The troops then revolted
against the Baiza Bai, and compelled her to retire to Dholpur. This
event put an end to her political activity. Ultimately she was
allowed to return to Gwalior, and died there in 1862 (Malleson, _The
Native States of India_, pp. 160-4). The author wrote an unpublished
history of Baiza Bai (_ante_, Bibliography).
5. Long since abolished.
6. The law now permits the person injured to be compensated out of
any fine realized.
7. The system of employing gangs of prisoners on the roads was open
to great abuses, and has been long given up. The prisoners are now,
as a rule, employed only on the jail promises, and cannot be utilized
for outside work, except under special circumstances by special
sanction.

no change has taken place in the difficulties which beset the
administration of criminal law. They are still those which the author

exact security for good behaviour from known bad characters still
exists, and, when discreetly used, is of great value.
