Mr. SUMMERBELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that about 250 East Indian indentured coolie immigrants, landed at Port-of-Spain, on or about 8th August, were taken to hospital; what was the nature of their disease; and upon whom the cost of their treatment at the hospital will fall?

Colonel SEELY
