Mr. NEWDEGATEasked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he has any further information to give respecting British subjects imprisoned in the Conga State?
§ Sir E. GREYThe Acting Vice-Consul at Elisabethville states that one British subject was imprisoned from 22nd May to 19th June last, when he was released on bail. He has now been sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, but is at present at liberty pending the result of an appeal. Another British subject was imprisoned before being sentenced as there was some reason to expect his flight from the country. This man has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
