Lordship is disposed to think
that you decided rightly that
the present case was not one
for repatriation to England.
Before however arriving at a
de finite decision on this point
it is desirable to ascertai n
whether any relief from public
funds is called for at all in
the present case, His Lordship
therefore requests to be inform-
ed concerning the arrangements
for Wallace's maintenance which
were made in 1686 when Her Ma-
jesty's Minister at Peking was
instructed to consult with the
Crown Advocate in the matter,
as well as concerning the pre-
sent position of any relatives
of
457
of the lunatic who might be
called upon to contribute to-
wards his support.
