affords for the Kings use, and to send persons to Court,
that are summoned. And in the discharge of this his Office, he may
call in the assistance of any man.

[The Liannah.] The next Officer under the Governor is the Liannah, The
Writer. Who reads Letters brought, and takes accounts of all Business,
and of what is sent away to the Court: He is also to keep Registers,
and to write Letters, and to take notice of things happening.

[The Undia.] Next to him is the Undia. A word that signifieth a
lump. He is a Person that gathers the King's Money: and is so styled
because he gathereth the King's Monies together into a lump.

[The Monnannah.] After him is the Monnannah, The Measurer. His Place
is to go and measure the Corn that grows upon the King's Land. Or
what other Corn belongeth to him.

The Power of these Officers extends not all a whole County or Province

which the King allots to his Noblemen and Servants. Over these Towns,
thus given away, neither the forementioned Officers, nor the chief
Magistrate himself hath any Power. But those to whom they are given
and do belong to, do put in their own Officers, who serve to the same
purposes as the abovesaid do.

[Other Officers yet.] But these are not all the Officers; there are
others, whose place it is, upon the Death of any Head of a Family to
fetch away the King's Marrals, Harriots as I may call them; Viz. a
Bull and a Cow, a Male and Female Buffalo, out of his Stock. Which is
accustomably due to the King, as I have mentioned before. And others,
who in Harvest time carry away certain measures of Corn out of every
Man's Crop according to the rate of their Land.

[These Places obtained by Bribes.] These Inferior Officers commonly
get their Places by Bribery; Thei
