n and the spine itself has sustained severe injuries. At the time they were inflicted these wounds must have caused profuse bleeding. The feet bear the marks of cruel treatment. On the right foot are still well visible to-day (nineteen days after wounds were inflicted) _six_ wounds, viz.-- On the heel one wound one inch long; Outside ankle " half-inch long; Front of ankle " one inch long; Top of foot, three inches above the toes, one wound one and a-half inch long. Two small wounds on the upper part of foot. On the left foot the _four_ wounds are of a very severe character, and were produced by ropes cutting into the flesh. One nasty wound above heel, two and a-half inches long. One wound below the ankle, one and one-fourth of an inch long. One wound three inches above the toes, two inches long. One wound on the heel, half an inch long. These wounds have caused the feet to be much swollen, the left foot especially having been considerably injured.

On middle finger a wound one inch long and deep to the bone. On root of middle finger, a wound half an inch long. On small finger, a wound one-fourth of an inch long. On third " " " " On first " " half an inch long. The four fingers are still very swollen. On the right hand there are only _two_ wounds. The first, one half-inch long, on the upper side of the hand. The second, a quarter of an inch long on the second finger. Both hands are aching and much swollen, and the wounds upon them were evidently produced by the heavy iron chain of the handcuffs. On arrival at Taklakot (nineteen days after having been tortured) Mr. Landor is still suffering from strong fever caused by his wounds, and no doubt when they were fresh these must have given Mr. Landor intense pain. His health and strong constitution seem altogether shattered by the sufferings he has undergone. His face, hands and feet are very swollen, and he appears extremely weak; he himself attributed his great exhaustion to having been unable to sleep for nineteen consecutive nights on account of the bad sores on
