Sir Curzon Wyllie had a very distinguished career, his last

office in India being that of Resident in the West Rajputana States. At the time of his death he held the position of political aide-de-camp to Lord Morley, an office the duties of which he discharged with singular tact and ability. The deepest possible sympathy will be felt for Lady Wyllie, who was in the building when the murder took place. It does not yet seem certain whether Dr. Cawas Lalcaca was killed acci- dentally or by intention, but in any case it would not seem likely that the attack upon him had been planned beforehand.
