§ SIR CHARLES WINGFIELDsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether a Petition has been received from the Chiefs and Landholders of the Punjaub, complaining of an Act passed in October last, called the Punjaub Tenancy Act, as an infringement of the customs of that Province; and, if not, whether he has heard that such a Petition has been submitted to the Governor General for transmission to the Secretary of State; and whether the Secretary of State for India has sent any instructions to the Governor General on the subject of the above Law?
MR. GRANT DUFFSir, vague rumours respecting this Petition have reached me, as they appear to have reached my hon. Friend, but no official information has been received about it, and no instructions whatever have been sent to India.
