HC Deb 12 June 1902 vol 109 c496

MR. MOON

To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will state to whom, and in respect of what loss, £200 is paid for compensation allowance, in consequence of giving up the Orange River Territory in 1854.

(Answer.) I understand that the compensation allowance is paid to Percy Crause, whose office of Secretary to the Government of the Orange Liver territory was abolished when British Sovereignty was withdrawn in 1854.—(Colonial Office.)
