| In the nineteenth century, the Caucasus and Central Asia were places of untrammeled brigandage and intermittent rebellion, marked by the rule of unpredictable kings and khans. |
| In February 1801 special criminal courts with wide powers were created to deal with brigandage. |
| But brigandage in Spanish times was very mild compared with what it is now. |
| They are semi-barbarous, and live on the produce of their herds and from the spoil of their brigandage. |
| And it would be but another step in the same direction to legalise brigandage. |
| There are also unnecessary evils, such as brigandage in Sicily, for instance. |
