Sentence ques
A
Crew of Franklyn
Mr. Nanuetti-To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether he is aware that the crew of the British steamer "Franklyn" were convicted by the marine magistrate at Hong Kong in the early part of this year and sentenced to ten weeks' imprisonment for refusing to proceed in the "Franklyn" on the grounds of the vessel being loaded with contraband of war; that the men, on receiving the sentence, were handcuffed together and marched through the streets of Hong Kong, whilst Chinamen followed them and jeered at them; that the men, on receiving the sentence, demauded an appeal to the Superior Court of Hong Kong; and whether, seeing that the marine magistrate refused to allow them to appeal and refused to allow the men to have legal aid, any steps will be taken to remove the marine magistrate. [Monday 31st July.]
