To Your Lordship,

Petitioners beg to state that they were surprised to find that during the period they were in prison, some prisoners had been killed by the guards.

The Superintendent of the Jail was informed about the killing of the prisoners, and the petitioners were asked to give their statements to the Police Magistrate the next day.

The petitioners state that they were very glad when the prisoners were taken away, and on two occasions, the guards' rifles were made cool, although the original certificate is attached herewith for perusal.

Your Lordship's most obedient servant,

Chchall Singh,

Son of Jutte, Village ...,
