any subsequent periodical register, the party in possession is to be regis-
tered as the proprietor.
XLI. If a collector shall have occasion to require from the holder of a
grant any information that may be necessary to enable him to form a
periodical register, or to make the requisite entries in the register of
intermediate resumptions, and such person shall omit to furnish it by the
time required, after having been served by the collector with a written
requisition for that purpose, under his official seal and signature, the col-
lector is to report the circumstances to the Board of Revenue, who are
empowered to impose on such person whatever daily fine may appear to
them proper, on a consideration of his situation and circumstances in life
and of the case, until he shall furnish the information required; unless he
shall prove, to the satisfaction of the board, that it was not in his power
to furnish it. The collector is to levy the amount of such fines by the
process to which he is authorized to have recourse for the recovery of
arrears of revenue. The Board of Revenue are to furnish the collectors
in the several zillalis with such records or information as they may pos-
sess regarding the exempted lands in their respective zillahs, as well to
assist them in preparing the first periodical register and in detecting
frauds that may be attempted to be practised upon them in registering
the grants, as to aid them in ascertaining what lands, now held exempt
from the payment of revenue, are liable to the payment of revenue under
this Regulation.
XLII. The collectors of the several zillahs are to transmit, as early as
may be practicable, to the Board of Revenue, an attested copy of the
periodical registers, both in the English and the native languages, each in
a book of the prescribed size, paged and attested by the judge of the
Dewanny Adawlut of the zillah, in the same manner as the original
register, as directed in Section XXIX., and within one month after the
expiration of the third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth months of the Bengal,
Fussily, and Willaity year (according to the era current in their respective
districts), an attested copy of the entries in the register of intermediate
resumptions that may have taken place during the three preceding
months. [TAc ccAccZw of cacA z?'A%A As' Zo b-uus-wR a R7722A22' copy of

XLIII. The Courts of Judicature, the Board of Revenue, and the
collectors are enjoined to be particularly attentive to the preservation of
the periodical registers and registers of intermediate resumptions, both in
the English and native languages; and they are directed to have the fair
copies of each, which are to be deposited amongst the public records,
bound up with such materials as may be best calculated to prevent their
being destroyed by insects, or otherwise.
