§ SIR CHARLES DILKE () Gloucestershire, Forest of DeanTo ask the Under Secretary of Slate for Foreign Affairs if His Majesty's Government are yet in a position to say whether the arrest of Herr Rabinek took place on board the 1331 "Scotia;" and, if so, whether that ship was in British or in Congo State waters at the time; and what course in reference to the arrest it is proposed to adopt.
(Answered by Lord Cranborne.) As the right hon. Baronet is aware, His Majesty's Government have applied to the owners of the "Scotia" for definite information on the point mentioned. That information we have not yet received. The course to be followed must depend on the facts as eventually ascertained.
