With ft view of preventing, as far as may be practicable, the
necessity of making cuts in the embankments, sluices of masonry shall
be constructed at those places at which watercourses may be deemed
more particularly necessary. The several co7?27722^^ will accordingly
report, whenever they may be of opinion that such sluices are absolutely
necessary for the purpose of improving the cultivation of the country, and
obviating the inconvenience and expense arising from making temporary
watercourses at such places.
2lM7'& Whenever such sluices may be constructed, they shall be opened
only by the darogah or other native othcer in immediate charge of the
embankments, under such orders as the darogah or other officer may
receive from the co7727?U#pp, or from the person intrusted with the imme-
diate superintendence of the repairs.
WoM7'tU Whenever the holders or cultivators of land may be desirous
that a watercourse should be made through any part of the embankments
where sluices are not constructed, they shall state the circumstance to
the darogah, who will communicate the application to the person vested
with the superintendence of the repair of the embankments ; and that
officer will pass such orders on the subject as may appear to him to be
proper, applying, whenever he may deem it necessary, to the co7?277?h^d for
their instructions oh the subject.
7A/M. In deciding upon applications of that natnre, the ^07727772^6^ and
officers acting under their authority will particularly consider, not only
the advantage which such persons may derive from opening the embank-
ments, but likewise the injury which the lands of other persons may
eventually sustain frpin that cause ; and will order the embankments to
be opened or not, according as may appear to be most conducive to the
general interests and prosperity of the country.
Should any person be guilty of the offence of making cuts through
any of the embankments maintained at the expense of Government, in
any, other manner than that prescribed in the two preceding clauses, he
shall be liable to be prosecuted criminally before the magistrate for such
misdemeanor, who will decide on the case or refer it to the o/
(WcmY, according to the extent of the injury done by the offender, and the
punishment to which the magistrate may consider him to be liable.
Se?^72<tL Any person so o bunding, will likewise be liable to be pro-
secuted in the Civil Court for damages, by any person or persons who may
have sustained any loss or injury from the improper opening of the
embankments.
XIII. The rules contained in the foregoing section are to be considered
applicable to the embankments repaired by the zemindars and farmers;
with this difference, that when any person may be desirous that water-
courses should be made through any part of such embankments, they are
to apply to the zemindar or farmer, or to the officers employed by him in
superintending the repair of the embankments, who will decide on the
application, in conformity to the principle above stated : provided, how-
ever, that any persons who may be .dissatisfied with the decision of the
zemindar or farmer,,or of his officers, shall be at liberty to submit a fur-
