Mr. Elliot to Mr. Hammond.
Downing Street, September 14, 1865. (Received Sept. 15.)
No. 27.]
Sir: I am directed by Mr. Secretary Cardwell to transmit to you, for the consideration of Earl Russell, the inclosed copy of a letter from Mr. Robert Burley, soliciting the interference of Her Majesty’s government on behalf of his son, Bennet G. Burley, who was concerned in the outrage on board the Philo Parsons, and handed over, under the extradition treaty, by the Canadian government to the United States.
Mr. Cardwell proposes, if his lordship concurs, to inform Mr. Burley that his son’s case is one in which this department cannot interfere.
I am, &c.,
T. FRED’K ELLIOT.
