From all that leaked out," at THEODORO VAFIADIS & CO.
"we gather that some woman made ad jutamons complaint to the Governor, that secret investiga tion was held in regard to it, and that Sir Hector was persuaded to leave forEngland to rebut the charges or defend himself at, any enquiry hold in Ceylon, so that the very mistaken step he was induced to take by leaving for England must have prejudiced him seriously with the home authorities. Hence when he received the news of his trial by court-martial, as proclaimed in the Ceylon Council Chamber, we can well understand how the fact of his learing Ceylon without clearing or defending himself must have fushed upon him as a fatal mistuke.”
