¹ Ins. 315 of 1909 and A.R.E., 1910, part ii, para 34. I do not agree with Mr. Krishna Sastri in his view that the payment of the balance of the criminals’ property for charities in the temples was made ‘in order that these misguided people may, as a consequence, improve in their character and become at least in the future, useful and loyal subjects.’ The king evidently had lost all hopes of them, and the temples appear to have been the residuary claimants of all escheated property that was not taken by the state.
