The result of this enquiry is to establish the fact that the prisoner himself
as well as Salam came on duty at a singularly early hour on the mormnsr in
question. Faizoo Eamzan was seen by the Resident's butler, Pedro de Souz'i
on his way to the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. from the city about 6-20 a.m . Paizoo Ilamzan
shortly afterwards went into the dispense-khana where Abdoolla and Bnnchod
Jiussa! were employed about 6-30. From there he went into the dinine-room
and about lOminutes later he returned to the dispense-khana, and then left
the house. Abdoolla states that on days when Faizoo Ilamzan came from the
city he did not usually arrive at the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. till about 7-30 or 8 o'clock and
he lias never known him arrive so early from the citv as he did on the morn in-

were at the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. about the same time, 6-30 a.m ., on the morning in ques-
