cature, civil and criminal, as well as the keepers of the revenue records in
the several collectorships, the whole of whom are appointed by the Gover-
nor-General in Council, and are not removable without sufficient cause
established to his satisfaction. The principal native officers employed in the
police are also, under the existing Regulations, not liable to be removed
from their stations without proof of incapacity or misconduct to the satis-
faction of the Governor-General in Council; and the native commissioners
for the trial and decision of civil causes to a small amount, who are
appointed with the approbation of the Court of Sudder Dewanny Adawlut,
are not removable, during the period of their commissions, without suffi-
cient cause proved to the satisfaction of that court. The zillah khezan-
chees, or native cash-keepers under the collectors, are, in like manner,
required to be appointed with the approbation of the Board of Revenue,
and are declared not to be removable, except for misconduct or other
sufficient cause proved to the satisfaction of that Board. But, in other
instances, it is not required by the existing Regulations that the sanction
of the Governor-General in Council, or the approbation of the Sudder
Dewanny Adawlut and Nizamut Adawlut, or of the Boards of Revenue
and Trade, be obtained to the appointment of the native officers employed
on the part of Government In the judicial, revenue, and commercial
departments, or in the departments of salt, opium, and customs; nor has
any general provision been made for securing the continuance of such
officers in their respective situations, whilst they perform the duties
assigned to them with attention and fidelity. His Excellency the Most
Noble the Governor-General in Council has therefore enacted the following
further rules, to be in immediate force within the provinces of Bengal,
Behar, and Orissa (including Cuttack), the province of Benares, and the

Courts of Civil and Criminal Judicature to appoint their respective native
officers (excepting the naibs of the nazirs, the mirdahs, and the peons),
and to remove such officers for incapacity, misconduct, or other cause
that, may appear to them sufficient, are hereby rescinded.
III. Such parts of Section XIII. Regulation II. 1793, and Section XIII.
Regulation V. 1795, as declare the appointment and dismission of hative
public servants on the establishments of the collectorships (the keepers of
the records and the khezanchees excepted) to be vested in the collectors
of the revenue, are also hereby rescinded.
