HC Deb 02 July 1903 vol 124 cc1184-5
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will request the administrator of the affairs of the late James McGowan, of the Lendy estate, in Rhodesia, to forward the amount received to the mother of the deceased, who lives at Longford.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

The hon. Member is aware that according to a despatch dated 30th April instructions have been given locally that any sum shown to the credit of the estate should be remitted to the heirs, and I will enquire as to the cause of the delay.

MR. FARRELL

I acknowledge the right hon. Gentleman's kindness in the matter. I hope there will be no unnecessary delay, as the woman is in a very delicate condition.

MR. J. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, I will endeavour to hurry it up.
