§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been called to the Honnibal shooting case, when Captain Wood, accompanied by other officers, fired into a sugar cane plantation and hit an old man; whether he is aware that a villager named Kenguri detained the officers and was afterwards sentenced to four months' imprisonment on a charge of assault; whether inquiries have been made as to the injuries sustained by the old man at the hands of the officers, and whether he will lay a statement of the whole case upon the Table of the House.
§ LORD G. HAMILTONThe matter to which the hon. Member's question refers is now being inquired into by the Government of India, but I shall not receive any report on the subject for some days.
