HC Deb 23 March 1886 vol 303 cc1634-5
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (&c.) Kirkcaldy,

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If particulars regarding the execution of rebels and Dacoits, in Upper Burmah, have been received; if he can say how many Burmese were shot or summarily executed; and, if her Majesty's Government are satisfied that those executions were necessary and justifiable, and that neither the civil nor the military officers put natives of the country to death for resisting the British forces in the annexation of the country?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir UGHTRED KAY-SHUTTLE-WORTH) (Lancashire, Clitheroe)

All the information at present in the possession of Her Majesty's Government was given in the Parliamentary Paper, Burmah No. 2 (1686), which was laid on the Table of the House on the 11th instant, and copies of which, it is hoped, will very soon be in the hands of hon. Members.
