§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the reports in the papers of the adoption by the Upper Chamber of the Cape Parliament of a Resolution calling upon the Government of the Colony to approach the Imperial Government to ask them to extend to the Irish treason-felony prisoners similar clemency to that extended by President Kruger to the Reform Leaders; whether he is aware that this 530 Resolution was supported by the Attorney General on behalf of the Cape Government, and adopted unanimously; and, whether Her Majesty's Government have as yet received any representations of the nature indicated from the Cape Government?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.I have not yet received any official information on the subject to which the Question relates.
