Sir:-

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow-

Sir F.

ledge the receipt of your letter No.21508/1914 of the

16th. instant in regard to the execution of the sentence

of death which was passed more than eighteen months ago

upon the Sepoy Ibrahim.

In reply to Mr. Secretary Harcourt's enquiry

whether the Secretary of State still considers that

this sentence should be commuted, I am to say that, in

the letter from this Department of the 26th. ultimo,

the course has already been stated which Sir E. Grey

thinks would have been adopted if a case with precisely

similar circumstances had been referred to him from one

of the Courts connected with the Foreign Office, and he

has nothing to add to the considerations put forward in

that letter.

At the same time Sir Edward Grey recognises that

the ultimate decision in this case, and its accompanying

responsibility

ie Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
