1. THE rules prescribed by Regulation 1. 1798, for preventing fraud
and injustice in conditional sales of land, under deeds of bye-bil-wutfa or
other deeds of the same nature, were declared to extend to Benares, as
well as to the provinces of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa; and under the
terms of Section II. of that Regulation, might be considered, from the
time of its publication to have established the general limitation of inte-
rest at the legal rate of "twelve percent, per annum." As, however, the
provisions relative to a limitation of interest, contained in Regulation XV.
1793, and re-enacted for the ceded and conquered provinces by Regula-
tion XXXIV. 1803, have never been expressly extended to Benares, and
as it appears that the limitation of twelve percent, per annum has not yet
been considered in force within that province, it is necessary that an
express rule should be enacted for extending to Benares the same limita-
tion of interest and provisions connected therewith, as are in force
throughout the other provinces under this presidency. It is further requi-
site, for the purpose of preventing improvident and injurious transfers of
landed property at an inadequate price, by the forfeiture of mortgages
accompanied with a condition of sale to the mortgagee if the amount
advanced be not repaid within a stated period (which description of mort-
gage is common throughout the country, under deeds of bye-bil-wuda,
'kut-cubaleh, and other similar designations), that an equitable provision
should be made for allowing a redemption of the estate within a reason-
able and limited period, on payment of the principal sum lent, with interest
