                   Committees and tho Committoo for making modification in the Penal

                   CocbLand the hitting of the appointed Majliosis at random and tho
                   withdrawal of their menwrbers clearly prove that thcro is a strength
                   established by tho people and that any Government with a sincere
                   good will for the benefits of ito peojble aught to co-operuto with

                   und administration ie no bettor than tho judiciary. The Municipal-
