§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Supreme Court of Mauritius has annulled an order of expulsion against Thomas Wilkinson, made by Mr. Pickersgill, Vice Consul at Tananrive; and, if so, whether he will lay upon the Table any report of the proceedings in and judgment of the Supreme Court?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)I have not received any official information of the result of the action brought by Mr. Wilkinson; but from reports in the newspapers I gather that the Court gave judgment for the plaintiff with nominal damages and costs. I see no reason for putting the country to 368 the expense of printing proceedings which do not seem to me to possess any public interest.
