§ MR. REESTo ask the Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India could, without undue labour and expense, enter in the existing judicial statistics the nationalities of the presiding officers, in order that information may be readily available as to the quarter in which responsibility lies for the great majority of the decisions of the civil and magisterial courts in India, and as to the limited extent to which Europeans dispense justice between man and men in India.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Morley.) I am not prepared to call upon the Government of India to introduce into the judicial statistics a complication which would undoubtedly add considerably to the labour of preparing them, without serving, in my opinion, any very useful purpose.
