A few country carts are detainable in and near the sadr station, also in places in the Kunda tahsil. Great reluctance is everywhere manifested by the owners to hiring out their carriage, and when it is known that troops are on the move, and that carriage will be impressed, the carts are frequently taken to pieces, and the latter concealed in different houses, the bullocks at the same time being sent to a neighbouring village. Bullocks, buffaloes, and ponies afford the ordinary means of transport. The bullock is capable of carrying a load of from three to three and a half maunds; a buffalo about five maunds; while the usual load of the country pony or tattá seldom exceeds one and a half maunds.
