§ SIR. ANDREW SCOBLE (Hackney, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that Sultan Muhammad, described as an Afghan General, and a near relative of the Amir of Afghanistan, resident in England, has been recognised as the official representative of the Ameer; and whether there is any truth in the statement?
§ LORD G. HAMILTONThere is no representative or relative of his Highness the Ameer in this country. The gentleman referred to is a British subject, who was once in the Ameer's service, but is not known to have held any office in the Ameer's army.
