Excerpt: ... moulavy the Government should be solicited to appoint a full magistrate to Serajgunge. Such a large place, and so far from any other civil station might, he thought, most properly be given the advantages of a full magistrate's experience and influence. All the members of the meeting entirely concurred with Mr. O' Gorman.
