HISTORY OF BELOOCHISTAN.
307
infidelity of their wives, that a sheep or two is always looked
upon, in cases of discovery, to be an ample offering to appease
the husband's wrath. The code of laws prepared for Beloochistan,
by Nusseer Khan, was introduced into this province, with some
necessary modifications by that Prince, but at his death they ceased
to be respected, and all is now anarchy and bloodshed: each district
has its own system of revenge, and travellers or merchants can only
move from one part of the country to another when accompanied by -
an armed party, sufficiently strong to repel attack. The only trade
carried on from the ports of Mukran, is the exportation of a part
of the annual crops of dates to Bombay, and other parts in the penin
sula, whence the returns are made in articles similar to those specified
in my account of Lus; this commerce is conducted by Hindoos,
who retail the imports by barter to the native Mukranees.
