§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Colonial Office has received any statement from Mr. Jellicoe in reference to the trial of Dinizulu; and whether any steps are being taken in consequence 673 to secure for Dinizulu every facility to prepare his defence.
§ MR. CHURCHILLYes, Sir, but I fear that I cannot add anything to the reply which I gave yesterday to my right hon. friend the Member for the Rushcliffe Division.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDAre we to understand that the Colonial Office have received the statement from Mr. Jellicoe, and if so, will an inquiry be made into the serious allegations made by him?
§ MR. CHURCHILLLord Elgin has received a communication. As to whether any special inquiry will be made I cannot say, but we are keeping ourselves well informed from Natal.
