ABSTRACT
Burma will be, in all likelihood, the last important province to be added to the Indian Empire. As to the administration of justice between man and man and the security of life and property, there was no doubt little refinement of law and not always impartiality in the judges. As regards excise administration, in accordance with the custom of the country the sale of opium and of intoxicating liquors to Burmans was prohibited. In 1889 a regulation declaring the law relating to rights of land and formulating a complete system of revenue law for Upper Burma was framed in Burma, and passed by the Governor-General in Council. The Government of India had treated Burma with generosity in the matter of money for public works. The provision of medical aid for the people was taken in hand energetically, under the guidance of Dr. Sinclair, who administered the medical department of the whole of Burma.
