"The case was heard before Judge J. H. Lemay, in the District Magistrate's Court, when the accused was charged with placing obstacles on the rail- way track with intention to destroy valuable property and endanger hu- man life, The accused immediately pleaded guilty and, after receiving the usual warning from the court, was committed for trial. He asked for a speedy trial before Judge Le- may. Counsel for the plaintiff ad- vised the court that the accused had a rather bad record and claimed that he had previously served one term of two years and two separate terms of four years in jail. : The court commented upon 'the seriousness of the offence insofar as valuable property and scores of lives were threatened, and. pointed out that he was liable for a term of five years, or even a term for life if it were proven that the obstacles had ee: place there intentionally.
