§ CAPTAIN CLIVEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, Whether any steps are being taken to accelerate the distribution of the second instalment of Delhi Prize Money to claimants in 706 England, payment of such second instalment having been made in India in November, 1863?
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, in reply, that it was found that in the first distribution of this money several mistakes had been made in India, and instructions were sent out in order that those mistakes might be corrected. The amount of the second portion to be distributed could not be determined until that of the first had been ascertained. However, he had written out to India early in March with a view to accelerate the second distribution, but he had not yet received an answer to his despatch.
