To—F. Souter, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
I have gone through the depositions taken by you at Baroda, and in my
opinion they make out a strong prima facie case of abetment of an attempt to
murder against the Gaekwar Yeshwunt Bao and Salim. If the parties were
ordinary Bombay inhabitants, I have no doubt a J ury would convict them on
the evidence recorded.

I, A mina B i , aya, now residing at Bombay, represent as follows I sent
to you a letter affixing a postage label on it. I do not know whether it has
reached you or not, and I am therefore under arxiety day and night. I trust

news and thereby gratify me. If you wish that I should not go there, I am
ready to undertake a voyage to England. If you wish, I shall endeavour to
obtain a situation of that'kind. I am in doubt as to why no letter is received
from you here. I await a reply from you. If you call me I shall go there,
