INDIA MEDICAL WARRANT.
Mr. BAZLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was true, as stated in the United Service Gazette
and Home News, that the Indian medical warrant had been
cancelled ; if such be the case, what measures had been
taken as regarded the pay and organisation of the medical
department, and when will those measures be reported to
the house ?
Sir C. WOOD said the warrant had not been cancelled.
On the contrary, it had given great satisfaction in India,
and still remains in force.
BRITISH-GROWN TOBACCO.
Mr. SCULLY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was not practicable to devise some convenient
mode of levying a duty upon home-grown tobacco, so as
to permit its profi'able cultivation in these countries with-
out loss to the imperial revenue.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
with every desire to extend the sphere of employment in
this country, and after giving the utmost attention to the
matter, the difficulties in the way of the growth of tobacco
in England bad been found at all events up to the present
moment insurmountable. He did not think under the
present circumstances it would be possible, although he
candidly declared it would be a source of satisfaction to
him if it could.
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES
Mr. CRAWFORD, asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether it was true that a Charter of Incorporation
had been granted by the Crown to the " British India and
Colonial Trust and Agency Corporation, Limited ;" and,
if so, if he would state the grounds ou which
such charter was granted to a company constituted
under the provisions of the " Limited Liability Act ;"
and whether he would consent to lay the correspondence
in the particular case in question upon the table of the

house.
Mr. M. GIBSON, in reply, said the Crown had not been
advised to grant a charter of incorporation to the company
referred to. With respect to the correspondence connected
with the matter, there would be no objection to its pro-
duction.
THE INDIAN OFFICERS' GRIEVANCE.

Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for India
whether the Royal Commission to inquire into the griev-
ances of Indian officers had been appointed ; the names of
the commissioners ; when the commission was likely to
commence its labours ; and whether the 717 petitions pre-
sented to the House of Commons could be brought to the
consideration of the commission ?
Sir C. WOOD said he hoped he should have been en-
abled to have appointed this committee sooner, but great
difficulty had been experienced in obtaining a chairman.
That had been effected last week, and the commission had
been signed on Monday. The names would appear in the
Gazette to morrow, and after that the sittings would
immediately commence.
IRISH RAILWAYS.
Mr. MONSELL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the evidence taken by the Railway Commissioners
on the Irish railway system would be laid before the house
before the end of the session.
