The comments made in last year’s Report may here be repeated :—
“ It should be noted that there is no question of the slaves—while with
their masters—being kept in durance, shakled with chains, etc.
On the contrary they are generally used for work far removed from
the houses of their masters in date gardens, pearling and so forth.
This means that the great majority of the slaves have ample oppor
tunity for leaving their masters should they wish to, and for seeking
manumission at this
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
, and the fact that such manumission can
be obtained is now widely known throughout the State. ”
