§ MR. PARNELLwished to repeat the Question he had put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as to the Instructions given to Sir Garnet Wolseley. The right hon. Gentleman declined to answer the Question on the plea that the Instruc- 1563 tions, if communicated to the House, might, by being telegraphed to Madeira, reach the Cape before the officer who was to carry them into effect. But as there was no telegraph from Madeira, he wished to know, Whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer would state what the Instructions were after Sir Garnet Wolseley had left Madeira for the Cape?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERSir, I shall be obliged if the hon. Member will give Notice of the Question.
