§ Mr. SAMUEL ROBERTSasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been called to the conduct of Mr. R. G. Kilby, the additional deputy magistrate of Midnapore, in sucking out the poison from a wound inflicted on his chaprasie by a rabid dog, and that in consequence the deputy magistrate had to go on half-pay, and at his own expense undergo treatment, both himself and his wife, at Kasauli; and whether it is proposed to make any recognition of this act?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe Secretary of State has no information as to the facts, or as to the intentions of the Local Government, but he is glad to have the opportunity of recognising the fact that the conduct of the officer mentioned, if correctly described in the question, was greatly to his credit.
