§ ADMIRAL FIELD (Sussex, Eastbourne)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign. Affairs, Whether he had seen the report in the newspapers stating that a merchant seaman had been deliberately shot dead by a Spanish sentry on the quay at the Port of Bilbao; and, whether he would inquire into the matter and demand satisfaction for the outrage and compensation for the poor man's family?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.), in reply, said, undoubtedly such an occurrence would receive inquiry. A Report would be obtained. Of course, it would be quite premature to say what would be done until the result of the inquiry was made known.
