Un

the title of district judge is hardly appropriate, inasmuch
 as these officers are usually the judges of
more than one district, or in other words of a judicial
 division. In the Punjab, until recently, there
were ten divisions, in each of which the commissioner
 was a civil and criminal judge, as well as
the divisional revenue officer. This has recently
been altered, and the number of administrative
divisions has been reduced to six, while separate
judicial divisions have been created, and the work
of civil and criminal justice has been made over
to a separate staff of divisional and sessions
judges (there are seven civil and ten sessions
divisions).

The judicial agency of this province, stated in
more detail, consists, on the civil side, of (1) the
munsifs of three grades; (2) the subordinate judges
of two grades; (3) the district judges; (4) the divisional
 courts, and (5) the chief court. On the
criminal side there are the magistrate of the district
(deputy commissioner), magistrates of the first,
second, and third classes (assistant and extra assistant
 commissioners and tahsildars); the sessions
judge; and the chief court.
The Central Departments.

ft remains to mention briefly the chief administrative
 departments of government, which are
under central direction, and which do not follow
the district organization.
