The question as to whether the scope of the Order in Counci! was limited to indigenous religions was then gone into fully, and the Court held that the Order was not limited to native religions. It related to reli- gicos established

It was usual to appoint a committee of five to deal with an offender in this ro- spect, a fine being imposed.

Jemadar Buddha-Singh, President of the Gurdwara, said the letter which defendant enclosed in the par cel read as follows: God is ane. Greeting.

Mr. Faithfull then briefly stated the case for the prosecution, which was that some months ago the defendant cut off his hair, a grave offence against the Sikh religion, which laid down. strict rules with, regard to cutting the hair and beard. This brought him into disrepute at the Gurdwara. On December 29, the Sikh whose duty it was to clean the church after ser- vices found a parcel placed in front of the Sacred Book.
