§ 38. Sir P. Hannonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether energetic measures are being taken to secure the arrest and prosecution of the persons who recently assaulted Canon Fitzpatrick in Mauritius?
§ Sir T. InskipI have so far received no report from the Governor of Mauritius on this subject. I have no doubt that all proper police measures will have been taken should any such assault have occurred.
§ Sir P. HannonCould my right hon. Friend make representations to that effect to the Governor of Mauritius?
§ Sir T. InskipIf my hon. Friend has any reason to suppose that the ordinary process of law would not be pursued, I would ask for an inquiry, but it is impossible, as my hon. Friend will realise, to make inquiries about every incident.
