ON FINES.

When a kháçah horse dies, the Dároghah has to pay one rupee, and the Mírdahah ten d., upon every muhur of the cost price; and the grooms lose one-fourth of their monthly wages. When a horse is stolen, or injured, His Majesty determines the fine, as it cannot be uniform in each case.

In the other stables, they exacted from the Dároghah for a single horse that dies, one rupee upon every muhur; for two horses, two rupees upon every muhur; and from the Mírdahah and the grooms the above proportions. But now, they take one rupee upon every muhur for one to three horses that die; and two upon every muhur, for four horses; and three upon every muhur, for five.

If the mouth of a horse gets injured, the Mírdahah is fined ten dáms upon every muhur, which fine he recovers from the other grooms.
