MR. GORSTasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Chief Inspector of Revenue in Cyprus has resigned his office; and, whether Her Majesty's Government will withhold their acceptance of his resignation until further inquiry into the recent revenue frauds has taken place?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEYI am not able to answer the first part of the Question; but as to the second, which is really the most important, I am able to reply that the day before yesterday we telegraphed to the Governor that should there be any question of resignation he should refuse to accept it until he receives further instructions.
