Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information as to the progress and methods of pacification in Bulgaria, in view of the responsibility resting on this country for the armaments of Bulgaria?

Mr. R. McNEILL

According to my information, some 537 persons suspected of conspiracy have been, since April last, tried by court-martial. Of these, 109 have been acquitted, 144 received sentences varying from three months' to five years' imprisonment, and 173 of six years' to 15 years'. There have been five sentences of life imprisonment and 106 death sentences. Since April only one death sentence has, I am glad to say, been confirmed.
