§ Major ARCHER-SHEEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information as to the expulsion from Rotterdam of a British subject named Tinsley, local representative of the Uranium Steamship Company; whether Mr. Tinsley has been ordered to leave the country because some Russian immigrants, arriving from the United States in the steamship "Volterno," landed in contravention of local regulations; whether these immigrants mutinied on board and forced the captain to land them; and whether, if the facts are as stated in the first part of the question, he will cause an emphatic protest to be made to the Dutch Government against this treatment of a British subject?
§ Sir E. GREYAs was stated in reply to the question asked by the hon. Member for North Down on 6th instant, Mr. Tinsley is to be expelled from Holland, on the ground that he attempted to land certain Russian immigrants, after this had been expressly prohibited by the police commissioner. His Majesty's Minister has already been in communication with the Netherlands Minister on the subject, but I am not yet in a position to make a definite statement.
