§ THE EARL OF DENBIGHinquired of the Secretary of State for India, If he will give facilities to the authorized agent of the legal representatives of the late General Sombre to inspect certain documents believed to be now at Agra, which were taken possession of by the East Indian Government on the death of the Begum Sombre in 1836, as appears by a paper intituled "East India Badshapore Case," and ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on the 3rd of July, 1865?
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYsaid, he had made inquiries at the India Office, and found that the Papers referred to by his noble Friend were unknown there. No information respecting them could be obtained, and they had no means of ascertaining whether any such Papers existed. All he could do in the matter was to promise that inquiry should be made of the Government in India on the subject, and that any information that was obtained should be communicated to his noble Friend.
§ House adjourned at a quarter past Seven o'clock, till To-morrow, half past Ten o'clock.
