A.G. of the 14th September, complains that the parties attending the District Munsif Court of Nellore are subjected to many difficulties as there is not a sufficient number of clerks in the court As each case is adjourned several times before it is finally disposed, of the parties incur loss in various ways. The munsif himself takes a long time to write his judgment, and it takes even a longer time to get a copy of the judgment as there is not a sufficient number of clerks. It is easy to conjecture how long it will, under the circumstances, takes to execute a decree. The paper, therefore, request the authorities concerned to appoint a few more clerks.
Page 400, Village Pounds
A.G. of the 14th September, complains that many vices are rampant in villages. It has become almost habitual with some of the wicked people amongst the villagers to drive their cattle into the fields and gardens of their neighbours for grazing, that the animals destroy the garden produce and the growing corn. It is therefore necessary that every village should be provided with a cattle pound and that it should be placed under the charge of assistant village munsif. As there is only one pound at present for four or five villages, the ryots experience much inconvenience and trouble.
