§ MR. FENWICK (Northumberland, Wansbeck)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether all British and Colonial soldiers undergoing sentences in the Cape Colony for offences arising out of the late war were liberated when the rebels and all persons imprisoned for acts in connection with hostilities in South Africa were discharged from custody.
781 (Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) No information is available to enable a reply to be given to the Question. The two classes of offences are, however, quite distinct, and have no connection with each other.
