If there is any fault on the part of the latter, in consequence of 
which the servant absconds, the law depends upon the wreng com- 
mitted. Investigation has to be made as to the nature of the wrong, 
which may be of two kinds, either an attempt to do an improper act, 
or the use of stich insulting language as it is not lawful to use. The 
punishment is of two kinds; if there has been an attempt to com- 
mit an indecent act, the penalty isa fine of twelve and a half (tahils P) ; 
if there has been insulting behaviour only, all the property which 
the servant brought must be returned to him (or her) and the opi-

is that his or her property shall be divided into three portions, one 
of which shall go to the person who surrendered his (or her) liberty 
and the remaining two to the person who accepted charge of him (or 
her),
