§ LORD STANLEY OF ALDERLEYasked the Secretary of State for India, Whether he would lay upon the Table of the House the judgment of the High Court Judges with respect to the use by Mr. Cox of burning camphor to elicit evidence, Mr. Cox's written statement, and the despatch of the Madras Government on the subject?
§ VISCOUNT CRANBROOK,in reply, said, a Question on this subject was asked in the other House, and he had no additional information to that given by the Cinder Secretary. There was no doubt Mr. Cox had been guilty of considerable irregularities; but there was no question of torture involved. No order was made by the High Court; but on the facts coming to the notice of the Government Mr. Cox was censured. He had been seven years in the Service, and there had been no previous complaint against him of any kind. Mr. Cox, during the Famine, had been very active, and it was thought by his Grace the Governor that the conduct of Mr. Cox having been condemned nothing more need be done.
§ House adjourned at a quarter before Seven o'clock, to Monday next, Eleven o'clock.
