| Abstract: | Sir Thomas Reade to the Earl of Aberdeen (Received January 15, 1844) Tunis, December 26, 1843 (extract) It becomes my painful duty to bring to your Lordship’s knowledge one of the most horrible and cold-blooded murders ever committed in this, or perhaps any other country, by a Maltese, named Paolo Xuereb, on the person of one of my dragomans, as well as on that of a Maltese who was in my services, named Savirio Galia. The atrocious nature of this case impels me the more particularly to trouble your Lordship with it, as the appeals hitherto made to the courts at Malta against individuals committing crimes in Barbary, have almost, I may say, proved unavailing, and have from apathy shewn towards them rather increased than otherwise the delinquencies which those appeals were intended to counteract.
