In the House Of Commons on April 20, Mr. Cock
burn asked the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs
In reference TO the of the steward OF the Brit
ish bark Mary Anne, who had been seized and I'M
prisoned by the authorities OF Charleston, Tor no
specifed Ctfense but that he was a man OF color,
whether the noble Lord had used any endeavos
with the Government OF the United States TO pre-
vent British subjects from having their liberty 10
yaded and persons incarcerated by so scandaous
violation Of the principles that should regulate the
intercourse Of civilized nations.
Lord Palmerston regretted that the subject To
which the honorable and learned member had
drawn the attention of the House was by no means
new To the Government Ii was TACT that there
existed a law in Carolina and LOUISIANA by wnlch
free men of color whether foreigners or ctzens Oh
some other State OF the Union, were SUBJECT 10
,.onr;sonment with a view to their ultimate re-
mova from the Territories of these States. 1t was
unnecessary for him 10 express the opinion Wnlcn
every member who heard him must entertain win
,esnsct to snch a law. In 1917, her Maiestys Gov
eminent caused note 10 be presented 10 toe
Government OF the United States, remonsua'n5
against the law as not only inconsistent with the
established polty OF nations but at variance wltn
norton of the first articles OF the treaty oil $50

under which all subjects and citizens OF tne TWO
countries were To DO permitted freely 10 enter
freely to reside in and freely to quit the Ierreores
-. Mr. nCh
,ar0 of State for Foreign Affairs OF the United
states gave verbal answer, 70 the effect that the
Federal Government had no power TO induce the
LEGISLATURE of the State Of Carolina to revoke the
taw and that If the British Government insisted
ON its right, the Government OF the United States
would find the question impossible to deal with
that il would be obliged, however reluctantly TO
take advantage Of the stipulation contained Ia the
treaty OF 1927 and put end 10 the treaty oil 1910
upon giving twelve months' notice. 1t did not ap-
rear TO her Majestys Government That any con-
rnensurate advantages would, under such crcum-
stances, result from further pressing the matter.

operative and protested loudly against the contin
oed interference of the bishops with the temporal
and financial affairs Of the Church, both unsuited

vout admirers Of the Episcopal Bench, by institu-
ting spirited contrast between the character a
bishop should sustain in accordance with the
genius Of Christianity, and that borne by the pres
ent race OF Fathers in God, busily engrossed
with worldly affairs, vigilant OF Church means,
stubbornly tenacious of Church rank and Eplsco-
pal emoluments--nut visiting the sick, not con-
song the dying, not preaching the Word, not dis
