as they can he applied, are likewise declared to extend to the sudder and tended to the agents of
mofussil amlah, or native agents of every description, employed by the ^hii^hflheirser^cr
landholders and farmers in the management of their estates or farms, or or immediately after
collection of their rents. Any landholder or farmer having demands upon ^
such agents whilst in his service, or immediately after their resignation or
dismission from his service, whether for money in their hands, or for
accounts wdiich they may refuse to render, or for any matter relating to
the discharge of their respective trusts whilst in his employ, may proceed
against them for their arrest and confinement, in like manner as by Sec-
tion XV. of this Regulation he is authorized to proceed against defaulting
under-tenants; and the XzAhA zmzf (A'b/ Goz/ih.S' %7?zf zmArc co7727777..s.s'7077e7'.s'
are to take the same measures for the aid of the landholders and farmers
in such cases, as they are directed to take for the recovery of arrears from
defaulting tenants.
XXI. The foregoing rules will afford proprietors and farmers of land Punctuality expected
the means of realizing their rents with promptitude and facility, and the f[rmer^the^ymmit
utmost punctuality will consequently be expected from them in the pay- of their revenue to Go-
ment of their revenue to Government. The motives stated in the lid^^^ffm'derthem
preamble to Regulation III. 1794, induced the Governor-General in ^ phe realization of
Council to discontinue the mode of coercion, which had been practised
from time immemorial, of confining proprietors of land on their failure in
the discharge of the public revenue engaged for by them; and it was Expectations from
expected, that the permanent assessment on their estates, which they wmre the permanent assess-
left to improve to the utmost without any addition of revenue, would be &m^of n^ny*of°the
paid so readily and punctually as to render it seldom necessary to have principal zemindars,
recourse to any means of coercion. Instead of fulfilling these reasonable
expectations, however, many of the principal zemindars have withheld
their revenue; and taking advantage of the want of information in the
public offices of the actual produce of their estates, from the discontinuance
of former checks and scrutinies, have encouraged, instead of preventing,
the public sale of portions of their lands, for the purpose of repurchasing
the same in fictitious names at an under-rated assessment, or of reducing
the assessment upon the residue of their estates by over-rating the pro-
portion sold. The following rules are enacted to remedy abuses of this objects of following
nature, as well as to secure the more punctual realization of the public ^
revenue without the necessity of frequent sales of land in the course of the
year, .which have been found liable to many ill consequences; and the reasons for not renew-

property, and of promoting as far as possible the ease of the proprietors, m!dh!!!Zrs.
by considering their property alone a sufficient security for the public dues,
without subjecting them to any personal restraint, except in cases of
necessity, has forborn to renew the usage above referred to, whilst there
can be a hope of realizing the fixed assessment on their lands according to
the stipulated periods of payment without it.
