Mr. C. M. Fernando said he would like Mr. Pieris to continue his 
researches, and he did not think he would adhere to the statement that 
no other medals had been granted to any other caste than the caste 
named by him. He was certain if his friend Mr. Pieris was asked the 
question two years ago he would have said that no medal was given 
by the Dutch to the Smith caste. This was a subject which they had 
not gone into before. Mr. Pieris was just beginning his researches. 
If he would continue his researches he would find that medals were 
given to the Sinhalese of other castes, and the speaker would be glad . 
to tell him, if asked, in which direction to make search.
