§ *MR. MACONOCHIE (Aberdeenshire, E.)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that 60,000 barrels of Norwegian herrings were lately imported into Archangel duty free; and, if so, whether Scotch herrings will be entitled to similar favourable treatment under the most-favoured-nation clause of our commercial treaties with Russia.
§ THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Earl PERCY,) Kensington, S.No, Sir; but the Vice-Consul at Archangel will be instructed to report on the matter.
