  Faridpur. 
  — 
  14th 
  and 
  15th 
  July.— 
  The 
  general 
  impression 
  here 
  is 
  that 
  the 
  

   houses 
  swayed 
  in 
  N 
  — 
  S 
  direction. 
  The 
  District 
  Magistrate 
  informed 
  me 
  that 
  the 
  

   District 
  Superintendent 
  of 
  Police 
  had 
  seen 
  the 
  water 
  in 
  a 
  tank 
  move 
  up 
  and 
  down 
  

   in 
  that 
  direction. 
  

  

  Judge's 
  Courthouse.— 
  Walls 
  bear 
  N

  W 
  and

  N. 
  Arches 
  have 
  been 
  

   cracked 
  indifferently, 
  but 
  slightly, 
  in 
  both 
  these 
  directions. 
  

  

  Judge's 
  House. 
  — 
  A 
  very 
  old 
  house. 
  A 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  parapet 
  on 
  the 
  southern 
  

   side 
  of 
  the 
  house 
  has 
  come 
  down 
  in 
  a 
  SSW 
  direction. 
  

  

  The 
  Judge 
  informed 
  me 
  that 
  some 
  bottles 
  which 
  were 
  standing 
  on 
  a 
  rack 
  fell 
  

   down. 
  From 
  his 
  evidence, 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  small 
  fragments 
  of 
  the 
  bottles, 
  I 
  made 
  out 
  

   the 
  direction 
  of 
  fall 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  N 
  29 
  E.

  An 
  arch 
  bearing 
  N

  —

  has 
  been 
  seriously 
  

   cracked 
  at 
  two 
  places.

  Walls 
  bearing

  W 
  have 
  got 
  a 
  large 
  crack 
  at 
  either 
  

   end 
  of 
  the 
  house. 
  Arches 
  in 
  E

  walls 
  have 
  been 
  slightly 
  cracked. 
  

  

  Jail.— 
  Two 
  parallel 
  buildings 
  (wards 
  Nos. 
  f- 
  and 
  f) 
  have 
  been 
  rather 
  badly 
  

   cracked. 
  The 
  walls 
  bear 
  N 
  15 
  W 
  and 
  E 
  15 
  N. 
  The 
  cracks 
  are 
  worst 
  on 
  the 
  

   former 
  walls. 
  

  

  The 
  Postmaster 
  informed 
  me 
  that 
  the 
  shock 
  was 
  over 
  at 
  Faridpur 
  at 
  5-10 
  p.m. 
  

   local 
  time 
  (5-4 
  p.m. 
  Calcutta 
  time). 
  The 
  clock 
  is 
  regulated 
  every 
  day.
