4. The Lieutenant-Governor now desires that a full inqidry may be
mad« into the afiair, and you are requested to place the investigadon
in the hands of Mr. Wood, who has been placed in temporaty charge
of the Aurungabad Sub-Division, and to whom orders on the subject
have this day been issued direct. ^

. 5. It must be ascertained what numbers were engaged in the affisdr ;
what temper they showed ; whether it is true that the Factory Gomash- '
tah was left for dead ; what exactly were the injuries which he received ;
what were the particular acts of oppression which, as is now at last
reported, induced the villagers to make this attack upon him, and how
long such oppression had been practised ; what the o?mer or manager
of the factory had done to check, encourage, or instigate such opprea*
sion ; and in whose interest %nd for whose profit such acts were cqpunitted.
6. The stories current and credifed, of oppression in the quarter in
question, are such, that if those connected with the factory are not
culpable, inquiry is due to^them ; and if they are^ it is due to the public
that criminal proceedings should be instituted against the guilty parties.
