/Sz^A. Where a zemindarry may have been mortgaged, or transferred as
security for a debt, and actual possession given to the mortgagee or surety,
the settlement shall be made with such mortgagee or surety in possession,
leaving the zemindar at liberty to adjust his accounts with the actual pos-
sessor, or to sue for redress in a court of justice.
A?ddd72^A. In large zemindarries containing several dependent talooks or
estates, of which the actual proprietors may be now, and have been for a
length of time, in undisturbed possession, the principal zemindars being no
more than the immediate channel of receiving the dues of Government, the
settlement shall be made with such dependent talookdars separate and dis-
tinct from the engagement of the principal zemindars; provided, however,
that the talookdars shall be desirous of such separation or the zemindars
shall require it.
AYyAbA. In the event of the zemindar considering himself aggrieved by
a separation made in conformity to the above clause, or of a talookdar
being dissatished at not being separated from a zemindarry, agreeably to
what he may have considered as his right, in either case, the party con-
sidering himself aggrieved shall be at liberty to sue for redress in a court
of justice. The collectors shall not suffer such disputed claim to interfere
with, or delay the immediate conclusion of the settlement, which, in all
doubtful cases, shall be made with the person in possession.
AYYz^A. Where zemindars, or other actual proprietors, shall decline enter-
ing into engagements for their respective estates, or where there are no
proprietors, a village settlement shall be made for three years, giving the
preference to the mokuddums, purdhauns, or any respectable ryot of the
village; but no person, not an actual proprietor, shall (so far as may be
practicable) be allowed to engage for more than one assillee village, and
its dakhillee or dependent villages.
V^A. Persons of every description, whether proprietors or not, shall
give security equal to one-fourth of the stipulated amount of their annual
engagements, in default of which their proposals shall be rejected.
AY^<?aYA. All persons with whom a settlement may be made, shall bind
themselves by a written obligation, under such reasonable penalty as the
collectors may think proper to determine, to grant pottahs or leases to the
ryots and under-renters of every description, specifying the amount they
are respectively to pay; and counter engagements shall be executed by the
ryots and under-renters of a similar tenour and purport.
Tzcg(/YA. In granting pottahs to the ryots and other under-renters, and
in receiving cabooleats from them, all authorized and established abwaubs
