COLONEL FINED
STRUCK AND SHOOK HINDU OFFICIAL Lieutenant-Golonel F. V. Pogson, who was charged in the Esplanade Police Court with assaulting a Hindu postal official named Akolkar on January 16, has been fined 40 rupees (about £3), says a Bombay telegram to an English paper. It was alleged that the wife of Colonel Pogson, an officer in the Indian Army Service Corps, complained to Akolkar of the way in which he had affixed stamps to her letters, and that, as he had declined to affix them afresh, she fetched her husband, who was said to have struck and shaken the man. Colonel Pogson denied the assault, and said Akolkar maintained a defiant and insolent attitude toward him.
