We do not desire to refor to the proposed organization of the Regular Forces. Theen will apparently remain much as they are at prrecut. The National Service Leagne. is mainly concerned with Mr. Haldane's proposals with regard to the constitution of the National or Territorial Army.
ad the only alteration the art made was to reduce the sentences from six mouths rigorous, to six months simple, imprison ment.
As the prisoners ware being removed the Chief Judga addressed them, remarking that they should go away quietly in the conveyance provided for them, and create an die urbance, and that they would not be biantouffed.
Following this a number of assaults upon Europeans took place in Lahore in the coness of the day.
It appears that the police rreaived only abat 20 minutes notice that the Chief Court's judgment was to be delivered at govs, and there was in consequence, no time for the anthorities to make arrangements for the pro Tautin of a disturbance, each as proved daghate on the ocasion of the Lower Court's decisiou in the same case.
