§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary, of State for War whether he will state on what 1273 grounds he withheld the particulars of the trial of Commandant Kritzinger, having regard to the fact that particulars of the trial of Commandant Scheepers have been given to the public; and will he say whether Scheepers was tried and convicted on the same charges as the charges on which Kritzinger was tried and acquitted; and was the evidence at both trials in the main identical.
§ MR. BRODRICKI have nothing to add to the answer which I gave the hon. Member on Wednesday last.†
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLThe right hon. Gentleman has not said on what grounds he withholds the evidence in one case and publishes it in another.
§ MR. BRODRICKThere was nothing which rendered it necessary to publish the evidence in that trial more than any other.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLBut was not the evidence identical in the two cases?
