§ MR. SCHWANNI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to a telegram from Athens of Monday last, 28th April, which appeared in the Daily News of the 29th April, to the following effect:—
On the 24th and 26th instant two Christians were killed at Casneliani and Chara, in the district of Monofasti. The murder at Chara is ascertained to have been committed by Turks;1825 and if he will ascertain the truth of the truth of these detailed allegations, and, in case they prove to be true, take all possible steps in his power to cause the guilty parties to be brought to justice and punished for their crimes?
§ *SIR J. FERGUSSONThese particular crimes have not yet been reported to the Foreign Office; but murders of both Christians and Mussulmans are, unfortunately, of common occurrence. Her Majesty's Consul has standing orders to exert himself in the interests of justice.
