64. Mr. MONTAGUE BARLOWasked the Secretary for the Colonies whether he has yet received any Report from the Governor with regard to the case of William Jackson, who was convicted for manslaughter of a Kroo boy on board the s.s. "Ethiope," under circumstances of great provocation; and, if so, whether he can inform the House as to the nature of the Report and what steps he proposes to take upon it?
Mr. HARCOURTNo, Sir. I do not expect that information as to the Governor's decision will reach me for some weeks yet. As I informed the hon. Member on 30th October, as soon as I learn what the Governor has decided I will communicate it to the House or give the hon. Member an opportunity of asking ms a question on the subject.
