HC Deb 24 October 1916 vol 86 c974W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps have been taken to bring to justice, and with what results, the Moor whose public murder of a Sinhalese in the presence of the police led to the rioting in Ceylon?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am not clear as to what incident the hon. Member has in mind, but I can find no ground for his suggestion as to the origin of these riots.
