investigation by the magistrate in any instances which may appear to
require it, instead of reporting in all cases to the Court of Nizamut
Adawlut, as required by Section XVII. Regulation IX. 1793 (extended
to Benares by Section IV. Regulation XVI. 1795), and Section XVII.
Regulation VI. 1803 ; and to declare the competency of the Court of
Nizamut Adawlut, whenever it may appear requisite to call for the pro-
ceedings of the Courts of Circuit or magistrates, and pass such orders
thereupon as that court may deem just and proper. It is further neces-
sary, that an annual report be transmitted by the zillah and city magis-
trates to the Court of Nizamut Adawlut, of all criminal cases depending
before themselves or their assistants; also an annual statement of the
number of robberies and other heinous crimes ascertained to have been
committed, the number of persons known or supposed to have been con-
cerned in the commission of such crimes, and the number apprehended or
convicted, or committed for trial before the Court of Circuit. The fol-
lowing rules are accordingly enacted by the Governor-General in Council,
to be in force from the time of their promulgation throughout the whole
of the provinces subject to the immediate government of the presidency
of Fort William.
