1. WHEREAS it is expedient to enact into a Regulation for general
information and observance, the rules which have- been established
by Government at diherent times (with such amendments as have been
deemed necessary) for facilitating the progress of military detachments
through the Company's provinces, for ascertaining and defraying any
necessary expense incurred for that purpose, and for providing compensa-
tion when any material damage may be sustained in the cultivation of the
country from the march or encampment of troops;*and whereas it has
also been judged proper to empower the local officers of police to afford
such reasonable assistance as may be required by travellers (whether
European or native) proceeding through their respective jurisdictions, in
procuring the means of prosecuting their journies : And whereas it is
further necessary to extend to the other provinces under this presidency *
(with modifications) the rules established in the province of Benares
by Sections LXVIII. and LXXII. Regulation XXII. 1795, prohibiting,
with certain exceptions, the use of the uniform of the Company's native
troops, the sending of sepoys or lascars into villages for the purpose of*
procuring provisions or of pressing coolies and boatmen, and the employing
of badged peons or other public servants wearing badges ; as well as the rule
established in the ceded and conquered provinces, by Clauses Fifth and
Sixth, Section XIV. Regulation VIII. 1805, for the trial and punishment
of military guards in charge of prisoners who may escape ; and likewise
the rule contained in Section XXXI. Regulation VIII. 1805, for pro-
mulgating the Regulations in the country language: And whereas it is
likewise necessary that fixed and defined rules should be established for
the guidance of the magistrates and other civil officers in applying for
detachments, guards, or escorts for the public service from the regular
battalions : And whereas it has been judged advisable to modify the rule
contained in Clause First, Section XII. Regulation 1. 1804: The follow-
ing rules have been enacted, to be in' force throughout the whole of the
* So much of this Regulation as authorizes collectors, magistrates, and their native officers
to give official aid in procuring and furnishing coolies for military detachments or individuals
is rescinded by Sec. ii. Reg. III. 1820.
