§ Sir J. D. REESasked why, when the province of Bengal is being placed in all other respects on an equal footing with the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay, the High Court of Calcutta is to continue to be in official relations with the Governor-General in Council and not with the Governor of Bengal in Council?
