[The Officers under them.] Things thus standing with them, they cannot go in Person to visit and oversee their several Charges themselves.  They have therefore several Officers under them to do it.  The chief of whom is the [Courlividani.] Courlividani.  This person beside his entertainment in the Countrey unto which he is sent to Govern under the Dissauva, hath a due revenue, but smaller then that of the Governour.  His chief business is to wrack and hale all that may be for his Master, and to see good Government, and if there be any difference or quarrel between one or other, he takes a Fine from both, and carrieth to the Governour, not regarding equity but the profit of himself and him that imploys him.  But he hears their case and determines it.  And if they like not his sentence, they may remove their business unto the Governour himself, whose desire is not so much to find out the right of the cause, as that that may be most for his own interest and profit.  And these carriages cannot reconcile them much love among the people; but the more they are hated by the people for their rigorous government, the better they please the King.  For he cares not that the Countrey should affect the Great men.

The Dissauva’s by these Courlividani their Officers do oppress and squeez the people, by laying Mulcts upon them for some Crimes or Misdemeanors, that they will find and lay to their Charge.  In Fine this Officer is the Dissauva’s chief Substitute, who orders and manages all affairs incumbent upon his Master.

[Congconna, Courti-atchila.] Next to him is Congconna, An Overseer.  Who is to oversee all things under the Courlividani.  But besides him, there is a Courti-A-chila like our Cunstable, who is to put that in execution that the Governour orders, to dispatch any thing away that the Land 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 over, but to a convenient part or division of it.  To wit, so much as they may well manage themselves.  And there are several sets of the like Officers appointed over other Portions of the Countrey.  As with us there are divers Hundreds or Divisions in a County.  To each of which are distinct Officers belonging.
