§ MR. PICTON (Leicester)I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information with reference to a statement in the Daily News that an English girl has been captured by Turkish Kurds in Persia, and is now kept in a house surrounded by 100 armed men to prevent access to her?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONI did not happen to see the Daily News to-day, but I know that there was an English girl captured by Kurds on the frontiers of Persia, and stops have been taken to obtain her release.
