§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEI should like to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Prime Minister whether Her Majesty's Government have received any information with reference to the signing of the Convention with the Boers; and, if so, whether he is in a position to give the House any information on the subject?
MR. GLADSTONENo information in reference to the subject has reached me; and, therefore, I presume that none can have arrived.
