§ Sir ARTHUR MARKHAMasked the Postmaster-General whether any postmen have been burnt at Dundee owing to militant suffragists having placed chemicals in pillar boxes; and, if so, will he say the nature of these injuries?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI am sorry to say that five postmen in the sorting office at Dundee suffered painful injuries from flames caused by chemicals which had been placed in thin glass tubes among the correspondence in the letter-boxes. Fortunately the injuries were not serious and the men were able to resume duty after the burns had been dressed. I regret to say that slight injuries had been caused in a similar manner a few days previously to two postmen at York.
§ Sir ARTHUR MARKHAMasked the Attorney-General whether any proceedings have been taken against certain women who have during the past few days at suffrage meetings publicly incited their adherents to commit outrages?
§ Sir RUFUS ISAACSThe answer is in the negative.
