Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 4, 1882

No. 31.
Mr. Lowell to Earl Granville.

Legation of the United States,
London, March 28, 1882. (Received March 28.)

My Lord: Referring to my note of yesterday, I have the honor to acquaint you that I have received this morning an additional telegram from Mr. Frelinghuysen, requesting me to inform your lordship that the British subject Lane, on whose behalf Mr. West intervened on the 24th instant, asking for a speedy trial, is now being tried. It appears that all the delays and continuances in this case have been made on the motion of Lane’s counsel.

I have, &c.,

J. R. LOWELL.
