4. Remarks.
The working of the regular panchayats was satisfactory
although several cases had to be returned to them to re-study
issues that were put to them.
in accordance with the stipulation of the
Order in council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
that litigation should be discouraged as far as possible, the
personal influence of the Political ^igent has been directed
to prevailing on parties to compose their quarrels out of
Courts.
Although this has in no way lessened the demand on the time
and patience of the Political itgent, the results have been
eminently satisfactory.
The chaotic conditions prevailing in the local Courts,
where Babel rei-ns and settlements are rarely achieved, have
driven many non-British subjects to seek the redress in the
Court of the rolitical iigent on false pretences, ouch
applications have necessarily been refused. Certainly neither
justice nor speedy settlements can be expected at the nanus
of the Miscat magistracy.
The work of the oourt Dragoman in dealing with several
chestfuls of ancient Court files that were accidentally
brought to light in a dilapidated godov/n merits considerable
praise, entailing as it did hours of extra work wading through
unrecorded cases, in some instances fifty years old.
These old records have now been successfully dealt with
and a fresh system of satisfactory filing is shortly to be
instituted.
I have the honour to be,
air.
Your most obedient servant.
