It is rather an involved agušen. Beginning at the beginning of it, animals are brought into the cattle
depot. Take the case of cattle first, the owner receives
a chit from the tallyman at the gate, a receipt for
the number of cattle he has brought in. Then, when the cattle are removed from the Depot, if they are removed for export, he informs the Assistant Shroff, - the
owner of the cattle informs the Assistant Shroff that
he wishes to export so many cattle. The Assistant
Shroff then makes out an order, which he takes to the
tallyman, who enters the number of animals and the
o mer in his book, and then he takes that order to the
