General Bey non, in the course or his evidence in the O'Dwyer libel case, said he believed the flogging of Indians was justified in certain cases. It was inflicted with the cane, the maximum being thirty strokes. He would not apply London’s standards of punishment to Indian village people. Indians preferred imprisonment to flogging. as they disliked pain, and the gaojs were so luxurious. The difficulty was to keep the Indians out of prisons. General Beynon expressed the opinion that General Dyer acted with absolute honesty at Amritsar. and was punished for purely political reasons.
