Member for North Leitrim, I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General whether any proceedings are in contemplation against the responsible editors of any daily papers for the publication, during the past few weeks, of unfounded news concerning the situation in Peking, thereby causing pain to the relatives of the members of the British Legation in Peking.
§ SIR ROBERT FINLAYNo case of the kind referred to in the question in which proceedings could properly be instituted has been brought to my notice
