THE MASSACRE BY BRIGAND 3.

In reply to an Hon. Member,
Mr. OTWAT said the despatches just published had been
received in the Foreign-office cypher, and great difficulty
had been encountered in decyphering them in consequence
of, the errors they contained. The greatest care
had been taken in the matter, but he could not
say whether or not the word "or " in Mr. Erskine's
despatch to Earl Clarendon was to be read as it appeared,
" 1:25,000 or a free pardon," or whether it was a mis-
print.
