§ DR. TANNER (Cork, Mid.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary what has become of Captain Segrave, the hero of Mitchelstown, who has been absent from iris duties ever since I brought his con- 1814 duct before the consideration of the House?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURCaptain Segrave has been on leave, and he will not be called upon to perform his magisterial duties again until we have received information from the Cape on the point raised by the hon. Member.
§ DR. TANNERCould not a wire be sent to the Cape to find if Captain Segrave was not dismissed from his post there?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURDocuments cannot be transferred by wire, and it would not be fair to Captain Segrave to take any final action without such documents.
MR. MAC NEILLI have before called attention to the fact that these documents can be found at No. 25, Victoria Street, Westminster, the office of the Agent-General for Cape Colony in London.
§ DR. TANNERI wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the columns of the Cape Gazette will be placed at my disposal in order that I may point out to the Chief Secretary the date of Captain Segrave's dismissal?
§ BARON H. DE WORMSPerhaps the hon. Gentleman will give notice of his Question.
