HC Deb 11 February 1908 vol 183 c1525
MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India what proportion of the criminal work, original and appellate, in India is disposed of by district and other magistrates in whose case revenue and magisterial functions are combined, and what proportion is disposed of by magistrates who do not exercise revenue and other administrative powers.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. MORLEY,) Montrose Burghs

The information asked for is not available in this country, and in view of the labour which would probably be involved, I do not think I should be justified in calling on the Government of India to supply it.
