ment?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
British Engineers Park and Watt were released uncon-
ditionally—(hear)—but compensation had not as yet been
made on their behalf. With regard to the second part
of the question, he had to inform the house the Sardi-
nian subjects who formed part of the crew of the Cag-
liari were still detained by the Neapolitan Government.
Mr. ROEBUCK asked if compensation had been re-
fused by the Neapolitan Government 4 (Cheers.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was inconvenient for hon. members to ask such ques-
tions without previous notice. (Cheers.) Compensation
or indemnity was not to be settled off hand; but her M-
ajesty's Government believed that the compensation they
haddemanded for the British engineers was a just claim,
and that they would succeed in getting it. (Cheers-)
Mr. ROEBUCK said his question was involved in
the first question, which the right hon. gentleman did
not answer. He therefore bad had notice of it. (Hear.)
