HC Deb 09 August 1901 vol 99 c273
MR. JOYCE (Limerick)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of twenty-eight men of the 1st Battalion Munster Fusiliers, who have been sentenced to seven years penal servitude after landing at Southampton from Africa; and can he state what was the offence committed by those men to call for such a sentence.

LORD STANLEY

No information has reached the War Office of any such court-martial sentence.
