SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST INDIAN CONSTABLE.

The primary objcet 'of the new Government measure is to prevent the evasion of Estate duties. There have been cases, we believe, where estates of wealthy men, upon being wound up after the death of the owners, have yielded little or no- thing to the revenue. It has been found that the large share holdings in public companies which formed the bulk of those estates have been transferred to others. The transfer is attached to the scrip, but the date of the transfer is unspecified and it is alleged to be very difficult to prove that such property, which may or may not have been legitim- ately sold or given away years pre-able and it was dropped. HE the "viously, is subject to death duties. Oficer Administering the Govern The difficulty, we imagine, is exment (Sir CLAUD, SEVEN) remarked aggerated.
