42. Mr. EDMUND HARVEYasked how many natives were killed in the recent expedition in Northern Nigeria arising out of the murder of Mr. Campbell; and if he can give any further particulars with regard to this expedition?
Mr. HARCOURTThere was no expedition. A small force—half a company— was sent to the spot, but I have no information as to whether any, or, if so, how many natives were killed. A fine was imposed on eight villages, and I may add that a reward has been given to one village, the inhabitants of which defended Mr. Campbell's camp, some of them being killed by the tribesmen who attacked it.
