HC Deb 08 August 1876 vol 231 c821
GENERAL SHUTE

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If it is intended to refer the unadjusted prize claims of Sir George Whitlock's force as regards the Kirwee Booty to the High Court of Admiralty; and, whether more prompt steps cannot be taken to settle these claims?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON,

in reply, said, it was not intended to refer any question relating to the Kirwee booty to the High Court of Admiralty, or to reverse any decision that had already been arrived at; but the Secretary of State for India had communicated to the Indian Government his opinion that the account should be wound up, and any assets that remained distributed.
