims of British merchants against the Persian Custom House remaining unredressed for more than two years; and whether, as such treatment prejudices British commerce and influence in that region, he will instruct our Minister at Teheran to take such steps as may be necessary to effect a speedy settlement of the matter.
§ *THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (MR. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordIt is presumed the question relates to the claims of Messrs. Sassoon and Company, as to which correspondence has been recently going on, and hopes have been held out that they will be settled before the end of the present month.
