Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is making any representations to the Spanish Government concerning the sentence of six months' imprisonment upon Captain Kane?

Sir S. HOARE

I am in consultation with His Majesty's Ambassador as to whether any further legal remedy is open to Captain Kane or whether an application could be made for a free pardon by the President of the Spanish Republic. I am not at present in a position to make any further statement, but the position will be kept under the closest review.
