THE MOPLAH ASPHYXIATIONS.

London, Jan. 31.

In the opinion of the committee,, consisting of Governosent Commissioner assisted by three non-officials including a Moham- medan, which inquired as to the asphyxiation of sixty-four Mopiahs and subsequently found that the ventilation of the van was defec tive, though similar ones had previously been extensively used without mishap, the use of such vang was unobjectionable, not inhumane and was undoubtedly justified in the circumstances. Al- though separate inspection of ventilation was desirable the main responsibility for the failure of the latter was held to lie with the Railway Company. The Police Sergeant was guilty of negligence in failing to note the prisoners' condition during the journey.
