There are 175 bullock-carriages, 

 private and for hire, in the town 

 of Bareilly. They are a sort of 

 covered cart drawn by two oxen 

 abreast, in which the hi;^lier and 

 middling order of natives travel. 



They let out bullocks for the 

 transport of military stores, and 

 of private merchandize. 



* The tribe of Banjaras is very numerous, both in Hindustan and in the Deccan. Those in Roliil- 

 cund are all converts from Hinduism to the faith of Mahomed ; they boast of being originally descended 

 from some of the most noble of the Hindu tribes of Rajputs, as Paivdrs^ ChandclSy Sun/a-vansiy &c. 

 In the Bareilly district, there are calculated to be about 14,000 inhabitants of this description. These 

 people pride themselves on the recollection of the warlike exploits of their Rajput ancestors. Many 

 of them repeat from memory long poems recording their deels of arms, of a period prior to the first 

 Mahomedan invasion, or more than 800 years ago. I have frequently heard them singing these tradi- 

 tionary poems, accompanied by the tambour and guitar. Besides carrying merchandize, the Sanjitras 

 find employment in cultivating lands, and in winnowing rice by contract for the neighbouring farmers. 

 Their conversion from Hinduism was probably effected some centuries ago.
