who was paid Rs. 1.0 per annum. In lieu of these arrangements I
have substituted three circles, viz—
One composed of the Simla villages and the adjacent part of Bharauli.
One composed of the two Kalka villages and the nearest part of Bharauli.
One composed of the centre of the Bharauli ilaqa.
The patwari cess has been raised to 6j per cent, on the land reve-
nue, which will yield an income of about Rs. 390. The income has been
funded, and will yield an average pay per patwaii of Rs. 11 per mensem.
One of the men is the old Bharauli patwari who knows only Hindi,
and is a fair man and useful in this hill tract. The other two are
Urdu writers trained in Settlement work, of whom one knows Hindi
and the other is learning it. The latter are both of them new men,
one a resident of the Una tahsil, and the other of the Kangra district.
The three patwari charges average per patwari—
Khasra ... ... Nos. 9,190
Cultivation ... ... Acres 1,105
Crass fields ... ... „ 2,037
Other waste ... ... „ 2,693
I tried to arrange for only two circles, as then a lower patwari cess
would have been sufficient; but it was impracticable, especially with
reference to the circumstance that the Simla and Kalka villages are each
of them ten miles distant from the north and south ends of the Bharauli
ilaqa.

134. The lands forming the pergunnah and the present station of Simla
originally belonged conjointly to the Maharaja of Patiala and the Rana of Keon-
thal. As early as 1824, European gentlemen, chiefly invalids from the plains,
had, with the permission of these chiefs, established themselves in this locality,
building houses on sites granted them rent-free, and with no other stipulation than
that they should refrain from the slaughter of kine and from the felling of trees,
unless with previous permission of the proprietors of the land.
135. The station became gradually favourably known as a Sanatarium, and
in 1830 the Government directed that negotiations should be entered into with
the chiefs of Patiala and Keonthal, for as much land as was deemed sufficient to
form a station. Accordingly Major Kennedy, the then Political Agent, negotiated
an exchange with the Rana of Keonthal for his portion of the Simla hill,
comprising the thirteen villages noted in the margin * and yielding an estimated
annual revenue of Rs. 937, making over to the
Rana the pergunnah of Rajeen, yielding an
annual revenue of Rs. 1,289, which had been
retained by us on the first-conquest of these
hills, as its position was considered to afford a
good military position.
