chief warder, but that worthy did not believe him and sent the nafortunate toy back to his work. What followed is thus stated by his fellowprisoner:
When I returned at 12 o,clock Nagap pan told me that he had been struck a fearful blow about the body with a jambok by Johannes and that he was very ill. The next day (Sunday) he could not take any food, On monday Nagappan looked as if he would die, and supporting him, I took him to the chief warder, whom I informed that the loy had not had any food for two days that he was very ill, and that he could not work. The chief warder then aakod me for how long the boy was sentenced and when I replied that his term was for 10 days, and that he would be released on Wednesday, he exclaimed Let him die like the other."Address ing the boy, he said, "Take a pick and shovel and go with the others on the boy then went with us to rond." The boy work, we carrying his tools and support ing him all the way.
Theso sickening facts were carroborat
by another Indian prisoner Moodalay in his statement before the Justice of the Pence. Dr Godfrey's certificate is quoted below:
This is to certify that I attended Nagappan during his last illness since July 1, 1909. He had just come out of the goal. From the first I saw that he
had no hope. If If the history that ho
gave me prior to his death be true, I am of opinion that the Register of Deaths ahould hold some sort of an inquest. Aud the Attorney-General should be notified as to the treatment. the sick prisoners receive at the different gaol compounds. In my opinion, the boy's deth has been accelerated by the conduct of the goal officials, if all is true. Cause of death: Primary, acute double pneumonia; second, heart failure. Duration of disease nine days. BRUIRES ALL OVER THE BODY.

These figures will show that the imports into India of foreign cotton goods have decreased during the last four years. The imports in Ceylon and Madras show very sight increase but that does not go to make up the heavey deficit in other parts. might be contended by anti-SwadeshBoycott-ers that this deficit in the imports is due solely the general depression everywhere. But it is a remarkable thing that the depression did not affect the imports of Twist; on the other hand they have been growing. Besides in the years of general depression of trade, the Indian milla did not materially sutter, but increased in number and in their output. That is the result of the Swadeshi-boycott movement. The move ment created a large demand for Indian goods; and it was owing to this demand that the mills were working steadily and escapod collapse owing to the general depression-Mahratta.
