WUDDURS

Wuddiwars, probably from their habits of living apart from ordinary village communities, and constant change of location, have, it appears by Colonel Harvey's reports, fallen under suspicion of dacoity; but no instances are given of their commission of this crime, and the idea may be altogether imaginary; and to all appearance they are singularly free from crime of any kind—a sun pie, industrious people, depending only on their labour for maintenance.
