§ MR. DALRYMPLEasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether his attention has been called to the circumstances of a raid having been made on the 27th January by the Naga Hill tribes upon the Baladhun Tea Gardens in Cachar, when the manager of the gardens, Mr. Peter Blyth, was killed, and the houses on the estate were burnt; and, if he will instruct the Government of India to make full inquiry upon the subject?
§ MR. E. STANHOPESir, we have no official information upon the subject at present. I gather from the newspapers that the police were in pursuit of the party that committed the raid, and I have no doubt that the Government of India have already taken such precautions as are possible to guard against the recurrence of such an event.
