HC Deb 05 August 1878 vol 242 c1176
MR. SULLIVAN

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If it is true that the Registry or volume containing copies of the Madras Wills is missing or has been stolen from the India Office?

MR. E. STANHOPE

Yes, Sir, it is true that the volume containing copies of the Madras wills from 1788 to 1789 is missing. Its loss has only recently been discovered, and if the volume cannot be recovered, other copies of the wills will be obtained from Madras.
