About this book

Excerpt: "Talay?ri.—The Talay?ri (talai, head) or chief watchman, or Udd?ri (saviour of the village), is a kind of undepartmental village policeman, who is generally known as the Tal?ri. Among other duties, he has to follow on the track of stolen cattle, to act as a guard over persons confined in the village choultry (lock-up), to attend upon the head of the village during the trial of petty cases, to serve processes, and distrain goods. In big villages there are two or three Talay?ris, in which case one is a Paraiyan, who officiates in the Paraiya quarter. In parts of the Telugu country, the Mutr?chas, who are the village watchmen, are known as Tal?rivallu, or watchman people, and, in like manner, the B?dars are called Tal?riv?ndlu in the Kurnool and Bellary districts."
