Captain MURRAYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has yet received a claim in respect of the alleged damage done by a war vessel to the nets of the Johnshaven fishing-boat "Father and Sons," ME. 172, on the 7th July; and, if so, whether the claim has received his consideration?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAA claim has been received, but the reports obtained from the Fleet show that none of His Majesty's ships were in the vicinity of the position in which the damage occurred on the night in question.
