APPENDIX. 
Q. How many Sepoys or Native officers were confined 
along with you ?— A. About two hundred and fifty were 
confined at one time for a day or two only; seven were 
left in close confinement with us, all of whom died, but 
one, of dysenteries, brought on by irregular supplies of 
food. Sometimes they had nothing to eat for two or three 
days, and then they had too much and ate voraciously. 
(Signed) John Laird. 
The Reverend Mr. A. Judson. 
Q. What is your name, and of what country are 
you a native?— A. My name is Adoniram Judson, and 
I am a native of Massachussets, in the United States of 
America. 
Q. How long have you resided in the Burman domi¬ 
nions ?— A. I arrived at Rangoon in the month of July 
1813, and have resided in the Burman dominions ever 
since, with the exception of two short visits made to Ben¬ 
gal and Madras. 
Q. How have you been generally occupied during 
that time ?— A. For the first six years of my stay, I 
was entirely occupied in studying the Burmese language, 
and framing a dictionary of it; and for the next four in 
preaching the Gospel to the natives, translating the New 
Testament into the Burmese language, with the other 
duties of the Mission. For twenty-one months I was a 
prisoner, out of which I was seventeen in irons. 
Q. Have you resided any time at the Burmese Court ? 
-— A. I have visited Ava, or Amarapura, three times, and 
resided there in all near three years.
