HC Deb 24 June 1897 vol 50 cc510-1
MR. MICHAEL DAVITT (Mayo, S.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it was true that President Kruger had released the two prisoners Davies and Wolff in honour of the Diamond Jubilee?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

I received some time ago confidential information from Pretoria that it was the intention of President Kruger to release Messrs. Davies and Wolff on the occasion of Her Majesty's Jubilee, and I am glad to say he has carried out that intention. [Cheers.]
