HC Deb 29 July 1908 vol 193 c1483
MR. LUPTON (Lincolnshire, Sleaford)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India if Mr. Tilak, at his recent trial in Bombay, was convicted by seven Englsh jurymen and acquitted by two native jurymen; and, if so, in view of the fact that the jury were disagreed and of the feeling caused by the sentence of six years imprisonment in the Bombay Presidency, whether the Secretary of State will cause the sentence to be remitted.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BUCHANAN,) Perthshire, E.

With regard to my hon. friend's Question, I have nothing to add to the full statement that I made yesterday in reply to the hon. Member for Brentford.
