any instance, to intrust the proprietors or farmers of land with the dis-
bursement of them.
LXXV. The standard .for fixing the future assessment, mentioned in
Section LXVIII. viz. the jumma of the preceding year compared with
the accounts and information supplied by the collectors, and the recom-
mendation of the Board of Revenue thereon, cannot be applied, however,
to the separated talooks, which have not heretofore paid any jumma
immediately to Government; nor is it to be understood to be applicable to
any instances where the actual produce of the lands may have been ascer-
tained. In all such instances, and in all separated talooks, the jumma of
which shall clearly appear to have been fixed below the general rate of
assessment of the pergunnah wherein they are situated, the assessment is
to be regulated, so as to leave to the proprietors a provision for themselves
and families equal to about ten per cent, on the amount of their contribu-
tions to Government, including the produce of their nankar, or other
private lands, to be annexed to the malguzarry lands, as directed in Section
XXXIX. ; and the talookdars, whose jumma may be raised by virtue of
this rule, are to be informed, that they may sue in the Dewanny Adawlut
the proprietor who fixed their jumma, if they shall think themselves
aggrieved by their payments being enhanced, contrary to the terms of a
grant which the zemindars had no authority to bestow on them.
LXXVI. From this rule, however, are to be excepted all separated
talooks, as well as all lands heretofore paying revenue immediately to
Government, which may have been held at a fixed jumma during the last
twelve years; and the decennial settlement is to be concluded with the
proprietors of such talooks and lands at the jumma hitherto paid by them,
subject to such deduction as may be found equitable on account of the
sayer, resumed or abolished.
LXXVII. The estimated provision for the landholders and their
families, where the assessment may be fixed on the ascertained produce of
their lands, is stated generally at ten per cent, on the jumma payable by
them: but if, owing to any peculiar circumstances, a larger provision
should be deemed necessary, particularly in zemindarries or independent
talooks yielding a small revenue, the Governor-General in Council will
take the same into consideration.
LXXVIII. In carrying into execution the principles contained in
Section LXVIII. it will be necessary to consider, whether the several
charges noticed have been heretofore defrayed by the actual proprietors of
land, independent of their assessment, or by Government, with a view to
determine whether a deduction is to be allowed from their future jumma
to provide for them, or otherwise.
LXXIX. In cases where the charges alluded to in the preceding section
have been defrayed by the actual proprietors of land, independently of
their jumma to Government, they will not, of course, be entitled to any
deduction on account of them; but where they have been heretofore paid
by Government, the jumma must suffer a proportionate diminution, unless
