attack was directed as
directed as for instance, if
firing
a policeman in
or wounds a
at
a
robber kills a
bystander, he is said
to have wounded or killed him
wrongly or by mistake not accidentally, for which there is another term : in the present case, it undoubtedly means
that he took another man's
examination papers wrongly for which he would be liable to very
punishment, unless he
could prove that it was accidental.
