HC Deb 21 July 1896 vol 43 c251
MR. HERBERT ROBERTS (Denbighshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, whether he will grant a public Inquiry into the case of the Maharaja of Jhallawar, in such a form that the Maharaja may have a full opportunity of making his defence; and, whether this Inquiry will include an examination of the charges made by him against the Political Resident?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, Ealing

The decision of the Indian Government, which I confirmed in a Dispatch of the 1st of May, is final, and I have no intention of re-opening this case.
