A corruption scandal in 19th century India led to efforts to intimidate Indian witnesses against the accused British official, Arthur Travers Crawford. Litigation in India fueled a political pressure campaign in London producing questions in the House of Commons. Negotiations between London, Bombay, and Calcutta led to a compromise that saw Indians fired from government servants, and while Arthur Travers Crawford stood accused of corruption, he was subsequently absolved of all allegations of bribery.
