They are such experts that no method of protection against them can be devised except to subsidise them. Consequently every sheikh pays so many of them — six or so for an average N 178 AN ADMINISTRATOR IN THE MAKING [1919 tribe — on condition that if anything whatever is stolen from the tribe they will either produce the thing stolen or pay the cost themselves. The method of assessing the cost is for the man robbed and the head Janabi to go together before a holy man at Kufa ^ and swear a great... oath as to what has been stolen : the Janabi accepts this oath as evidence ! The Government is compelled to subsidise these beauties in towns, just as each tribe does in the country : and here in Umm al Ba'rur I have ten of them who get 30 rupees a month each from me, in return for which, when anyone is robbed, they generally produce the stolen goods, though not always, by means best known to themselves.
Lately, however, things haven't been too satisfactory, and there's been an outcrop of small thefts here, so we had a meeting consisting of eight sheikhs and sirkals (sub-sheikhs), representing the two tribes which surround this town, and all their and our Janabat, nineteen of the finest ruffians you ever saw.
