HC Deb 09 July 1883 vol 281 cc777-8
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether it is true that the ex-Tahsildar of Conjeveram, who was sentenced to imprisonment for theft and forgery by the Madras High Court, has been released on bail; and, if so, on what authority has the release been effected?

MR. J. K. CROSS

Sir, the case of ex-Tahsildar of Conjeveram is not one which would be reported to the India Office; but it appears from the Indian newspapers that he had been released by order of the Government of Madras.
