Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 7613

The case commenced in the Alipore Magistrate’s Court on May 19, 1908 and continued intermittently for a whole year. Mr. Beachcroft, the magistrate, had been with Sri Aurobindo in Cambridge.... The case in due course went up to the Sessions Court and the trial commenced there in October 1908.

The last sentence: “The case... in October 1908” should come after “year” at the end of the first sentence. The preliminary trial (a very long one) took place before Birley, a young man unknown to Sri Aurobindo. Beachcroft was not “magistrate” but judge in the Sessions Court.
