§ Earl WINTERTONasked the Attorney-General if his attention has been called to an article in the "New Age" newspaper for 26th August in which the murder of Sir Curzon Wyllie is partially condoned, and in which an Indian Lieutenant-Governor is accused of deliberately carrying out an illegal execution; and if he proposes to take any proceedings in the case?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir William Robson)I have seen the article, and I do not propose to take any proceedings.
§ Earl WINTERTONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the article suggested that the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal carried out an illegal execution?
§ Sir W. ROBSONI do not think the suggestion is as explicit as the Noble Lord puts it.
§ Mr. MacNEILLIs the right hon. Gentleman in want of an amateur Crown prosecutor?
