§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEI wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman the Home Secretary, Whether he can give to the House any information with regard to the suspicious discovery of explosive materials at the Mansion House?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTSir, I have received a report that an abominable attempt was made last night to commit an outrage by an explosion of gunpowder at the Mansion House. The matter is now, I need hardly say, undergoing careful investigation; but I do not think it desirable that I should give further details at present.
