-83_Reference-Fourteenth Day^s Proceedings.htm FOURTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. His Lordship resumed the further bearing of the reference in the Alipore Bomb Case. The Advocate-General, continuing his argument against accused Indra Nath Nandi, referred to the correspondence that had passed between this accused and Taranath Roy ghowdhury, and remarked that although the letters were capable of an innocent explanation yet those who knew the language of the "Jugantar” article could read into them their proper meaning.
