the first-mentioned Regulation, the decennial settlement has been declared
permanent, and for the information and guidance of the talookdars, zemin-
dars, and other actual proprietors of land, and all persons whomsoever,
the following further rules respecting the permanent settlement are
enacted.
II. As the lands of some few zemindars, and other actual proprietors of
land, may have been continued amany or let in farm, in consequence of
their refusing to pay the assessment required of them under the Regula-
tions for the quartennial and decennial settlements, the Governor-General
in Council notifies to the talookdars, zemindars, and other actual proprietors
of land whose lands are held amany, that they shall be restored to the
management of their lands, upon their agreeing to the payment of the
assessment which has been or may be required of them in conformity to
the Regulations above mentioned, and that no alteration shall afterwards
be made in that assessment, but that they and their heirs and lawful
successors shall be permitted to hold their respective estates at such
assessment for ever; and he declares to the talookdars, zemindars, and
other actual proprietors of land whose lands have been let in farm, that
they shall not regain possession of their lands before the expiration of the
period for which they have been farmed (unless the farmers shall volunta-
rily consent to make over to them the remaining term of their leases and
the Governor-General in Council shall approve of the transfer), but that at
the expiration of that period, or in the event of any such farmer or farmers
forfeiting his or their leases by falling in arrear, or otherwise, such proprie-
tors of land shall be reinstated, on their agreeing to the payment of the
assessment which may be required of them, or (according to the nature of
the case) to the conditions with respect to the arrear that may be due, as
specified in Clause First, Section XVIII. Regulation VI. 1795, and no
alteration shall afterwards be made in the saidfxed annual assessment;
but such proprietors of land, and their heirs and lawful successors,
shall be allowed to hold their respective estates at such assessment for
ever.
III. In the event of the proprietary right in lands that are or may
become the property of Government being transferred to individuals,
such individuals, and their heirs and lawful successors, shall be permitted
to hold the lands at the assessment at which they may be transferred for
ever.
IV. The Governor-General in Council trusts that the proprietors
of land, sensible of the benefits conferred upon them by the public assess-
ment being fixed for ever, will exert themselves in the cultivation of their
lands, under the certainty that they will enjoy exclusively the fruits of
their own good management and industry, and that no demand will ever
be made upon them, or their heirs or successors, by the present or any
future Government, for an augmentation of the public assessment, in con-
sequence of the improvement of their respective estates.
