District Duties: During the Revolt in the North-West Provinces of India, in 1857; With Remarks on Subsequent Investigations, During 1858-59 (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from District Duties: During the Revolt in the North-West Provinces of India, in 1857; With Remarks on Subsequent Investigations, During 1858-59 No excuse is offered for bringing forward some defects in the old native army in Bengal. I was long engaged in the investigation of the cases of mutineer sepoys, and a few of the errors that became apparent in the course of these investiga tions are referred to, with the hope that the remarks may be useful in guarding our Indian empire against total wreck on the very rocks on which it has once already grounded.
