I quote here only one extract: "Aug. 24 (1823), Mr. G. has the natives flogged without any examination, trial or usual formality. A friend sends a note to him and says pray flog the bearer and it is done." For other instances of high-handedness see \*Bombay in the days of George IV\*, ed. Drewitt, Longman, 1907. - [Previous: c19.s3.t6.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s3.t6.19) - [Next: c19.s3.t6.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s3.t6.21) - [Up: c19.s3.t6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s3.t6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s3.t6.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s3.t6.20) · Pramāṇa
