The banker, whose treasure they had been carrying, had an equal dislike to be summoned to court to give evidence, now that he could no longer hope to recover any portion of his lost money; and it was not till after Lieutenant Brown had given him a similar assurance, that he would consent to have his books examined.

The loss of the four thousand five hundred rupees was then found entered, with the names of the men who had been killed at Sujaina in carrying it.

These are specimens of some of the minor difficulties we had to contend with in our efforts to put down the most dreadful of all crimes.

All the prisoners accused of these murders had just been tried for others, or Lieutenant Brown would not have been able to give the pledge he did.
[W.

H.S.] Difficulties of the same kind beset the administration of criminal justice in India to this day.
