LONDON, June 5.

Andportant libel suit, the hearing of which Occupied no fewer than 25 days and cost £20,000. cpded to-day when Sir Michael O'Dwyer former Lieutenant-Governor of the Panjab was awarded a verdict against Sir Sankaran Nair, late member of the Government of India.

Damages were agreed at £500 and costs. Sir Michael O'Dwyer complained that Sir Gandhi and Sankaran Nair in a book entitled Anarchy" accused him of resorting to methods of terrorism to obtain recruits for the army during the war and with being responsible for alleged citrages at Amritsar and elsewhere in the Punjab.

Plaintiff's counsel contended that Sir Michael O'Dwyer opposed-coercive measures for recruiting, that General Dyer's action in firing on the mob at Amritsar in April of 1919 was justifled and that Sir Michael O'Dwyer was not responsible as martial law has been prodalmed and the military had charge of the situation.

The Judge in summing up expressed the opinion. that General Dyer had acted rightly and was wrongly punished by the Secretary of State for India. The dramatic character of this vindica- tion is enhanced by the fact that it was announced in the course of the trial that General Dyer was dying.
