Governor-General in
Council may appoint
any person, not being
judge of the Civil Court, <
to hold the oHice of zil-
lah or city magistrate ;
and may direct whether
the judge of the Civil
Court shall exercise
concurrent authority,
Foregoing provision
applicable to superin-
tendents of police.
Concurrent jurisdic-

city magistrates by ex-
isting Regulations.
Further provision for

magistrate. It has also been considered advisable to vest the magistrates
of certain ziilahs with concurrent authority in contiguous or other juris-
dictions, as joint magistrates, for the purpose of giving effect to the mea-
sures which have been adopted for the discovery and apprehension of
robbers and other public offenders; and it is expected that, in particular
districts, the poiice may be improved, and the discharge of the general
duties of the office of magistrate essentially promoted, by the occasional
appointment of an assistant magistrate. For these purposes, and to obviate
objections which have arisen to the present system of granting a fixed
reward for the discovery and apprehension of pubiic offenders, payable on
conviction, as well as to provide more effectually for the remuneration of
actual service rendered in the discovery or apprehension of offenders
against the public peace, when no specific reward may have been offered
for the performance of such service, the Governor-General in Council
has enacted the following rules, to be in force as soon as promulgated
throughout all the provinces immediately subordinate to the presidency of
Fort William.
II. Such part of Sections II. and III. Regulation IX. 1793, Sec-
tions II. and III. Regulation XVI. 1795, and Sections II. and III. Regu-
lation VI. 1803, or of any other Regulation in force, whereby it is enacted
that the judges of the Civil Courts in the several ziilahs and cities shall hold
the office of magistrate of the zillah or city under their respective jurisdic-
tions, and that the special jurisdiction of the several magistrates shall
extend throughout the districts and places included in or annexed to the
zillah or city in which they are respectively stationed, is hereby declared
to have been and to be subject to the following modification.
Skcwm! Whenever it is considered expedient to appoint a person, not See Reg. iv.
being the judge of the Civil Court of any zillah or city, to hold the office
*of magistrate in such zillah or city or in any part thereof, the Governor-
General in Council will, as heretofore, make such distinct, appointment to
the office of magistrate, and direct whether the judge of the Civil Court
shall, or shall not, exercise a concurrent authority as joint magistrate.
The foregoing provision shall be considered applicable to the SeeActxxiv.
superintendent of police for the divisions of Calcutta, Dacca, Moorsheda-
bad, and Patna, and to the superintendent of police for the divisions of
Benares and Bareilly, whenever the Governor-General in Council may
deem it advisable to invest either of those officers with the office of magis-
trate in any zillah or city, or in any part thereof.
III. A concurrent jurisdiction is vested in the several zillah and city
magistrates and their police officers, in certain cases, by Section XVI.
Regulation XXII. 1793 ; Section XV. Regulation XVII. 1795 ; and Sec-
tion XVI. Regulation XXXV. 1803. It is hereby further declared, that
the Governor-General in Council, whenever he may deem it advisable,
will as heretofore invest the magistrate of any zillah or city with a general
concurrent authority as joint magistrate, in any contiguous or other juris-
diction or jurisdictions, or in any part thereof.
