3. On the said 26th June, 1915, I was informed by the 

 said Wilmot Arthur de Silva, and verily believe, that when 

 he was arrested on the 2ist June, 1915, he asked the persons 

 arresting 1 him on what charge he was being arrested, and 

 that he was told in reply that all that the said persons could 

 say was that he was arrested under Martial Law, and that 

 the said Wilmot Arthur de Silva has never been informed 

 of any charge against him. 



Signed and sworn to at Colombo on this
