Tbe kora is an instrument of 

 severe corporal punishment, like 

 the Russian ^-Hou^ A dexterous 

 hand can inflict death with it at 

 one blow. It is even now used 

 for criminal punishment; but the 

 breast and loins of the person 

 to be flogged are always first 

 covered with a thick leather waist- 



■ coat, to prevent fatal accidents. 



^They work in the fields as labourers 

 1 or prepare cow-leather, a nd make 

 shoes, or carry burthens. They 

 drink arrack, eat cow's-flesh, and 

 I practise other things which the 

 L Hindus reckon abominations. 



r They cultivate the fields and kitchen 



gardens around the town : this is 



a very industrious class. The 



I same remark is applicable to 



^ the two following classes. 



- This class cultivate fields bearing 



I the superior kinds of produce, as 



tobacco, cotton, roses, &c. 



'They cultivate round the town ; 

 also winnow, clean, and grind 

 corn and rice. The wives of 

 the agricultural classes now 

 mentioned share equally in their 

 labours. 



!They are chiefly employed in the 

 transport of grain from the coun- 

 try to the town, and its expor- 

 tation to the provinces on the 

 other side the Ganges. 



On a view of the detailed classification above exhibited, it cannot but im- 

 mediately strike the observation how very backward and imperfect is the 

 subdivision of labour ; and how very few are the trades and manufactures 

 in this, the chief town of the very extensive and populous province of 

 Rohilkfiand. The same remark is indeed applicable to all the principal 

 towns of llindusthan ; the same indisputable signs of deficiency of capital,
