Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Olney.

British Embassy,
Washington, October 25, 1895.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of Mr. Uhl’s note, No. 228, of the 22d instant, in which he informs me that the commanding officer of the revenue steamer Corwin has been directed to proceed, with his command, to Victoria, British Columbia, and report to Rear-Admiral Stephenson or the senior naval officer at that station, for the purpose of giving testimony in regard to the trial of the British sealing schooner Shelby.

I have taken steps to obtain early information as to the date which will be fixed upon for the trial of the Beatrice, and I will not fail to communicate further with you in regard to this subject.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
