provinces respectively, the settlement was to be made for one year only,

LXVIII. Infixing the amount of the assessment, thejumma of the
preceding year, compared with the accounts and information supplied by
the collectors, and the recommendation of the Board of Revenue founded
thereon, is to be the standard, under the following considerations.
LXIX. If the Board of Revenue shall have reason to believe that the
accounts furnished of any particular district or districts are materially
defective, that more accurate information of their actual produce is neces-
sary, and that it can be procured without having recourse to hustaboods
and measurements, which have been prohibited, the decennial settlement
of such districts is to be postponed,
LXX. No abatement from the jumma of the preceding year is to be
allowed, without the special sanction of the Governor-General in Council.
LXXI. Any occasional diminution of the jumma which it may be
necessary to allow on account of casualties of season, is to be restored by
a russud, or progressive increase ; but no russud shall be established to
extend beyond the third year of the settlement, except in the separated
talooks, and other petty mehals, in which the Board of Revehue may
allow a further extension of the russud, if it shall appear to them expedient,
LXXII. The settlement is to be made, as far as possible, in one neat
sum, free from any charges of moshaira, zemindarry amlah, poolbundy,
cutcherry charges, or others of a similar nature; it being intended, that
all charges incidental to the receipt of the rents of the lands, and inde-
pendent of the allowances of the officers of Government and expenses
attending the collection of the public revenue, shall be defrayed by the
proprietors from the produce of their lands.
LXXIII. In every possible case, all separate allowances to the families
and connections of the proprietors of land are to be abolished, and the
provision for their maintenance is to devolve upon the proprietors.
LXX IV. With respect to any of the existing established zemindarry
charges, such as pensions, charitable or other allowances, which it may be
thought proper to continue, they shall be paid by the collectors, and the
proprietors and farmers of land are to have no concern in them ; unless, for
special reasons of convenience, it should be deemed more expedient, in
