HC Deb 21 February 1912 vol 34 cc597-8
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Colonial Secretary whether, on 24th October, Captain Alexander Henderson Chalmers, senior boarding officer in the master attendant's office, Singapore, was fined fifty dollars by one of His Majesty's magistrates at Singapore, namely, Mr. A. de Mella, for assaulting Mr. A. W. Gooneratne, a Ceylon man who is chief clerk at the Siamese Consulate, Singapore; and whether the Colonial Office has taken any action with regard to the matter?

Mr. HARCOURT

I regret that I have not yet received the report for which I asked the Governor.
