purposes of the salt department, the proprietor thereof shall be entitled
to recover possession of the same, on establishing the fact to the satisfac-
tion of the Board of nyad' Opm??2, or by a regular suit in
court, and on relinquishing the compensation paid to him by the salt agent
for the use of the land.
XIII. Churs and salt lands, now occupied by the salt department, and
for which no compensation may be now paid, or be hereafter adjudged to
be due, as well as al! such churs and salt lands as may be declared to be
the property of Government, shall be held by the salt agents, under regular
puttahs from the collector, containing as accurate a specification as possible
of the extent and limits of the land ; all such lands shall, upon their losing
their saline quality, and becoming unfit for the salt manufacture, be made
over to the collector, and if cultivation be found in such churs or lands
before or after the officers of the salt department may have relinquished
them, it shall at any time be competent to the collector to cause a settle-
ment to be made on the part of Government with the actual cultivators,
without reference to the pretensions of any one else to take the rents from
these. In like manner the revenue authorities may sell the Government
interest in such lands, or let them in farm, with such assessment as it may
appear proper to impose.
XIV. AYywf. The following rules are enacted for the purpose of defining
and settling the relative rights of Government and of the zemindars in
regard to the waste lands whence fuel is procured for the salt manufacture,
with reference to the principles on which the monopoly was established at
the period above mentioned, and the practice since followed.
iShcwzGf. In cases wherein no engagements may have been entered into,
for specific lands with ascertained limits, the salt department shall be con-
sidered to have the right of free fuel from all jungle or waste land lying
within estates, the owners of which are allowed a remission of revenue,
or receive rent from or on account of the salt department, to the full
extent of the manufacture now established, so long as the said remission
and rent shall continue to be allowed and paid. Fuel required for new or
additional khalaries is to be procured by agreement with the owner, or cut
from land the property of Government.
Nothing contained in the above clause shall be construed to
affect the rights of Government in land specifically reserved for the supply
of fuel, nor shall the above provision be construed to authorize the officers
of the salt department to prevent the cultivation of waste or jungle land,
unless the same shall have been reserved under, specific engagements. If
it be required to reserve any fuel lands beyond those already reserved for
the use of the salt department, an arrangement must be made for the pur-
pose with the proprietors of the land, or measures taken for effecting the
transfer of them to Government as hereinafter specified.
If any zemindar shall refuse to allow the salt officers to take on
reasonable terms the fuel, required by them from the jungle lying within
his estate, such fuel not being demandable under the second clause of this
section, the necessary fuel shall be taken, and a just compensation settled
under the rules prescribed in the third and four following sections of this
Regulation. The same course of proceeding shall be followed i.n cases in
