§ Mr. BRIGG (Yorkshire, W.R.,) BarnsleyI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if it has come to his knowledge that papers showing that the Transvaal Government had previous to the Jameson raid been preparing for war were taken away to Europe by the Boer delegates, rumour of such a disposition of papers being current in South Africa.
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. J. Chamberlain, Birmingham, W.)I have not heard the 769 rumours, and I have no the subject.
