liauts, by the resolutions passed by the Governor-General in Council on
the 11th of June, 1790. Those resolutions, with the subsequent rules
enacted for the regulation of the abkarry, or tax on intoxicating liquors
and drugs, the abolition of the other sayer collections resumed, and the
compensations to be made to the proprietors and farmers of estates in
consequence of this resumption and abolition, are re-enacted with modifi-
cation, by Regulations XXVII. 1793.
XXXVI. The assessment is also to be fixed exclusive and independent
of all existing lakheraje lands, whether exempted from the kheraje (or
public revenue) with or without due authority.
XXXVII. The above exception, however, is not meant to include the
malikanah lands in Beliar, or the nankar, khomar, neej-joot, and other
private lands of the zemindars and independent talookdars, or other
actual proprietors of land, in Bengal and Midnapore, regarding which the
following rules have been prescribed.
XXXVIII. Where the zemindars, or other actual proprietors of land,
in Behar, have resigned, or have been deprived of the management of
their lands, retaining possession of a tithe, as malikanah, the latter is to be
re-annexed, and the zemindars or other actual proprietors are to be
required to engage for the whole of their estates including the malikanah
lands ; unless such lands be held as malikanah under grants made or con-
firmed by the Governor-General in Council, or the supreme authority of
the country, for the time being, and have been sold or mortgaged, and
given in possession to the mortgagee, in which case they are to be
exempted from this rule. Grants for malikanah lands not made or con-
firmed by the supreme authority of the country, are declared invalid by
the Regulations passed on the 8th August, 1788. If the collectors,
however, should be of opinion that any material injury will be done to
any individual by the execution of these orders, they are to report the
circumstances to the Board of Revenue.
XXXIX. The nankar, khomar, neej-joot, and other private lands, ap-
propriated by the zemindars, independent talookdars, and other actual
proprietors of land, in Bengal and Orissa, to the subsistence of themselves
and families, shall be also annexed to the malguzarry lands, and the ten
years'jumma fixed upon the whole under the following modification ; that
such proprietors as may decline to engage for their lands be allowed the
option of retaining possession of their private lands above specified, upon
the terms on which they have hitherto possessed them, provided they shall
prove, to the satisfaction of the Board of Revenue, that they held them
under a similar tenure previous to the 12th August, 1765, the date of the
grant of the Dewanny to the Company, and have hitherto -been permitted
to keep possession of them, whenever their zemindarries or estates have
been held khas or let in farm, but not otherwise. In the event of such
proof, and of their availing themselves of the option above given to retain
possession of their private lands, a deduction, adequate to the neat produce
of such lands, is to be made from the amount of the allowance fixed for
excluded proprietors by AZAU.j
