§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, If 176 he can state the number of British subjects murdered since the 1st of January 1880, including the officers and crews of the "Ripple," "Esperanza," "Lolia," "Mystery," "Borealis," "Dauntless," "Annie Brooks," and H.M.S. "Sand-fly," in the Pacific, and how many of the murderers have been tried at Levuka or elsewhere?
§ Ma. GRANT DUFFI fear it is but too true that not a few British subjects have recently been murdered by savages in the Pacific; and if the right hon. and gallant Admiral will repeat his Question some day next week—perhaps on Thursday—I will endeavour to get full particulars for him.
