§ SIR ROPER LETHBRIDGE (Kensington, N.)asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the attention of Her Majesty's Government has been directed to certain statements in The Ceylon Press regarding the death of the late Mr. Gunn, an official of the Public Works Department, alleged to have been caused by the harsh treatment he had received; and, whether the Correspondence relating to this case will be laid upon the Table of the House?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)Mr. Gunn, after having a pension awarded to him in 1885, was re-appointed in 1886 as District Engineer; since which time there has been no Correspondence respecting him. Perhaps my hon. Friend will give me a reference to the newspaper notices to which he alludes, as I have not seen them.
