HC Deb 28 March 1898 vol 55 c1078
SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAGGREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he has received by the last dispatches from the Bombay Government any particulars regarding the riots which recently took place in that city; and, if so, will he state the same for the information of the House?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA

No, Sir. I have not yet received from India any information concerning the Bombay riots, except by telegram. I have ascertained, however, that a dispatch may be expected shortly.
