§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the Under Secretary of State for India, If he will lay upon the Table Copies of all unpublished Correspondence on the subject of the Kirwee Booty, between officers interested in the Prize Grant and the India Depart- 511 ment, subsequent to the presentation of the last Return of Papers relating to this matter, viz. No. 213, of 1876; and, of the Short-hand Notes of the Proceedings in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, including the Arguments of Counsel and Sir C. Hall's Judgment in the action "Kinlochv.The Secretary of State in Council," on the 4th November 1879?
§ MR. E. STANHOPESir, on the 28th of January, Mr. Kinloch applied to Vice Chancellor Hall to direct that he should be furnished with the documents bearing on the case which might be in the possession of the Secretary of State; but the Vice Chancellor refused to make the order on the ground that an appeal was pending against his decision. But I should be glad to confer with my hon. and gallant Friend about these Papers. We have at the India Office a copy of the recent Judgment, but not the arguments of counsel; but I hardly think these Papers of sufficient general interest to be printed at the public expense.
