The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS
(Sir E. Grey)
His Majesty's Minister at Bogotá reports that the evidence was to be examined, and a decision pronounced on 14th March. The proceedings would not necessitate the defendant's presence. The Colombian Minister for Foreign Affairs promised to inform His Majesty's Minister of the decision as soon as possible.
