among tlie proprietors. The Governor-Genera! in Council has accord-
ingiy prescribed the following rules for apportioning the public assessment
in the several cases above mentioned ; and as Government might sustain a
considerable loss of revenue by disproportionate allotments of that assess-
ment, were the apportioning of it, in any of the cases above specified, to
be left to the proprietors, it is hereby required, that all such transfers or
divisions as may be.made by the private act of the parties themselves, be
notified to the collector of the revenue of the zillah in which the lands
shall be situated, or such other officer as Government shall in future pre-
scribe, in order that the public assessment, or jumma, charged upon the
whole estate, may be apportioned on the several shares in the manner
hereafter directed, and that the names of the proprietors of each share,
and the jumma charged thereon, may be entered in the public registers,
and that separate engagements for the payment of the jumma assessed
upon each share may be executed by the proprietors, who will thencefor-
ward be considered as proprietors of distinct estates. If the parties con-
cerned in such transfers or divisions of estates shall omit to notify them
to the collector of the revenue of the zillah, or such other officer as shall
be hereafter prescribed, for the purposes before mentioned, the whole of
the original estate will be held responsible to Government for the dis-
charge of the jumma assessed upon it, in the same manner as if no such
transfer or division had ever taken place. The Governor-General in
Council deems it to be necessary further to notify, in elucidation of the
declarations contained in this section, that if any zemindar, independent
talookdar, or other actual proprietor of land, shall dispose of a portion of
his or her lands as a dependent talook, or any other under-tenure, to
remain as a dependencv, subject to the payment of rent to the proprietor of
the estate of which such talook may form a part, the jumma which may be
stipulated to be paid by the dependent talookdar, or other under-tenant,
will not be entered in the records of Government, nor will the transfer
exempt such lands from being answerable, in common with the remainder
of the estate, for the payment of the public revenue assessed upon the whole
of it, in the event of the proprietor, or his or her heirs or successors, falling
in arrear from any cause whatever; nor will such transfer be allowed, in any
case, to afreet the rights or claims of Government, any more than if it had
never taken place.
In the event of the whole estate of a zemindar, independent
talookdar, or other actual proprietor of land, with or on behalf of whom a
settleYnent has been, or shall be concluded, being exposed to public sale,
by order of the Governor-General in Council, for the discharge of arrears
of the public assessment, or co^oyz^Mco of 2^0 okcakhna of % coaoY qf
in two or more lots, the assessment upon each lot shall be fixed at
an amount which shall bear this same proportion to its actual neat produce,
as the public assessment upon the whole of the lands sold may bear to the
whole of their actual neat produce. The neat annual produce is to be
understood to be the neat annual rent, or other neat produce receivable by
the proprietor, after deducting from the gross rent, or other gross produce,
the actual expenses of collection, and other usual charges of management,
inclusive of the expense of embankments, and similar incidental expenses,
where such may be paid by the proprietor, from his gross receipts; but
exclusive of his malikanah, nankar, or other proprietary income, and all
