The Ivory Trail

CHAPTER SIX
23/106

A drunken Muhammedan was fined five rupees, and a Hindu was ordered to remove his garbage heap before noon.

Three natives were ordered to the chain-gang for a week for fighting, and a Masai charged with stealing cattle was remanded.

The police officer acted as prosecutor.

Outside of which he saw a buck hanging (buck produced in evidence); that he had entered the hotel, found me at breakfast, and that I had not denied having shot the buck.
