Abstract:
We requested Mr. Bagenal, one of our body, to make enquiries as to what impediments to the trade between The United Kingdom and America exist in the port of Dublin; and he wrote to the United States consul. The answer, in effect, was that the chief complaints were a lack of power to act on the side of the local authorities as well as on the side of the consul; that the United States and the United Kingdom have no treaty regarding sailors; that police aid to recover deserters is extended sometimes, and that by courtesy only. The
consul's note ended with a suggestion that a reciprocal convention between the two countries would arrange matters satisfactorily.
