Shaikh's Town Lieutenant ani informed hia that he would try
Muttalib the following day at 3 p.w. Under what Section of
the Indian Penal Code the aan could be tried is a nice point.
Poaeibly Section 415 (Cheating) Might apply. Section 273,
(noxioua food), would hardly be applicable, since cata-aieat,
though not to erery one^ taste, cannot be held to be ^unfit
for food*.
6. Before de Gaury's interview with the Town Lieutenant
closed, de Gaury having previously observed an unusual number
of cats in the Lieutenants own house, scored a shrewd point by
sharply asking him how many he kept himself. failing, the
Lieutenant answered 'about fairteen, with those in the haram 11 ,
and left hastily.
7. The next move in the case was that the Shaikh went out
hawking # and at 2 p.m. on the next day de Gaury was informed toy
the Town Lieutenant that the witnesses in the case could not be
produced at 3 p.m. without the Shaikh's orders, and the Shaikh
was away. de Gaury quite correctly confirmed his previous
message that he would try the rjin at 3 p.m., and at that hour
had the mn brought before him and - in the absence of the
witnesses • dismissed the case.
^ fler i can i i n 31 on, for some obscure rsason, took up
the ease i»ith oon Sid arable elan, nr. Mylrea playing the part of
the local Aerloolc Holmes, or rather Or, Thorndyke, and -
analysing a hair found by the Town Lieutenant on a table in
Sfuttalib'e restaurant - certified it to be the same as that of
a dead cat in a dustbin in the neighbourhood, de Oaury correct
ly, to the chagrin of the tfiasion, decided that this erldence
could not hold weight.
