Strana 98 - Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay : Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade ; A breath can make them, as a breath has made ;w But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
Strana 38 - Ogres), practical philosophers, who affect to disbelieve that there is any difference between things, and who avow that any difference depends upon the imagination. A cuff or a kick is as immaterial to them as a blessing. They go about in...
Strana 12 - ... searching honest people's houses in terrorem over them. They seize contraband articles ; and extort money from the contrabandists, who are too glad to compromise with them, rather than be sent up to the collector saheb. And the farmer is glad to let them off for what he can screw out of them, because he gets the whole, and has neither the onus nor trouble of furnishing proof of the guilt of the parties. It is only in cases of public seizure, when the farmer dares not suppress the case, that rich...

The late Mr. Brooke used frequently to relate how he was enabled to live up to ten thousand rupees a...

Strana 15 - Misr paused to enjoy my as' tonishment. " Friend, I said, what you have just related gives me the ' highest respect for your abilities. But surely the Sahebs are ' not gulled so readily ? I also have played a few tricks, but had ' no notion of such wholesale consummate art as you mention. ' How were the alleged poisoners punished by the Judge ' Saheb ? " Zubburdust Misr sighed deeply, or affected to do so, and ' continued thus : — I had disbelieved that
Strana 2 - I receive four rupeest a month. I am expected to be smartly dressed, and to be in constant attendance on the Huzur; I must have something to eat during the day, and I cannot come home to my wife for my meals. How then can I keep myself in decent clothing, and feed myself, wife and children, on four rupees a month...
Strana 122 - Amins and learned judges, the system does not work to the satisfaction of the people. As in a piece of machinery having a multiplicity of wheels, the stoppage of a minor wheel will prevent the revolution of the larger ones, so in the machinery of the...
Strana 7 - Perhaps the plaintiff protests that no chuprassi ever went to the village. The Nazir is summoned. On being spoken to, he sends for me, and sharply asks, whether the summons was served or not? I call the prophet to witness, that the plaintiff's allegation is a lie; that I did go for three several days, but that the plaintiff would not indicate the defendant. Upon this, the Saheb issues a warrant of apprehension, which is entrusted to me to execute; and the plaintiff not only pays the tullubana a second...
