occasion in question were in two parties, one with the District Magistrate and the other with the Assistant Magistrate. The former fired into the crowd, the latter into the air, and it is reported, without any reflection on the marks- manship of either party, that so far as is known no one was hit, or to quote the resolution textually, It is not known what effect the velley had. If any of the mob were killed or wounded they were carried off by their friends." Reading the official report of the riot we are struck by the singular display of patience by both magistrates and soldiers, for although they were stoned by the mob with pieces of kankar, the magistrate had the 5th Bengal Cavalry disperse the crowd without so much as drawing their swords--a fact which speaks very well for the discipline of the 5th The riot originated pretty much as that of 1898 in Eombay, though that of Cawnpore was more clearly premeditated. It took place at the time of the Bakri I'd when Hindus and Mahomedans are usually at the height of their natural enmity. But the last Bakri I'd at Cawn- pore was marked by an exhibition of an unwonted friendly feeling.. The fact that the Mahomedans killed no cows for their festivities and the Hindus supplied them with sherbet is sufficient evidence of pre-arrangement. When the Idgah" was breaking up a nock kidnapping was acted, a cry being raised that a boy had been captured and carried to the plague hospital to be burnt alive. Fifteen 'hundred persons of both creeds, armed with axes and lathis, at pace set out for the plague camp. They killed the head constable, four policemen and a chuprasi. Yet the magistrate are amazed at the moderate terms in which the Lieutenant-Governor has referred to the con- duct of an official in such an emergency. Had he ordered the 5th Cavalry to fire on the mob and taken a life for a life, the effect would have been not merely to restore order but to have subjects for miles around, the fact that the brought home to the rioters and their fellow-
orders of the Sirkar must be obeyed whatever they are, and that people may not riot and kill with impunity Unfortunately however in affairs of the kind, it is not the real culprits who are punished.
