My Lord,—Having applied to her Majesty's Minister at
the Court of Turin to waist and protect my son, Charles
Park, junior, mond =emir onboard of the Sardinian
steamer Cagliari, who is now detained in prison by the
Neapolitan authorities, I have been advised by Sir James
Hudson to address myself to your lordship, as he has no
mama of communicating with the Neapolitan government.
It is scarcely necessary that I should assure your lordship
that my son and his companion Henry Watt, who was acting
as chief engineer provisionally, has taken no part ro-
have led to t,ke seisms of the on
itedelatilch Amer my eon had been employed
be
months in the capacity of second engineer; md I beg to
aware your lordship that under the present circumstances
much anxiety prevails with his parents and in the circle of
his family, being convinced that he and his fellow companion
_
stand entirely guiltless in this unfortunate affair. I trust,
therefore, that your lordship will have the gaminess to in-
Mrset her Majesty's consul atNlas to watch over the in-
terests of my eon and his companion, Henry Welt, and to do
that may be possib to pronve their early Share-
etallatiffn the meantime to ses that they may be humanely
treated while under the present imprisonment. —I am, ito.,
