§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has yet received ally reply from the Turkish Government with regard to the ransom of Mr. Abbott, which was supplied by the British Government and recovered from the brigands by the Turks; and what is the cause of the delay.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYOn 17th March, His Majesty's Consul-General at Salonica sent home a cheque for £7,427 14s. 10d., being the amount recovered by the local authorities from the culprits and the sale of the latter's effects. The recovery of further sums is still the subject of correspondence, and at present I am unable to give any further information on the matter.
