§ 16. Sir J. D. REESasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has any information to give concerning the Moplah outbreak in Malabar in addition to what has already appeared in the Press?
§ Mr. C. ROBERTSThe main facts have already appeared in the Press. The gang that attacked Mr. Innes consisted of only five men, four of whom were killed and the other captured when they were dislodged by the police from the Hindu Temple which they had seized. Two constables were wounded, and one Hindu villager injured. Order has now been completely restored. The outbreak is considered by the Madras Government to be quite unimportant. It was entirely unsupported by the general population, which assisted the authorities, and it has followed the type of the not uncommon outbreaks of Mapilla fanaticism.
