I. By Section XV. Regulation XXXVI. 1793, and the corresponding-
provisions in Regulations XXVIII. 1795, XII. 1805, and XVII. 1803,
for Benares, Cuttack, and the Ceded and Conquered Provinces, the zillah
and city registers who are also registers of deeds, under those Regulations,
are permitted, in case of absence from their stations, sickness, or any other
disqualification, from personal attendance, to appoint (with the approba-
tion of the judge to whom they may be registers respectively) a deputy,
being a covenanted servant of the Company, to act for them in the registry
of deeds ; and such deputy, so appointed and approved, after taking a
similar oath to that prescribed for the register, is authorized to per-
form the several acts which the register is empowered to perform, under
the Regulations above mentioned, and such as have been since enacted
relative to the registry of deeds ; but much inconvenience has been expe-
rienced by the community in consequence of registers, who may be on
leave of absence, on deputation, or otherwise disqualified, omitting to
appoint a deputy, in the mode prescribed; and also in consequence of
occasional vacancies in the office of zillah or city register, in which case
no provision is made by the existing Regulations for the performance of
the duty of register of deeds. With a view therefore to provide against
the recurrence of such inconvenience, and to supply what is defective in
the existing Regulations, the following rules have been enacted, to be in
force from the date of their promulgation in the provinces immediately
subject to the presidency of Fort William.
II. The office for the registry of deeds in the several zillahs and cities,
wdiich is provided for by Regulation XXXVI. 1793, extended to Benares
by Regulation XXVIII. 1795, and to Cuttack by Section XXXII. of
Regulation XII. 1805, and re-enacted for the Ceded Provinces in Regula-
tion XVII. 1803, extended to the Conquered Provinces and Bundlecund
by Clause First, Section XVII. Regulation VIII. 1805, shall, 222 a/7 cabas', seeActxxx.
be established at the station of the Zillah or City Court, and shall, as
directed by the Regulations above mentioned, be superintended by the

duties of register of deeds with the consent of the Governor-General in Council.
