§ MR. O'DONNELLasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he will inquire whether Ismail Sadyk Pacha, Egyptian Finance Minister, who was sentenced to banishment to the White Nile, during the Joubert-Goschen Mission, still survives; and, if not, if he will inquire whether any agents of the British Government procured his condemnation?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEIt is notorious Sir, that Ismail Pasha Sadyk, generally known as the "Moufettish," was arrested by order of Ismail Pasha, the late Khedive, and banished to the Soudan at the date mentioned; and that his death was officially reported. There is no foundation whatever for the suggestion that any Agents of the British Government procured his condemnation.
