Among the persons thus named were C, who had since returned to America, D, who had retired to New South Wales, E to England, and F to Scotland.
There were four other persons named who were still in India, but they are deeply interested in A and B's story not being believed.

A says that B got the skin of the tiger, and B states that he gave it to C, who cut out two of the claws.

Application is made to C, D, E, and F, and without the possibility of any collusion, or even communication between them, their statements correspond precisely with those of A and B, as to the time, place, circumstances, and persons engaged.
Their statements are sworn to before magistrates in presence of witnesses, and duly attested.

C states that he got the skin from B, and gave it to the Nawab of Rampur[18] for a hookah carpet, but that he took from the left forefoot two of the claws, and gave them to the minister of the King of Oudh for a charm for his sick child.
The Nawab of Rampur, being applied to, states that he received the skin from C, at the time and place mentioned, and that he still smokes his hookah upon it; and that it had lost the two claws upon the left forefoot.

The minister of the King of Oudh states that he received the two claws nicely set in gold; that they had cured his boy, who still wore them round his neck to guard him from the evil eye.
