Mr. Tilak’s Evidence before the Joint Committee.



THE London correspondent of the Mahratta, referring to Mr. Tilak’s evidence before the Joint Committee says: “The members of the Indian Home Rule League had informed the Committee’s Secretary that all of them should be examined. The Secretary replied that the Committee had decided that as a rule only one or at the most two witnesses on behalf of each deputation would be examined, and he therefore could not comply with their request. He, however, asked them to select one of them to give evidence before the Committee. The League’s deputation naturally selected their president, Lok Tilak, as their spokesman, and informed the Secretary accordingly. A question then arose, it is rumoured, in the Committee as to whether they should examine Lok Tilak or not. It is said that the majority was against giving him an opportunity to submit his evidence. But as they could not hit upon a good excuse to prevent him, they had to call him, and he was accordingly examined.”
