Excerpt from Tribal Law in the Punjab: So Far as It Relates to Right in Ancestral Land The plan of the work may be gathered from what has already been said. The Records of Custom were first collected and reviewed in Chapter II, and the judicial decisions were similarly treated in Chapter III. Then Chapter I was written, in which I have attempted to give a short sketch of the Punjab and its tribes, and the social organization of the'country. 1 have then considered what are the general principles which govern this organization, and what are the main features of its Customary Law as disclosed by its Records of Custom and the decisions of its Courts of Justice. I have added some remarks on the light thrown by investigations in the Punjab on the subject of Customary Law generally.
