§ SIR WILLIAM HOULDSWORTH (Salford, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if his attention has 615 been drawn to a report of the execution of 23 leading Indian merchants at Kilwa in German East Africa, for alleged complicity in a rebellious rising in that district; and if he can give any information on the subject?
MR. CURZONWe have heard nothing of the alleged execution on Indian merchants at Kilwa; nor have I seen the report to which my hon. Friend alludes.
