HC Deb 24 March 1884 vol 286 c614
MR. HEALY

asked, What are the terms of the counter-Proclamation, withdrawing the reward of £1,000 offered for the body of Osman Digna, dead or alive; and, if the Government can give any assurance that Copies of the Document have been circulated as widely as the original offer of a reward?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Sir, the terms of the counter-Proclamation were as follows:— I hereby give notice that the reward of 5,000 dollars for the rebel, Osman Digna, is withdrawn; and that, in future, no money reward will be offered for him. With regard to the latter part of the Question, I have no information as to the manner in which either the original or counter-Proclamation was circulated.

MR. HEALY

With regard to the term "no money reward," I wish to ask the noble Marquess whether there is any other description of reward to be given?
