No. 76. 



Extract Letter from the Governor in Council 

 at Bombay to the Court of Directors, dated the 

 30th June ISSl. 



We have the honour to forward a sample of Letter from 

 Broach cotton prepared from kupas with a machine so June is'si. 

 used in the southern Mahratta country, termed a 

 foot-roller, and to draw the attention of your 

 Honourable Court to the cotton, which is of a very 

 fine quality. 



2. The advantages which the foot-roller pos- 

 sesses over the churka in common use in Guzerat, 

 consist principally in leaving the fibre straight 

 and uninjured, and in giving to the cotton that 

 delicate and cleanly appearance which can hardly 

 be surpassed. But the expense of cleaning this 

 staple commodity by means of the foot-roller is 

 great, and enhances, as your Honourable Court 

 will observe, the price full sixty rupees per Broach 

 candy above the ordinary raussee.
