said, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for India. Whether the Secretary of State has it in contemplation to disallow the Punjaub Tenancy Act passed in October last at a Council held at Simla, the said Act never having been previously published in the Gazette as required by Law, so that the intention of the Legislature might become generally known; and, whether the Governor General, in Legislative Council, has it in contemplation to amend or rescind certain provisions in the said Act which, have caused dissatisfaction among the landed proprietors of the Punjaub?

MR. GRANT DUFF

, in reply, said, no resolution of any sort or kind had been come to by the Home Government with regard to the Punjaub Tenancy Act. Nor had they heard anything whatever about any intention on the part of the Governor General to amend or rescind any provisions of that Act in his Legislative Council.
