FIFTY-SECOND DAY, JULY f'\ 1893. 



Sir CnARLES Russell. — Before my learned friend resumes his argu- 

 ment, Sir, I want to make a correction in point of fact. You Mill recol- 

 lect a discussion that occurred some days a.uo (I think it was also referred 

 to during the argument of my learned friend) about the map No. 08 in the 

 schedule of maps and described as the "Map of 18132 with additions to 

 1823", — that was stated by someone on our side originally, and I believe 

 I repeated the statement, that it came from the I>ritish Museum. Well, 

 that turns out to be inaccurate. It is a map in the ])ossession of the For- 

 eign Oftice in London and is here now, and I produce it to my learned 

 friends. It is a matter of no importance; but we wish to be correct iu 

 our statements. 



The President, — It is the Arrowsinith map? 



Sir Charles Kussell.t— Yes; it is described here as, "by Arrow- 

 smith, Hydrographer to His Majesty, 1822", and iu print underneath, 

 "Additions to 1823". There the matter ends. 



The President. — They are printed or engraved editions'? 



Sir Charles Eussell. — Yes ; printed or engraved additions. There- 

 fore, showing that though published originally in 1822, there was a second 

 edition in 1823. 



The President. — We shall be pleased to see the map. 



Sir Charles Russell. — Certainly. This is one side of it, but it is the 

 important side. You will see "Behring Sea" is not marked. 



Now, you will recollect that yesterday ray learned friend produced 

 and dwelt for some time upon a certain Table of figures, working out or 

 professing to work out certain mathematical results. You will recollect 

 that Table of figures which was handed in. I ought to tell the Tribunal 

 that my learned friends did not furnish us with copies of that document 

 beforehand; and my reason for mentioning that fact is that, if they had, 

 we should have been prepared by this time to offer certain criticisms to 

 which we think it is open. It has been examined by persons who are 

 more competent than I profess to be, because I do not, any more than my 

 learned friend, profess to be a mathematician; we conceive it is based 

 on false assumptions; but even on those assumptions, it is not worked 

 out correctly. And, therefore, we claim the right respectfully to put in 

 black and white, as my learned friends have done, a criticism on this 

 Table. The Tribunal will then judge what weight is to be attached to 

 the origiiuil document, as well as to the criticisms upon it. 



The President. — You mean the calculation. This was no new docu- 

 ment, but only a cahmlation. 



Sir Charles Russell. — And a calculation, as we say, which is 

 inaccurate. 



The President. — That is simply a matter of arithmetic. 



Senator Morgan. — And it oidy refers to matters that are iu the Case 

 and Counter Case. 



Sir Charles Russell. — We deal with the document that they have 

 handed in and point out, Sir, the errors that we conceive are to be 

 found in it.
