§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether the claims of Sirdar Balvant Ramchandra Natu, of Poona, which were sent to the Secretary of the Governor of Bombay on 25th August, 1901, have yet been considered.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) The answer is in the affirmative. On the 15th July last Sirdar Balvant Ramchandra Natu was informed that, as his communication of the 25th August, 1901, purported to be a notice under the Civil Procedure Code, Sec. 424, of his intention to file a suit against the Government, no further orders were deemed necessary.
