§ 10. Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has any information with regard to the murder of Sub-Inspector Roy at Chittagong; and whether this was a political murder, and was in any way connected with the conspiracy case recently tried in Cawnpore?
§ Mr. RICHARDSI have very little information. The deceased had arrested an absconder accused in a case described briefly in a telegram as "the Chittagong political case, in which the persons tried were recently acquitted." It is understood that the reference is to a dacoity committed in December last; some of the persons believed to be concerned in that were in March stated to be connected with the Maniktola bomb factory. I should think it most unlikely that the case has any relation whatever to the Cawnpore case. One arrest is reported to have been made.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYWas not Sub-Inspector Roy responsible for running down several of these revolutionary conspiracies?
§ Mr. RICHARDSHe was responsible for arresting one of these individuals?
