§ MR. F. S. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any information has been received at the Foreign Office relating to tortures inflicted on Armenian prisoners at Cæsarea; and whether he is able to make any statement on the subject?
§ * SIR E. GREYThe alleged acts of torture are said to have taken place in January last. Her Majesty's Charge d' Affaires at Constantinople has been instructed to mention to the Porte the unofficial statements which have reached the Embassy; but without further confirmation of their accuracy I should not feel justified in giving any particulars of them.
