shall be consolidated with the land rent and formed into one jumma, which
shall be expressed in a gross sum in the pottahs and cabooleats; and the
imposing or levying new abwaubs shall be strictly prevented.
TApWd^A. All engagements entered into with Government shall be
exclusive of sayer duties, and of all other collections not connected with
the land revenue, hitherto levied under the denomination of zemindarry
and tannahdarry duties. The cabooleats executed by zemindars and other
actual proprietors of land, shall contain a clause restricting them from
collecting sayer duties, or any other duties whatever, in their respective
tenures. And the collectors are required to explain fully the nature and
extent of this restriction, in order that persons desirous of entering into
engagements may regulate their proposals accordingly. Nankar, and
pensions of every description, shall be paid by Government from its own
treasuries; and no deductions whatever shall be admitted on these or on
any other accounts.
Where neither the proprietors nor farmers may tender
suitable conditions of agreement, a khas or bowlee settlement shall be
made with the ryots, stipulating the shares they are to get from the
different kinds of land, as follows:—In politch lands, or such as are in
full cultivation, Government shall receive five passerees and the ryot three
passerees. In chunchur lands, or such as have not been cultivated for two
or three years, Government shall receive two and the ryot six passerees.
In bunjer, or waste lands, Government shall receive one and the ryot seven
passerees. Chunchur lands after one, and bunjer lands after two years,
shall be considered equal to politch ; and further, the bunjer lands after
one year shall be taxed equal to chunchur. In the khas settlement, the
bhaint or nuzzerana shall be abolished; the putwarries' wages shall be
borne by the ryots; but the mussaut, or measuring and valuing the crops,
shall be defrayed by Government, in consideration of the additional pas-
seree received out of the politch crop. In all cases where crops are
valued, it shall be done according to the price-current of the day. In the
khas settlement, the ryots shall engage that the cultivation of the lands
shall not fall offj and that they shall not undertake the cultivation of new
lands until they have accomplished that of the old.
The collectors shall, in all cases whatever, take under their
own immediate management the settlement and collections of all the large
zemindarries; and further, that of all such other lands as they can super-
intend without detriment to their general avocations.
NY^^A. The proprietors of such estates as shall pay their revenues
immediately into the treasury of a collector, shall become responsible for
entertaining an efficient police in their respective estates, subject to such
general rules and regulations as may be hereafter enacted ; with an excep-
tion as to cities, large towns, and principal gunges, the expenses of the
police of which will be defrayed by Government.
/Shrdyy^c^A. In cases where lands to a considerable amount shall be let
in farm to one individual, and Government, from the report of the Board
of Revenue, shall be of opinion that the other avocations of the collector
will admit of the measure, the collections from such farm shall be paid
immediately into the treasury of the collector, instead of being received
through the medium of a tehseeldar.
