Thus, the *qazi* of Ahmadabad was ordered to present to the *faqirs* and other beggars of the city 150 coats (*qaba*) and the same number of blankets, priced Rs. 1½ and 8 annas each respectively, every winter. (*Mirat.* i. 338.) The amount of Rs. 6000 was spent on the clothing of the poor in that city ; but there were other occasions for charitable gift out of this fund.
