§ 1. Mr. STAVELEY-HILLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether William Macdonald, who was employed at a cotton factory of Messrs. Graham Brothers, near Lisbon, was recently killed by a Portuguese fellow-work man; whether this man has been brought to justice; and, if so, what sentence has been passed upon him, and upon what charge?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. Grey)I have this morning received a dispatch from His Majesty's Minister at Lisbon reporting that he has drawn the attention of the Portuguese authorities to the murder of a Scottish foreman in a mill near Lisbon, which is presumably the case referred to by the hon. Member. His Majesty's Minister received an assurance that proper justice will be done, and I am in communication with him with regard to the case.
