I. WHEREAS reasons of state, embracing the due maintenance of the
alliances formed by the British Government with foreign powers, the pre-
servation of tranquillity in the territories of native princes entitled to its
protection, and the security of the British dominions from foreign hostility
and from internal commotion, occasionally render it necessary to place under
personal restraint, individuals against whom there may not be sufficient
ground to institute any judicial proceeding, or when such proceeding may
not be adapted to the nature of the case, or may for other reasons be
unadvisable or improper; and whereas it is fit that, in every case of the
nature herein referred to, the determination to be taken should proceed
immediately from the authority of the Governor-General in Council; and
whereas the ends of justice require that, when it may be determined that
any person shall be placed under personal restraint, otherwise than in pur-
suance of some judicial proceeding, the grounds of such determination
should from time to time come under revision, and the person affected
thereby should at all times be allowed freely to bring to the notice of the
Governor-General in Council all circumstances relating either to the sup-
posed grounds of such determination, or to the manner in which it may
be executed; and whereas the ends of justice also require that due atten-
tion be paid to the health of every state prisoner confined under this Regu-
lation, and that suitable provision be made for his support according to
his rank in life, and to his own wants and those of his family ; and whereas
the reasons above declared sometimes render it necessary that the estates
and lands of zemindars, talookdars and others situated within the terri-
tories dependent on the presidency of Fort William, should be attached
and placed under the temporary management of the revenue authorities,
without having recourse to any judicial proceeding; and whereas it is
desirable to make such legal provisions as may secure from injury the just
rights and interests of individuals whose estates may be so attached under
the direct authority of Government; the Vice-President in Council has
enacted the following rules, which are to take effect throughout the pro-
vinces immediately subject to the presidency of Fort William, from the
date on which they may be promulgated.

may seem to the Governor-General in Council to require that an individual
should be placed under personal restraint, without any immediate view to
ulterior proceedings of a judicial nature, a warrant of commitment under
