Commissioners of Re-
venue and Circuit to be
appointed for certain
divisions specified.

them to be easy of access to the people, and frequently to visit the different
parts of their respective jurisdictions ; to conhde to the said commissioners
the powers now vested in the Courts of Circuit, together with those that
belong to the Boards of Revenue, to be exercised, with the modifications
hereinafter provided, the former under the authority of the Nizamut
Adawlut, and the latter under the instructions and control of a Sudder or
Chief Board of Revenue, and altogether to disjoin the functions of the
Courts of Circuit from those of the judges of appeal. It has, at the
same time, appeared to be necessary, with a view to the more speedy and
effectual redress of the wrongs which the people have suffered in severaf
of the districts of the Western Provinces, under the circumstances detailed
in the preamble of Regulation 1. 1821, to transfer to the said commis-
sioners of revenue and circuit, the powers and authority now exercised by
the Mofussil special commissioners acting under the provisions of that
law, with certain modifications hereinafter specified. It has likewise
been deemed expedient to extend the system of administration, which
has been for some years followed in Cuttack, to the adjoining district of
Midnapore, and to certain other districts in the vicinity of tracts of which
the affairs are conducted on similar principles: and further, with a view
to public economy, it has been deemed proper to abolish the office of
superintendent of police, the necessity for which is superseded by the
appointment of commissioners. With the above views and purposes, the
Governor-General in Council has enacted the following rules, to be in
force from the 1st March, 1829, throughout the provinces immediately
subject to the presidency of Fort William.
