I Curious Custom Cvists in Some Port? ! of Mortnis— Authorities Tr> Itttf to Snysimn It, They have a curious way of utilizing wives anil daughters in some parts ol Madras, says Golden Penny. If a man wants money he puts these members ol his establishment in pawn, and his cred itor detains them until the debt is dis charged. The custom varies in different localities. In Nellore the Yerealls pledge their daughters to creditors, who may either marry them or give them away, j and a man who has to go to jail deposits his wife with another man of her tribe j until his return. In North Arcot un ' married daughters are frequently mort gaged, and become the absolute prop erty of the mortgagee until liquidation. In some parts men sell their wives for sums of C5 or so, and have no fur ther claim upon them. rPVio aiitliitrUliiD nu fry M M. t - put down these economical expedients, which, we are afraid, would find l'avor risewhere were they permissible, and we cen fancy the si range aspect of so cial life which would then be presented Thus a man would he heard saying to his wife when a heavy hilt had to be met: "I am afraid we cannot manage without it, myedear: we must pawr Juliana;” or, supposing him to have de posited his wife, he might say to his lit tle child: "If you are a good girl, my dear. I will give you n treat, and take out your mamma.” Under such con ditions children would become "pledges of affection" In more senses than one.
