§ SIR WILFRID LAWSONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether there is any truth in the statement contained in the "Daily News" of October 25th, that
Two Members of the National Chamber, accused of having furnished Arabi with voluntary contributions are now chained together in an underground dungeon, which has only been opened thrice in the last fifteen days. The condition of the prisoners and of the den is foul beyond description. There are scores of such instances illustrative of the cowardly and ferocious character of the attempts to crush the national movement?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKESir, the attention of Her Majesty's Government was called to the statement to which my 172 hon. Friend refers, and Sir Edward Malet has been instructed by telegraph to report immediately on the subject.
