§ Sir C. NapierI wish to ask a question connected with the affairs of Syria. I have received a letter informing me that those persons who had their houses burned and property destroyed by our operations in Syria, have not received a single shilling in the way of compensation. I beg to ask whether Emir Beschir has received compensation for his losses?
§ Sir R. PeelIf the hon. and gallant officer had given me notice of his question. 201 I would have made inquiry on the subject. I will do so now, and give an answer on a future evening.
