§ MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSENwished to ask the Home Secretary a Question of which he had given him private Notice. It was, Whether the Government were in possession of information more detailed than that which had appeared in the newspapers in reference to the terrible murder in Kent; and also whether, considering the circumstances of the case, the Government had any intention of offering a reward for the discovery of the murderer?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, he had no information at all on the subject, but he expected to be in possession of some to-morrow. If it should appear desirable to offer a reward, he should do so; but, as his right hon. Friend knew, rewards were not offered by the Home Office until a verdict had been returned by the Coroner's Jury.
