where Indrachand had been convicted by the
Chief Presidency The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent. Magistrate on the first and
third counts and acquitted on the second
count (that of entering into a contract with,

Rheinische, Glimmerwaren Fabrite of Cologne,
Germany). The Advocate-General said that he
had just received the sanction of the Govern

quittal on this charge, it being considered
desirable in view of the appeal by the accused
against his conviction on the other two charges
that the facts on all three charges should be
before the Court. Justice Fletcher said that
he had read the Magistrate’s judgment and
considered that the second charge seemed clear.
The Court admitted the appeal and directed
that it should be heard with the appeal
against the conviction.
