§ MR. WEIR (ROSS and Cromarty)I do not know whether I am in order, but I wish to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he has any confirmation of the report in some newspapers that the French had acquired certain territory within half-an-hour's steaming of Macao.
§ * THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord CRANBORNE,) RochesterNo, we have no such information.
