Purchase of Remounts in Ireland— Action against Major Stoddert.

HC Deb 10 March 1902 vol 104 cc870-1

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the reason for the delay in bringing to trial the action of the War Office v. Major Stoddert and others, instituted in Ireland, in reference to the alleged frauds of the defendants, as agents for the War Office, in the purchase of remounts for the War in South Africa.

MR. BRODRICK

Will the hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a Question put on the 6th February by my right hon. friend the Member for the Sleaford Division of Lincolnshire?†
