DUNS IN THE MAHKATTA COTTNTET.
The Mahratta mode of recovering debts is curious. When the creditor cannot get his money, and begins to see the debt as rather desperate, he sits dhurna upon his debtor ; that is, he squats down at the door of the tent, and becomes, in a certain mysterious degree, the master of it. No one goes in or out without his approbation. He neither eats himself, nor suffers his debtor to eat ; and this famishing contest is carried on till the debt is paid, or till the creditor begins to feel that want of food is a greater punishment than the want of money.
