Judge Davis, in his Appendix to the Memorial, observes, that the
employment of the more intelligent and energetic Indians as rulers, was
particularly grateful to them. He had often heard of amusing anecdotes of
the Indian rulers. The following warrant is recollected, which was issued
by one of these magistrates, directed to an Indian constable, and will
not suffer in comparison with our more verbose forms.
‘I, Hihoudi, you Peter Waterman, Jeremy Wicket, quick you take him, fast
you hold him straight you bring him before me, Hihoudi.’
