General in Council passed on the 18th February, 1789, and the 24th
December, 1790. Those invalids are dispersed in different parts of the
country, receive no pay, are under no military control, and are entirely
unconnected with the service. They are to be considered as tenants of
the landholders in whose estates they are settled, and are subject to the
jurisdiction of the Civil and Criminal Courts of Judicature, in the same
manner as other individuals. To secure them and their heirs in the pos-
session of the lands which have been made over to them, the collectors are
to apply to the zemindars to grant them pottahs, confirming the land to
them and their heirs as pottah talooks, agreeably to the terms of the above-
mentioned Regulations, under which they received the lands, and which,
as far as they regard the provinces of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa, are
hereafter inserted, as the rules by which all questions regarding any such
grants as may have been made are to be decided.

waste land for the invalids as may be brought into cultivation with the
least difficulty and at the smallest expense, and the quality of which
may be such as to afford a produce adequate to the labour of the
tillage; and that they be contiguous to parts of the country now in a state

rent-free for life, without being subject to any tax or demand whatever.
