HC Deb 07 March 1889 vol 333 c1147
MR. HENRY H. FOWLER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will lay upon the Table the Papers relating to the flogging inflicted by order of the Chief Justice of the Bahamas?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. DE WORMS,) Liverpool, East Toxteth

If the right hon. Gentleman presses for the presentation of these Papers they can be given; but I should be glad if he would first consult with me, for I think that after seeing the Papers he will agree that, in view of the explanations I have already given in the House, they are not worth the expense of printing.
