He shall endeavour

perse, or to submit
their dispute to arbi-
tration; he shall pro-

TAMyf. In the eyent of this measure proying insufficient, he shall
endeavour to prevail on the parties to disperse, and either to adjust their

event of such endeavours proving fruitless, the police-officer who may be
present shall declare aloud, that if any person is killed, wounded, or
violently beaten, all persons concerned in the affray will be brought to trial
before the Criminal Courts. The police-officers will at the same time
strive to seize the leaders, or principal offenders; and in the event of their
failing so to do, they will endeavour to ascertain their names and places of
abode, and to collect sufficient evidence, if practicable, from persons
unconnected with the parties, of the circumstances of the affray, the causes
which led to it, and who were the first aggressors; and, after taking these
steps, shall set people to watch the further proceedings of the parties,
and immediately communicate the whole of the particulars to the magis-
trate, who will adopt the necessary measures for bringing the offender or
offenders to condign punishment.
The officers of -police are required to proceed to the spot, as
above directed, and use every precaution to prevent affrays; but they shall
confine themselves to maintaining the peace, and shall on no account take
part with or afford assistance to either side in the dispute ; and darogahs are
strictly prohibited, unless under the special instructions of the magistrate,
from deputing burkundauzes, or muzkooree peons, to defend the property
of either party applying for the aid of the police, on the ground of alleged
apprehension of affray.
AY/M. If the cause of dispute be land or crops, thedarogah, in his report
to the magistrate, shall describe the land contested, or the quantity or
quality of the grain ; and in boundary disputes, where the claims of indi-
viduals may be better explained by a plan of the ground, shall prepare and
transmit with their reports a sketch showing the outline and general posi-
tion of the portions of land claimed by the contending parties.
