not be held liable for the claim, nor shall they under any pretence whatso-
ever be distrained, seized, sold, or otherwise disposed of by the claimant or
by the court, in satisfaction of his demand.
XXI. Persons instituting- suits in the Dewanny Adawlut against
any of the officers of the agents, or any individuals under engagements on
account of the salt manufacture, and employed therein, are to specify their
being so engaged and employed. If the notice or summons is to be served
during the months of Sawun, Bhadoon, and Assin, it shall be served on
the defendant, in the same manner as on other defendants not employed
in the salt manufacture. If the notice or summons is to be served between
the commencement of Kautic and the end of Assar, the notice or summons,
with a copy of the complaint, shall be enclosed in a sealed cover addressed
to the agent, and superscribed with the the official signature of the judge
It shall be at the option of the agent to execute, or to cause
one of his officers, or any other person whom he may think proper, to execute
the security required from the defendants, in cases in which such secu-
rity may be considered necessary, or to leave the party to find the required
security; and in the latter case, and in the event of the summons being
committed to an officer of the court, if the officer shall entertain doubts
of the responsibility of the surety so offered, and the agent shall declare
such security to be responsible, the officer shall accept the security. If a
requisition of security for appearance should be made, and the agent should
not deem it expedient to order any of his officers or any other person to
become security, and the defendant himself should not be able to find such
security as the agent may deem responsible, the agent is to cause the party
summoned to accompany the officer of the court to the court, or if the
summons shall not have been committed to the charge of an officer, he
shall cause him to be conveyed before the court.
X6C072& The salt agents are to empower their respective assistants,
whether covenanted servants of the Company or European uncovenanted
assistants, and also an authorized vakeel of the Dewanny Adawlut, or any
other person whom the agents may think it proper to station at the place
at which the court may be held, to execute the securities specified in the
preceding clause for persons employed in the salt manufacture. The agents
are to be careful to keep the judge furnished with a list of the persons so
empowered, specifying also the place at which they may usually reside ; and
the judges are authorized, in instances in which they may deem it proper,
either from the distance of the place of abode of the agent from the place
at which the person to be summoned may reside, or other circumstances,
to order the summons to be enclosed to one of the persons so empowered
to become security, instead of transmitting it to the agent himself under
the first clause of this section ; in which case such person shall proceed in
the manner prescribed to the agent where the summons may be sent imme-
diately to him.
If a suit should be preferred in the Dewanny Adawlut against
any of the officers of the agents, or any person under engagements on
account of the salt manufacture, and employed therein, without specifying
that he is so engaged and employed, and a notice or a summons shall in
consequence be ordered to be served on him in the same manner as on
other defendants, between the commencement of Kautic and the end of
