----------------------------------------------------------------

On the whole it would appear that book in the present case discusses subjects which are bound to be discussed in a work of this kind if it is to fulfil any useful purpose and although some of these subjects are not such as are ordinarily discussed in polite society, they are dealt with in the book in quite restrained and sober manner and it may here be mentioned that in de- fence a number of respectable persons including a former Minister in Punjab Government, a former Public Prosecutor, a re- tired Deputy Commissioner of Criminal Tribes and a retired Civil Surgeon have appeared, and stated that they did not con- sider that the book was objectionable, and that it was in fact one which they would recommended to young married men.

Accordingly Appeal (of the Crown) dismissed.
