petuity, or fixed the public demand upon the whole estate of a proprietor of
land, leaving him to appropriate to his own use the difference between the
value of such proportion of the produce and the sum payable to the
public, so long as he continues to discharge the latter), are unalienable
without its express sanction. It is, at the same time, essential that talook-
dars and proprietors of land should have a discretionary power to hx the
revenue payable from their dependent tenancies, and to grant leases or hx
the rents of their lands, for a term sufficient to induce their dependent
zemindars, under-fanners, and ryots, to extend and improve the cultiva-
tion of their lands, and that such engagements should be held inviolable
in all cases, excepting where they may interfere with or affect in any
shape the primary and indefeasible rights of Government. Upon the
above ground, and as the proprietors of land previous to the quartennial
and decennial settlement being declared perpetual were not entitled to
enter into any engagements with their dependent zemindars, putteedars,
under-farmers, or ryots, for a period extending beyond the term of their
own engagements with the public, the Governor-General in Council has
enacted as follows.
