HC Deb 23 March 1903 vol 119 cc1450-1
Mr. BUCHANAN (Perthshire, E.)

To ask the Secretary of State for India what action the Viceroy or the Military authorities intend to take with regard to Captain Winter, who was convicted and fined by the Bombay Police Court for a gross insult to a native barrister and his wife in a railway carnage on 10th February.

(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) I have observed a report in the newspapers of the case referred to, and of the decision of the magistrate. I have no doubt that the Government of India have taken due notice of the very reprehensible conduct of Captain Winter, but it does not seem necessary to make special inquiries on the subject.
