Tour of India proposal prompts reconsideration request
Frank Tarrant, acting for the Maharajah of Patiala, seeks the Board of Control’s reconsideration of its rejection to tour India with Australian cricketers. He argues the trip won’t affect Sheffield Shield or South Africa tours, names potential players, and says the trip would be a relaxed, well paid holiday for participants. He awaits responses from players invited from India and Australia.

Scalded Warder Prisoner Faces Stricter Bondage
A scalding incident at Yatala Labor Prison led to Angus McLeod receiving six months added to his existing two year sentence for larceny. He also drew two months solitary confinement, with one month immediate and one after a five month interval. Warder Stratman was struck by a bucket of boiling water in the kitchen fracas, while another warder was wounded on the heel. Evidence noted prior feuds between McLeod and guards, and a baton was reportedly thrown in the cells. Edward Cecil Coombs, 23, was mentioned for ingested metal, but not linked to the fracas before the justices. The judges stressed deterrent action to curb further breaches.
