Captain MURRAYI desire to ask the Under-Secretary of State for India a question of which I have given him private notice—whether his attention has been drawn to a newspaper rumour to the effect that a Durbar official in India has been murdered, and whether he has any information to give to the House on that point?
§ Mr. MONTAGUMy attention has been called to a poster and a paragraph, but I am glad to be able to say that there is no foundation for it. I regret to say, however, that a police inspector, according to a newspaper telegram, was murdered in Eastern Bengal yesterday. The telegram arrived from a newspaper correspondent who addressed it from the Durbar Camp. That is probably the explanation.
§ Mr. MONTAGUNone, except from the newspapers this morning.
§ Sir W. BYLESWhich enterprising newspaper is this?
