§ MR. ASHLEYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the exact steps which have been taken to bring to justice the editor of the Cairo newspaper which recently published the false statement that seventy Soudanese, on account of the murder of Mr. Scott-Moncrieff, had been placed in chains and murdered when in prison by the British authorities n the Soudan.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI have not yet received any Report of the exact 1460 steps to be taken, but I understand that the editor will be prosecuted before the native tribunal for having contravened the penal code.
