should at the desire of either party he resorted to, for ascertaining the
whole extent of ground in cultivation. But, on the contrary, where the
aumeen of the aumil, in the mode termed kunkoot, should proceed with
the gowro, or estimator, and the gomastah of the canongoe, and these two
last-mentioned ofhcers, with the consent of both parties, should estimate
the produce of the crop on an inspection of it without measurement, the
taking the difference of the rod was neither necessary nor proper, the
whole produce being estimated without reference to the extent of the
begah. All parties were required to attend to the letter and spirit of these
prescriptions ; and in conformity thereto it wns further signified to them,
that where the crops were estimated in the mode termed danabundy kun-
kooty, that is, where the revenue is assessed according to the gross produce
without a measurement of the ground, the kesraut, or difference between
the old and newly-established rods was not to be taken, as in these
instances the revenue payable to Government was not calculated on the
extent of the ground, but on the gross quantity of the produce. It having-
appeared also that in the old nuls or lettas (measuring-rods or ropes) the
ryots had been defrauded by the aumils unduly shortening them, by sub-
tracting from their length the mour orloops at each end, it was ordered
that, in ascertaining the difference between those new and old nuls or
lettas, the full length of the old ones should be allowed in favour of those
who pay the revenue, inclusive of the mour or loops.
VI. The rules passed on the 25th June, 1788 (as contained in Sec-
tion III.), were approved by the Governor-General in Council, on the
3rd of October of the same year, as preparatory to the establishment of a
more regular system of assessing and collecting the revenue. With a
view to the introduction of this system, the resident was at the same time
authorized to take upon himself the entire formation of the settlement
for 1196. This settlement was accordingly made principally on the (1788-9.)
grounds of the reports of the canongoes, and their estimates of'the actual
produce from the assul and abwaub, as the same stood in 1187, Fussily (1779-80.)
(the rates of which year were declared to be the standard according to
which the payments of the ryots were to be regulated in future), and the
same accounts for 1195, or the latest assessment. These accounts, exhibit- (1787-8.)
ing the assets of those two years, were compared with the douls or
estimates of the assets of the then current year 1196, as delivered in by
the canongoes. From these douls, the dehyek, or allowance of ten per
cent, to the aumil as his profits, and the charges of mofussil management,
the several articles of deduction and remission coming under the heads of
maafy and mujray, the amount of the nankar or allowances of the canon-
goes in the lands assigned to them in each pergunnah, and the half of the
former bhuray (i. e. the moiety thereof allowed to the aumils for charges
of remittance), being severally deducted, the residue of the gross assets, as
contained in the doul or estimate of the canongoes, constituted the sum
to be paid by the aumil to Government.
VII. The other moiety of the bhuray mentioned in the preceding sec-
tion (which had previously been collected on behalf of Government),
together with the article of nuzeranah and russoom khazanah, &c., were
abolished in the course of the arrangement of the settlement of this year,
