All motor-cars or vehicles of any descriptions will be delivered

NO. 4
By virtue of the powers vested in me I have prohibited the issue
of third or intermediate class tickets at all railway stations in
the Lahore Civil Command, _except only in the case of servants
travelling with their European masters or servants or others in
the employ of the Government_.
NO. 5
Whereas, from information received by me, it would appear that
shops, generally known as Langars, for the sale of cooked food,
are used for the purpose of illegal meetings, and for the
dissemination of seditious _propaganda_, and whereas I notice that
all other shops (particularly in Lahore city) have been closed as
part of an organized demonstration against his Majesty's
Government, now, therefore, by virtue of the powers vested in me
under Martial Law, I order that all such Langars or shops for the
sale of cooked food in the Lahore civil area, except such as may
be granted an exemption in writing by me shall close and cease to
trade by 10·00 hours (10 A.M.) tomorrow, Wednesday, the 16th
April, 1919.
Disobedience to this order will result in the confiscation of the
contents of such shop and the arrest and trial by summary
procedure of the owner or owners.

NO. 7
Whereas I have reason to believe that certain students of the D.
A. V. College in Lahore are engaged in spreading seditious
_propaganda_ directed against his Majesty's Government, and
whereas I deem it expedient in the interests of the preservation
of law and order to restrict the activities of such students, I
make the following order:--
_All students of the said college_ now in this Command area will
report themselves to the Officer Commanding Troops at the
Bradlaugh Hall daily at the hours specified below and remain there
until the roll of such students has been called by the principal
or some other officer approved by me acting on his behalf, and
until they have been dismissed by the Officer Commanding Troops at
Bradlaugh Hall.
07·00 hours. (7 A.M.)
11·00 hours. (11 A.M.)
15·00 hours. (3 P.M.)
19·30 hours. (7.30 P.M.)
NO. 8
Whereas some evilly-disposed persons have torn down or defaced
notices and orders which I have caused to be exhibited for
information and good government of the people in the Lahore
(Civil) Command.
In future all orders that I have to issue under Martial Law _will
be handed to such owners of property as I may select and it will
be the duty of such owners of property to exhibit and keep
exhibited and undamaged in the position on their property selected
by me all such orders_.
