circumstances of the case, ali parties concerned in broils, affrays, murders,
or other breaches of the peace.
VgMzV. To obey all summonses or orders issued on the part of Govern-
ment, on pain of incurring forfeiture of property, as for rebellion.
XV. On the conclusion of this permanent settlement, new
engagements were also entered into with the aumils. By these engage-
ments their office was declared to be that of hakim or magistrate, and
tehseeldar, or collector of the revenue ascertained by the pottahs issued to
the village zemindars and farmers to be payable from their several aumil-
darries ; and they rendered themselves responsible for the regular realizing
the amount of this revenue, and bound themselves to abstain from levying
any excess on their own account, to enforce the several stipulations with
the landholders and farmers as set forth in Section XIV., and to cause the
village zemindars to issue pottahs to their ryots in conformity to the
Regulation of the 25tli of June, 1788. They were also vested with a dis-
cretionary authority to diminish, or to admit to be lowered, the revenue
(1779-80.) rates of 1187, Fussily, where the exaction of them might be found, under
the actual circumstances of any part of the district, to operate to the
oppression or distress of the present cultivators ; but they were at the same
time prohibited from enhancing the rates of the said year 1187, under
any pretence whatsoever. They were further required to grant receipts
for all payments of revenue made to them, on pain of being subject for
refusal or omission to such fine as the resident should think it proper to
impose ; to regulate the rates of tullubana leviable on parties in arrear, by
the custom of the pergunnah, and to account for and pay the sum realized
under this head to Government; and to refrain from the collection of any
part of the saver or gunge tolls or duties, under the same penalty for dis-
obedience as the village zemindars and farmers are declared liable to in
similar cases, as specified in Clause Seventh, Section XIV. They were
also declared personally responsible to Government in the first instance, in
regard to the maintenance of the peace, and thefts and robberies committed
within their respective aumildarries, under the rules prescribed in similar
cases with respect to the zemindars and farmers in Clause Eighth, Section
XIV.; with a right, however, to have recourse, for their own indemnifica-
tion, to the landholder or farmer within whose limits the theft or robbery
might occur.
NAjonA In their capacities of hakims or magistrates, the aumils were
instructed to apprehend and send in for trial, accompanied by the neces-
sary information and evidence, all persons committing breaches of the
peace; and in concert with the canongoes, to inquire into and to decide
(subject to an appeal to the resident, should either of the parties desire it)
according to the principles of the Regulations of the 25th of June, 1788,
all complaints preferred to them regarding differences occurring between
the zemindars, farmers, and ryots, relative to the malguzarry or revenue,
with authority to refer, with the consent of the parties, other causes of a
civil nature, respecting caste, marriage, shares in land, and debts, to be
determined by arbitration; or where both parties should not consent to
this mode of adjustment, to desire them to repair to and institute their
