The Cravates or Croates soldiers (1661) wore a band of stuff around their throats to support an amulet they wore as a charm to protect them from sabre cuts.

THE Straits Times of the roth inst, states that "the local bangman, Abna Verrah by name, died on Wednesday last after thirty years of service.
