§ SIR BRAMPTON GURDON (Norfolk, N.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether Mr. John Douglas Forster has been appointed legal adviser to the Military Governor of the Transvaal; whether this is the same person 21 who was recently, under the stage name I of Adolphus Ellis, manager of a theatrical company in the Transvaal; and what experience of the law he possesses for the important post for which he has been selected.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMNothing is known on this subject at the War Office; but the Secretary of State for the Colonies informs mo that Mr. Forster held this post as a temporary arrangement until the appointment of a legal adviser to Lord Roberts, which has now been made.
