Mr Mahomed Ali''s internment

 WITH reference to the letter from the Hon'ble Chief Commissioner, Delhi Province, intimating that Government declined to accept responsibility for defraying any portion of the expenses of Mr. Mahomed Ali's stay at Mahrauli, the latter has again addressed the Chief Commissioner saying that what he understood his internment to mean was a restraint on his liberty of movement and not in addition thereto a heavy and continuous fine such as his bearing the expenses of his stay at Mahrauli would entail. His internment would, he says, affect his papers and consequently his income would necessitate his maintaining a third household at Mahrauli in addition to those at Delhi and Rampur. He trusts that Government would bear the expenses of the simple life he is accustomed to lead. Finally he asks Government to direct his trial in an open court for such act injurious to public safety leading to his internment which it has reason to believe he has committed. His brother Mr. Shauakt Ali adds that since the internment makes it impossible for him to earn his livelihood, he trusts the Government would reconsider its decision in his favour.
