Beg. XI. of 1335, or the
press law, applied in as many svords to the Tenasierim
pr"inees• They were held so to apply, though, having
tahwav distrtlit apparently of Captain Durand's judgment,e nengal Government required the Commissioner to
explai•
n to the parties concerned in printing, the con-
struction of that Government. The Government Order
was notified Li the proprietor of the Moulmein Ch, oniele,
Abren, who finding that he had for some time
rendered himself amenable to the pains and penalties
avvelt on in the Act, proceeded, with as little loss of time

_ fault had been that his paper bad issued a single day
without the name of the printer (he having none) being
_attached to the foot of the print. That single appear

n de-
an°,,aace the obnoxious journal and its illegal proceedings,
f.tsuit was ae•ordingly filed against them. Instead

one might imagine, a trifling mulct being laid on
tenr'Fbreach of the law, impossible to be evaded, a s n-

We Y law, two years' imprisonment and 5,000 rs. fine.
Must, therefore, conclude that the proprietor of the
