Travelling In Ancient India.

Journeys in India century ago were

Injuries. 1t was naturally a serious
business to get to and from Europe, and
masters of sailing vessels were, it seems,
inclined to make their charges exorbi-
tant to their luckless passengers. The
honorable East India company, in its
paternal relation to its servants, issued
warnings, commands and regulations
on the subject, but apparently with lit
tie result. AT last table was drawn
up. wherein it was stated that, while
general officers should pay $3.50 for their
passage, an ensign should only pay
e1O5 and a cadet e70. Commanders
were warned that if by any ways or
means, directly or indirectly, they
should take or receive further sums of
money for the same they should pay to
the company, for the use of the Poplar
hospital, treble the sum so taken.-
