§ MR. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government will represent to the Sultan the injury done to the Armenian archbishop and bishops, who are forcibly detained in the monastery of St. James at Jerusalem without trial, and without knowing for what offences they have been exiled from their dioceses: And, whether, seeing that those prelates are men of high character, the Secretary of State will communicate on the subject with the Powers which arc parties to Articles 61 and 62 of the Berlin Treaty.
*THE UNDER - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (MR. ST. JOHN BRODRICK (Surrey, Guildford)Inquiries are being made as to the position of these prelates, and I am afraid I cannot at present make any statement with regard to them.
