§ MR. DYCE NICOLsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, Whether, in the Papers respecting the failure of the Bank of Bombay to be laid upon the table, he will include all Minutes of the Members of Council of India on that subject; and, whether he will intimate to the Governor General of India that he considers it desirable that the Commission to be appointed to inquire into the circumstances of the failure of the Bank of Bombay should be composed of persons unconnected with that Presidency?
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEstated, in reply, that the Minutes of the Members of the Governor General's Council were included in the Papers presented respecting the failure of the Bank of Bombay; and there were no Minutes of the Council at home on the subject which it was thought desirable to produce. He should not feel it his duty to intimate to the Governor General that he considered it desirable that the Commission to inquire into the circumstances of the failure should be composed of persons unconnected with the Bombay Presidency. Such a proceeding would imply an imputation upon the Governor of Bombay, which was not called for.
