large number of coolie labourers of both factions were present having been drawn thither by the pickets of Justices. I was deputed, having been harangued by certain of the disputants, to elect a spokesman to state its grievance against the other with a view to arriving at a settlement of the matter in dispute. This was done and a long discussion ensued from which it appeared that neither party had had any particular grievance against the other to which the commencement of hostilities could be attributed.
There was now however the question of the murder of Jung Koon and the injuries inflicted on the various others of both parties on the previous day.
The proceedings had reached this stage when the sound of Police whistles was heard outside, and I left the meeting to find that a number of shots had been fired from the roof of the house from which the shots had been fired the day before, into the top floor of a house on the opposite side of the road, and that a man in the latter had received a bullet in the face. Two Indian Constables armed with rifles were at once posted on the house tops and armed sentinels were kept posted there during the duration of the disturbance with the result that no more shooting took place.
