§ MR. EDWIN JAMESsaid, he rose to ask the noble Lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have received any information of the liberation from confinement of five Englishmen, followers of Garibaldi, who had been sentenced to two years' imprisonment for stealing some fowls, by the Neapolitan Government, after they had been pardoned by Garibaldi himself.
§ LORD JOHN RUSSELLsaid, the men had not been imprisoned for two years. [Mr. EDWIN JAMES: But they were sentenced.] They were sentenced to two years' imprisonment. He had inquired and found that they had been sentenced for pillaging and plundering. He was informed that all the five had been liberated, and that four of them had left Naples.
