It was by no means sufficient with them to vilify me in the papers as man was never before abused, but they would hang me if they could ; and accordingly are trying to prove me guilty of murder. * * The public have been taught to believe that I fired upon unresisting sleeping innocents. * * * The papers have it that I am suspended but that is not the case, I am required to attend in Calcutta pending this business, but I continue to draw my salary ; and the Deputy Governor tells me that Govt. express no opinion one way or the other. I understand that but for a blunder the case would have been dropped long ago. To show you the spirit that is working against me I must tell you that I had notices of actions for damages in fourteen civil actions with which I was threatened ; one case of false imprisonment, one of contempt of Court, and one of murder. They tried also to get up a case of bribery and corruption,swearing I had taken a consideration of three lacs of Rupees; and I was also accused of subornation of perjury. Finding they could make out no case, they have given up all but two—contempt of the Supreme Court and murder; and these they only persevere in to keep up the odium against me and the agitation while the trial of Mr Shaw and the pretender is pending. My being in difficulty gives great weight to them as it cows all the witnesses who have to give evidence for the prosecution. * * into cow कथा ७शिनदि cमप्लडेब इहेबा आश्रृंनाज्ञ नषरक बगिब्रांप्इम । जानबाबाब्र লম্বন্ধে এ কথ। জারও কত বলবৎ । 建
