MR. HUMPHREYS-OWEN
(Montgomeryshire)
I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can state when the trial of Mr. Albert Cartwright, editor of the South African Daily News, on a charge of seditious libel will take place; and whether he is to be tried by the Special Treason Court constituted by the recent Act of the Cape Colony Parliament, or under the ordinary law.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES
(Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN, Birmingham, W.)
The only information I possess on this subject is that the preparatory examination took place in the Cape Town Police Court, but I have telegraphed to inquire.
