Justice Norman was just ascending the stairs to the hall of justice, when the murderer, who had approached him under the pretext of wishing to present him with a petition, gave him two fatal wounds with a knife. The Judge, who was uni- versally esteemed, died on the following morning ; and in the cry of horror which echoed through the whole English press, the same verdict, though variously worded, might ever be read, namely, that ''at the next attempt to overthrow our(^>., British) rule in Indi...a, which sooner or later must happen, the Mohammedans would at any rate play the principal part" — certainly no rose-coloured conviction as to the future of the so-called Indian Em- pire. And, with such perceptions, will they, lulled in the sleep of security, await the approach of the Rus- sians on the Indus } with forty millions of restless spirits, who for the most part represent the proletariat of India, — for the lazy Indian Mohammedan has only to be idle under the native Mussulman Government, and nevertheless can live, — will they enter into a contest with such a power as Russia } English statesmen might spare themselves the trouble of trying to persuade us to believe such fables.
