A Case For Investigation


Mr. NATHAN, a British subject; aged nineteen years, has been in prison
at Milan ever since April last, upon no charge except he was found travelling
from Lugano, where his mother resides, and where MAZZINI was staying at the
time; and also that upon the journey he was in company with a young man who
was out with GARIBALDI in the campaign of 1866.

Upon these grounds, and no other, it is said, Mr. NATHAN has been all
the past six months immured in an Italian Gaol, without trial, or even a
statement of his offence. At the close of the last session a question was asked
upon the subject by Mr. TAYLOR, the member for Leicester, and the reply was, that
the English Government had made application to the Government of Italy to
have the prisoner released on bail. Nothing however has come of that
intervention; the young British subject remains incarcerated, and it is due to
the public
feeling of this country, even more than to the distressed family of the lad,
that the failure should be generally known.
