§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHI wish to ask the Prime Minister, If he is in a position to state who has been appointed Special Commissioner to the Transvaal; and whether he is able to lay the instructions and also the despatches referring to the matter on the Table of the House?
MR. GLADSTONEOwing to circumstances which have occurred since I last answered a Question on this subject, and which I will explain in a day or two, I am not able to give the answer which I fully hoped to be able to give to-day. On Monday I hope to be able to give an explanation to the right hon. Gentleman.
