1. WHEREAS it is enacted by Section II. Regulation V. 1812, that pro-
prietors of lands shall be competent to grant leases for any period which
they may deem most convenient to themselves and tenants and most con-
ducive to the improvement of their estates ; and whereas Regulations IX.
and X. 1812, contain rules under which the settlement which had been
made in perpetuity in the ceded and conquered provinces, with the reserve
of the approval of the Honourable the Court of Directors, is subject to
considerable modifications and restrictions ; and whereas those rules conse-
quently create a necessity for limiting the power granted by Section II.
Regulation V. 1812, as above noticed ; the following rules have been
enacted, to be immediately in force in the ceded and conquered provinces,
including the territory ceded by his Highness the Peishwa in Bundlecund,
the district of Cuttack, and the pergunnahs formerly dependent on that
district, but now annexed to the zillah of Midnapore.
Modified by
Act XVI. 1842.
II. No zemindar or other proprietor of land in the ceded and con-
quered provinces shall grant leases or hx the rent of any land tenure for
a term exceeding ten years; or if the term of his own engagement with
Government be less than ten years, extending beyond such less term.
III. Any evasion of this prohibition, by entering into separate engage-
ments or leases to take effect successively, or by dating an engagement or
lease on a day other than that on which it was actually executed, or by
any other device, shall be considered as an infringement of it; and every
lease or engagement fixing the rent, which has been or shall be con-
cluded or granted in opposition to this prohibition, is declared to be null
and void.
Reg. XIII. 1812.
Reg. XIV. 1812.
No zemindar or
proprietor shall grant
leases for a term ex-
tending beyond the
term of his own en-
gagements with Go-
vernment.
Every evasion of this
