§ Mr. JOHN WARDasked the Undersecretary for the Colonies whether he could state the nature of the injuries inflicted upon the natives who were illegally flogged at Naorobi, East Africa, during a riot in 1907; and whether compensation was paid to any of the injured natives by anyone concerned in the affair?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY for the COLONIES (Colonel Seely)My hon. Friend will find a statement of the injuries on page 32 of the Parliamentary Paper (Cd. 3562, 1907). There is nothing in the papers in the Colonial Office to show whether or not compensation was paid to any of the injured natives.
§ Mr. JOHN WARDHas the hon. Gentleman made inquiries as to whether any compensation was paid?
§ Colonel SEELYWe have no information on that point. I am not prepared to say whether it was or not. This all happened three years ago.
