The Coorg Code (1893)

The Coorg Code is a book written by Frederic George Wigley and originally published in 1893. It is a comprehensive guide to the laws and customs of the Coorg district in southern India, which was then a British protectorate. The book contains detailed descriptions of the legal system, including the various courts and procedures used to settle disputes. It also covers topics such as property rights, marriage and divorce, and criminal law. The Coorg Code is an important historical document, providing insight into the legal and social structures of a region that was relatively unknown to Europeans at the time. Wigley's work is based on extensive research and interviews with local officials and residents, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of Indian history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
