§ MR. JOHN ELLISI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the number of persons now in gaol in Cape Colony who have been arrested under martial law but have not yet had any charge preferred against them or been brought to trial; and whether he can say how many persons have been removed for military reasons from their homes, and, without any actual charge being preferred against them, have been transported to a distance and there been placed under surveillance.
§ MR. BRODRICKThere are no persons incarcerated in Cape Colony against whom a definite charge has not been formulated. I do not know the number of those deported under surveillance, but these persons are being released.
