\\ henever complaints against Brahuis have been made by the zamindars—
an they have been made often, the Sirdars of the tribes concerned have been
communicated with, with a view to justice being done, and with the object of
obtaining the restoration of the property stolen, on the surrender of the accused
persons concerned. It has, however, in practice been found, that such applications
n0t effectlve . ExCLlses such as want of proof, the absence
o t e accused persons, and various other subterfuges are made use of. The
zamindars get no redress, while they are subjected to increasing depredations,
and hence the outcry they make. ^ ^

be in the plains. The money should I would propose be handed over to

also send a jamadar with them, I think I can arrange for a iamadar without
calling upon the Sirdars. For the present year the sowars would probably only be
