§ SIR W. LAWSON (Cumberland, Cockermouth)I beg to ask the Under Secretary for India as to statements which appear in the newspapers this morning, that a certain dacoit taken in Burma had been promised that if he surrendered he would not be executed, but, notwithstanding that promise, he is now to be executed by the authorities. Is there any truth in the statement?
§ SIR W. LAWSONI hope the right hon. Gentleman will promptly inquire into it.
