A BENGAL PROTEST. GOVERNMENT’S DEFENCE. Press Association*—By Telegraph—Copyright. DELHI, January 27. (Received January 28, at 10.40 a.m.) Despite the Government’s opposition tho Bengal Legislature carried by sixty-six votes to forty-five a Swarajist resolution urging tho release of seventeen men who have been detained without trial. The supporters of tho_ motion criticised the Government’s action in interning men without trial, and with failing to submit to cross-examination the evidence against them. It was maintained that a conspiracy was provoked, and that tho ordinary Government law was not available. The Governm nt know that the revolutionaries were establishing centres in various parts of the province in the guise of philantropic organisations. Some of the leaders were in touch with the agents of the Moscow Third Internationale, which supplied money and arms. The revolutionaries possessed weapons and considerable ammunition, which wore not procurable in India, and last year the existence of a definite plot to assassinate police officers was discovered. The Government considered that its action was imperative.
