Lowell failed to obtain from the British Gov
ernment any information beyond that con-
tanned in the warrant of arrest, but was as
sured by Lord Granville that McSweenys
conduct brought him under the Coercion Act,
and he could not be released. Harris reputa-

arbitrary imprisonments, but to press for
early trials of the various American "su5-
pects," Lowell states that her Majesty Gov
ernment has promised to give the matter i'm
mediate attention.
