It will be seen how suddenly the total of money lent at interest on mortgaged
deeds rose in 1877-78, (the year of drought and distress) and how it is again fall-
ing. If the average of the city figures for the four years is taken to represent
deeds executed by residents of the city for debt the incidence per head of popu-
lation is over 2 Rs. 12 annas. If the average of both pargana and city be
added together and taken to be money lent and secured or wiped off by deed
within the city the total is Rs. 10,73,960 This gives almost Rs. 4 per head
of city population. The true incidence of debt secured or wiped off by deed
lies somewhere between the two.

The following is a detailed list of the amount of money invested in Gov-
ernment promissory notes in Lucknow, giving the year of the loan and the
amount of each loan held. It excludes all money invested as endowments and
all notes held by banks. It shows only savings of private individuals invested
in Government notes of which the interest is drawn at Lucknow treasury :—
