91. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he can now state the estimated cost, including counsel's fees, of the recent prosecution of Hatry and others?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The total costs of the prosecution in the cases of Rex v. Hatry and others amount to £3,729 3s. 1d. The amount received from local funds towards the costs of the prosecution, with allowances made by the Court, is £1,902 10s.

Sir F. HALL

Can the hon. Gentleman say how much of that the Attorney-General is getting?

Mr. DAY

Does the amount which the hon. Gentleman has stated include the cost of the extradition of Mr. Gialdini?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

Of both those questions I must have notice.

Sir F. HALL

Then I will give notice.
