The Delhi Assault Case.

THE Indian press has condemned with just severity the lenient sentence passed upon the accused in the above case.



THE Indian press has condemned with just severity the lenient sentence passed upon the accused in the above case. The Bombay Chronicle says:—“We would venture to suggest that this is eminently a case which calls for the application and enforcement of the article of the King’s Regulations respecting ‘conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentlemen’—more so as Mr. Currie, the Additional District Magistrate of Delhi, has hardly enhanced the prestige of the British community in India by regarding the offence as so trivial as to require only a nominal fine of 25.” It adds:—“The force of public opinion of the British community, as well as the reprobation of his brother officers, should be brought to hear upon the delinquent, who offends much more against his own class and community than against the individual victim of his violence.”
