IN THE PLAGUE DOCTORS QUESTION

Mr. Osborne-I beg to ask you, siz, if there is any information with regard to the doctors that were asked by the Board on 28th January coming from India?

The doctors have not been selected yet. They wished to know whether native doctors will do if we cannot get Euro, ptaps, and the second telegram was to the effect that five extra, doctors would be re- quired in addition to the three we first asked for

This was all the public business.

At the time we were unable to glean any further information from the authorities at the Bank, beyond the fact that they denied the shroff embezzled such a large sum av $50,000. Subsequent events, however, have proved our former statements 10, be absolutely correct for at the Magistracy this morning, before Mr. F. M.
