The more industrious plant considerably in excess of what is required for their neces- sary wants, and they also possess goats and fowls for which they can always find a ready market. The slaves are encouraged by their masters in such respects, as they regard habits of industry and the possession of property as evidence of attachment to the estate, the slave having a personal interest in it. The master has, in addition, a certain guarantee for the honesty and good conduct of the slaves, for, al...though the produce belongs absolutely to the slave, the master has something that he can seize in case of default. The property of a slave is sacred, and no master, however powerful, would dare to deprive him of it unless in cases of delinquency. The slaves are encouraged to contract marriages and live in family, and in the event of their not finding wives on the estate it is customary to purchase those for them to whom they have formed an attachment. The mar- riages are regarded as binding in the same sense as they are amongst the Arabs, but they are not contracted before the Kathi, the master of the estate or his deputy being in the place of and having the same power as the Kathi.
