The Marquis of Salisbury to Mr. Hoppin.

Foreign Office, December 23, 1879.

Sir: With reference to my note of the 23d of July last, relative to the mode of payment of certain small claims arising in connection with cases of extradition, I have the honor to state to you that having now received replies from various governments to which I had addressed a similar communication, it appears that a considerable divergence of opinion exists as to the most convenient mode of effecting such payments.

Under the circumstances it appears to me that it will be most expedient to adhere to the plan hitherto pursued in this respect, namely, that each claim arising on a case of extradition should be preferred separately, and I have, therefore, the honor to request you to invite your government to accede to such an arrangement.

I have, &c.,

SALISBURY.
