§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he can now give information respecting the salvage of steamships "Kaprino," "O. B. Jennings," "Manhattan," and "Huns-brook"?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe position is as follows: The case of the "Kaprino" is still under consideration. The "O B. Jennings" was not Government owned or chartered; she was privately owned, and the Government did not accept liability. A claim will be made on behalf of the Crown. The "Huns brook" was a prize vessel. A claim will be made against that part of the private cargo which was not insured under the Government scheme. The "Manhattan" was privately owned but Government chartered. The Government accepted liability, but a claim will be made against that part of the private cargo which was not insured under the Government scheme.
