Total 739,288 Law courts.—Omitting the temporary settlement courts, there are six paid and two unpaid magistrates, the latter being landed proprietors in the district. The number of these would be larger, but from the general want of intelligence of the class, it is difficult to discover any one fitted for the exercise of authority. In this respect, the district is exceptionally unfor- tunate. All the above officers have also civil and revenue* powers. There are 391 rural and 15 town police, maintained at a cost of Rs. 46,061; two members of this force are Europeans, the rest are natives. The most dia- tant village is 59 miles from the nearest paid court, but this is perhaps unavoidable. Statistics of the Police of the District of Kheri in 1873. HALA .40 5.4 + 1,200 IP 14.
