The number of persons charged before all courts other than the Constitution (Special Powers) Tribunal during the year 1934 was 99,992, of whom 72,241 were convicted; 497 persons were charged before the Constitution (Special Powers) Tribunal in the same period; of these 451 were convicted. When these figures have been finally checked and the offences classified in the usual categories the results will be published with the official statistics in due course.
