§ SIR ROPER LETHBRIDGE (Kensington, N.)asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether there is any record in the India Office of a letter from the late Earl of Iddesleigh (then Sir Stafford Northcote) to Mr. Commissioner Tayler, of Patna, dated December 7, 1868, in which it was stated that Mr. Tayler's appeal had not up to that date gone before the Committee of the Indian Council, and the promise was given that the case should be looked into "fairly and fully?"
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)There is no record of any such letter.
§ SIR ROPER LETHBRIDGEI should like to ask the hon. Gentleman whether, if I hand him such a letter, which I hold in my hand, he will undertake that it will be entered in the archives of the India Office?
§ SIR JOHN GORSTI think I ought to have Notice of that Question.
