payment of the usual jumma to the talookdar, and to the conditions
specified in Clause Ninth, Section XXXV. Regulation XXII. 1795. The
settlement of Government has been concluded (on the same principles as
are prescribed respecting the zemindarries) with these talookdars, who are
left to assess their village zemindars, either in proportion to their own
sudder jumma, with some addition for charges of management, or according
to the extent and value of the produce, as local custom or the good-will
of the parties may direct.
ZAA'tA The circumstances of the pergunnah of Agowrie Burhur, in the
sircar of Chunar, constitute in some degree a deviation from the rule
observed in the general settlement. This pergunnah appertained to its
separate rajahs, until they were expelled by Rajah Bulwunt Sing. Their
descendants appearing, and having performed some public services in
1781, Government ordered that Rajah Add Sah, their then representative,
should be restored. This order appearing afterwards to be repugnant to
the principle of the general settlement concluded with the Rajah Mahip-
narain Sing, the tenure of the family of Add Sah was, by an order of
Government under date the 11th of April, 1788, limited to the period of
his natural life, during which the interior settlement, of the pergunnah
was, with his consent, and under his seal and the resident's signature,
made with the talookdars and zemindars, most of whom were of his own
blood and lineage ; or with the birteeas, being the persons on whom his
ancestors had conferred grants of lands; or with gherrooas, being such
persons as he or his ancestors had put in possession of lands on mortgage.
These several descriptions of landholders are considered as having a per-
manent interest in their tenures, which have therefore been included in
the general account of the settlements concluded with zemindars. The
remainder of the pergunnah has been let to farmers, on the conditions
common to the rest of the four sircars. Rajah Add Sah subsequently
dying, Government, with the acquiescence of Rajah Mahipnarain, permitted
his heirs to succeed him in the pergunnah, in the permanent settlement
of which, however, they are restricted from making any alterations or
innovations equally with the other aumils or tehseeldars.
AAwYA. The pergunnah of Beleeah, in the sircar of Ghazeepoor, is simi-
larly circumstanced as to the expulsion of its rajahs by Rajah Bulwunt Sing,
and the intended restoration of Bhowayel Deo, their present representa-
tive. But his reinstatement having never taken place, he is allowed to live
in the pergunnah, on a pension which he receives from Government; and
the settlement has been made with such of his family, and of those Rajahs
of Beleeah who preceded it, as could make out pretensions to permanent
tenures or estates ; and where such pretensions could not be established,
or were not preferred, the settlement has taken place with the mokud-
dums, or those of the principal ryots who had long paid the revenue of
their present tenures, being the villages of which they are inhabitants; it
being meant that these mokuddumy tenures should be considered equally
permanent, and be liable to the same conditions as those of the zemindars,
and where neither of these descriptions of persons could be found, the
villages were let to farmers, excepting such part of them as for want of
farmers remained amauny.
