§ Mr. MacVEAGHasked the Chief Secretary whether compensation has yet been paid to the proprietor of the "Weekly Observer" newspaper, Newcastle West, whose office was wrecked by Crown forces a year ago; whether after the claim was made for compensation a band of Auxiliary police arrived and accused him of reporting them, after which they seriously assaulted him, looted his property, and burned his hay; and whether any of them have been put on trial?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODIf the hon. Member will repeat one day next week this question, in regard to which I am in communication with the Commander-in-Chief, I hope then to be in a position to furnish him with a reply.
