Contested deletion edit

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) It's borderline, but he was deputy district commissioner in the Punjab who investigated a notable attempted murder allegation by Henry Martyn Clark against Ghulam Ahmad. --In ictu oculi (talk) 03:34, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Letter 1939 M W Douglas edit

A scanned image of a letter has been included. Douglas vividly remembered the case and wrote to the Ahmadiyya Missionary (in reply to his query): 29th July 1939 United Service Club Pall Mall S W 1 Dear Imam sahib, The case against Mirza Ghulam Ahmad might have been tried, either in Amritsar or Gurdaspur District. It was transferred to Gurdaspur; and I tried it at Batala in 1897. The evidence was false; and thus I acquitted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. (*******Signed*******) [Montagu William Douglas]

(I have received this letter on 31th July 1939 by post) (signed J.D.Shams)
