I. PREVIOUS to the establishment of courts of justice in the province of
Benares, individuals in general were under the necessity of having recourse
to arbitration, for the adjustment of the differences occasionally arising
between them in respect to matters of property; and the same mode of
adjustment has since been prevalent in the province, the parties in suits
before the courts often agreeing to submit to the award of a certain
number of their neighbours or other persons, and the award, when con-
firmed by the court, becoming a decree of the court. The Governor-
General in Council being desirous to promote the reference of disputes of
certain descriptions to arbitration, and having deemed it proper to submit
certain cases to the decision of the rajah, the following rules have been
enacted.
II. Regulation XVI. 1793, with the exception of Section X., is hereby
extended to the province of Benares.
III. ATrV In the event of any complaints being preferred to the City
Court or to any Zillah Court, or Vo VrowMczV Ghzzr?! q/rela-
tive to undue exactions of revenue, or any breach of agreement in respect
to pottahs, or the resumption of kishnarpun, or other description of
lands exempted from the payment of revenue, in the jaghire mehauls of
Budhooe or of Kera Mungrore, or in the rajah's hereditary zemindarry of
Gungapore, the complaints are not to be taken cognizance of in the courts
of justice, but the parties are to be desired to make application to the
rajah or to his dewan; and in case of their not obtaining justice, they are
to have recourse to the collector, who will proceed to bring such causes to
a jus't and equitable termination, in the manner stated in the under-speci-
fied article of an agreement concluded by the resident with Rajah Mahip-
narain, under date the 27th of October, 1794. An option, however, is
reserved to the persons deeming themselves injured, to prefer their appli-
cations for redress in the first instance to the collector, who in all cases, by
reference to and communication with the rajah and his officers, is to cause
substantial justice to be rendered to the parties.
