have in their possession a complete register of the lands throughout the
ceded provinces held exempt from the payment of revenue, under grants
of the nature of those described in this Regulation, and with a view to
prevent any such grants being made in future, a register of all lands held
exempt from the payment of revenue under grants made previously to the
1st of January, 1801, or since exempted from the payment of revenue by
the authority of Government, shall be formed every live years in each
zillah. The register is to specify the denomination of each grant, whether
bermooter, bisliunpereet, kishnarpun, or other tenure; the names of the
grantor, the original grantee, and the person in possession, and if the
person in possession be not the original grantee, his relationship to him if
any relationship exists, and in virtue of what right he succeeded to the
grant; the date of the grant; the name of the pergunnah (or other local
division where there may be no pergunnah), sircar, and soubah, in which
the land granted may be situated, with the exact number of villages or
other subdivisions comprised therein, as particularized in the pergunnah
register directed to be kept by Regulation XLII. 1803. The collectors
are enjoined to take the utmost care, that the names of the pergunnahs
(or other local divisions where there may be no pergunnahs), as well as
the number of villages or other subdivisions stated to be in each, are
exactly conformable to the pergunnah register; and are to furnish their
native officers appointed to prepare the counterpart registers with particular
instructions for this purpose. The register shall be denominated the
" periodical register of lands held exempt from the payment of revenue
under grants not being badshahee or royal grants."

rule contained in the preceding section, the collector of each zillah, upon
the receipt of this Regulation, is to cause the following publication, which
shall be written in the Persian language and the Hindoostanee language
and Nageree character, and attested with their official seals and signatures,
to be fixed up in the principal cutcherry of every tehseeldar, and of every
proprietor and farmer of land in the zillah paying revenue immediately to
Government, and of every native collector in lands held khas by Govern-
ment ; and where the estate of any proprietor with whom a settlement
shall have been concluded, or the farm of any farmer, or lands held khas,
shall consist of two or more whole pergunnahs or portions of pergunnahs,
he shall cause the publication to be fixed up in the principal cutcherry in
each pergunnah or portion of a pergunnah, comprised in such estate, farm,
or khas lands, and take a receipt, specifying the date on which the publi-
cation may be fixed up, from such proprietor, farmer, or native officer, who
shall respectively be held responsible for the paper remaining so affixed for
one year from the date of it. The collectors are further required to cause
the prescribed publication to be fixed up in their own cutcherries, and in
