§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the leading residents at Dordrecht, in the Middleburg district, were ordered recently to attend the execution of a prisoner in that place, and, if so, whether he can state the reason for this proceeding.
§ MR. BRODRICKI have received the following telegram from General Kitchener—
General French reports some twenty disloyal Dutch were ordered to attend. Deval also ordered as being Under-Sheriff. Execution took place in prison yard, which is altogether hidden from public view by high walls. Dutch Reformed Church minister was with prisoner on the scaffold, and for two days previously.
