Justice has passed in a case pending in the Supreme Court,
and which has given rise to the Essay by the learned author,,
no new maxim has been introduced, and no custom of Bengal
has been infringed.
In the concluding part of his communication, the learned,
author desires ' that we should divest ourselves of disguise,
and be fairly known to the public by our real names ;" and
with this view he subscribes his own name. I should have
no objection to gratify this desire, had not I known that my
name would be of no consequence to the public, and would
add but little weight to the positions I have advanced. If,
however, my assertions be correct, (and I leave them to be
decided by your judicious readers), the end of my writing,
which was to ascertain the truth of these important questions,
is accomplished.

Your most obedient servant,
a HINDOO.

Sir,
Another article on the Hindoo Law of Inheritance, under
the signature of "a hindoo," having appeared in your
Journal of the 5th Instant, I beg to offer a few remarks on
the matters therein comprised.
Your learned correspondent has filled a large space with
the illustration of his views as to the term " woman's pro-
perty," a subject which is entirely foreign to the main point
in question,* "the full control of Hindoos over their ancestral
* Therefore omitted as irrelevant, but afterwards answered
separately.
