DEWAS, two native states of India, in the Malwa Political Charge of
Central India, founded in the first half of the 18th century by two
brothers, Punwar Mahrattas, who came into Malwa with the peshwa, Baji
Rao, in 1728. Their descendants are known as the senior and junior
branches of the family, and since 1841 each has ruled his own portion as
a separate state, though the lands belonging to each are so intimately
entangled, that even in Dewas, the capital town, the two sides of the
main street are under different administrations and have different
arrangements for water supply and lighting. The senior branch has an
area of 446 sq. m. and a population of 62,312, while the area of the
junior branch is 440 sq. m. and its population 54,904.

DEWBERRY, _Rubus caesius_, a trailing plant, allied to the bramble, of
the natural order Rosaceae. It is common in woods, hedges and the
borders of fields in England and other countries of Europe. The leaves
have three leaflets, are hairy beneath, and of a dusky green; the
flowers which appear in June and July are white, or pale rose-coloured.
The fruit is large, and closely embraced by the calyx, and consists of a
few drupules, which are black, with a glaucous bloom; it has an
agreeable acid taste.

DEW-CLAW, the rudimentary toes, two in number, or the "false hoof" of
the deer, sometimes also called the "nails." In dogs the dew-claw is the
rudimentary toe or hallux (corresponding to the big toe in man) hanging
loosely attached to the skin, low down on the hinder part of the leg.
The origin of the word is unknown, but it has been fancifully suggested
that, while the other toes touch the ground in walking, the dew-claw
merely brushes the dew from the grass.

D'EWES, SIR SIMONDS, Bart. (1602-1650), English antiquarian, eldest son
of Paul D'Ewes of Milden, Suffolk, and of Cecilia, daughter and heir of
Richard Simonds, of Coaxdon or Coxden, Dorsetshire, was born on the 18th
of December 1602, and educated at the grammar school of Bury St Edmunds,
and at St John's College, Cambridge. He had been admitted to the Middle
Temple in 1611, and was called to the bar in 1623, when he immediately
began his collections of material and his studies in history and
antiquities. In 1626 he married Anne, daughter and heir of Sir William
Clopton, of Luton's Hall in Suffolk, through whom he obtained a large
addition to h
