HC Deb 16 June 1902 vol 109 cc694-5
MR. DELANY (Queen's Co., Ossory)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the names and professions of the jurors who acted at the inquest on the late Charles Vernon Freer, who died from an overdose of chloroform administered for the purpose of extracting teeth at the General Hospital, Kimberley, on the 12th April last; and what evidence was produced at the inquest other than that of the medical men engaged at the fatal operation.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (for Mr. BRODRICK)

My right hon. friend has no information on the matters referred to in the Question.

MR. DELANY

Was it a jury of Kaffirs?

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order! The hon. Gentleman has said he has no information.

MR. DELANY

Will the hon. Gentleman inquire?

MR. SPEAKER

I have told the hon. Member the Question has been answered. It is out of order to ask further questions on it.
