officers and soldiers who took part In
the great mutiny, with whom l have

drawn my attention TO the fact that
whereas the British troops found the
remains of thousands of Englishmen
and elderly Englishwomen who had
been massacred by the natives at
Cawnpore. Delhi, Mcerut and other
places, they never found the corpses of

others as an illustration Of this pecu-
liarity.
when order was established after

manner while serving as n common
