§ SIR JOHN LUBBOCK (London University), presented a Petition from the Kammalahs of Southern India praying the House of Commons to disregard certain Resolutions of the Indian National Congress, which they allege do not adequately represent the opinions of the Indian people; expressing their loyal confidence in the British civilians, who act impartially between the different Indian races, and who have secured liberty, freedom, and equality to all classes of the people alike; hoping that the House will not consent to fill their places by natives belonging to one caste, as must follow if appointments are filled up by competition examinations; and praying that natives of one caste, race, or religion may not be placed in authority over those belonging to other castes, 1147 races, or religions, of which they know little or nothing, and to which they are often bitterly opposed.
