ORAL ARGUMENT OF SIR CHARLES RUSSELL, Q. C. M. P. 119 



trators, so that they can see at a glance the important part — I consider 

 it is important — that these interpolated passages bear in the argument, 

 and how bare it stands of authority if these interpohxted j^assages are 

 excluded. 



Lord Hannen. — That is what you are going to show next? 



Sir Charles Russell. — Yes. 



Lord Hannen. — Taking out the interpolated passages there does not 

 remain the foundation for the claim of a derivative title from Russia? 



Sir Charles Russell. — Tbat is it. 



Mr. Justice Harlan. — So much of the case as rested on those docu- 

 ments that contain the interpolations, has been formally withdrawn by 

 the United States? 



Sir Charles Russell. — Oh, that goes without saying, of course. 



Mr. Justice Harlan. — I understood you to say otherwise; that is the 

 reason I interposed. Somebody said the Case had not been modified by 

 reason of that. I simply respond to that. 



Sir Charles Russell. — My friend merely meant that from the 

 physical Case the passages had not been excised. 



Sir. Phelps. — The Case is re-stated in the Counter Case. 



Sir Charles Russell. — Yes. 



The Tribunal here adjourned until Tuesday, May 16, 1893, at 11.30 

 o'clock A. M.
