§ MR. FELLI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if Kaid Maclean has left Morocco for good; and has the Government received any promise that he will not return there except with the permission of the Government.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYHis Majesty's Government have no information of the future movements of Kaid Maclean, who, as the hon. Member is no doubt aware, is in the service of the Sultan of Morocco.
§ MR. FELLMay I ask if the Kaid still remains a British subject, or if, when he entered the service of the Government of Morocco, he lost his rights as a Briton?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI must ask for notice, but I may point out that in Morocco there is extra-territorial jurisdiction.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYIs Raisuli a British subject?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYNo, but he will be under British protection so long as he conducts himself satisfactorily.
§ MR. FELLI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any prospect of recovering from any quarter the money paid for the release of Kaid Maclean.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYBy a Shereefian Firman received in December last at His Majesty's Legation at Tangier, the Moorish Government have formally recognised their liability in respect of the sum advanced by His Majesty's Government for the release of Sir Harry Maclean.
