Transit Calcutta (1 Oct), Liverpool (5 Feb). Arrived Weston-Super-Mare (7 Feb). Although free Indian postage was offered to the miliary, onward transmission still had to pay Indian postage.

However, both governments rejected the convention and dismissed Elliot and Kishen respectivelyfrom their positions.
