The conspirators were aided and abetted by some of the subordinate officers of the Government and this led them to believe that the higher officers were in the dark or indifferent as to what they were about. [...] The jail was entered in the evening between the hours of four and five k And while the wards were being inspected two of the sepoys comprising the escort fell out of the ranks and sat by a drain declaring themselves to be unwell. [...] The judge had intermediately been joined by the magistrate of the district and on the two coming out together shortly after in front of the gate all eyes were directed towards them when a ball discharged from a musket from the direction of the picket guard-house passed between their heads and struck against one of the corner-stones of the j ail just below a sentry on guard on the turret-wall. [...] The evidence of the five old men was that Hfirfin Ghose gave the order to strike down the chowkeydfir and that Rum Sing speared him; and as that was also the purport of the deposition made in articulo mortis by the deceased Ram Sing was convicted on their testimony of having caused Komul's death by a spear-thrust and Huhn Ghose of being an accomplice in the assault and seizure' of the village
