August 4.) 
: WASHINGTON, August 4, 1887. 
My Lorp: I have the honour to inform your Lordship that the judi- 
cial documents alluded to in your Lordship’s telegram of the 2nd instant 
were, at my request, forwarded to me by tue Secretary of State, for the 
information of Her Majesty’s Government, and were unaccompanied by 
any observations. 
I have reason to think that no step will be taken in the matter of the 
seizure of sealers in Behring’s Sea until the case against the captain of 
the “Corwin,” which will be tried at Boston, has been heard. 
I have, &c.
