XLIV. The periodical register which is to be formed in each of the
zillahs in Bengal, Behar, and Orissa, at the commencement of the Bengal,
Fussily, and Willaity year 1207, and at the commencement of every suc-
ceeding five years, is to be prepared from the preceding periodical register,
and the entries in the subsequent register of intermediate resumptions,
with the omission of any grants of land that may have been subjected to
the payment of revenue during the preceding five years, or that may have
been transferred to the jurisdiction of another zillah, and with the addition
of any such grants of land that may have been annexed to the zillah, or that
may have been adjudged not subject to the payment of revenue, or that
may have been admitted upon the register by the Governor-General in
Council under Section XXVI. The materials for each periodical register
will thus be ready upon the arrival of the period for preparing it, and the
register will be completed by the mere transcript of them into the booh,
arranged according to the prescribed form.
XLV. If it shall be proved, to the satisfaction of the judge of the
Dewanny Adawlut of any zillah, that a native officer of a collector, or of
an assistant to a collector, shall have received, directly or indirectly, any
sum of money or ejects, or other property, from any person for registering
a grant under this Regulation, or on account of any matter relating to the
registry thereof, the court shall adjudge him dismissed from his office,
and compel him to repay the money proved to have been taken, with a
line of three times the amount to Government, and costs to the party
suing him, and commit him to prison until he shall have discharged
the amount of the decree, or it shall have been made good by the sale of
his property.
XLVI. If any native servant or dependant of a collector, or of an
assistant to a collector, not being a public officer, shall be convicted before
the Court of Dewanny Adawlut of the offence specified in the'preceding-
section, he shall be compelled to restore the money to the person from
whom it may have been taken, and to pay a fine of three times the
amount to Government, with costs to the party suing, and be confined for
six months; and if he shall not discharge the amount of the decree by
the expiration of the sixth month, he shall be confined until he makes
good the amount or it shall be realized from the sale of his property; and
the collector or assistant is to discharge such servant, and never to employ
him in his public or private capacity.
XLVII. All the rules in this Regulation respecting lands now held, or
that may be claimed to be held exempt from the payment of revenue,
under life grants made previous to the date of the Company's accession to
the dewanny, are to be considered equally applicable to grants made pre-
vious to that date for a term only.
XLVIII. No part of this Regulation is to be considered to annul any
grants for holding land exempt from the payment of revenue, made or
confirmed by the late superintendents of the bazee-zemin dufter in Bengal,
in virtue of the powers vested in them.
