SERIOUS RIOTS IN INDIA.
PRISONERS DECORATED WITH GARLANDS. EUROPEANS ASSAULTED. Received April 19, 8.7 a.m. CALCUTTA, April 18. The Chief Court at Lahore upheld the conviction and the sentences recently imposed in the newspaper Punjabi sedition case, but changed the imprisonment from "rigorous" to "simple." The Chief Judge remarked that he would have been pleased to reduce the sentences had the prisoners expressed contrition. While the prisoners were being conveyed to gaol, a crowd stopped the carriage, pelted the police in charge with mud, and decorated the prisoners with garlands. Then, forming a procession along the Mall, they assaulted every European they met until the police dispersed them. |
