§ MR. KINNAIRDsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for India, Whether any and what steps had boon taken by the Government of India for bringing the subject of the repeal of the Regulation XIX. of 1810 of the Bengal Code, and the Regulation VII. of 1817 of the Madras Code, under the consideration of the Legislative Council of India as directed by the Despatch of Lord Stanley, dated the 24th day of February, 1859? He also wished to know whether there would be any objection to the production of the Correspondence which has taken place between the Cultivators of Indigo and the Government in relation to the recent disturbances in Bengal?
§ SIR CHARLES WOOD, in reply to the first question of the hon. Member said, he observed that Notice of the Motion had been given for the production of the papers relating to the subject of the repeal of the XIX. Regulation of the Bengal Code, to which he had no objection, and they would give all the information on the subject.
In answer to the last question, he could only say he should have no objection to produce the Correspondence if he were in possession of it, but at present only a portion had reached him.
