ments, viz. at the khurreef and rubby harvests.
XIII. All persons receiving pensions exceeding one hundred
rupees per annum are to attend the collector in person at the stated
periods, to receive the amount of their respective pensions, and the col-

personally; unless they shall be disabled from attending by illness, or
other sufficient cause, of which satisfactory proofs shall be exhibited. The
collector, on being satisfied of the inability of the parties, whether from
age, sex, or distance of abode, to attend in person, is permitted to issue
their pension to their authorized vakeels; but he is to take due precau-
tions to prevent impositions after the death of the pensioners, and in the
event of any pension not being claimed within six months after it may
become payable, he is to ascertain whether the party who received it be
deceased, and report accordingly.
