Indexer  (1) A Kazee, or Kázi, was a judge and registrar of marriages and divorces, holding a high place in Musalmán communities. (2) The author, Minden J. Wilson, was citing C.E. Buckland’s work, Bengal under the Lieutenant-Governors, Vol. I, (Calcutta: S.K. Lahiri & Co., 1901), chapter I, “Sir Frederick James Halliday, K.C.B.”, pg. 47: “The arduous task of preserving order in the district of Saran was committed to Kazi Ramzan Ali, who was authorised by the Commissioner to exercise magisterial powers until the return of the constituted authorities. The Kazi was left in charge of the district for a fortnight, and the Commissioner reports that during that period, he ‘faithfully performed the duties allotted to him, and under very trying circumstances continued to preserve order and tranquillity.’ We trust you at once conferred on the Kazi some substantial mark of your approbation of services of so devoted a character at a very critical juncture.”
