Copy Extract from judgment in the Lahore Conspiracy trial.
"Similarly at Hongkong Amar Singh tells us (p.64)
that seditious meetings were held in the Gurdwara when the
Kores and Mashirna karu arrived there, which were attended
by sepoys, and sepoys were told of their grievances at being
held up in Hongkong. The danger became so great there that
the officers were compelled to change the lines of the
26th Infantry, and we will see later on how far this regiment
was affected.
Nawab Khan tells us (p.126) that Sikh sepoys at
Hongkong assured them of their assistance, but they were
averse from starting a rebellion there as the Indian officers
were thoroughly loyal and discouraged revolutionary ideas.
The sepoys were urged to refuse to go on active service, and
he also tells (p.127) that meetings at the Gurdwara, which
extended over eight days, were attended by Sikh sepoys. who
had become disaffected."
