116. If any of the Peons belonging to the Fort should accompany the Bukshee, Fogedar, or Sepadar, a distance not exceeding 20 Kurohs, to any place within the district, in war time, as escort, there is no occasion to give them diet-money; but if this distance is exceeded, they are, each man, to be allowed 5 Fanams. And also if they should be sent to fight or as guards beyond the limits of the district, to a distance of 20 Kurohs, they are each to be allowed 7 Fanams*, which you are to pay upon its being ordered from your Dewan Cutchery.
Out of the unarmed Peons in your district, 6 men are ordered for every Dooley with 3 Korraries* and 2 Cotias*: the bottoms of the Dooleys are to be made with the Boha rope. In this manner they are to be kept in readiness; and whenever an order comes for them from the Huzzoor, they are to be furnished immediately. A similar order has been given to the Kelladar, and you are to see that he obeys it.
118. No respect is to be shewn to persons who are born of slave-women and of prostitutes; and they are not to be associated with. They are moreover not to be taught to read and write. Teachers are to be forbid to instruct them; if any one shall instruct them, his tongue is to be cut out. Porsons of the above description may marry amongst themselves, but shall not be permitted to marry into respectable families.
119. If any person, whether before marriage or after marriage, shall keep a prostitute or female slave, you shall, after ascertaining the fact, take the slave for Government; and if any person objects to it, he will be punishable.
120. A scrap of paper is not to be trodden upon: this injunction is to be particularly attended to; whenever scraps of paper are found they are to be buried in the earth.
121. Heretofore all persons have been accustomed after meals to wash their hands with flour of vetches, &c. and to rub their bodies with it when bathing: this is very improper, and it is forbid in future; and in place of flour of vetches, it is ordered that they shall use flour made of Nagur-Mootha*; and all men are enjoined to obey this order.
