HC Deb 27 January 1913 vol 47 cc990-1
85. Mr. MOLTENO

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the two men, Hall, and Taylor, who were publicly flogged at Zaria, Nigeria, for playing foot- ball in the market place, have been dismissed from the Government service; and, if so, whether he will state the grounds of their dismissal?

Mr. HARCOURT

I understand that at the time they committed the offence one of these men was under notice to leave and the other was under suspension, but I have no further information.
