§ MR. O'KELLYasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether his attention has been called to the statement made by the correspondent of the "Times" at Alexandria, that "perfectly respectable inhabitants have lodged complaints that they have been robbed and their houses pillaged by English soldiers;" and, whether he will take measures to secure the prompt punishment of soldiers guilty of acts of violence or pillage?
§ MR. CHILDERSThe hon. Member does not state in what issue of The Times the assertion which he quotes was made, so I have not verified it; but Sir Beau-champ Seymour and Sir Archibald Alison have ample powers to repress and punish acts of violence and pillage.
