administer it.
VI. Any person appointed to the exclusive charge of the office of zillah
or city magistrate under Section II. of this Regulation, will of course be
guided by the Regulations in force for the discharge of the duties of that
office. Persons appointed to the office of joint magistrate, or that of
assistant magistrate, shall also be guided by the general Regulations,
as far as the same may be applicable to their respective duties; and
for the due execution of such duties, are hereby declared to be invested
with the same powers as by the Regulations are vested in the zillah and
city magistrates.

trates, under the powers vested in them by the preceding section and the
Regulations therein referred to, will be determined by the orders of
Government on their respective appointments. But in all matters relating

absence of the zillah or city magistrate) shall be considered subordinate to
the latter in the general discharge of their official duties, as far as may be
consistent with the provisions contained in this Regulation. In all cases
of a difference of opinion between the zillah or city magistrate and an
