§ MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETTasked, if the Government had any information of the terms of capitulation that had been offered to the Chief Mapoch, now beseiged by the Boers?
MR. GORSTI would ask whether Her Majesty's Government has any information which leads them to think that Mapoch will get worse terms with the Boors because of his action during the late war?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEYI really cannot answer so hypothetical a Question.
MR. GORSTI ask whether the Government has any information? Surely that is not a hypothetical Question? I will put it in this way—Whether the British Resident in the Transvaal has made any Report to Her Majesty's Government on the subject of the terms of the capitulation?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEYPerhaps the hon. and learned Member will give Notice of that Question.
