inter£ereuce with it by the Turkish'sanitary staff, the Mujtahids appear
from this point onwards to have modified their tone. They had already
been persuaded to issue a fulmination against the " Habl-ul-Matin " a
Persian newspaper published at Calcutta, of which the political views
corresponded with their own, and in which what purported to be a

Government of India holding it to be clearly proved, a fine of $150
