HC Deb 28 July 1890 vol 347 c1071
SIR W. LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary for India as to statements which appear in the newspapers this morning, that a certain dacoit taken in Burma had been promised that if he surrendered he would not be executed, but, notwithstanding that promise, he is now to be executed by the authorities. Is there any truth in the statement?

SIR J. GORST

I must ask for notice of the question.

SIR W. LAWSON

I hope the right hon. Gentleman will promptly inquire into it.
