HC Deb 28 February 1879 vol 243 c1974
THE MABQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Colonies will be able to state to the House, Whether the Government have received any further telegrams from Madeira in addition to that which has been published as having been addressed to the War Office?

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH

Sir, the only further telegram I have received is one from Sir Henry Bulwer, giving the names of officers and men of the Colonial and European Forces ascertained to have been killed at Isandula. It contains 58 names. The only commissioned officers named in it are Lieutenant Scott, Quartermaster London, Quartermaster-Sergeant Bullock, Captain Wrottlesly, Captain Bradstreet, and Quartermaster Hitchcock, of the Newcastle Mounted Rifles. I will take care that the full list shall at once be published in the newspapers.
