No. 8.
Mr. Hammond to Mr. Waddington.
Foreign Office, December 12, 1863.
Sir: I am directed by Earl Russell to transmit to you herewith, to be laid before Secretary Sir George Grey, copies of papers, as marked in the margin, respecting the enlistment at Queenstown of various British subjects to serve on board the United States steam vessel-of-war the Kearsarge.
The law officers are of opinion that the men who so enlisted on board the Kearsarge should be prosecuted;under the foreign enlistment act; and Lord Russell directs me to say that he is of opinion that such prosecution should be instituted as soon as sufficient evidence is collected to sustain it.
I am, &c.,
E. HAMMOND.
