§ 17. Mr. MORRELLasked the Undersecretary of State for India whether Mr. A. W. Buchanan, the sub-divisional officer at Victoria Point, Burma, who issued the warrant for the arrest of McCormick in the case which led to the imprisonment of Mr. Channing Arnold, was first transferred to another district and afterwards superseded; and, if so, for what reason?
§ Mr. MONTAGUI have telegraphed for information, but have not yet received the answer. If my hon. Friend will put down his Question again for next Tuesday, I hope to be able to answer it.
§ Mr. MORRELLDoes my right hon. Friend still expect to be able to reply then?
§ Mr. MONTAGUYes.
§ Mr. SWIFT MacNEILLMay I ask the hon. Gentleman whether there is telegraphic communication between this country and India?
§ Mr. MONTAGUWherever the Secretary of State thinks it necessary he telegraphs, but, as I have already stated in the House this afternoon, it is not necessary to continue to worry the Governor of India with telegrams.
