In addition to these three officials there are others. One is the Mir Bakhshi, who is in charge of all the cavalry of the empire ; there is another who is placed over all the infantry ; another, called the qazi, who decides cases in the last resort. In spite of having those powers, when he condemns anyone to death he cannot order execution without first reporting to the king three times. Joined with him are always two muftis, who act as judges in cases. If any woman objects to living with her husband and goes to lodge a plaint, he (the qazi) keeps her three days in his house ; and after that interval he pronounces judgment on the dispute between them just as he thinks best. No one can demand the reasons for his acts in that respect, whether his decision be a good or bad one.
