the Mohurrum, which depending on the lunar year, is not fixed to any hurrum^ festivals, and
particular month. The former adjournment (or Dussarah vacation) shall
commence ten days betbre this festival, and continue for the period of one
month of thirty days. The latter adjournment (or Mohurrum vacation)
shall commence on the first day of the month of Mohurrum, and continue
for fifteen days. Under this rule, when the time of the two festivals may

adjournment will be necessary; except as far as the fixed period for the
one year may extend beyond that of the other, as when part of the
Mohurrum vacation only falls within the period fixed for the Dussarah
vacation; or, on the other hand, when part of the latter only may fall
within the period of the former.

in guarding the prisoners under his charge, or in conniving at the escape,
or the attempt to escape, of any prisoner, or of any other act of a criminal
nature in the discharge of his duty, the magistrate shall cause the offender
to be delivered over to the officer commanding the provincial battaiion or
