asked the Secretary of State for India whether he has any further information to give the House with regard to recent disturbances in India?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Montagu)

I have little to add to the information that has appeared in the Press. In the Bombay Presidency riots occurred on 12th, instant at Virangam, where a mob attacked and burnt down the railway station, and other acts of destruction are reported. Troops were dispatched from Ahmedabad, and order has now been restored. Bombay city is reported to have been quiet since 11th instant.
