Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Proceedings of the Tribunal of Arbitration Convened at Paris, 1893: Parts Vi-VII; 31st May-8th June
Sir Richard Webster. Mr President, if I were to obey the dictates of my own inclination, I should state at once frankly to the Court that it was not in my power to assist them by fresh or additional observations in following, or attempting to follow, the argument that has been addressed to you by my learned friend, the Attorney General. I say it without the slightest Shadow of reservation; I am not aware of a single point that has not been touched, or of a single ground that has not been urged, or of any substantial principle upon which the United States' Case is based, which my learned friend has not attempted to attack and grapple with.
And yet, Mr President, in all probability, I should not be altogether fulfilling my duty if I were to remain absolutely silent in connection with this discussion before this Tribunal. Having been chiefly responsible for the framing of the original Case, there are certain points upon which, in all probability, those who instruct me would think it right thati should endeavour, even at the risk of some repetition, to put forward before the Tribunal a summary of the argument which my honourable and learned friend, the Attorney General, has so admirably presented to you.
