HC Deb 02 December 1882 vol 275 cc526-7
MR. CALLAN

gave Notice that on the first day of next Session he should ask a Question, which, perhaps, the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs might answer at once. It was, Whether his attention bad been called to a statement in the "Contemporary Review" of last month, to the effect that Mr. Roussell had recorded his opinion that the Kurbash was a necessary instrument of government in dealing with a Native population; and whether the Government had in consequence intimated to Mr. Roussell their disapproval of his conduct? The hon. Member also took occasion to complain of the manner in which the Clerks of the House had dealt with the Notice of a Question which he had given on Friday, and which Mr. Speaker bad declared to be in Order.

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, he had not seen the article referred to in The Contemporary Review.
