§ Mr. MORGAN JONESasked the Secretary of State for India whether he has now received information that a mistake was made in the arrest of Dr. Paton, a Christian medical missionary, in Madras; and whether disciplinary action has been taken against the police officer who was responsible for beating Dr. Paton in public and lodging an unfounded charge against him?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe mistake was due to a genuine misunderstanding, and as I have full confidence in the Government of Madras, I have not thought it necessary to make further inquiries as to whether disciplinary action has been taken.
