HC Deb 21 October 1912 vol 42 c1708
70. Sir H. CARLILE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can give any details respecting the recent murder of Mr. William Walter Allen, a native of St. Albans, upon the veldt in. Rhodesia; and whether the money and effects of the murdered man have been secured, and are now held at the disposal of his relatives?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)

No, Sir, 1 have no information on the subject beyond what has appeared in the Press. I presume, if there are relatives in this country who are interested, that they have applied to the British South Africa Company here or to the local administration.
