CASE OF J.O I'EF; PERSAUD.-
The Earl of ELLEN BOROLIii t:1 moved for the pro-
duct on of the cha, gas ag'ii"" J'llFe Peraud' an
army
contractor in India, and of the v edict given on the trial.
Jotee Persaud vvas no ordinary person. His
fa her had long bet n count coed with the Indian
Government, sold Jotee Persaud had continued
to take coutrac-s for the supply of the Indian
army. He bad contracted to find the army
of the Sutltj, and never had army been better provided,
and in the la-4 war tu the Punitub ha had contracted
to provide the army in provisions and horses, and that
army was always well supplied, whilst the en. my had
been compelled to surrend,r for want of provisions. He
wa3 always at headquarters and bad agents in all patty
of LEWIN...N. r whose cooduet of course he could not ex-
ercise any control. He was a man of gentlemanly
deo:lest:l(4lr and had performed great services, yet at
the end or the war he had had charges
of the gravest character brought against him. Now,
nothing could be more dangerous than to bring grave
charges again,t a man who bed performed great services
wi.hout belt g very certain that such cha•ges cou;,
proved. Nowt,e stared up •r 1 the most high au. hority, that
it would have been very difficult Co carry on, operations
aff,totnally tf Jutet, Persand had not had the manage-
merit of the c..matipsariat. The charg.s against Jotee
Persaud bad bean referred to the military authorities,
and they had reported that those oh ire* were frivolous
and vexation., and bad recommended that they should
not be followed up.
