either by oa^A, or in any other mode which the court may deem satisfac-

directed in those clauses.
AY/7A. In the several cases specified in the second and third clauses of
this section, the complainant, if the engagements which he may have
entered into on account of the manufacture be not completed, shall not
quit the place of manufacture, to prosecute his complaint in person, with-
out the permission of the head officer of the aurung under which he may
work, or of the agent or assistant, but shall employ a vakeel for that pur-
pose, unless he shall offer to substitute a person to perform his work in his
room, and the agent or his assistant, or the head officer of the aurung, shall
be of opinion that the work will be equally well performed by the person
so offered to be substituted; in which case the agent or his assistant, or
officer, shall permit the complainant to depart.
NTr^A. The agents are authorized, in cases in which they may deem it
advisable so to do, to undertake the defence of any suit that may be insti-
tuted in the Dewanny Adawlut against their assistants, or any of their
officers, or other persons employed by them in the business of the manu-
facture ; but in such cases the agent himself is to be considered as respon-
sible for the decree of the court.
Xdvgy^A. During the months of Sawun, Bhadoon, and Assin, molun-
ghees, labourers, and all other persons having entered into engagements
on account of the salt manufacture, or having been employed in it, who
may consider themselves aggrieved by any acts done by the agent or his
assistant, or any of his officers, or other persons employed by him, in
breach of this Regulation, or any other Reguiation, 2272^ p^JAAg^
bz z*A6 Jb'gcAz/ 272 AfZA 1793, are declared to have the
option of suing, either in person or by vakeel, the party from whom they
may have sustained the injury, in the Dewanny Adawlut, without pre-
ferring the previous application for redress, directed in the preceding
clauses of this section to be made during the manufacturing season; and
further, with a view to insure the molunghees, labourers, and other per-
sons engaged in the manufacture or transportation of salt, speedy redress
of injuries they may sustain, the courts are required to bring the suits
instituted by the said persons for injuries sustained by them from the
officers aforesaid, to a termination as expeditiously as possible, by trying
them in preference to other suits: provided, however, that nothing in the
six preceding clauses shall be construed to empower the Courts of Judica-
ture to take cognizance of acts done by salt agents, in virtue of the judicial
powers vested in them by this Regulation, in respect to fines, confiscations,
and other penalties prescribed for cases of illicit dealings in salt.
XIV. To prevent persons who may voluntarily receive advances and
give a receipt for the amount, afterwards declaring that they were com-
pelled to receive the advances (or in order to get released from their
engagements), the courts, in the event of any complaint being made to
them by or on behalf of a molunghee, labourer, or other person, that he
was compelled to receive advances, are directed, excepting in cas6s in
which they may have full and satisfactory evidence before them that com-
pulsion was used, to consider the receipt as evidence prima facie of the
advances having been voluntarily received, and they shall not release the
