HC Deb 03 March 1902 vol 104 c164
Mr. C. P. SCOTT (Lancashire, Leigh)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that, in the Army Orders, South Africa, dated Army Headquarters, Pretoria, 20th January, extracts are given from the proceedings of the Military Court which tried General Scheepers, and that he is there officially described as Gideon Jacobus Scheepers, a burgher of the late Orange Free State; and will he say whether Scheepers was a burgher of the Free State, as there stated.

MR. BRODRICK

I have seen a copy of the Orders referred to. The statements made therein are accurate.
