§ SIR GEORGE BOWYERasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether the Government will grant protection to certain religious women who are refugees here from Duderstadt in Hanover, their convent having been suppressed and the property confiscated by the German Government?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE-QUER,in reply, said, that he had conferred with his noble Friend (the Earl of Derby) on the matter, of which he had no knowledge of his own, and he could say that the case of those persons, in the shape in which it stood at present, was one entirely for the Law Courts and not for the Foreign Office.
