HC Deb 07 February 1861 vol 161 cc142-3
MR. WYLD

asked the right hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for India, if he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of any Despatch or Despatches which may have been sent to the Government of India during the year 1860, by which any sum of money has been ordered to be paid or secured to any of the descendents of the late Tippoo Sultan; and, of any Document or Documents showing the grounds on which such Order had been made?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

said, that as an hon. Member opposite had given notice of a similar but more comprehensive question upon this subject for to-morrow, he would postpone any observations which he might wish to make till that day, when he should have an opportunity of making a more detailed statement upon the subject, but he was quite ready to give the papers for which the hon. Gentleman asked.
