View of Tamatave, Madagascar, 1883. 'The awkward question that has arisen between the French and English Governments in consequence of the arrest of Mr. Shaw at Tamatave, and his detention by the bellicose Admiral Pierre on board a French vessel of war pending his trial on the charge of conspiring with the enemy against the French troops, has naturally led to the catechising of the Government on this point by Sir Stafford Northcote. Beyond explaining that the Government had every confidence Mr. Shaw would have a fair trial, Mr. Gladstone could not be induced by the most ingeniously-worded interrogations to cast a single reflection on the conduct of the French authorities. He knew he was treading on delicate ground, and walked with diplomatic caution, content, perhaps, with the knowledge that the undoubted feeling of anxiety betrayed by the House in the matter would not be disregarded by M. Waddington, the French Ambassador. This Tamatave incident of the Malagasy war cropped up again on Tuesday in the comprehensive review Sir Stafford Northcote indulged in when the Appropriation Bill came up'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
