§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in accordance with the promise he gave on the 10th of June last in reply to a question addressed him as to crime in Cyprus, he has made inquiries with regard to the murder of an advocate, named Michaelides, at Kyrenia, in February last, and to the case of poisoning of Aghissilaos Artemis, another advocate; whether he is aware that these two crimes attracted great public attention in the Island; whether, in respect of the first case, any and what persons were suspected of having an interest in the death of Michaelides; whether he is aware that it is a matter of notoriety in the Island that he had incurred the displeasure of certain persons shortly before he was murdered; whether it is known in whose company he was before the murder; whether anyone has been apprehended for the same, and, if not, what steps have been taken to trace the perpetrator of the crime referred to; with regard to the case of poisoning, has any report been obtained from the district medical officer as to whether he considered that Mr. Artemis was poisoned; whether he treated him as having been poisoned; whether he made any chemical examination of the vomit, and, if not, what prevented him from doing so; whether any person was suspected of this poisoning; and, whether, although the district medical officer directed that the vomit should be kept, it was thrown away, and, if so, by whom and by whose direction was that done?
