§ EARL DE LA WARRI wish to ask the noble Earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the speech of the Earl of Dufferin at the recent Durbar was rightly given by the newspapers; and, if not, whether the noble Earl will put your Lordships in possession of the correct version of it?
§ EARL GRANVILLEIn this case I can give full information to my noble Friend. It appears that the Earl of Dufferin never made any speech at all. The words attributed to him were spoken by the Ameer.
