kasam, that that was done with the intention of showing the

assembly that the police were armed and would use their aras if

necessary. I can carry it very much further because we know that

ene member of the assembly in front actually pushed aside Inspeoter 533

Pitt. Inspecter Pitt fired a revolver shet which could convey one

inference only,namely, that if you continue to do what you are

deing there will be a show of force. It is not necessary

in law,

for me to show that every member of the assembly knew what teek

place. I do not think strenger warnings could have been given

to this assembly than the warnings at the water-werks. I think,

also,we are entitled to accept the evidence of the pelios when

they say that the assembly zet enly pushed past the police but

forded the Indian police back a very considerable distance. I will

not split hairs regarding the distance. It may have been 30 er

40 yards er 30 or 40 feet,but we must cene to the conclusion

that the assembly pushed back the police a considerable distance,

sufficient te convey to my reasonable mm that if they continued

to do what they were deing extreme measures would be reserted te.

Every reasonable precaution was taken. The pelice actually want

among the mob. Sergeant Fielä went among them and teld them in

their own language that they ould not proceed. I do not think

mere precautions oeuld have be n expected from anyone whoxe has

to carry out the palice duties of this deleng than were taken by

the Felice at the Water Verks. Every possible course was taken to

disperse that assambly, ether than firing. Only two courses were

left to the Palios -one to let the assembly go on, the ether to fire

en it. Inesoter Pitt did not consider that he should fire. He

preferred to let the assembly go through in the hope that re-

infer oemante would come up and they would be able to deal with the

assembly without firing. Nothing could have been conveyed nero

strongly to that assembly than that they were preceeding at their own

risk, that they were dissbeying the law and that if they continued

in the purpose on which they had set out very serious conse¬nances

would result.
