§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary of State for India if he will ascertain under what circumstances Mr. Jack, a settlement officer in the Patuakhali District of India, was recently engaged in assisting Mr. Kemp, a police superintendent, in searching for lathials, and, seeing that they wrongly arrested as lathials newly settled ryots in the village of Alipura, will he state what action it is proposed to take in the matter.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I understand that the proceedings of Mr. Jack have recently been under investigation in a court of law; until the cases connected with them have been decided I see no reason to take any action in the matter.
