To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it was not with exceptional classes of crime, but by the ordinary crimes of violence that Oudh was overrun. No man's life, no woman's honour, was safe. The manifold details of murder, and of torture that ended in death, are sickening in their foul brutality, until they begin to pall from constant iteration.
The hands of men like Raghubhar Singh, Bhure Khan, Mahipat and a score others were never idle ;. their places were never long empty, and the inhuman work never slackened. The men whose b...usiness it was to report such matters received a monthly pay of five rupees !
They spent Rs. 300 a month on bribes in order to retain their places ; and it paid them to do it. The Court at Lucknow, therefore, heard little and, except when moved by bribes or loss of revenue, cared not at all. There was no redress. It would not have paid. The stronger man could always rob more, pay more, and promise more. To the events which in those pre-annexation days were of monthly, almost weekly, recurrence there is not a single parallel in the eleven years — 1876 to 1886; and of the graver crime that has formed the subject of the foregoing papers it may safely be said that there is not a single offence which, from the Oudh Government then, would have claimed even passing notice.
