aspect .of affairs ,in the. indigo districts was still
serious. The peasantry were threatening all the
cultivators: and expressing their determination
to grow no more indigo. This being just the eve,
of the sowing season, the resolution; if persisted
in, will destroy the prospects of the year, and ruin
the trade altogether. If the situation holds out

had been arrested, sand the military police had
been distributed throughout the district. At one
time` there vas -certainly a prospect- Of, every
indigo-plantar in lower Bengal being ruined.
