§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to a telegram in the Manchester Guardian of the 22nd instant, from its own correspondent in Athens, dated 21st instant, to the following effect:—
I learn that a party of soldiers carried off Marie Damanaki, aged 15, from Pantavasso to 1525 Aghia Parvara, where she was outraged by the officer commanding the regular troops;and, if not, will he ascertain whether this detailed statement be true, and, in case of its proving accurate, will he take steps to procure punishment of the guilty parties?
