attack from the North is possible and would be in accordance with the habits of the people of the Sun-On district where clan fights have been frequent. Later on I hope that it will be possible to reduce this number.

4. I agree with Mr. May that 4 executive officers are required to control so large a body of men, and I have therefore to endorse his recommendation for the appointment of an Additional Assistant Superintendent at a salary of $300 a month with free quarters or an allowance in lieu thereof, an allowance for conveyance of $360 per annum, and forage for one horse. I am advised that it will not be possible to obtain the services of a competent officer on less favourable terms than those mentioned.

5. In the event of your approving this new appointment, I propose to approach the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab with a view to the selection of a suitable candidate.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Most Obedient

Humble Servant,

Hung Adale

GOVERNOR &C.
