Excerpt from Mrs. Besant the Alcyone Case Besant, for recovering the guardianship andcustody of his minor sons, the judgment of Justice Bakewell has established his right to the same, but has unfortunately rendered Mr. Narayaniah liable to bear all the costs of the suit, both of himself and of Mrs. Besant. Mr. Narayaniah, who is a retired Tahsildar in receipt of a small pension, and whose other property is of small value, is not in a position to bear the costs of the litigation, at least amounting to Rs. There is an absolutely false and unfounded impression created in the mind of the public by Mrs. Besant that Mr. Narayaniah is largely backed up financially by persons outside India, more especially by Mrs. Tingley of America; on the other hand he is indebted to the kindness of a single public spirited gentleman in Madras for the funds that have been hitherto found necessary to carry on the legal proceedings against a person so influential and wealthy as the President of the Theosophical Society.
