§ SIR WILLIAM WEDDERBURN (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the proceedings of Mr. Meredith, District Magistrate of Lahore, who entered the Court of the local first class magistrate during the trial of a criminal case, rebuked him on account of an order he had passed in the case, and requested him to revise it; and whether the course of action adopted by Mr. Meredith has been taken into consideration?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingI have no knowledge of this matter except from a newspaper report with which the hon. Baronet has favoured me. The case, as there stated, assuming the statement to be correct, is one in which, as at present advised, I see no necessity for interfering, and which may be safely left to he dealt with by the Local Government.
