§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether Major General Baden- 400 Powell ordered hats for his constabulary at a cost of £1 each; whether the whole consignment was captured by the Boers; and, if so, whether the cost of these hats is to be charged on the Imperial Exchequer.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINI have no information as to these hats.
