against Government's action.
From reports received from Moyne, and from
Carter's reis, we learn that those went to the Valley
on this occasion Lacau, Engelbach, Baraize, Mudir,
Marmur, Commandant of Police for district, a member
of the Department of Justice, the a mechanic with
assistants, and 33 soldiers and police, camel corps,
cavalry and infantry. The locks on wooden door
had been sawn out, & those of steel gate filed off.
The tomb had then been entered and <apparently> various dispositions
made therein, as the party remained in it about an hour.
They had then emerged & put government locks on the
doors. After this they moved up to No. 15, but
apparently contented themselves there with filing off locks
and replacing with another or others.
Working all day on White Book.
