The conversation which I heard, passed at the tree.
The prisoner then said, “you must produce me the boy.” Mensa answered, “Had you delivered him to me I would have produced him.”
I was near, when this conversation passed under the tree. Mr. Sturt beat him a good deal.
I think Mohammed Khan did not see me, because I returned from the tree to the bottle khana, when the beating was continued.
Mohammed Khan was not present till the hands of the deceased were tied.
