*INDIAN BOOTY.

(From the Bombay Courier, Dec. 18, 182.:1.)

„ .
We learn from an authentic source that the
„Fropecty taken at Kittour is estimated at about
--twelve Lacs of rupees.
We, cannot refrain from stating, that it is much
to be regretted, on occasions like this, that the
restrictive orders from the authorities in Eng-
land regarding Prize ..Property, forbid an early
d;stribution of it among the troops, by whom
it has been gallantly won ; and it is much to
be wished that the Governments in this coun-
try were, in all cases of undisputed Prize, en).
Towered to authorize an immediate distribu-
tion, ittSte;,4 of deferring it for years, as is
the case. at—present, when, by the course of na.
tare, many of the original claimants have been
laid
I t snay not be uninteresting to. many of -our
readers to be made acquainted with the order
on this subject, and through the kindness of a
friend, who has often assisted us on similar oc-
casions we are enabled to lay it before them.
hC. All Booty captured from an enemy by the
Company's Troops alone becomes the property
sr t•I the Company by virtue of the letters Patent
scam the Crown dated 14th January, 1753. All
llooty captured from an enemy by a Force of
his. Majesty's troops form a part, is the
property of the Crown, and no right to any part
• of hucb•booty is in either case vested in the troops
captiiriug. it, except by special grant from the
Court of Directors in the first case or the Crown
su lite second. The Court, therefore, have posi-
tively directed, that no booty taken from an
eumuy should be called or considered as lawful
Trite, or the proceeds thereof in any way appro-
priated or distributed without their previous sanc-
tion (or that of the Crown in cases where the
3.-toyal sanction is legally requisite), but that all
such booty, or the value arising from the sale of
it, be set Apart and deposited in their Treasures,
and a correct account taken of it and transmitted
to Aran by the earliest practicable opportunity,
to await their decision, or the decision of the
Crown, as the rase may require.”
After the fall of Kittoor, the particulars of
which were announced in our Extra, published
on Thursday evening, we learn that part of the
force, under Colonel Sealey, was detached to
••-..Shumshurgurh, a Fort in the Jungle to the west-
ward, which had -been occupied by some of the
party who escaped from Kittoor, but we under-
stand it teas afterwards recalled, on information
being received that it would be given up without
opposition.
