§ MR. O'DONNELLasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Why Mr. Wallace, District Judge of Cuddapah, Madras, has been suspended?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSThe case of Mr. Wallace is at present under the consideration of the Government of India, whose views upon it have not yet been laid before the Secretary of State. I am, therefore, unable at present to make any statement on the subject.
§ MR. O'DONNELLsaid, he would ask whether Mr. Wallace had been suspended for charging a senior Member of the Council with accepting presents from Natives; whether, Mr. Wallace having declined to withdraw those charges, his case was referred to the Secretary of State; and, whether this Gentleman would have an impartial inquiry, not one conducted under the orders of the Madras Government?
