Caoe (et. Lister) come to verify the Inspectores report of that visit, there would probably have been no Inquest in the present case and therefore no disclosure. Yet the Local authorities impose the most minute obligations, provide ample Machinery to the extent of empowering domiciliary visits by day and night. It is inconceivable that Mr Caldwell and his substitutes should have been long tolerated in the commission or permission of the homicidal cruelties disclosed, and that they should ever have remained unpunished in the face of all that express and pungent legislation. Above all, it is inconceivable that the Government Counsel should have suggested in the E.

But, unlike Dr Murray, since he has been engaged, Mr Caldwell ever in the Coolie trade has been in the habit of treating it as a Hospital to the extent of sending thither at least the incurable cases from his Colony here. He also had knowledge of upwards of two hundred coolies of the E. Jose annually, and having seen there as many as eight at a time. Finally, he confesses to having paid the burial charges of persons dying there. But it is clear from the evidence of the Keeper and from that of other Witnesses that the sick charges as well as the burial charges were included in those payments, that the white working was also done by Mr Cardwell's order and at his charge (one remarkable instance being seen me weak point in the Be alive.
