the afternoon of the 11th September. Then I
conveyed him by easy stages to Gunji, where I have a dispensary,
and attended to him. I am a hospital assistant. I sent off
reports to the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner. Chanden Sing
and Man Sing were also in a wretched state. The former had marks
of recent flogging from his waist to above his ankles.

DEPOSITION OF PANDIT GOBARIA, _taken on the 13th day of October_ 1897.
_Solemn affirmation administered by Pandit Krishnanand._

My name is Gobaria; my father's name is Jaibania; I am by caste
Garbial; forty-eight years of age; by occupation trader; my home
is at Garbyang, police station Byans, district Almora.

I heard that Mr. Landor had been arrested and brought down as far
as Rungu, and saw that the Jong Pen of Taklakot was sending men
to divert Mr. Landor by the long roundabout route _via_ the
Lumpia Pass. I went to the Jong Pen and succeeded in getting him
to allow Mr. Landor to be brought to Taklakot. Next morning Mr.
Landor and his two servants with two yaks arrived. Mr. Landor was
in a very bad state--in a dying state. A list of Mr. Landor's
property as received from the Tokchim Tarjum was made. Then Mr.
Landor had a list of things taken from him and not returned made
out. A Tibetan, named Nerba, who was present, admitted that he
had taken part in Mr. Landor's torture and had held him by the
hair. The official who had tortured Mr. Landor was the Galjo
Changjo and a Lama.

Toxem and reported it. I then proceeded to Taklakot in Tibet, to
inquire into the matter. On the 7th September, at Taklakot, I
learnt that Mr. Landor was a prisoner at Dogmar, and that the
