§ MR. REES (Montgomery Boroughs)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether he can give the House any information regarding a riot at Tinnevelly.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I am informed that a riot occurred at Tinnevelly on Saturday last, in which the municipal, post, and police offices were 397 looted and burnt. Being unable to clear the streets the magistrate and superintendent of police ordered the police to fire, and the rioting then ceased. Four casualties were reported.
