It would not be necessary to enforce,' since none would look to challenge, his acts, which, however 'immoral and objectionable' they may be in Mr. Innes's eyes, are not at all immoral, nor in the very least degree objectionable, in the land where Usage is highest dharma.'
The Jubilee Year of their gracious Sovereign would be for ever memorable to the thirty and odd millions of Madras, if it brought with it a resolve of the Government to give practical effect to the wise and sympathetic words she spoke to them, after the Mutiny in which they took no part: 'We disclaim alike the right and desire to impose our convictions on any of our subjects. . . . We will that generally in framing and administering the law due regard be paid to the ancient rights, usages, and customs of India.'
