§ 50. Sir J. D. REESasked the Postmaster-General what was the result of the trial of Focktenberger, or Falconer, for being in possession of wireless telegraphic apparatus, he being an employé of Messrs. Siemens and an unregistered alien?
§ Captain NORTONI understand that a trial by court-martial is being held.
§ Sir J. D. REESMay I ask the hon. Gentleman whether he is not aware of that fact for a certainty, and whether this prosecution is being instituted and carried on by the Government?
§ Captain NORTONI have stated that a trial by court-martial is being held.
§ Sir J. D. REESMay I ask if the hon. Gentleman did not say "I understand"?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Gentleman is really taking a pedantic objection to the form of the answer. Unless the hon. Gentleman was on the court-martial himself, he would have to rely on the information supplied to him.
