No. 875}A, dated Calcutta, the 24th September 1892.
From-J. A. BOURDILLON, Esq., Offg. Secretary to the Board of Revenue, L.P.,
To-The Secretary to the Government of Bengal, Revenue Department.
I AM directed to submit the accompanying copy of a letter from the
Director of the Department of Land Records and
D. R. LYALL, Esq., C.S.I. Agriculture, Bengal, No. 1280T.A., dated 9th
August 1892, and enclosures, on the subject of errors which have been dis-
covered in the record of rights relating to the Srinagar-Baneili estates, and
to say that the Board agree that, if possible, Babu Barhamdeo Narayan should
be recalled and placed on duty as suggested by the Director in paragraph 2 of
his letter.
2. The Legal Remembrancer has been asked for an expression of his
opinion on the latter point raised in paragraph 3 of Mr. Macpherson's letter in
regard to the legality of altering the settlement records in the manner suggested.
3. The Collectors of the other districts to which the survey extended have
been called on to report whether similar confusion in the rocords has been
detected in their districts.
i 4. The Board think it better, not to enter into details at present pending the
receipt of any explanation which the Deputy Collector may give, but so far it
certainly appears that the work has been far from well done. The fact that it
is possible for a doubt to exist as to what was the final record published under
section 105 (2) of the Tenancy Act shows a lamentable want of care in the
framing of the records which the Board can only characterise as discreditable to
the officers concerned.
5. The Director has been asked to accelerate the submission of the final
report in this case.
No. 1280T.A., dated Calcutta, the 9th August 1892.
From-W.C. MACPHERSON, Esq., C.s., Offg. Director of the Department of Land
Records and Agriculture, Bengal,
To-The Secretary to the Board of Revenue, Lower Provinces.
In continuation of my letter No. 1189TA, dated 23rd July 1892, I have the honour
to forward, for the information and orders of the Board, copy of a letter No. 1151R, dated
30th June 1892, from the Commissioner of Bhagalpur, on the subject of errors i the record
of rights relating to the Srinagar-Baneili estates, and of my inspection notes recorded at
Bhagalpur from the 25th to 26th July 1892. I beg to invite the attention of the Board to
the following matters on which orders are required.
2. Iilentification of the record of rights finally published under section 105 (2) of the
Tenancy Act and rule 34 of the Government rules.- I propose in paragraph 29 of my inspeotion
notes that one of the late Assistant Settlement Officers be appointed to examine the record of
every village dealt with in the settlement proceedings, and to certify in the case of each Village,
if necessary, after taking the affidavit of the Kanungo who made the final publication under
Rule 34 of Chapter VI of the Government Rules under the Tenancy Act, which series of
khatians and kñewats was actually finally published and constitutes the binding record of
rights. It will be observed form paragraphs 24 to 26 of my inspection notes that after
examination of the record bundle of mauza Bangaon I was unable to satisfy myself which
of three series of khatians was finally published under Rule 34. I am inclined to think that
Babu Barhamdeo Narayan, late Assistant Settlement Officer, should be recalled from furlough
for this work, or that he should be ordered to do it while on furlough.
The records of this settlement bave been deposited in the Bhagalpur, Monghyr,
Bhagalpur
... 189 villages.
Purnea, Darbhanga and Malda Collectorates,
Monghyr
as the villages settled are situated in these
Purnea
Malda
districts. Over 600 villages were settled. I am
Darbhanga
(1,350 acres). unable to say how long it would taken an oficer
to make the necessary examination with a
view to recording the proposed certificates.
It is quite possible that in many of the records there will be no such doubt as exists in the
case of mauza Bangaon. The officer employed should be an officer familiar with the Kaithi
character.
3. Correction of the final records so as to give proper effect to sulehnamas, judgments and
decrees and correction of decrees so as to give proper effect to judgments. This matter is discussed
in Mr. Wace's letter No. 535G, dated 9th June 1892, and in paragraphs 5 and 6 of the
Commissioner's covering letter of 30th June 1892. I would recommend that in the first
place the opinion of the Legal Remembrancer be obtained as to whether it will be legal
to appoint à Settlement Officer (1) to bring the finally published khatians into accordance
boen Waite on furlondd be recalled to think that

can be correct Collector oder applicationon application and Assis
with the judgments and decrees, or (2) to correct decrees so as to give proper effect to
judgments, or to do both...
I would suggest that the Legal Remembrancer should be asked at the same time to
advise, with reference to sections 107 and 109 of the Tenancy Act, what legal force, if any;
belongs to incorrect entries in a khatian which have been the subject of dispute before the
Settlement Officer. The Commissioner of Bhagalpur, Mr. Quinn, has expressed to me his
opinion that such incorrect entries cannot prevail against the actual decision of the Settlement
Officer. It is the decision of the Settlement Officer and not the khatian entry that has the
- force of a decree. In this opinion I beg to express my concurrence. Nevertheless, it is
desirable that incorrect khatian entries should be corrected if this can be legally done, so as
to bring them into accordance with facts found and decisions given by the Settlement Officer
up to the date of the final publication under rule 34.
If the Legal Remembrancer should hold that khatians finally published under rule 34
can be corrected otherwise then under the order of the Special Judge, I would recommend
that a Deputy Collector of the regular staff in each of the five districts named be appointed
Settlement Officer to consider applications that may be presented within a reasonable period
for correction of decrees and khatians on application of parties, so as to bring them into
accordance with the decisions of the Settlement Officer and Assistant Settlement Officer. If
such correction should involve a large amount of work, the district officer could apply
hereafter for a special officer.
4. Correction of incorrect entries in copies of the khatians or parchas issued to landlords
and tenants.—Mr. Quinn makes recommendation on this subject in paragraph 4 of his letter
of 30th June. - When copies are voluntarily brought to the Collectorate record-room for
comparison with the record ascertained to be the record finally published under rule 34,
or with the record as it may be corrected under the proposals made in the last paragraph,
I think that no difficulty need be made in correcting an incorrect copy under the signature
of the Deputy Collector in charge of the Collector's record-room so as to bring it into accord
with the final record. I am not prepared to advise, however, on the information before me
that any general steps be taken to call in copies of khatians for the purpose of comparison.

CALCUTTA,
The 27th July 1892.
INSPECTION NOTES, &c., ON RECORDS OF THE SRINAGAR-BANAILI
SETTLEMENT.
BHAGALPUR COLLECTORATE, 25TH AND 26TH JULY 1892.
WITH reference to Commissioner of Bhagalpur's letter No. 1151R, dated 30th June •
1892, I this morning made an inspection of the records of the Srinagar-Banaili settlement
deposited in the Bhagalpur Collectorate record-rooms, Only the records of villages which
belong to the Bhagalpur district are deposited in the Bhagalpur record-room.
2. I find that the record bundles occupy six shelves of rack No. 14 in the Colleotorate
record-room. In an almirah there are a large number of bound volumes which are spoken
of as being fair copies of the finally published khewats and khatians, but which appear to me,
after examination of the record of mauza Chandrain, to be at least in some cases the finally-
published records themselves. In a large steel box are the settlement maps bound in volumes.
3. These record bundles and bound volumes and maps have been coming into the
Collectorate record-room from February 1891 to March 1892. None have come since March
1892, when the settlement proceedings ended.
4. Five parganas were under settlement in Bhagalpur, viz., Dhapar, Uttarkand, Khub-
khand, Narsingpur Koar, and Chain.
The records of Dhapar were received all at one time, but were sent back to Purnea on being
called for by the Settlement Officer. They were then again received back complete. In the
case of the other parganas, record bundles came in instalments for some villages at one time and
for some at another time. With the records came mauzawar lists in the following form :-

copy for the main a publicatione order sheet, it became evid
Aptext order having been pued, and it has the orden
At the beginning of record A comes the general fly-leaf, then a fly-leaf of the A papers
only. After the fly-leaves comes the notice published under Rule 16 of Chapter VI of the
Government Rules, and which is to the effect that attestation would begin on 29th March
1888. The notice is dated 13th February 1888, and is known as Form E. Then come
returns to the notice. Then the order-sheet beginning with a proceeding, stating that as
records had not come from the survey office, attestation would begin on 8th May 1888.
Attestation went on till 11th May when an order stating that it was finished was recorded, and
the records were made over to the peshkar. Then on 20th June 1888, the record was put up
and order was passed—“Let the terij be prepared, and after preparing it let copy of the parcha
be published.” On 4th May 1889 order was passed—“Objections under section 106 have been
decided. After correction and arrangement let copy be prepared for the Collectorate, and a
copy for the raiyats, and a copy for the maliks, and after comparison be made over to the
kanungo for final publication."
The next order on the order sheet is dated 19th January 1891, and is to this effect-
“ To-day the record having been put up, it became evident that the report of the kanungo of
final publication had been received, and it was ordered that it be filed with the record.
This is all that the order sheet contains. After the order sheet comes a record in English
of evidence with regard to objections as to entries in the khatians. Then comes a list of
objections of raiyats and dispute lists. Then a Fard Birar. Then another order list with
reference to the entries to be made in various khatians. Then comes a list of non-occupancy
raiyats and the year from which they were occupying. Then another dispute list. Then
petitions and list of witnesses about the disputes. Then a notice signed by Assistant
Settlement Officer, and dated 30th January 1889, to the effect that the settlement papers
have been prepared under section 105 of the Tenancy Act, and have been put in the
zamindar's cutcherry, where they can be seen for a month. On the back of this notice is a
receipt signed by a patwari to the effect that he had received settlement papers prepared
according to section 105 to be kept by him for a month. His receipt is dated 31st January
1889. Then follow several petitions with regard to the khatians and report of subordinate
officers.
Then comes a report by a kanungo, dated 15th June 1890, to the effect that, after sending
notice on 7th June, he had gone to Chandrain, and duly read out “ the parcha” in presence of
( 5 )
raiyats and maliks' servants on the date fixed, viz., 15th June, and had distributed parcha
to the raiyats, or failing them to the Jeth raiyats. The report is signed in Persian)

raiyats to whom the parcha were distributed. Then comes a Hindi rubakari of the Assistant
Settlement Officer, Babu Barhendeo Narain, dated 24th December 1890 (but signed by
Mr. Collin) reciting as follows:-“Whereas the survey of mauza Chandrain was completed
on 13th February 1888, and attestation under rule 16 was completed on 28th May 1888, and
afterwards copy of the khatian was published in draft (ibtidai) under rule 33 of the Govern.
ment rules ou 30th January 1889, and after decision of objections under section 106 of Act
VIII of 1885 on 15th June 1890 was finally published on 15th June 1890; and whereas nothing
remains to be done in connection with settlement of this mauza, it is ordered that this rubakari
remain with the misl and the papers of this mauza be sent to the Bhagalpur Collectorate."
A duplicate of this rubakari is to be found with the bound volume mentioned in para-
graph 2 of these Notes containing the khewat, terij goshwara, and khatian of this village.
The terij is also signed by Mr. Collin, and some of the corrections are of entries in the bound
volume signed by Mr. Collin (e.9., page 93).
8. The record of B papers chiefly consists of petitions of objection which were
disallowed.
The record of O papers chiefly consists of returns to notices, lists of kamat lands.
9. I then open a big bundle containing-
1. The original khewat, i.e., the klewat first written (but not as I understand the
khewat finally published).
2. The khasra.
3. The milan khasra.
4. The khatians beginning with kamat lands, then come mal lands (beginning at
page 67).
There is nothing to show how much of this was written in the Survey office, and how
much in the Settlement office; but the Survey Department's seal is on nearly every page. I
find that page 68, wbich is entirely written in red ink, has not got the Survey Department
seal, so no doubt it was entirely written in the Settlement Department.
10. The bound volume for mauza Chandrain (mentioned in paragraph 2 and at the
end of paragraph 7 of these Notes) contains, as has been stated above, khewat, terij goshwara
and khatian. Prefixed to them all is a duplicate of the Settlement Officer's final rubakari, of
24th December 1890, signed by the Settlement Officer. The grounds on which it may
reasonably be concluded that the khewats and khatians contained in this volume are those
which were actually published and constitute the binding record are-first, the order of 20th
June 1838, which directs that copy of the parcha be published; secondly, the rehearsal in the
rubakari of 24th December 1890 that copy of the khatian (c.e. parcha) has in fact been
published both in draft under rule 33, and finally under rule 34. I think it may be taken
Therefore that these bound khatians were in fact the khatians published, and that they
constitute the binding record. No other copy of the khatians made over by the Survey
Department and completed by the Settlement Department is to be found among the settle-
ment records.
11. At a meeting at the Collector's office, 25th July 1892–
PRESENT :
H. R. H. Coxe, Esq., Officiating Collector.
F. A. SAVI, Esq., Manager of the Srinagar Estate.
BABU NIBARAN CHANDRA MUKERJI, Law Superintendent for Banaili Estate.
W. C. MACPHERSON, Esq., Offg. Director of the Department of Land Records and
Agriculture, Bengal.
12. The Officiating Director invited Mr. Savi and Babu Nibaran Chandra Mukerji
to state the difficulties with regard to the records, and the action which they wished to be
taken.
· 13. Babu Nibaran Chandra Mukerji said that the difficulties were that the final records
contained errors, in that they had not been always written up in accordance with the decrees,
or the decrees in accordance with the judgments; that the copies supplied to the landlords did
not agree with the original khatians, or with the copies in the bound volumes in the
Collectorate; that it could not be ascertained from the Collectorate papers which were the
records actually published; that the raiyats' copies do not agree with the landlords' copies.
In the Monghyr Sadar Munsifi a suit for rent had been brought by the Raj against a
raiyat. The raiyat produced a parcha given from the Settlement Officer, which did not agree
with the parcha given to the Raj office by the Settlement Officer. The Munsif had
dismissed the suit on account of the discrepancy. The Raj had no idea that a different parcha
would be produced.
14. The Director said that he thought that the Raj should have moved the Court to call
for the final record deposited in the Collectorate, and that he thought the Court would have
been bound to call for the record in order to settle the discrepanoy.
maiyathe Monghy Sadished; that the certained from thepices in the bound the landlords and
( 6 )
it would be the subsequent to the officer berament whether pinion that mistar with judg.
what were the reduty of the Collector tublication in each' ville would have nothing to ppor
15. Mr. Savi said that he would propose that an officer should be deputed to call in and
examine the raiyats' copies of the parchas, and to issue new copies where they do not agree
with the binding record.
16 The Director asked whether any other case was known of the raiyats' copies disagree-
ing with the landlord's copies.
17. Babu Nibaran Chandra Mukharji said that he had heard of three or four such cases.
Mr. Savi did not know of any more cases. Mr. Coxe said that he would ask Mr. Christian,
a gentleman residing in the district, to send in his khatians for purpose of comparison.
18. The Director said that it did not appear to him that any case had been made out
for generally calling in the riyats' parchas. It was quite possible and probable that some
clerical mistakes had been made in the issue of thousands of copies; but on an allegation
only that three or four discrepancies had been discovered, he could not recommend that any
general enquiry should be made.
19. Mr. Savi said that it was every difficult to get the raiyats to show their parchas.
20. The question of correction of mistakes in the final record, due to omission to give
proper effect to judgments, or sulehnamas or decrees was then discussed. The Director said
that he would suggest to the Board that the opinion of the Legal Remembrancer should be
obtained as to the legality of correcting the final records to give proper effect to judgments,
decrees, &c.; also as to the possibility of either party contesting in the Civil Courts on
equitable grounds entries in the final record which are not in accordance with judg-
ments, decrees, &c. If the Legal Remembrancer be of opinion that mistakes can be
corrected, it would have to be decided by Government whether an officer should be appointed
for the purpose. But if such an officer be appointed, he would have nothing to do with
mutations made subsequent to the final publication in each village. The Director also said that
it would be the duty of the Collector to have it made ciear after examination of the papers
what were the records finally published, and therefore binding, in cases where there might be
any doubt in the record-room, or any doubt felt by parties as to what were the khatians finally
published.
21. Mr. Savi said that the estates had been put to great expense over the settlement.
If any further expense had to be incurred on account of enquiry necessitated by errors on the
part of the Settlement Office, it should not be imposed upon the estates.
22. The Director said that he did not think that a case had been made out for general
enquiry. If a sufficient case could be made out for examination of the records of a selected
village, he would recommend to Government that such examination be made. If many and
serious errors should be found in the records, Government would probably be willing to bear
the cost of rectifying the errors; but it was impossible to keep out all error in thousands of
khatians and hundreds of thousands of entries. The estate and the raiyats had had two
opportunities of rectifying errors, viz., at the time of attestation and at the time of draft
publication of the khatians. It was also usual for litigants in Civil Courts to satisfy them-
selves as to the correctness of decrees. The Director said that he would examine the record
of any village that might be selected. Babu Nibaran Chandra Mukharji asked that the
record of mauza Bangaon might be examined.
The 26th July 1892.
23. At the request of the Law Superintendent of the Banaili Raj, I made an examina-
tion of the record of the village of Bangaon, otherwise called Saifabad Khanpatti. Babu Kisto
Pershad Chatterji, a servant of the Banaili Raj, is present.
24. I examined first the settlement misi (which is very much tattered). The notice
in Form E fixing 20th February for attestation is dated 16th January 1889.
The order sheet contains the following orders:-
On 20th February order is passed that whereas bujhárát is not yet finished let 26th
February be fixed.
On 26th February order is passed for parties to remain in attendance until the assessment
is finished.
On 7th March adjournment for want of time.
On 8th March further adjournment.
On 17th March 1889 the attestation was completed, except for the disputed parchas;
and the Assistant Settlement Officer records a rubakari to this effect, and orders that after the
proceedings have been finished, copy of the parcha be published.
On 18th February 1891 order was passed : “To-day this record was put up. First
publication for this village having been made and objections having been decided, the records
have been corrected (misi safut taiyar hogayi). Let copies of the parcha be made over to the
kanungo to be given to the raiyats and maliks under rule 34, and let this record be put up
after the kanungo's report comes." With regard to the draft publication, I find a report of
kanungo Adhit Parshad, dated 9th December 1889, reporting his difficulties of which (as the
report is very interesting) I give a copy, together with copy of the Settlement Officer's
orders upon it. The Settlement Officer's orders were clearly proper so far as regards the
impossibility of making over the original record to the raiyats for taking copies.
that might of decreos. The usual for litiganestation, and at this bar
EXTRACT.
(Translated from Adhit Parshad Kanungo's report of 9th December 1889.)
“At the time of my explaining (the papers) all the raiyats press me so that work cannot go on. The
raiyats wish that the parchas should be given to them to read. They remain by me with pens, ink,
paper, and pencils and make copies of their numbers (i.e., of the field numbers which concern them). I
have only two muharrirs with me. The raiyats make such a clamouring that only 10 or 15 numbers
(? khatians) can be explained (? in a day). If I should make over the parchas to them they may be
injured......If I at all refuse to give copy of the numbers the raiyats make a noise and go away. Unless
Your Honour is present no raiyat will let the explanation go on...... and the work will not be finished
in a month.”
On this Mr. Collin passed orders :-
. “Adhit Parshad must make the best arrangement that he can. It would be well if the Assistant
Settlement Officer were to visit Bangaon and give this matter his personal attention. On no account should
the original record be made over to the raiyats.
E. W. COLLIN.
The 14th December 1891.
“If the raiyats do not choose to take advantage of the local explanation it is their own fault.”
E. W. COLLIN.
I do not find the report of completion of the draft publication, but there is a report of
the final publication made on the 15th March 1891, as follows:

khatians (2) and (3) mentioned in the last paragraph was, in fact, published under rule 34,
and therefore constitutes the binding record; but it seems to me to be probable that the second
series of khatians was finally published.

The 28th June 1892.
W. C. BOSE.
In the first series of khatians I find that Ajab Lal Chaudhri's jama is shown in red ink
as Rs. 3-13-6, but the entry, Rs. 3-13-6, is corrected to Rs. 4-9-9 in the second series, and it
is also shown as Rs. 4-9-9 in the third series.
Plot 2016 in this man's holding is shown as 12 cottahs in the first series, but 12 cottahs
is corrected by crossing through in the second series to 12 dhur, and it is shown as 12 dhur
in the third series.
It is also stated on behalf of the Raj that Ajab Lal Chaudhri's name has been omitted
in the decree of 28th October 1889, but that it ought to have been inserted. But the Raj
officers should have found this out when the decree was drawn up. It is customary in Civil
Courts for the pleaders on both sides to examine and sign the deorees.
28. I next take the case of Ajab Lal Khan; his jama was originally recorded in the
khatian volume series (1) as Rs. 16-11. This was corrected in that volume to Rs. 16-2-3.
In the volume of the second series Rs. 16-2-3 has been crossed out, and Rs. 15-9-9 is
substituted. In the volume of the third series Rs. 15-9-9 is shown.
Plot 1712 is shown as 1 bigha 7 cottahs in the first series. In the second series
1 bigha y cottahs is crossed out, and 1 bigha 4 cottahs is substituted. 1 bigha 4 cot-
tahs is repeated in the third series. I do not see that there is ground for thinking that any
mistake has been made here.
Next with regard to this raiyat's jama, the zamindar's servants point out that according
to the Settlement Officer's order of 17th September 1889, the jama of this raiyat should have
been calculated at 8 annas 63 pie for his sabik zamin, and at 12 annas for excess lands. He
points to a statement filed with the records on behalf of the zamindar on 5th February, show-
ing that this raiyat had 16 bighas of sabik zamin. He argues that deducting 16 bighas from
this raiyat's total area of 26 bighas ? cottahs 17 dhur, as shown in the khatians, his assessment
should have been-
Rs. A. P.

at the zamindar hadice a het objections for the objection post ble that such a
mehowever, as aborte much time in sounction was made, the draft publication
I point out that the zamindar had opportunity to object when the draft publication was
made under rule 33. To this it is replied that objection was made, but that still the khatian
was not corrected. I have spent much time in searching for the objection, but cannot find it.
The papers are, however, as above stated most voluminous, and it is quite possible that such an
objection may be among them. There were 1,800 petitions filed in this mauza.
29. It is not possible for me to give more time to the examination of these records.
I am ready to make two recommendations to the Board, viz., (i) That an officer be appointed,
preferably one of the Assistant Settlement Officers formerly employed on this estate
(Mr. Collin, the Settlement Officer, and Babu Barham.Deo Narain are both on furlough) to
examine the records, and if necessary take the affidavits of the kanungos who made the final
publication with a view.to certifying in each mauza bundle which of the khatian volumes
is the finally published record. It is absolutely essential for the guidance of the record-
keeper, and for the information of the courts which may call for the final record, that it should
be made clear which is the final and binding record. I have been unable to obtain the
attendance of any kanungo or muharrir who can point out to me what papers were actually
published.
(ii) I will recommend to the Board that the opinion of the Legal Remembrancer be
obtained on the points stated in paragraph 20 of these notes. If the Legal Remembrancer
advises that the records can be correoted, it will remain to be considered what action shall be
taken. But I doubt whether it will be in the general interests either of landlord or raiyats
to have any large revision proceedings:
W.C. MACPHERSON,
Ong. Director of the Dept. of Land Records
and Agriculture, Bengal.
The 26th July 1892.
No. 1151R., dated Bhagalpur, the 30th June 1892.
From-0. C. QUINN, Esq., Commissioner of the Bhagalpur Division and Sonthal
Parganas,
· To_The Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal.
I HAVE the honour to forward, for your information, a copy of the marginally-noted
letter from the Collector of Bhagalpur, with annexures, on
No. 535G., dated 9th June 1892
the subject of errors in the records-of-rights relating to the
Srinagar and Banaili estates.
2. The Collector's statement of the case is, I think, incomplete, owing to the fact that
he has not dealt with the original final, record-of-rights described in clause 2 of section 105,
Bengal Tenancy Act, but only with the copies made under Rule 35, Chapter VI of the rules
made by the Government of Bengal. It is quite clear that the original record-of-rights published
under the second clause of section 105 is the authoritative record, and that no copy, whether it
be the landlord's copy or the raiyat's parcha, can prevail against it. The question is whether
this original record, the disposal of which is not provided for in the rules, has any existence,
and if so, where it is to be found.
3. An inquiry has under my instructions been made into this matter by the Manager of
the Banaili estate, Babu Uma Churn Bose, under the Collector's supervision. From this it
has been ascertained that in the Collector's office there are filed two records-of-rights, the first
of which appears to be the khatian originally received from the Survey Department, and
subsequently completed by the Settlement Officer, and made the basis of the draft record
published under clause 1, section 105, and the second of which is what Mr. Wace calls the
Collector's copy. If any of the so-called copies is the original record as finally published under
clause 2, section 105, it seems that this record filed in the Collector's office is it; but there
should be no doubt as regards such a matter, and I presume that your office will be able to
clear up the point, and to say what record is the original and authoritative one. I may add
that, although it is certified in a proceeding attached to the records of each village that the final
record-of-rights was published on a certain date, a doubt has been expressed as to whether any
such publication really took place.
4. Once the original record has been identified, it should be referred to in any case of
dispute, and neither party can, I think, be prejudiced by any error in his copy or in that of
the opposite party. The proprietors of the Banaili and Srinagar estates should, I think, be
given the opportunity of having their copies brought into accord with the original, and where
there is any reason to believe that the raiyats? parchas are also incorrect, they should be given
the same opportunity, it being explained that po error in the parchas will be of any advantage
to the person concerned, and that it is for the benefit of all parties to have the errors corrected.
· The settlement establishments have been abolished, and the only authority under which
corrections can now be made is, I. think, that of the Collector, but it will be impossible to
compare the documents on a large scale, and correct them without a special establishment. I
would suggest that a beginning might be made in the Bhagalpur Collectorate, and that an
establishment of, say, two copyists and a comparer might be appointed at the cost of the
estates to work under a Deputy Collector. After the experience of a short time, say.a month,
a better estimate can be made of the extent of the work and the means necessary for its
performance, both in Bhagalpur and in the other Collectorates in which records have been filed.
(10
)
who Uno duly Prestol Anthe decisate disputed this
The work will, no doubt; be burdensome both to the establishments of the proprietors and to
the Collector's office, and will involve some expense: but I agree with the Collector that if the
copies of the record are incorrect, they should be corrected.
5. The next point is as regards the correctness of the original record itself, granting
that it is found and identified. Mr. Wace has pointed out that the result of the adjudication
in disputed cases is not always correctly embodied in the record-of-rights, and the question is
whether the record-of-rights can in such a case be corrected, and if so, by whom.
Under section 105 the publication of the final record is only conclusive evidence that it
has been duly made under the Act, and under section 109 it is only the undisputed entries'
which shall be presumed to be correct. It is not said that the final entries in disputed cases
shall have any special authority. .
On the other hand, the decision of the Settlement Officer under section 107 has the effect
of a decree. It appears, then, that disputed entries, if not in accordance with the decree of the
Settlement Officer, may be corrected, and this operation might also, I think, be performed by
the Collector's office.
6. To go back still a step further, there is the case in which the decree has not been
correctly framed in accordance with the judgment. This is case A in the Collector's letter.
I confess that I cannot quite see my way to the correction of such errors except by the mutual
consent of the parties. The Settlement Officer acted as a judicial officer, and as such is
fructus officio and has no successor. I think, then, that the decrees must be accepted as they
stand, unless the amendment is formally agreed to by both parties concerned.
7. The whole matter is a very difficult and embarrassing one, and the discovery of these
errors is likely to throw discredit on settlements under the Tenancy Act generally. It is also
a question with which I am not in a very good position to deal, as the proceedings were not
oarried out under my supervision or control. I would suggest that it would be very desirable
if you could spare the time to enquire into the matter personally on the spot, The Managers
of the Banaili and Srinagar estates are both at Bhagalpur, and would render you all the
assistance in their power to afford.

W. C. M.
No. 535G., dated Bhagalpur, the 9th June 1892.
: From-A. A. WACE, Esq , Collector of Bhagalpur,
To-The Commissioner of the Bhagalpur Division.
I HAVE the honour to submit herewith a copy of a letter, signed jointly by the Managers
of the Banaili and Srinagar Estates, relating to certain inaccuracies that have been discovered
in the final records of the survey and settlement lately completed in those estates. I also
submit a copy of the Assistant Settlement Officer's order regarding which the protest is made.
The statement attached to the letter is voluminous, and I need not trouble you with it, as the
totals are abstracted in the Manager's letter.
2. The discrepancies alluded to may be of several kinds (1) the decree may not agree
with the judgment; (B) the decree, though correctly framed on the judgment, may have
been incorrectly carried to the copy of the khatian given to the proprietor; and this may have
occurred in two ways-(a) either by a mere arithmetical mistake; (6) by a clerical mistake in
copying ; (C) the proprietor's copy of the khatian may not tally with the Collector's copy or
the patwari's copy (if the latter was issued); (D) the raiyat's copy may differ by a clerical
mistake in copying from either the proprietor's copy or the Collector's copy.
3. Now the reason for which the Assistant Settlement Officer rejected the Manager's
application may be sound as regards discrepancies A and B, though I confess that, considering
the heavy expenditure charged on the estates for these proceedings, it seems hardly creditable
that there should be so many inaccuracies as there appear to be in the records.
Discrepancy (C) would only cause confusion in the event of an appeal being made to the
Collector's record by either party on a conflict between the zamindar's khatian and the raiyat's
parchas. In such a case the Collector would have to refer back to the record in his office.
This matter, therefore, does not seem to require orders. Discrepancy (D) is the most serious
matter of all, and as regards this the Assistant Settlement Officer's reply seems to be absolutely
irrelevant and to miss the point. The Zamindar had a chance, it is true, of verifying the copy
of the khatian furnished to him with the records, but what chance had he of examining the
parcha issued to the raiyats within the time fixed by law and rules ? None. He tries to
collect Rs. 5 on the khatian issued to him, and the raiyat produces a parcha verified by the
same officer putting his rent at Rs. 3. What is he to do? It is absurd for the Assistant
Settlement Officer to suggest that the raiyat should come to the Collector and ask that a
record which fixes his rent as less than he knows he ought to pay should be corrected.
4. The Assistant Settlement Officer's arguments based on section 107 of the Tenancy
Act seems to me also unsound. He has interpreted in his reading of it the word “pending,”
which does not exist. A civil court will, I believe, with due notice to the parties, amend a
decree found to be not in accordance with a judgment at any time, and if the special officer
charged with a settlement is functus officio, I think that any Revenue Officer of the district
should correct his mistakes certainly at least as regards discrepancies of class D. For myself
(
1
I think A and B should also be corrected. It seems to me most unfair that we should not give
those who paid for this settlement the fullest benefit of it, and make the records as accurate as
they were meant to be. I also consider it very bad polioy, in view of the opposition to the
cadastral survey of Bihar, that we should leave it in the power of these zamindars to tell their
friends that after an expenditure of two and-a-half lakhs they are liable to the loss which, on
the Manager's representations, these inaccuracies seem to involve.
5. I have had the records examined by a Deputy Collector in respect of 8 of the mauzas
mentioned in the schedule of the Manager's letter. Matters seem not quite so bad as the
Managers make out, but even this enquiry shows 15 out of the 34 entries criticised by the
Managers to be inaccurate. In 14 of these cases the decree, though correctly drawn on the
judgment, was by a mistake in arithmetic incorrectly expressed in the landlord's khatian.
The Deputy Collector had not the raiyat’s parchas to compare, and I can hardly hope that no
mistakes occurred in them.
6. I think, therefore, that both landlords and raiyats should be free to apply to the
Collector of the district in whose office the records have been or may be finally deposited for
correction of any inaccuracies which they may find either in the papers furnished to them, or
in the records on which those papers are based. On receipt of such an application a notice
should issue to the party whom the correction sought would affect, and a Deputy Collector
should be empowered, after such notice duly served, whether the opposite party appeared
or not, to correct the record khatian or parcha.
I regret that the submission of this letter of Mr. Wace has been delayed by my office.
H. R. H. Coxe,
Collector.
• Dated Bhagalpur, the 11th March 1892.
From The Managers, Raj Banaili and Srinagar,
To-The Collector of Bhagalpur. .
We have the honour to represent to you that in the preparation of parchas in the Settle-
ment Department, which have been furnished to the Banaili and Srinagar estates, certain
clerical mistakes have crept in the matter of addition, which make the amounts put down in
the parchas different from the sums adjusted in the judgment and deorees. We are having
these mistakes found out, and so far as they have yet been ascertained in respect of 39 villages
of pargana Farkya in the Gogri Circle, they have been observed to have occurred in respect of
245 raiyats.
2. We beg to append a statement showing these 245 mistakes. If only these are
allowed to exist, the loss to both the estates from these only would amount to Rs. 886-3 per
annum, and that to the raiyats would be Rs. 144-1. We are led to believe that there are mis-
takes in other villages and parganas also, and the total loss will come to a very large figure.
As soon as they are ascertained, we shall submit to you lists showing them.
3. The parchas are supposed to be the final record of the settlement and to be prepared
according to the decrees which were passed under proceedings held under section 104, and
it is absolutely necessary that they should be corrected, otherwise the estates may be barred
by the principle of res judicata, and no civil court may go beyond the parchas, and refer
to the decrees which were passed.
4. To correct these mistakes, some applications were made to the Assistant Settlement
Officer, but he has rejected our prayer. A copy of his order is annexed.
5. The procedure he has pointed out, namely, that both parties should jointly apply to
the Collector in correcting the mistakes, is not possible to be carried out, for in no
case where the mistake favours the raiyats will they join the landlords to make such
application.
6. We therefore solicit the favour of your moving the higher authorities for directing
the Assistant Settlement Officer to correct the mistakes.
7. To avoid the technicalities, although we styled our application as one coming under
section 206 to correct a clerical error in the decree, it is really no part of his judicial
proceeding, but more an office act to make the final record tally with the judicial orders
that have been passed. Unfortunately, these errors could not be detected early. They were
found out when the patwaris were engaged in preparing the jamabandis, and we submit it
would not be fair to the proprietors to throw out their applications on the ground of delay.
As the Settlement Office will be abolished from the 15th of this month, we beg you will
be kind enough to take early action in the matter.
ORDER.
settlement records of pargana Farkya. Such applications can only be received under
sections 105 and 106 of the Tenancy Act. Both these sections lay down a limit of time
during which petitions like these can be admitted. The time is before the final publication
of the records. The records of these villages were finally published more than two years ago,
62
( 12 )
and deposited in the collectorate about a year ago. The applications are therefore inadmissable
under the law. . .
It is contended that decrees can be amended at any time under section 206 of the Civil
Procedure Code, the rules of the Civil Procedure Code being applicable to proceedings under
the Tenanoy Act, as provided in section 107 of that Act. The wording of that section is:
“In all proceedings for the settlement of rent under this chapter, the Revenue officer shall
adopt the procedure laid down in the Code of Civil Procedure for the trial of suits." But
when the records have finally been published and deposited in the collectorate, there is no
longer any proceeding pending in this Court, and the amendment of the decree is not a trial.
For these reasons I consider the grounds urged in support of the applications to be untenable.
Settlement Courts are not permanent courts, and if petitions of objections were received at
any time, the proceedings would never come to an end. The petitions are aocordingly
ordered to be returned, and if they are not taken back they will be filed..
It has been suggested to the petitioners' agents that both landlords and tenants can
present joint petitions to the Collectors, stating the mistakes desired to be corrected, and then
the mistakes can be corrected in the patwari's office. This order will apply to similar other
petitions.

No. 923A., dated Calcutta, the 27th October 1892...
From-0. W. Bolton, Esq., Secretary to the Board of Revenue, L.P.,
To-The Secretary to the Government of Bengal, Revenue Department.
In continuation of paragraph 2 of this office letter No. 8754, dated 24th
September 1892, I am directed to submit, for the
C. C. STEVENS, Esq.
imformation of Government, the following report
in regard to the legality of altering the settlement records of the Srinagar-
Banaili estates.
2. The Legal Remembrancer is of opinion that the case is one which is
not provided for in the Tenancy Act. But on general principles he sees nothing
to prevent the appointment of a Settlement Officer to correct the errors in the
record of rights when discovered, so as to embody therein correctly the decrees
made on disputed entries, and to make the decrees of his predecessor correspond
with the judgment given, where the errors and discrepancies are obvious, such
as arithmetical blunders. He adds that where the judgments and decrees are
those of the Special Judge, a Settlement Officer cannot correct without reference
to the Special Judge. But it appears to the Board that if it is a question of
merely correcting the records so as to make them conform with these decrees
and judgments, the Judge need not be consulted.
3. The course which the Board would suggest is that Babu Barhamdeo
Narayan be recalled to duty, and directed to examine the records of all the
villages and take the requisite steps to remove all doubt, as to the record of
rights finally published and make the requisite corrections. He should begin
at Bhagalpur and proceed thence to other districts where the records similarly
require revision. As much of the work was done by himself, and he also had
charge of the Settlement Office for some time, he is the officer best suited for the
work, and it need not occupy bim long, if he proceeds steadily and systema-
tically in examining the village papers.

In continuation of Government Order No. 4182L.R., dated the 1st Decem-
ber 1892, I am directed to inform the Board that Babu Barhamdeo Narayan
reported himself to this office on the 24th January 1893. He has now been
directed to report himself for duty, in the first instance, to the Collector of
Bhagalpur as early as possible.

in the Board's letter No. 923A., dated the 27th October 1892, in which the
Lieutenant-Governor is disposed to concur, I am to say that His Honour accepts
the proposals made in paragraph 3 of that letter that Babu Barhamdeo Narayan
should examine the records of all the villages and take the requisite steps to
remove all doubts as to the record of rights finally published, and make the
requisite corrections, and that he should begin at Bhagalpur and proceed thence
to other districts, where the records require similar revision. I am to add that.
the Deputy Collector should be informed that in these orders corrections of
inaccuracies of a clerical nature are contemplated. In case of doubt arising
in any case as to whether a correction should or should not be made he
should consult superior authority. The Lieutenant-Governor trusts that the
Board and the Director of Land Records and the local officers will carefully
supervise the proceedings and satisfy themselves that the revision is carried out
on correct principles.

Barhamdeo Narain'st reports furnish interesting and
useful information on many points, and the infor-
mation is in a sufficiently concise form, in view of the nature of the subjects

therefore, only offer brief remarks on points which appear to call for notice.

interested, and that the results have justified the
undertaking of the operations, but the time occu-
pied, the cost, the comparatively small return for the outlay from the proprietor's
point of view, the unsatisfactory disposal of the disputes in 22 out of 29 villages
of pargana Akbarabad in the Malda district by ex-parte decisions on the
appīication of the landlords, and the non-recovery of a large proportion of
the cost payable by the tenants are unfavourable features, which tend to detract
from the success of the settlement as a whole. Mistakes have further been lately
discovered in the settlement records, which have necessitated the recall of
Babu Barhamdeo Narain from leave for the purpose of making the requisite
corrections.
4. Mr. Collin's report is full, and his remarks on cultivation and crops, the
classification of the area, the holdings and the tenants, the special tenures, .
and the average rates of rent are specially interesting. With regard to the
lands recorded as the proprietors' referred to in paragraphs 52 and 55, it may
be hoped that they have been treated as private lands consistently with the pro-
visions of section 120 of the Tenancy Act. It is also not clear what the steps were
which the law required the landlords to take, and they failed to take, in order .
to admit of the assessment of rent on the invalid rent-free tenures mentioned
in paragraph 53. It is certainly unfortunate that the landlord should have failed
to establish a right to receive rent from these tenants. The average rates of
rent (paragraph 78) are moderate, and it would appear, as stated by Mr. Collin,
that the proprietors have in the past acted considerately towards their raiyats.
As regards the general result of the settlement on the rental, the Board are dis-
posed to agree that there has been a real net increase, much of the demand shown
in the zamindars' rent-roll having been fictitious, but it may be doubted whether
the proprietors have received all the increase which they might reasonably
have expected, in view of the excess cultivation brought to light and the
fact that the rents now settled will not be liable to enhancement for 15
years. The rate of 10 annas per bigha recorded for villages of pargana
Akbarabad for instance, appears unduly.low.
5. The Director has been asked to submit further reports on the following
points:-
(a) Maintenance of records.- It is desirable to know whether the late
Srinagar ward is making any attempt to keep up the settle-
ment records.

In continuation of correspondence ending with my letter No. 1113, dated 14th July
1892, I have the honour to submit revised copies of Mr. Collin's report on the settlement
of the Banaili and Srinagar estates and of Munshi Barhamdeo Narain's supplementary

Bihar, and Chittagong operations I have had no time to review this report, and I now submit
the papers without any comments in order that consideration of them by the Board and by
Government may not be further delayed.
· No. 2087R., dated Bhagalpur, the 27th September 1892.
From-0. O. QUINN, Esq., Commissioner of the Bhagalpur Division and Sonthal
Parganas,
To-The Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal.
· WITH reference to your No. 1051T.A., dated the 7th July 1892, and previous
correspondence, on the subject of the report on the settlement of the Banaili and Srinagar
Estates, I have the honour to forward a copy of the Collector of Bhagalpur's letter No. 1278
of the 15th instant, and to offer the following remarks.
2. The revised copy of Mr. Collin's report and Babu Barhamdeo's supplementary
report were not received until July last, which may explain the delay in the submission of
the Collector's observations. Unfortunately Mr. Wace, who was the Managing Collector of
the Srinagar Estate during the greater part of the settlement proceedings, has since been
transferred, and the present Officiating Collector has no personal knowledge of the
operations.
3. The only work remaining to be done is the realization of the balance of the cost of
settlement from the proprietors of the Srinagar Estate and the raiyats respectively. This
matter is now engaging the Collector's attention and will have to be pushed on,
The recovery of the share of the costs payable by the raiyats is likely to give some
trouble. The task has been undertaken in the first instance by the Tahsildari Establishment
of the Srinagar Estate in consultation with the Collector of Bhagalpur, but failing this
agency, it will be necessary to file certificates for the balance.
4. The survey had been completed and the settlement was well advanced when I joined
the Division. I had no concern in the initiatory measures, all the arrangements having been
already made and the lines to be followed baving been laid down.
The only portion of the work which has come before me is that connected with disputed
boundaries.
As will be seen from the figures given in paragraph 99 of Mr. Collin's report, the
proportion of cases in which the Settlement Officer's decision was reversed or modified is not
large, but, as might be expected, where the inquiry is of a summmary nature, a considerable
number of cases were remanded for further inquiry or report.
5. In one of the last cases appealed to the Board of Revenue, the question was for the
first time raised whether the provisions of the Survey Act (Act V (B.C.) of 1875] were appli-
cable to the survey. It had been all along assumed that the survey was made under that Act,
and the Board finally decided to reject the appeal based on the opposite contention. The
question, however, is an important one, and the matter should be made quite clear in future
surveys and settlements under the Bengal Tenancy Act, as if the provisions of the Survey Act
are not made applicable. The boundary disputes between estates brought under settlement
( 17')
i
thigherto legally want point whenhough of course tsuming
and those lying outside this area will be left unsettled, the disputed boundary lines being
merely traced on the map; whereas, if the survey is made under the Act, the boundary can
be determined according to possession under section 41. .
. I think there can be no doubt that these disputes, which are likely to be stirred into
activity by the survey proceedings, should, in the interests of the public peace, be at least
temporarily disposed of pending a reference to the Civil Court, otherwise the proceedings are
likely to be followed by distrubances, each party being desirous to establish possession over
as much as possible of the disputed area before going to Court.
: 6. The effect of the settlement on the rental is discussed at some length by Mr. Collin,
and the results are finally summarised in paragraph 26 of Babu Barhamdeo Narain's report.
His conclusions differ from those stated by the Manager in his final report on the manage-
ment of the estate, as the latter does not admit that there has been any increase.
The explanation is that the Manager treats the rental according to the office
jamabandis as the actual rental, whereas the Settlement Officer takes as the “former rent”
the amounts admitted by the raiyats, or in disputed cases those ascertained as payable by the
settlement proceedings.
It is clear that the letter is the correct method, and it may, I think, bo accepted that
the increase recorded by the Settlement Officer is a real and bona fide increase over the rent
hitherto legally recoverable, though not over the nominal rent entered in the jamabandi.
This is an important point when considering the cost and compensating advantages of settle-
ment under the Tenanoy Act, though of course the benefit to the proprietor cannot be fully
measured by a mere increase of the rental. Assuming the actual rent to be unaltered, the
increase in the percentage of the demand, which can be recovered by the ordinary collecting
establishment in these estates since the settlement and record of rights, must be taken into
account. This increase might, I think, at a moderate estimate, be put as 10 per cent. The
actual difference between the percentage of collections before and after settlement is greater.
In 1886-87, the year preceding the commencement of the survey, the collections were only
65 per cent. In the following year in which the proceedings were begun they were 70 per
cent., while in the year 1890-91, after the settlement had been virtually completed over the
greater part of the area, they were over 100 per cent.
7. Additional rent was claimed only for excess areas under section 52 (a) of the Bengal
Tenanoy Act, and the difficulty of dealing with such cases owing to the absence of any trustworthy
records of the areas covered by the existing rent is explained in the report. The settle-
ment in this respect was largely the result of compromise-a mode of settlement which gives
the best guarantee of permanence.
8. From an administrative point of view, the settlement, though it may not be
altogether free from imperfections and technical defects, has, I think, been à decided success,
and has been for the benefit of both landlord and tenant. A difficulty has since arisen, owing
to errors and discrepancies discovered in the landlord's and tenants' copies of the khatian jama-
bandi. This matter forms the subject of a separate correspondence. It may give some trouble,
but cannot, I think, seriously affect the general result of the settlement.
Tenancy & the areas was largely to

From-H. R. H. Coxe, Esq., Offg. Collector of Bhagalpur,
To-The Commissioner of the Bhagalpur Division.
. With reference to the correspondence ending with your endorsement No. 1390R, dated
23rd July 1892, I have the honour to say that, after carefully going through Mr. Collin's and
Babu Barhamdeo Narain's reports, I do not see that I can make any useful comments upon
them. As regards the point specially referred to me, viz, the discrepanoy between Mr. Collin's
report and the views of the manager of the Banaili Estate as to the effect of the settlement on
the rental, I cannot give any opinion on the matter, as I am not in possession of any of the
Manager's calculations. The general question whether the rental has increased or not has
been fully dealt with in paragraph 85 of Mr. Collin's report.
As regards recovery of costs, I am endeavouring to ascertain exactly what is due. I have
got from the Accountant-General lists of receipts and expenditure, and have checked these by
reference to the Treasury Officers of the districts in which the estates lie. I hope that this
checking will be completed before my return from camp, and that we shall then be in a
position to state precisely what is due from each part of the estate. I regret to say that at
Nowhatta, where the work seems to have been done with special care, I found that the
specimen parchas selected by me at random did not correspond at all with what the villagers
said to me regarding their fields. I am stating more exactly the result of my enquiries in
my diary.
No. 447, dated Monghyr, the 26th March 1892.
From-BABU BARHAMDEO NARAIN, Assistant Settlement Officer in charge Banaili
and Srinagar Settlement,
To-The Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal.
Preliminary.--I have the honour to submit the following report on the completion of the
settlement of the Banaili-Srinagar estates in the districts of Bhagalpur, Monghyr, Malda,
Purnea, and Dharbhanga.
(
18 ).
2. Brief nature of this report.-Mr. Collin was the Settlement Officer from the begin.
ning of the operations in November 1887 to 11th May 1891, when he made over charge to
me. He submitted a printed report No. 2004., dated the 7th July 1891, from Darjeeling,
while he was on privilege leave. This report was submitted after completion of the bulk of
the work, and is meant to be the final report. In it he has given all the requisite information
that could be supplied. The report which I have now the honour to the submit will be neces-
sarily.confined to a statement of the work that was left to be done by me, and the manner in
which it has been done.
3. List of work left when Mr. Collin made over charge.--The following work was left in
hand in the beginning of last May, viz:-
(1) Settlement of pargana Akbarabad, in the Malda district, containing 29 villages,
with an area of 10,329 acres or 17 square miles.
(2) Completion of the settlement of pargana Kotwali in Malda containing 20
villages, with an area of 2,040 acres or 31 square miles.
(3) The re-settlement of mauza Nowhatta, pargana Kubkhand, with an area of
5,180 acres.
(4) Re-writing of the records of two villages, Bungaon and Chainpur, pargana
Uttarkhand, with an area of 8,324 acros and 19,169 khasra number in con-
sequence of presentation at the time of final publication of the records of
1,600 petitions of compromise for transfers of fields from one purcha to another
(5) Preparation of the records for deposit in the Collectorate.
(6) Preparation of the village statement showing average size of the holdings of
various classes of tenants for five parganas containing 150 villages of the
Malda district, and the preparation of the statistical statements 20A to 20F
for the two parganas of the same district.
(7) The fixing of boundary pillars along the disputed boundaries in 103 villages of
the districts of Bhagalpur, Monghyr, Purnea, and Malda according to the
terms of the decision arrived at.
(8) Preparation of traces for correction of the maps according to the orders passed
in course of settlement, and disposal of boundary dispute oases.
(9) Adjustment of accounts with the Accountant-General for the whole period of
operation,
(10) Other miscellaneous work.
4. The settlement of pargana Akbarabad.—The chief work to be done was the settlement ,
of pargana Akbarabad in the Malda district, comprising twenty-nine villages grouped in five
talukas, viz:-
Gopinathpur containing
by villages.
Moostafapur
Srinibashpur ,
Hadinagar and Mahammadpur containing
Lakhmipur and Bishnuprasad »
The tenants of seven villages in taluka Gopinathpur and fifteen villages in taluka Moos-
tafapur refused to attend the settlement proceedings in spite of all efforts made to secure their
attendance, and the settlement of these villages had consequently to be done ex-parte. I give
below a concise narrative of the circumstances of this pargana, of the efforts made to secure
the attendance of the raiyats, and their attitude towards the settlement.
5. The previous history of the pargana.-- The bulk of the raiyats of this pargana belong
to a particular clan of Muhammadans called Sershabadya. A section of this community lives
in pargapa Akbarabad belonging to the Baneili-Srinagar estates, and the main body lives in
pargana Sershabad belonging to Raja Soorjakant Acharji of Mymensingh. The tenants
of this class are notorious for their hostile attitude towards the zamindars. The raiyats of
pargana Akbarabad, who, like other raiyats of the Baneili-Srinagar estates in the Malda
district, have paid rent at the uniform rate of 10 annas per bigha from very ancient time have
resisted all attempts of the landlords to assess to rent any newly-cultivated area by a fresh
measurement of the village. Whenever the villages were measured, the raiyats, instead of
paying enhanced rent, claimed reduction of rent, saying the luggee of the village was much
larger than that used. They urged such claims in the civil courts, but the matter was never
adjudicated.
6. The attitude of the Akbarabad raiyats towards the settlement.-The settlement of the
pargana was taken up by the late Assistant Settlement Officer, Babu Bipin Behari De, in
1890. The first question started was regarding the standard of measurement about which
the parties bad been at variance from before. During the pendency of this case, which is
called the luggee case, the tenants, as well as the landlords' agents, attended and conducted
the case. The tenants claimed the length of the measuring pole to be of 51 cubits, each cubit
being of 22 inches. The landlords claimed the standard of 4 cubits, each cubit being of 18
inches according to the standard Bengal bigha. The Assistant Settlement Officer held the
standard luggee of the 22 villages comprised in taluka Gopinathpur and Moostafapur to be of
5 cubits, each cubit being of 18 inches. In coming to this conclusion, he was guided by the
standard mentioned for these villages in the papers of the revenue survey. Both parties
appealed to the Special Judge against this decision, and during the pendency of the appeal,
both wished to have the proceedings adjourned. It subsequently transpired that, on the part
of the raiyats, this was a mere excuse to delay the settlement to which they were opposed.
The appeal was decided in April 1891, and the decision of the Lower Court was upheld, not
POP
( 19
)
on the strength of the entries existing in the Revenue Survey papers, but because the recorded
areas of the holdings agreed more nearly with a pole of 5 cubits than any other standard.
As soon as the appeal was decided, Mr. Collin took up the settlement of the pargana and
went into the villages for the purpose. ' The raiyats refused to supply him with any informa-
tion and combined to obstruct the settlement. Their attitude is described by him in his letter
No. 40, dated the 30th April 1891, to your address.
7. Steps taken by Mr. Collin to secure the attendance of the Akbarabad raiyats.-It was
believed that the raiyats fought shy of the settlement proceeding because they were afraid of
enhancement of rent by increase of area. In order to remove this apprehension on their part
it was arranged, in a conference held at Bhagalpur, that the landlords will not apply for
enhancement of rent on account of increase of area. The concession made was communicated
to the raiyats, but had no effect on them. They wanted a guarantee of immunity from all
future enhancement, and to be declared as fixed-rent raiyats. Mr. Collin fined some of the
tenants for disobedience of summonses under the Civil Procedure Code, and committed others
to the Magistrate for trial under the Penal Code. The latter also were fined, the ringleader
Siraj being fined Rs. 51.
8. Steps taken by the Assistant Settlement Officer to secure the attendance of the raiyats.-
When I took over charge, I at first attempted to appease the temper of the raiçats by
conciliatory treatment, and instead of summoning them to Court, I went to the houses of
some leading raiyats who were reported to be sensible men, and with their aid I assem-
bled a certain number of raiyats in the village of Gangaprasad, when I explained to
them, calmly and temperately, that they had nothing to lose, but much to gain, by the
settlement. They seemed to be impressed for the time being with what I said, but ultimately
oscillated to their former attitude. The aid of the Collector of the district was then
sought for. He also sent for some leading raiyats and advised them, but with no better
results. The matter being reported to the Director of the Department of Land Records
and Agriculture, he came to Malda on the 12th June last. More than 100 raiyats appeared
to him by previous arrangement. He heard them in presence of the Collector of the district
and that of Mr. Collin who had accompanied him, and after holding a conference drew up a
memorandum that was fully explained to the raiyats, and a vernacular version was delivered to
them on their receipt. The substance of the memorandum was that I should go to the villages
and record the status of the raiyats according to evidence, and that, if they did not attend,
I should proceed ex-parte, and the proceeding would be binding on them. I accordingly went
to the villages again after giving due notice, but the raiyats did not again attend. I again
tried persuasion, calling special attention to section 105 of the Tenancy Act, but the raiyats
continued to be recusant. All these steps were taken in connection with the preliminary
proceeding of Bajharat and attestation of the existing rent. When cases for settlement of
fair rent were instituted on the application of the landholders, then summonses were issued
for service on each tenant in order that each individual raiyat may have the opportunity
of knowing the institution of the case, and of defending it. There were about 2,000 processes
issued in this way, and the work entailed heavy labour on myself and the office. Besides
the work of writing, issuing and serving the processes, the serving peon and the identifier
had to be examined on oath regarding service on each individual raiyat. The summonses
were served on the persons of many, and affixed to the houses of others. The latter
service was declared to be sufficient under section 82 of the Civil Procedure Code, as it was
transparent that the raiyats were intentionally avoiding the service of the summons. It was
often reported that the raiyats went into the inner compartments of their houses on seeing
the process peons approach them. The majority of those on whom the summonses had been
served did not appear, and as they had been summoned also as witnesses to state facts regard-
ing their holding, and thus to make their attendance compulsory, some of them were again
prosecuted and fined. A few stray raiyats did appear and were examined by court. Even
they did not defend the cases, nor stated the particulars of their holdings, but pretended
ignorance. They came simply to escape prosecution. It will be seen thus that we have tried
all means in our power to secure the attendance of the raiyats. We have tried by turn per-
suasion, prosecution and issue of processes, but the raiyats continued to keep aloof.
9. Apparent causes of the apathy of the Akbarabad raiyats to settlement. Following are
some of the causes of the apathy of the Akbarabad raiyats to the settlement proceeding. They
considered the measurement to be at the instance of the Raj, and as they had rendered the
previous measurement by the landlords futile, they wished to do the same again by holding
off. They also grow suspicious by the Raj having spent a large sum of money on this survey,
and they argued that the Raj could not have done so unless there was some prospect of the
increase of rental now or hereafter. Many leading raiyats and some local agents of the Raj
cultivate several abandoned holdings without paying any rent for them, and it was to their
interest not to allow all this confusion to be cleared up. A uniform rate of rent has existed
in all the Banaili Raj villages of the Malda district from time within recollection, though all
the tenants are not fixed-rate raiyats, the holdings of many being of recent origin. If the
status of the raiyats had been determined by evidence, there should have been two classes of
tenants in each village. The raiyats considered this distinction to be very undesirable. It is
also possible that the leading man among them, who was entrusted with money raised by
subscription to conduct the case, continued to rouse the feelings of the raiyats, and did not
allow the matter to be settled from motives of personal gain and influence. I am not in a
position to say that if we had persisted for a long time, we might not have been able to secure
their attendance, but the delay would have been unreasonable and out of all proportion to the
importance of the matter.

10. Settlement made ex-parte.- Under the circumstances stated above, the settlement of
talukas Gopinathpur and Moostafapur were made ex-parte in most cases. The settlement of
taluka Gopinathpur was made by Mr. Collin. He recorded only the existing rent, and
presumed that to be the fair rent, the landlords having foregone their right of assessment of
the excess area. The existing rent was recorded according to the hustabud of the zamindar.
After publication of the draft records of this taluka, the landlords presented a number of
petitions of objection, saying that several jamas entered in the hustabud did not find place
in the settlement records. In course of enquiry in these cases, it came to light that many
raiyats of this taluka held very much more or less land than what was entered in the hustabud
in their names, and the rent recorded as payable was out of all proportion to the area held by
them. This was because the raiyats had altered their holdings without giving information to
the landlords' agents for correction of the hustabud. The settlement of taluka Moostafapur
was made subsequently by me. In this taluka also there was the same disparity between the
area found by measurement and the rent entered in the hustabud. I accordingly fixed the
rental of each holding in this taluka according to the area found by this survey at the village
rate of 10 annas 8 pies including batta. This village rate had been admitted by both parties,
and there was no dispute regarding the rate.
11. Settlement of other talukas of pargana Akbarabad.-The raiyats of other talukas of
this pargana readily attended the settlement proceedings. In taluka Srinibashpur the existing
rent was correctly recorded according to the unanimous statement made by both parties. The
same was held to be fair rent, as no previous measurement papers, according to which the
rent had been originally fixed, could be produced for being compared with the present measure-
ment. The raiyats of this taluk also claimed to be fixed-rate iaiyats, and as it was admitted
by the patwari that the rate and the rent in this taluka had not been altered within 20 years,
nor within time under recollection, they were with some exceptions held to be fixed-rate
raiyats. The existing rent only was recorded regarding the village of Muhaumadpur, as
there was no application for settlement of fair rent by either party ; and although a portion
of the village had diluviated, the raiyats, in order to preserve their rights, did not desire a
reduction of rent. The whole of Haddinagar had submerged in the Ganges and emerged
after two years, when one Babu Bhagwati Churn Roy, the owner of an Indigo factory, who
has several villages on the border of Haddinagar, forcibly sowed indigo on the newly-formed
land. The dispute was to be tried under the Survey Act between him and the Banaili Raj,
but it was compromised by Bhagwati Churn acknowledging the proprietary right of the
Banaili Raj, and the latter agreeing to give him a lease of the land at 8 annas per bigha.
The old raiyats of Haddinagar contended that their occupancy right in the land had not been
extinguished by diluvion, while the landlords urged that they had lost the right by non-pay-
ment of the rent. This matter also was compromised by the lands being settled with the old
raiyats at 11 annas per bigha. Bhagwati Churn thus becomes the middle-man, making a
profit of 3 annas per bigha. In Lakhmipur taluka, comprising two villages, the settlement
of Lakhmipur itself was made at the village rate on the area found by this survey, as this
village contains deara land and the rent recorded was not found correct with reference to the
present area. In the other village, Bishnuprasad, of this taluka the existing rent only was
recorded and held to be fair, application for enhancement of the rent having been with-
drawn.

The increase of rental in talukas Gopinathpur and Srinibashpur is on account of assess-
ment of the new holdings.
13. The settlement of pargana Kotwali.-The settlement of pargana Kotwali was made
partly by me: but objections under sections 105 and 106 were all decided by me. There was
no increase of area in this pargana, and in the majority of the cases the landlords did not
apply for settlement of fair rent. The existing rent only was consequently recorded in those
cases. In a few cases in which there were applications for settlement of fair and equitable
rent, the excess area was assessed after an allowance of 2 cottahs in the bigha, or without any
allowance when both parties presented petitions of compromise to that effect. There was no
dispute regarding the standard of measurement in the majority of the villages of tbis pargana,
( 21 )
,
and the raiyats did not seem to care much about the allowance. The rental of this pargana
by the present settlement amounts to Rs. 1,094-13-7 against Rs. 874-14-3, the former rental.
It is payable by 1,042 raiyats for an area of 1,637 acres.
14. Settlement of mauza Nawhatta, pargana Khubkhand. In the large village of
Nawhatta in pargana Khubkhand, containing an area of 5,180 acres with 1,061 holdings, the
Baneili and the Srinagar estates together own 12 annas share. The remaining 4 annas share
belong to the resident proprietors of the village, who are the descendants of the former
zamindars of the pargana. The settlement of the village was taken up by me in March 1889,
when the proprietors of the 12 annas share, namely, the Banaili and the Srinagar proprietors,
applied for settlement of fair rent under the second clause of section 104, but withdrew the
application without permission to bring a fresh suit. The existing rent only was consequent-
ly ascertained under the first clause of section 104; and the draft records were published on:
that basis. Both the landlords and the tenants then presented a certain number of petitions of
objections under section 106 regarding some entries of the existing rent made in the records,
but the landlords also renewed their application for assessment of the excess area. The
Assistant Settlement Officer, Babu Jagudas Bhattacharjee, then in charge of the settlement
work in pargana Khubkhand, granted the application and assessed the excess area, deciding the
question of rate in the same case. An appeal being preferred to the Special Judge, he held
the whole proceeding to be void, firstly, because he considered that the Government notifica
tion under section 101 did not apply to this village; and secondly, because the 4 anpas pro-
prietors had not joined in the application for settlement. It was found subsequently that
There had been a special notification of Government regarding this village. An application
for review of judgment was accordingly made by the landlords to the Special Judge. He
admitted the mistake so far, but did not grant the review on the second ground of the non-
joinder of the 4 annas proprietors, observing at the same time that it was open to the Settle-
ment Officer to make a fresh settlement. Agreeably to this suggestion, I gave notice to the
parties that I would go to the village on the 20th October for a fresh settlement. After three
or four days' stay in the village, the representatives of the Raj succeeded in inducing the 4
annas proprietors to join in the application for settlement on the promise that they will not
be charged with the cost of the settlement. The necessary processes to the raiyats were issued
then, and the trial commenced in the middle of November and lasted until the end of the
month. At the termination of the trial the landlords wanted an adjournment to bring a
pleader to argue the case. In the meantime I had to come away to head-quarters to write the
annual and the half-yearly reports, and to dispose of other works that had accumulated in my
absence. The case was ultimately decided about the end of December. The decision was to
the effect that the excess area should be assessed after the usual allowance of 3 cottahs in the
bigha on account of difference in the system of measurement and exclusion of recorded birur
lands (seed-beds). The dispute regarding the rate was with 50 tenants only, and has been
decided in their favour, chiefly because the hustatud and the wasil-baki papers of the land-
lords were not found to be consistent with each other. In deciding this case, I had to consi-
der 2,432 documents that had been produced. As I remained in the village for several weeks,
the raiyats availed themselves of this opportunity to ask me to give them access to the records.
I gave them free access, and the result was that they presented 283 petitions of objections,
some of them being for partal. All these petitions were disposed of in the village in the
month of December, some of them as cases under section 106. Since then the orders passed
on the petitions have been carried out; the records have been re-arranged for final publica-
tion; the terij and the deoree have been prepared; the necessary number of copies have been
made for final publication and distribution to the tenants and the landlords. The final pub-
lication was also made after the records had been checked and compared by the agents of the
Raj. The records were finally classified, and, after preparation of the fly-leaves, were deposit-
ed in the Collectorate at Bhagalpur on the 11th instant. Many raiyats of Nawhatta, to
whom the parchas had been distributed, brought them up to me for explanation of any matter
which they could not understand, or for correotions of mistakes where they were explained to
them; and the mistakes where they were found to exist were correoted before the deposit of
the records in the Collector's record-room. The total rental of Nawhatta by the present
settlement amounts to Rs 6,343 against the former rental of Rs. 6,073.
15. Preparation of their cords of Bangaon and Chainpur, -These are two large villages in
pargana Uttarkhand with a total area of 8,324 acresand containing 2,085 raiyati holdings.
The inhabitants of these villages are literate and intelligent men of the Brahman caste. They
are always on the alert respecting their rights and interests, and have evinced a keen inter.
est in the settlement proceedings.' Numerous mistakes of measurement, Ichanapuri and of
other kinds were rectified at their instance at the time of bajhurat and after the publication of
the draft records. The records were taken to the village for final publication in March 1891.
The raiyats again sent up a petition to the Settlement Officer, asking for permission to get
fields transferred from one parcha to another by mutual agreement. In order to ensure
accuracy of the reeords and to remove all complaints, this request of theirs was granted. They
accordingly presented about 1,600 petitions of objection and compromises. They were all
disposed of in course of one month, in April 1891, by me; but the changes involved the
remoulding and rewriting of the whole records. The records had to be re-arranged, fresh terij
and fresh copies of parchas had to be made, and I had personally to see how the orders passed
on each petition had been carried out, so that there may not be any further complaint. The
records were distributed again in last November in my presence, when I again heard what
the raiyats had to say and corrected a few mistakes of copy. The records of these two
villages also have been now deposited in the Collectorate.
and that had be this opports that they
( 22 )
. 16. Deposit of the Malda records in the Collectorate.-The records of the two párganas
Akbarabad and Kotwali were finally published in the first week of October, after which
I went away to Nawhatta. During my absence the stock of forms fell short owing to failure
of a press that had undertaken to supply them to do so in proper time. The necessary number
of the copies were therefore not prepared until the end of November, after which the Manager
of the Baneili Raj wrote me a letter asking me to allow his agents an extension of time to
check the records, and compare the copies before they took delivery of the same. This
request was complied with, and after the records had been checked by the landlords'
agents as well as by me, and the fly-leaves had been written and the books bound, they were
deposited in the Malda Collectorate in the third week of last January. The other records of
Malda had been deposited in the Collectorate before that time.
17. Preparation of the statistical statements.-The statistical statements, 20 to 20F, for
parganas Akbarabad and Kotwali, and the village statements prescribed in the inspection
memorandum of His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor for all the five parganas under settle-
ment of the Malda district that were not ready until submissson of Mr. Collin's report, have
been prepared since then and submitted to you with this office letter No. 322, dated the 26th
January last.
18. Demarcation of disputed boundaries.-Boundary pillars along the disputed boundaries
have been fixed in all the villages selected for the purpose, except tuppeh Pratabpur, in par-
gana Mahinagar of the Malda district, that was reported by the local agents of the Raj to be
covered by thick jungle and unfit to be demarcated in the cold weather. I will leave a man
to go there in the first week of April. I have included his pay for that period in the
accounts. He will submit his report to the Collector of Malda. In course of fixing the
boundary pillars, new disputes arose in four villages only. In two villages, Utesra and Mati-
hani, in pargana Farkya, the Raj agents stated that they had pointed out certain lands to the
survey amin which they omitted to measure and to include in the map, and that they had dis-
covered the mistake at the time of fixing the boundary pillars. In one village, Lewa,
pargana Farkya, it was found that the survey map did not correctly describe the course of
à river. In the fourth village, Badh Chanr, pargana Farkya, it was contended that the
pillars fixed were not according to the decision. The last two disputes have been settled
amicably. The petition of the Raj regarding Utesra was at first rejected by me as coming
too late, but the Commissioner sent the case back for enquiry as to whether or not the land
was included in the khasra. Though excluded from the map, I found that the land was
included in the khasra, but an appeal has been preferred to the Commissioner by the opposite
party against this finding. I found the disputed land in Matihani to have been neither
included in the khasra nor in the map, and as the objection was presented at the close of
the work long after the records had been deposited in the Collectorate, I have rejected the
petition of objection, but an appeal has been preferred to the Commissioner against this order
also. These are the only two appeals pending before the Commissioner.
19. Supply of traces for the correction of the maps. Traces for correction of maps accord-
ing to decision in the boundary dispute cases, and according to orders passed in course of
settlement for diversion or alteration of fields, have been supplied to the Surveyor-General
regarding all the remaining villages, numbering about 165, and all his objections have been
removed and explanations given. In some villages, like Bangaon and Chainpur, the pre-
paration of the amended map and khasra entailed heavy work, as the alterations were
numerous. In the village of Bangaon and Chainpur the number of corrections amounted
to 802.
20. Verification of the account.—The accounts have been compared and verified with
the Accountant-General up to 31st December 1891, and all the numerous discrepancies have
been reconciled and his letters answered. The accounts for the current quarter are simple,
but as the quarter has not expired yet, I have not received his quarterly statements.
21. Judicial work done during the period of report. The subjoined table shows the
judicial work done during the period covered by this report, viz. from May 1891 to
March 1892:-

It will not be necessary to make any alterations in the records if the judgments are
upheld, but if any alteration is ordered to be made by the Appellate Court, the Collector of the
district to which the case relates might be asked to note the alteration in the records that
are in his office.
23. Sise of holdings in mausa Nawhatta.-Mr. Collin has reported on the material
condition of the raiyats of the tracts under settlement, and I give below a classification of the
tenants of Nawhatta according to the size of their holding, from which some idea can be
formed of the pressure of population on the land :-
Number of holdings with an area under 5 Bihar bighas
Ditto with areas between 5 and 10 Bibar bighas ...
Ditto with an area between 10 and 25 Bihar bighas... 93
Ditto
with an area between 25 and 50 Bihar bighas... 18
Ditto with areas above 50 Bihar bighas
The size of holdings in the neighbourhood of Nohatta is not as large as that of Nohatta,
as the inhabitants of Nohatta are traders, Raj servants, Brahminns and Rajputs having
influence with the Raj family and Raj officials, Nohatta is the head-quarters of the Raj
tahsil cirole of pargang Khubkhand and Utarkhund, and the residents thereof enjoy all the
advantages of a strong and influential class of tenants. The raiyats in the other villages
of the pargana do not belong to so favourable a class, and their condition is much depressed.
24. Condition of the raiyats in pargana Akbarabad. The condition of the raiyats of
pargana Akbarabad and Kotwali is prosperous, except in one taluka, Srinibashpur, of which
the soil is comparatively poor, being mostly sandy. The rate of rent in these parganas is
about 10 annas per bigha, and the crops grown are mulberry and mangoes that yield more
profit than ordinary staple crops. Pue settlement papers do not, however, contain a correct
information regarding the size of holdings, as the zamindar's fiscal arrangement of this
parana is talukwar, each raiyat holding lands in several villages of the same taluka, but
· paying one lump rental for the whole. In the settlement papers, however, the lands held
by each raiyat in each village is recorded as a separate holding; and as the lands held by
one individual raiyat in several villages have not all been measured in his own name, but
some in his own name and others in the names of his relatives, the real size of an individual
raiyat's holding cannot consequently be ascertained from the settlement papers. The follow-
ing table, however, shows the average size of holdings in parganas Akbarabad and Kotwali
for each class of tenant according to the information that is available :-

25. Source of information regarding produce per bigha and the price of jute.--I was required
to report from what source the information supplied by Mr. Collin, regarding the productive
powers of land and the produce per bigha, was derived, and whether the price of jute in the
Purnea district was correctly stated in his report. My information is that the produce per
bigha was ascertained by enquiry from trustworthy persons, but not by actual weighment
of the crop. The price of jute in Purnea in 1889-90 was stated in the report, but it has risen
considerably since then.
26. The net expenditure on the Survey and Settlement.--The net expenditure on this
survey and settlement amounts to Rs. 3,00,409-14-9, as detailed in the several statements
submitted to you with my letter No. 448 of this day's date. Of this sum, Rs. 40,927-5 is
payable by the tenants, Rs. 1,50,808-11-1 by the Srinagar Estate, Rs. 1,08,385-14-3 by the
Baneili Raj, and Rs. 288-0-5 by the shareholders in mauza Mohanpur and Badh Takhuti;
the total amount payable by the proprietors is thus Rs. 2,59,482-9-9. The net increase of
rental, acoording to Statement F, now amounts to Rs. 23,637-1-4, of which the capitalized
( 24
)
value at 20 years' purchase would be Rs. 4,72,741-10-8. The proprietors thus make a net
profit of Rs 2,13,259-0-11 in the shape of the capitalized value of the increase in the rental,
besides obtaining facility of collection and of future enhancements, security of the boundaries,
and a complete hold on the conduct of their own employés. The subjoined table shows the
net profit of each proprietor:-

27. The total area surveyed is 447,189, and that settled 426,269 acres 1 rood 1 pole.
The average expenditure on the area surveyed now comes to annas 10-9 per acre, and on the
area settled to annas 11-3 per acre.
28. Recovery of cost from the tenants. - As stated in paragraph 105 of Mr. Collin's
report, it was arranged that the Srinagar Court of Wards should collect the contribution
due from the raiyats who did not pay the sum at the time of the distribution of the parchas.
A certain amount has been realized by the estate according to that arrangement. The estate
has now been released from the Court of Wards, and the present managing proprietor,
Koer Nittyanund Singh, is unwilling to recover the whole cost from the raiyats, and proposes
that the Baniali Raj also should take the burden in proportion-to its own share. The
Banaili Raj Manager, on the other hand, declines to have anything to do with the recovery
of the cost from the raiyats. As all such matters have been hitherto settled through Mr.
Wace, the Collector of Bhagalpur, I have addressed him on the subject. The difficulty
pointed out by Koer Nittyanund Singh is that he cannot recover the amount by summary
procedure under the Certificate Act as the Court of Wards could. I have suggested that
This difficulty can be removed by appointing the Srinagar tahsildars as the agents of Govern-
ment to collect the amount due from the raiyats, and by issuing proclamation to the raiyats to
pay the amount through the said tahsildar. If any amount is not paid to the tahsildar, the
Collector can file certificates after submission by the tahsildar of a list of defaulters.

the several parties is stated below:-

30. Cause of delay in completion of the work.—Mr. Collin, while submitting the Budget
Estimate for the current financial year with his letter No. 552, dated the 4th March last,
expected that the work wonld be finished by the end of December. The main portion of
the work, namely, the settlement and the disposal of cases and objections, was finished
within that time, but the actual winding up of the office, the sending of recoids and things
to several offices, the closing of correspondence, and the final apportionment of the cost,
has extended to the end of March. This has necessarily resulted in some increase of
expenditure over the estimate. The real excess expenditure in consequence of delay in the
completion of the work was estimated by me at Rs. 1,545 (ride my letter No. 377, dated the
are the chief reasons of three months' delay in the completion of the work. Mr. Collin
based his estimate on the supposition that the settlement of Pargana Akbarabad would be
completed in May, and then the final publication of the records would be made in October,
and the office would be wound up in three months' further time. The settlement of Pargana
Akbarabad, however, was not finished in May, and there was no prospect of its early
completion when I took over charge in the first week of May. Owing to the recusancy of
the raiyats that caused much waste of time in attempts to conciliate them, and necessitated
Reference to higher authorities and issue of a large number of processes, the settlement was
( 25 )
completed on the 1st of September. I, nevertheless, strove to complete the work within the
time, and completed the final publication in October. The office might have been wound up -
in December but for the necessity of making a fresh settlement of Nohatta. The fresh
settlement of Nawhatta was a contingency that was not taken into calculation when Mr. Collin
submitted his estimate. The decision of the appellate court in the Nohatta case was given
in last July, but the result was not communicated to me by the parties. I got the imforma-
tion in September when I had made an enquiry about it from the Subordinate Judge. If
I had received timely information, it would have been possible to finish even the Nohatta
settlement within the estimated time. Besides the chief work stated above, many sundry
matters came up for disposal as the work approached completion. The correspondence at the
close of the work became heavier than in previous time.
No. 2004., dated the 7th July 1891.
From-E. W. COLLIN, Esq., Settlement Officer, Banaili Raj and Srinagar Court of
Wards' Estates,
To-The Director of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, Bengal.
I HAVE the honour to submit the following report on the settlement of the Srinagar Court
of Wards' and Banaili Raj Estates.
2. I regret that the report is not a final statement of the settlement, but, as previously
reported in the correspondence ending with this office No. 133, dated the 26th June 1891,
the completion of the settlement is delayed in Malda by the opposition of the raiyats
of Akbarabad pargana. The settlement of this pargana was commenced in June 1890,
but a dispute as to the standard of measurement arose at the outset. This was judicially
decided against the raiyats, who appealed to the Special Judge. While the appeal was
pending, hoth the parties applied for the postponement of the settlement. This application
was granted. The appeal was not heard until the 20th April, and was adverse to the claims
of the raiyats, who then refused to attend for the purpose of checking the entries in the
records made by the survey amins, or to attest their rentals. The landlords abandoned any
claim to alteration of rentals in the greater part of the pargana, but the raiyats demanded that
all should be recorded as having fixed rights, in order to prevent any increase in future. As
matters now stand, the work of completing the records is going on in accordance with the rules,
and efforts are being made to enforce the attendance of the parties who continue to hold
aloof froin the proceedings. The total area of the pargana is 163 square miles, in two-thirds
of which the raiyats are giving opposition.
In the Kotwali pargana of Purnea, containing 3 square miles, the completion of the
settlement was delayed by the necessity of measuring some scattered lands during the last
cold season. At the time of the cadastral survey these lands were purposely omitted, with the
approval of the managing authorities, as they were of such a scattered character that the
survey would not be worth the expense. At the time of settlement, however, the landlords
applied for the measurement of the lands, which was accordingly carried out. The settlement
of these scattered lands delayed the preparation of the records of the villages to which they
belonged, but it has been now completed.
In the large village of Nawhatta, in the Khubkband pargana of Bhagalpur, the decision
of the Settlement Officer regarding the settlement of rents was upset by the Special Judge
of Bhagalpur, on the ground that the village being partly owned by proprietors other than
Srinagar and Banaili, did not fall within the terms of the Government notifications bring-
ing the estates under Chapter X of the Tenancy Act. As a matter of fact, a special
notification was issued regarding this village, but it was not brought to the notice of the
Special Judge. An application for review was filed by the estates, and it was fixed for
hearing on the 29th June. I have not been informed of the result. It will probably be
necessary to re-try some of the cases. The work of completing the settlement has been made
over to Babu Barhamdeo Narain since I gave over charge on the 11th May 1891.
3. History of the family.--The founder of the family which now jointly owns the
Banaili and Srinagar Raj Estates was Hazari Chowdhari, Tahsildar of the Passara Raja
of Purnea. About 1780 A. D. he acquired the Tirakhurdal pargana of Purnea by pur-
chase. His son, Doolar Singh, purchased the Bhagalpur and Mongbyr estates. About the
year 1800, the Akbarabad estate, containing 150 villages in parganas Dehat and Suja-
nagar in Purnea, and in the Mabinagar and Akbarabad Parganas of the Malda district
was acquired. Doolar Singh had two sons-Bidianund Singh and Rudranund Singh. The
former was the father of Leelanund Singh, the first Raja of the family, and the father of the
present Raja Padmanund Singh of Banaili. Rudranund Singh, the second son of Doolar
Singh, was the father of Kumar Srinandon Singh, whose sons are the Srinagar Wards.
There are three wards—Kumar Nityanund Singh, Kumar Kamalanund Singh, and Kumar
Kalkanund Singh. The eldest ward was born on the 13th July 1870, and therefore came
of age in the current month. The greater portion of the Wards' estates in held jointly with
their second cousin of the Banaili family.

be on the 17th December 1880, leaving three minor sons and
three daughters. He left no will, and there was no adult male member of the family who
could administer the estate. On the application of the widows, the District Judge of Purnea
took charge of the estate, on the 25th March 1881, under Act XL of 1858. Constant

Wards in October 1882.

were Rs. 86,060. The arrear demand was Rs. 14,68,440. In
1884 arrears to the amount of Rs. 10,15,036 were remitted, while collections of the current
demand amounted to 72 per cent. only. The arrears continued to increase, and in 1885. difficulties
arose in the introduction of the Tenancy Act form of rent receipt, which brought to a head
the disputes as to rentals and areas of holdings. In 1886-87 the collections of rent and cesses
were only 63 and 55 per cent., respectively, and the arrears had increased from 4 lakhs to more
than 7 lakhs. It was then resolved to undertake a survey and the preparation of a record of
rights of the estate, so as to effect (in the words of the Government orders) “ an adjustment of
the rent demand, and to secure system and punctuality in collections.” As stated in the letter of
the Government of Bengal, No. 1101T-R, dated the 15th September 1886, an authoritative
survey and record of rights, under Chapter X of the Tenancy Act, appeared to be absolutely
required by the circumstances of the case. The object of the survey, it was said, was not to
make an enhancement, but to ascertain and record existing rents. Proceedings were initiated
on an application from the Court of Wards under section 101 of the Tenancy Act, in which

6. The survey was carried out by a professional party under Mr. G. B. Scott, Deputy
Superintendent of the Survey of India Department. It was
commenced in November 1887, and all the records were
made over to the Settlement Department by the end of October 1889. The traverse survey
was attended with some difficulty. The traverse of such entire villages as were known to
belong to the estates was soon completed, but the estates own a number of cheet lands, i.e.,
scattered blocks or isolated fields in the villages of other proprietors. The officials of the
estates were ignorant of the locality of these lands, and it was a matter of time to get them
pointed out. When this was done, it was necessary to fix their position on the maps for
purposes of future identification, and traverse lines were drawn round the blocks and were
connected by chain lines with some other stations which had already been fixed. The total
number of these isolated blocks is 380, scattered in 78 villages, and covering an aggregate
area of 41 square miles. The total area traversed was 745 square miles, against 6991 square
miles cadastrally surveyed. The excess is accounted for by the traversing of scattered blocks
and of a few villages in pargana Tirakhurdah, Purnea, which were found to belong wholly
to the Banaili estate, and which were therefore excluded from cadastral survey.
7. An attempt was made to employ patwaris or local men of that class for cadastral
survey. Operations commenced in the Khubkhand pargana
Agency employed in the survey.
age of Bhagalpur, and, with a view to train local men, candidates
were promised Rs. 5 per month while in training, on condition that they learnt the work in
six weeks. About 50 candidates presented themselves, and those who were first trained were
deputed to the survey of the Daphar pargana under the Settlement Officer. The greater
number, however, left before they were trained, and the few who could work refused to leave
their own pargana. The patwaris of the estates could not be employed as amins, as they
were constantly required for the work of the estate. Another difficulty in employing them
was that one patwari has several villages in his charge, and he would be required to watch
the record-writing in one village and to point out fields in another, in addition to conducting
his regular duties for the estate. Local agency was therefore little used, but anins were at
first recruited from Tirhut, where men had been trained in the course of the Muzaffarpur
survey. After the first three months, when it was found that work was proceeding slowly, a
number of amins were brought down from Basti, North-Western Provinces, and they were
regularly employed until the close of the operations. As the language current in the greater
portion of the estates is Hindi, no inconvenience resulted from the employment of up-country
men, except in the Malda district, where the records were first written up in Hindi-Kaithi,
and were then translated into Bengali in office. Bengalis, wherever possible, were employed
to write the khatians in Bengali, simultaneously with the khasra, in order to secure accuracy
in the names of raiyats; but it was found in the course of settlement that much confusion
had resulted from the misspelling of names.

average size of the field was 73 of an acre. The total cost

system of survey was that laid down in Colonel Barron's Hand-book. All field boundaries
were mapped out at the time of record-writing; if a number of contiguous fields were found to
be held by one raiyat, under the same tenancy, the interior details were represented by dotted
lines, and one number was given to the whole plot. This saved labour in record-writing, and
reduced the number of fields from 739,311 to 583,184, or a saving of 25 per cent. The only
other alteration in Colonel Barron's system was that areas were extracted on the spot and field
boundaries entered in before transmitting the sheets to office. The computation of areas on
the ground was appreciated by the raiyats who frequently tested the measurements recorded by
the amins with their village poles.

survey. Monghyr in April 1888, and in Purnea in April 1889, and
of fever in November 1888, hindered the work. Though the average size of the fields is on
the whole area •73 of an acre, the average size of cultivated fields was •4 of an acre, and in
parts of Purnea and Malda the general average was 3 of an acre. The provision of coolies
for the amins in eastern Purnea and Malda was estimated by Mr. Scott to cost Rs. 48 per
square mile. The scattered character of the area surveyed also added considerably to the cost.
10. The cadastral survey of 81 square miles in pargana Daphar, Bhagalpur, was taken
up by the Settlement Department. The work was done

received from the professional party. The cost of this
survey was Rs. 145 per square mile. The survey was conducted on the same lines as that
of the professional party, except that local agency was more used. The work done by the
local men was unsatisfactory and proceeded very slowly until amins were imported from
Muzaffarpur, the carrying out of a small area of cadastral survey in an isolated part of the
district was not conducive to economy, and the experiment was not repeated. It was chiefly
of value in employing the officers of the Settlement Department, while waiting for records
from the professional party.

Srinagar Court of Ward's Estate held only a small share in them. Thus, though the villages
were cadastrally surveyed, they were not taken up for settlement, and are not included in the
statements appended to this report. The total area of the lands affected by the survey and
settlement is therefore 440,008 acres. The estates are distributed in 5 districts and 23

The appended statements (Appendix A) show the distribution of the estates by parganas.
The villages in Bhagalpur and Monghyr lie in comparatively compact blocks, but the estates
in Purnea, Malda, and Darbhanga are much scattered. The following is a general descrip-
tion of the area affected by the survey operations.
12. The estates in the Bhagalpur district are situated in sis parganas, as follows:-
In the extreme north of the district the estates hold 94 villages in the Daphar Pargana.
(1) Bhagalpur.
The river Kosi passes through the east of the pargana, and
(a) Daphar pargana.
the villages to the east of it have been recently transferred to
the Purnea district. Of these 94 villages, 23 are subject to the inundation of the Kosi, and
form islands in the many channels into which that river is divided after leaving the hills.
These villages are uncultivated, and are covered with grass and jungle, and it was not thought
necessary to survey them. In five of these villages there were considerable areas of cultivation,
and these lands were measured by the patwaris of the estate, and the records duly prepared.
The total area of the lands surveyed in the parganas is 81 square miles, of which 71 square
miles lie to the west of the Kosi, and 10 square miles to the east. The pargana is divided into
two portions by an old embankment called the Bhir bund. This embankment extends from
the hills in the Nepal Terai to a point about 20 miles south of the frontier. Its history is
discussed in Dr. Hunter's Gazetteer, and it is doubtful whether it was a line of fortifications
intended to protect the eastern boundary of the ancient province of Maithila, or was an
embankment for the prevention of floods either from the Daus river on the east or the Teljuga
on the west. It is certain that at some time a river has flowed across the pargana, as beds of
shingle are found at many places a few feet below the surface. To the east of the Bhir bund
the land is flat and lowlying. It is subject to diluviation from the Kosi river, which has been
of late years tending in a westerly direction, and has rendered unculturable large tracts of
d 2
( 28 )
land lying on its western bank. An offshoot of the Kosi, called the Daus, penetrates inland as
far as the Bhir bund and fertilises large tracts of rice land. To the west of the embankment,
the lands are higher and are suited to a variety of crops. There is a small hill stream called
the Demra which fertilizes this portion of the pargana. There are two important market
towns at Buluab bazar and Bhirpur. Merchants from Bengal and the North-Western Pro-
vinces have settled here, and carry on a large export trade in rice and oil-seed, both from this
pargana and from Nepal. The grains are either exported by river or are taken to the Tirhut
State Railway at Pertabgunge and Bhaptiahi stations. A Government road connects Nepal
and the bazars of Bhirpur and Buluah with Pertabgunge; and there is a second road from
Bhirpur to Bhaptiahi station. The rainfall in this pargana is generally plentiful, and there is
no artificial irrigation. The supply of drinking water is obtained from cutoha wells, and the
water level is about 12 feet below the surface. Fever is very prevalent in November and
December, which is attributed to the malaria arising from the Nepal Terai. Outbreaks of
cholera frequently occur in April and May. The average size of the villages is over a square
mile, and the houses of the villagers are much scattered. Houses are built of grass and thatch,
as the soil is not suitable for making mud walls. In the Buluah and Bhirpur bazars the
merchants have masonry houses with corrugated-iron roofs as a protection against fire. The
pargana lies in the Supaul subdivision of the Bhagalpur district.
13. About ten miles south of the Daphar pargana, the Srinagar estate owns one village
in the Harawat pargana with an area of 766 acres. Further
(6) Khubkhand pargana.
to the south the estates own a connected tract of 82 square ,
miles in the Khubkhand pargana, which is also in the Supaul subdivision. The pargand is
bounded on the west by the Teljuga river, and on the east by the Dumra river. The area
consists of a series of depressions suitable for rice cultivation and opening out into jhils, alter-
nating with high tracts of sandy soil, much of which is uncultivable grass land. The lands
bordering the Teljuga and the Dumra are liable to inundations, and on the banks of the
former river are large areas of lands used for the growth of thatching grass. A Government
road runs though the centre of the pargana, and there is a considerable market town at
Nawbatta, where also is the tahsil office of the estates. A dispensary has recently been estab.
lished there by the Court of Wards. An old embankment was in 1890 repaired by the estate,
and affords protection to the villages on the banks of the Dumra. To the south are five villages
which are specially liable to inundation, and these could not be cadastrally surveyed in the
first season. Fortunately the rainfall of 1888 was very deficient, and the villages were
surveyed early in 1889. The number of villages in this pargana belonging to the estate is
81, and the average size of the village is about one square mile. The houses are closely packed
together on such high ground as is available for village sites, and many of the houses have
mud walls and tiled roofs. Drinking water is obtained from wells. Each village has several
masonry wells, and the depth of water is about 12 feet. Irrigation from wells is unknown
except in the case of garden crops cultivated by raiyats of the Kunjra caste. In the villages
bordering the Teljuga and the Dumra, such as Satour, Darhar, Bhelahi, and Aurea Ramonti,
there are tracts of clay soil which are irrigated before cultivation with rice. The water is
lifted by means of a hollow fallen treo called “dhose” or “krine," and the lands are twice
irrigated in April. They are then ploughed and sown broadcast with paddy. Most of the
rice is transplanted in the low lands and require no irrigation, but in some villages water is
brought in from the rivers by means of “pynes,” which are carefully kept in repair by the
villagers. Near the villages of Ekarh and Nawhatta are large areas of mango groves, and
much injury is done to crops by monkeys.
14. To the east of the Khubkhand pargana lies the Uttarkand pargana, in which the
. estates own 25 villages with an area of 40 square miles.
© Uttarkand pargana. The average size of the village is about lå square miles.
The largest village is that of Saifabad-Bungaon, containing an area of over 10 square miles.
This contains a settlement of Mithila Brahmins, to whom the village originally belonged.
There is a police outpost at Bungaon, and the road traverses the pargana connecting it with
Supaul on the north and the Monghyr district on the south. The Dumra river bounds the
pargana on the west, and considerable tracts are liable to inundation. To the east the lands
are higher, and a variety of crops are growi, such as wheat, mustard seed, and indigo. The
Talabă river bounds the pargana on the east, and a canal about a mile long has been made
by the estate to drain a large jhil in the village of Goburgurha.
15. To the east lies the pargana of Nirsingpur Khoorah, in which the estates jointly
own eight villages with an area of 225 square miles. The

villages appertaining to the Srinagar-Bapaili estates are scattered. The lands are lowlying,
and are chiefly cultivated with rice and pulses.

inundations from the river Kosi, and only 37 per cent. is
cultivated; about one-tenth of the area consists of jhils, and nearly one-half is grass jungle
suitable only for pasturage.
16. In Monghyr the estates jointly hold 124 villages in the Farkya Pargana, and one
(2) Monghyr.
village, that of Mohubba, in the Balia Pargana. The
villages contain 126,590 acres or 198 square miles. The
pargana lies on the north bank of the Ganges opposite the town of Monghyr. One-third of
the area consists of rich alluvial lands on the bank of the Ganges. This is bounded on the
( 29 )
north by a tract of high land containing a considerable area of mango groves. To the north
of this high land is a lowlying tract which is subject to periodical inundations from the
Gandak, Teljuga, and Kosi rivers. To the east lie & number of villages on the north of the
Teljuga which have suffered from the inundations of the Kosi. The area of cultivated lands
has decreased, and there is a large tract of grass land which is used for pasturage. To the
north there is a block of villages containing highly fertile rice lands. On the west is a series
of villages on the bank of the Gandak river containing fertile high lands. The centre of the ,
pargana is shown in the old Revenue Survey map as intersected by numerous rivers and
covered with jungle. The rivers have now to a great extent silted up, and the jungle has
been cleared ; but the lands are still liable to inundation in the rains, and only cold-weather
crops can be grown. The tahsil office is at Gogri, the junction of the Gandak and the
Ganges. There is a Government road from the Khagaria ghát which runs eastwards to Gogri
and thence to the south of the pargana, and a road runs northwards from Munsi to Saifabad-
Bungaon in Bhagalpur. The East Indian Railway has an agency at Khagaria, where it
receives goods, and there are facilities for transport on the Gandak, Teljuga, and Ganges
rivers. The villages are as a rule situated on high lands in compact hamlets, and the houses
are well built with mud walls and tiled roofs. A number of villages in the centre of the par-
gana are uninhabited. Drinking-water is supplied, as a rule, from masonry wells, and the
depth of water is about 30 feet. These wells are specially set apart for the purpose, and are
periodically cleaned. There is no irrigation except in the high lands to the west, where a
small area of poppy and garden crops is irrigated from wells.

near the Jhanjharpur station of the Tirhut State Railway.
They contain 1,351 acres, or about 2 square miles.
18. The estates in Purnea lie in eight parganas, each of which have their special charac-
teristics. In the north of the district, in the Arrareah sub-

division, is the Tirakhurdah pargana, containing 26 villages,
and an area of 37 square miles. This pargana forms part
of the fertile belt of land which borders the Nepal Terai. The pargana originally belonged
jointly to the Banaili and Srinagar estates, but in 1885 there was a partition, and only the
portion allotted to the Srinagar Wards' Estate has been settled. The river Bukra passes
Through the east of the pargana, and causes much confusion in the villages along its banks by
its yearly diluvion and alluvion. There is a small hill stream called the Burana on the west.
A Government road connecting Nepal with the head-quarters of the Arrareah subdivision
passes through the pargana, and on the south is an old famine road connecting the pargana
with the Forbesgunge Railway Station of the Assam-Bihar Railway. The tahsil office is at
Kursakanta, where a considerable market is held every week.
19. In the centre of the district are the Haveli and Shahpur Parganas, in which the
estates hold separate shares in 42 villages, as described in the
(0) Haveli and Shanpur Parganas. appendix (B). The area appertaining to the estates amounts
to 87} square miles, of which 44 per cent. only is cultivated. These parganas appear to have
been traversed by the Kosi river on its way from the east of the district to its present course
on the west. An old branch of the Kosi river, called the Kurra Kosi, divides the pargana.
The lands consist of shallow depressions divided by high ridges of sandy soil, of which the
greater portion is unoultivated grass land, held by raiyats for pasturage of cattle. Two main
roads traverse the pargana from north to south, and connect the villages with the town of
Purnea and the railway stations of Kusba and Purnea. The Soura river is the eastern
boundary of the pargana. The villages are scattered in many hamlets, and the houses are
for the most part built of grass and bamboo. Drinking water is supplied from the rivers and
from wells, few of which are of masonry. The depth of water is about 18 feet. Irrigation
is not resorted to except for tobacco and garden crops. The tahsil office is at Srinagar to the
north of the pargana, about 15 miles from the station of Purnea.
To the east lies the Dharampur pargana, in which the Srinagar estate owns solely scat-
tered properties in 11 villages, containing an area of 14 square

miles. Only 52 per cent. is cultivated, chiefly with rice and
pulses, but wheat, mustard seed, indigo, and tobacco are also grown.
20. To the south are 15 villages in pargama Kadwa. Of these 14 are held solely by
the Srinagar estate under putni leases, and the village of
(a) Kudwa pargana.
Mathour is held jointly under a putni lease by both the
Srinagar and Banaili estates. The pargana consists of a lowlying tract of land liable to
inundations from the Bishnah river on the west and the Panar river on the east. The area
of the villages appertaining to the estates is 8 square miles, of which 58 per cent. is cultivat-
ed. A large area is covered with coarse grass and jungle. The villages lie near the police-
station at Kadwa, and are connected with the town of Purnea and the Sonali station of the
Assam-Bihar Railway by a Government road.
21. On the extreme east of the district, in the Kishanganj subdivision, lies pargana

pargana and fertilizes it with 'annual inundations. There is a Government road traversing
the.pargana, which connects the Barsoe station of the Assam-Bihar Railway with the district
of Malda. The pargana consists chiefly of open rice lands alternating with high tracts of
sandy soil on which mustard seed is grown. There are few trees, but a number of bamboo
clumps, and the villages are built on the high lands surrounded with bamboos and jungles.
Portions of the lands of the estate are situated to the north of the Assam-Bihar Railway, and
have been injuriously affected by the embankment, which has blocked the drainage.
23. In Malda the lands which have been surveyed are situated in five parganas. Of
these: the Mahinagur and Sujanagur parganas are situated
(5) Malda.
to the extreme north of the district, and in them the estates
hold 71 villages with an area of about 194 square miles. The villages are liable to inunda-
tions from the Mahanadi river, and only 61.8 per cent. is cultivated. There are large tracts
of grass land used for pasturage, and also for the growth of thatching-grass, which is sold in
the south of the district. During the rains the pargana is only accessible by water.
To the north of the civil station of Malda the estates own 20 small villages in the
Kotwali pargana, with an area of about 3} square miles. These villages from a portion of the
estate of Akbarabad, tauzi No. 65, of which a share of 2 annas has been separately allotted
to the Srinagar and Banaili estates. The villages are situated on the southern bank of the
Kalindri river, and contain a large area of mango groves and of mulberry lands. The low-
lying lands are liable to inundations, and are cultivated with cold-weather crcps, such as kalai
and wheat. There is a considerable market at Kotwali, and two Government roads connect
the pargana with the civil station of Malda.
24. To the south-west. of Malda the estate owns 30 small villages in pargana Bhatya-
Gopalpur, locally known as Bhelbhari Bhatya. These villages form the estate Taluka
Gangarampur (tauzi No. 76), and are situated in the northern outskirts of the ancient city
of Gour on the banks of the Bhagirathi river. There is a considerable area of jungle and
groves, and the mulberry crop is largely grown. There is a road connecting the pargana with
the civil station and with the police station of Kaliachak on the south. To the west of the
Bhagirathi river lies the Akbarabad pargana, in which the estates jointly own 29 villages
with an area of about 17 square miles. Five of these villages are situated on dearas, and were
formed when the Ganges receded to its present channel on the west. The other villages are
lowlying and are liable to inundations from the Pugla and Bhagirathi rivers. There is a
considerable area of mulberry cultivation. The villages are, for the most part, closely packed
together on the high land, and the houses are built of grass and bamboos. Drinking water
is supplied either from the rivers or from wells. Two Government roads connect the pargana
with the civil station of Malda and with the police-station of Kaliachak.

(a) Bhagalpur District. --The figures for the Harawat pargana represent only one village,
and no conclusions can be drawn from them. Omitting these figures, it appears that the most
cultivated pargana is that of Daphar, in spite of the injury caused by the encroachments of the
Kosi river. It was more flourishing before the Kosi had advanced so far in a westerly
direction, and the percentage of cultivation was in 1875 estimated to be as high as 80. In the
Nirsingpur pargana there has been a decrease of cultivation, as in 1875 over 90 per cent. was
reported to be cultivated. The pargana. of Nirsingpur and that of Chai have both suffered
from the advances of the Kosi river in a westerly direction. The percentage of cultivation in
none of the parganas is as high as was found in the Muzaffarpur district. On the other hand
it is higher than in Monghyrand Purnea,.except in the parganas of Sujanagar and Tirakhurdah
of the latter district. In the Daphar pargana the culturable area consists of new fallow (21.7
per cent.), old fallow (40 per cent.), groves (10.9 per cent.), grass, bush, &c. (27.4 per cent).
The large arer of old fallow consists of grass lands subject to floods and suited only for
pasturage. Of the uncultivated area, 42 per cent. consists of roads, 18 per cent. of tanks, and 8
per cent. of village sites. In the Khubkhand pargana there is only 11 per cent. of new fallow
against 21 per cent. in Daphar. This is due to the practice in the latter pargana of keep-
ing lands fallow for wheat cultivation. In the Khubkhand pargana the area of old fallow
is 44 per cent. of the culturable area. This includes grass land on the high sandy ridges
which has never been cultivated. There is a considerable area of groves, viz., 20 per cent.
of the culturable area, or 2.5 per cent. of the total area, but this is exceeded by the
Uttarkhund pargana, where the area under groves amounts to 7 per cent. of the total area.
In the villages of Saifabad-Bungaon and Chainpur there are dense mango groves covering
13 and 17 per cent., respectively, of the total areas of those villages. These groves shelter
numerous monkeys, who do great damage to the crops in neighbouring fields. The villagers
will do nothing to stop their depredations, and it is a local tradition that Divine justice
in the shape of death by lightning overtook a European gentleman who attempted to destroy
them. In both the Khubkhand and Uttarkhand parganas the area of land covered with
jheels is considerable, amounting in the former to 76 per cent., and in the latter to 45 per cent.
of the unculturable area. These jheels are for the most part formed by the Dumra river
which covers a large tract of low-lying land on both banks. In favourable years a crop
of bora dhan is obtained from these jheel lands. In the Nirsingpur pargana the greater
portion of the culturable area consists of old fallow and grass lands, and only a small area
of jheels and rivers. On the other hand, in the neighbouring Pargana of Chai, the area
covered with jheels amounts to over 9 per cent. of the total area, and there is a large quantity
of grass land suitable for pasturage, amounting to over 42 per cent. of the total area.
Cattle are brought here from all parts of the district, and are allowed to graze on payment
of a fee of 8 annas per buffalo and 4 annas per bullock.
26. The principal crops grown in the Bhagalpur district are as follows:
Pargana Daphar.–Rice (53 per cent.), kurthi (13 per cent.), mustard seed (11 per
cent.), marua 07:5 per cent.), linseed (3 per cent.), arhar (1.2 per cent.), and wheat
(2.5 per cent.).
Pargana Khubkhand.-Rice (57 per cent.), marua (18.7 per cent.), kurthi (6.4 per cent.),
mung (4:4 per cent.), barley (3.7 per cent.), wheat (2 per cent.), linseed (2:3 per cent.),
mustard seed (1.2 per cent.), sugarcane (7 per cent.).
Pargana Uttarkhand. -Rice (41.8 per cent,), múng (58 per cent.), marua (1.7 per cent.),
kurthi (1.1 per cent.), wheat (6 per cent.), barley (3 per cent.), mustard seed (2.5 per cent.),
indigo (1.5 per cent.), linseed (i per cent.).
Pargana Nirsingpur'.—Rice 60 per cent.), marua (12 per cent.).
Pargana Chai.Rice (47 per cent.), wheat (18 per cent.), barley (9 per cent.).
In the Daphar pargana there are recognized classes of soil for which different rates of
rent are paid. They are as follows:
Rice land (paying on an average Rs. 2 per acre);
Double-cropped land (paying Re. 1-12 per acre);
Single-cropped land (paying Re. 1-8 per acre);
Land left fallow for wheat (paying Re. 1-4 per acre);
Land on which pulses are grown (paying 9 annas per acre); and
Pasturage land let at 3) annas per acre.
The rice lands, which amount to 53 per cent. of the whole area, are generally very
fertile. The produce is estimated to be 23 maunds per acre, which sells at harvest time at 50
seers for the rupee. Some lands are more fertile, and a plot of the proprietor's lands let out
in bhaoli has been known to produce as inuch as 70 maunds an acre. The cost of cultivation
and the rent is estimated not to exceed Rs. 5-8 per acre. In the case of rain crops grown
on high lands, such as marua and other pulses, the cost of cultivation is estimated to be
Rs. 2-8 per acre, and the produce to be 12 maunds of grain realizing at the time of harvest
Rs. 12. Mustard seed is generally grown after this crop, and produces 51 maunds per
acre, realizing Rs. 14 against Rs. 2-8 cost of cultivation. The growth of wheat is not very
paying. The land is generally left fallow during the rains, and repeated ploughing and
weeding bring the cost of cultivation up to Rs. 4-6 per acre, while the produce will be about
seven maunds, which sells at 30 seers to the rupee, or Rs. 9-4. A large area in the
pargana consists of lands only suited for the growth of pulses, such as kurthi or kalai. The

nine maunds, valued at the time of harvest at Rs. 9.
27. Of the population in the Daphar pargana, about 17 per cent. were found in two
villages, in which special enquiries were made, to be labourers, while 17 per cent. were
dependent on other professions, such as fishing, sheep-rearing, &c. The average area of the
holding was 8 acres, but 35 per cent. of the number of raiyats held less than 3 acres. The
wages of labourers, which in this pargana are paid in kind, are five kutcha seers or four pucka
seers of unhusked rice, or some other coarse grain per day. This amounts to about 1} annas
per day. Ploughs are hired at 2 annas a day. The people of this pargana keep large herds
of cattle, for which the neighbouring Kosi jungles give facilities for pasturage. In the village
of Raghunathpur were found the following: 226 cows divided among 53 persons, 165 bullocks
held by 48 persons, 65 buffaloes belonging to 21 persons, 476 sheep, 69 goats, and 4 ponies.
In the village of Sitapur were found 566 cows, 274 bullocks, 163 buffaloes, 246 sheep, and 24
popies. In the village of Raghunathpur there were 53 ploughs to 70 raiyats and 434 acres
of land. The amount of the indebtedness of the population is not serious. In the Raghu.
nathpur village 42 persons out of 70 families were indebted to the extent of Rs. 761, besides
loans made in grain, of which no accurate information could be obtained. In the village of
Sitapur all but 15 of the raiyats, numbering 268 families, were in debt. The food of the
people is either rice or marua bread.
*28. In the Khubkhand and Uttarkhand parganas of the Bhagalpur district the soils
are divided into muttyar, a stronger clay; dhoras, a mixture of clay and sand; and balua,
light sandy upland. The most general soil is the muttyar, which is suited for the cultivation
of rice and marua. Rice is either sown broad-cast or is transplanted. The former is the
more expensive mode of cultivation. The land is ploughed four times. After the seed is
sown, the earth, not broken up by ploughing, is pulverized with the kodali. This process is
known as gorbahi. When the seeds have germinated and are growing, the spade is again
used for removing weeds, thinning the seedlings, and loosening the earth. This process is
called “tamni.” After this comes the weeding, which requires about 20 labourers to the
bigha. The total cost of cultivation, including threshing, winnowing, and cost of seed with
the rent, is said to be Rs. 6-6 per bigha. The average produce is estimated to be 12 maunds
per bigha of 4,225 square yards, which sells at the time of harvest at Re, 1 per maund.
When paddy is transplanted, the cost of cultivation per bigha is under Rs. 5-14. The most
expensive process is digging up the soil called korni, which requires about 20 labourers
per bigha at a cost of Re. 1-6-6. The transplanting of the seedlings costs at least Re. 1 per
bigha. When the transplanting is finished, the mud is stirred up by ploughing. This
process is called kudwa. The cost for weeding is slight. The average produce per bigha is
estimated to be 15 maunds or 16 maunds per acre, against 23 maunds in the Daphar
pargana, where the lands are more fertile. These estimates are derived from information
as to actual results given by raiyats.
The staple crop of the rain harvest is marua, which theoretically requires very careful
cultivation. The local proverb is “tin kerowni terah chas, tab karo marua kas," or marua
requires three weedings and thirteen ploughings. As a matter of fact, a marua field is
generally ploughed eight times and weeded twice, and the total cost of cultivation is about
Rs. 5-12 per acre. The average produce is said to be a maunds per acre, which sells at
35 seers for the rupee at the time of harvest.
29. The cost of cultivating rabi crops, for which the soil of the Khubkhand pargana
is not well adapted, is about half that of the cultivation of rice and marua. The field is
generally ploughed four times and weeded once. A small area of indigo is grown for
Mr. Christian's factory at Bungaon. Raiyats willing to grow this crop execute agreements
for seven years, and receive advances of from Rs. 3 to Rs. 4 per bigha of 4,225 square
yards. The planter supplies the seed, which is sown in November with the mustard crop.
When the mustard has been cut, the field is ploughed once and the indigo is allowed
to grow. It is cut about Mayor June and the raiyat receives Re. 1 for every five
bundles. In good seasons there will be from 35 to 40° bundles per bigha. The system
of rotation of crops is simple: bhadoi rice is succeeded by kurthi or other pulses; linseed
is sown in lands from which winter rice has been cut; rahar and peas are sown after
marua. Lands are often kept fallow for wheat, tobacco, and mustard seed, and for these
crops manure such as ashes and cowdung is used. Wages are paid in kind at the rate
of 4) kutcha seers (equal to 3 seers 12 chitaks pucka) of coarse grain, such as marua
and paddy. If a meal is given, they are paid only 3 seers. The hire of a plough with
a pair of bullocks is one anna per day, but there is generally a system of the interchange
of ploughs for services. At least 70 per cent. of the population is in debt, and an enquiry
in one village with 93 families showed that the amount of debt was Rs. 611 in cash and 85
maunds in grain, The rates of interest for cash loans are 18 per cent. per annum, and for
grain 50 per cent. for six months. The number of cattle kept in this pårgana is not so great
as in the north. In the village of Paharpur, with an area of 220 acres and 93 families, there
were 48 cows, 49 bullocks, 7 buffaloes, and 5 goats.
In this district there are no special rights as to fuel. Raiyats are entitled to cut
branches of trees on their own lands for consumption, and the poorer classes pick up fuel and
cut down jungle which grows in the mango groves. Wealthy raiyats keep special lands for
pasturage, and the poorer raiyats graze their cattle on the waste lands and the sides of roads.
The selling price of occupancy rights in lands in this pargana is fairly high, and varies from
Rs. 15 to Rs. 25 per bigha of 4,225 square yards.

The chief feature of the Bhaor pargana is the large area of mango groves amounting to
11 per cent. of the total area, while of the unculturable area 55 per cent. consists of tanks.
The area measured in Fakrabad consists chiefly of uplands, and the rabi harvest amounts
to 61 cent. of the total cropped area. The principal crop is barley (23 per cent.), and in
both parganas there is a small area of sugarcane. In pargana Bhaor the winter rice crop
amounts to 69.5 per cent. of the total cropped area. In both these parganas the area surveyed
contains a smaller percentage of cultivation than was found in Muzaffarpur, but the percent-
age is higher than in Bhagalpur. The area surveyed is, however, too small for any certain
conclusions to be drawn.
31. (c) Monghyr.--The portion of the Monghyr district appertaining to the Banaili
and Srinagar estates consists of 125 villages, of which 124 lie in the Farkya pargana and one
in pargana Balia. The total area is 126,590 acres, or about 198 square miles. The
villages are large and average over 17 square miles. Of the total area, 64:6 per cent. is
cultivated, 22:2 per cent. is culturable, and 13:2 per cent. is unculturable. The small per-
centage of cultivated land is due to the tract of low-lying land between the Gandak and the
Teljuga rivers, and to the east of the pargana. The percentage of cultivation in this traot is
only 22. On the other hand, in the alluvial villages to the south, there is 84 per cent. of
cultivated land, while to the west, on the banks of the Gandak, the cultivated lands amount
to 73 per cent. To the north there is a block of villages with a large area of winter rice land,
and the cultiuated area is 81 per cent. It will be seen, therefore, that the pargana has four
distinct divisions, of which the alluvial lands to the south are the most fertile. Of the cultur-
able area, the largest portion (70 per cent.) is old fallow or grass land. The new fallow only
amounts to 5.5 per cent., while groves are found on 6 per cent. of the culturable area. These
groves are chiefly situated in the centre of the pargana, near the town of Gogri, while the
southern and eastern tracts have few trees. Of the unculturable area 50 per cent. consists of
jheels, tanks, and rivers, 11 per cent. of roads, and 9 per cent. of village sites.
32. The harvests are divided as follows: bhadoi 29:9 per cent., rabi 56.5 per cent.,
aghani 13.6 per cent. There is a great variety of crops, of which the most important are
wheat 11.2 per cent., rice 7 per cent., janera 8 per cent., makai 6 per cent., barley 4:3 per
cent., oats 2.5 per cent., peas 5.7 per cent., gram 3.9 per cent., mustard 1:3 per cent., and
other rabi crops 6 per cent. There are a number of pulses grown, such as kalai, masuri,
marua, &c., amounting to 20 per cent. of the cropped area. The only special crops are cotton
(3 per cent.), sugai cane (4 per cent), and tobacco (4 per cent.). The locally known classes
of soil are “ karari," or high lands, “barari,” alluvial land, - Íhewal,” low land, which is a
mixture of clay and sand, "chowran,” low swampy land, and “goera," lands near the village
site. In the villages in the portion of the pasgada liable to inundation, the lands are
ploughed as soon as the floods recede, and pulses, such as gram and peas, are scattered
broadcast. There is no irrigation except for a small area of poppy land in the west, and for
garden crops. The average outturn per acre of the principal crops with the prices at harvest
time is shown below:

It will be seen from this list that the lands are more fertile and produce better crops
than in the Bhagalpur district. This is due to the alluvial nature of the soil. There is a
sufficient supply of field labourers, and it is the custom for cultivators, even those of high,
caste, to work in the fields. The rate of wages is 2 annas per day, and at time of harvest
one bundle out of every 16 is given. Eighty per cent. of the raiyats , are estimated to be in
debt on account of marriage and funeral ceremonies. The rate of interest is half an anna in
the rupee per month for small sums, or Rs. 37-8 per cent. yearly. For larger amounts the
rate of interest is reduced to 24 per cent. Grain loans are not common in this pargana.
Lands are not kept fallow, except for the cultivation of wheat, and manure is only used for
( 34 )
special crops, such as sugarcane and tobacco and cotton. There is very little land for pastur-
age, except in the villages to the north and east. In the alluvial villages on the east and west,
where almost all land is cultivated, cattle are carefully muzzled when they are taken out for
such grazing as can be found by the side of roads. They are also fed in the cold weather
with the green kerao or peas which is grown with barley, and there is a good supply of chaff
from wheat and barley straw. Buffaloes are taken away to the grazing grounds in the east,
where they are allowed pasturàge on paying a fee of eight annas per head. The raiyats are
allowed to plant and cut down trees on their own holdings, and there is no scarcity of fuel.
Where trees are soarce, fuel is supplied from the ijjhar bushes grown on the banks of the
numerous tanks and jheels. The average selling price of raiyats' holdings is from Rs. 30 to
Rs. 50 per bigha of 4,225 square yards.
32. '(d) Purnea. The portions of the estates on the Purnea district are scattered over
nine parganas, amounting to 128,518 acres, or 200 square miles. The lands in the different
parganas are classified as follows:-

:
The first four parganas mentioned in the list lie in the centre of the district where the
country consists largely either of high sandy ridges or of jheels and swamps. Thus in the
Haveli pargana, of the 46.9 per cent. returned as culturable, 70 per cent. consists of high
grass land suited only for pasturage. In the Kadwa pargana, where 31 per cent. is
culturable, but not cultivated, 55 per cent. of this area is grass jungle. In the Haveli pargana,
the area of new fallow is 12 per cent., and consists of high sandy soil which is cultivated with
bbadoi rice if the rains in May are favourable, but, if not, is left for cold weather crops, such
as wheat and barley. Only 4.5 per cent. of the culturable area consists of groves, and the
proportion in the other parganas is still less. The unculturable area consists largely of
tanks and jheels which cover 500 per cent. of the Haveli and Kadwa parganas. The
principal crops grown in these four parganas are as follows:
Zaveli pargana.—Rice (58 per cent., of which 29 per cent. is sown in the bhadoi
harvest), mustard seed (9 per cent.), wheat (5.3 per cent.), tobacco (4.8 per cent.), linseed
(3 per cent.), gram (2:5 per cent.), indigo (1 per cent.), kurthi (7 per cent.).
Shahpur pargana.-Rice (71 per cent.), mustard seed (8 per cent.), wheat (5 per cent.),
tobacco (3 per cent.).
Dharampur pargana.—Rice (43 per cent.), kurthi (5 per cent.), wheat (6 per cent.),
mustard seed (7 per cent.), indigo (6.4 per cent.), tobacco (2 per cent.).
Kadwa pargana.-Rice (66.5 per cent.), mustard seed (14:6 per cent.), wheat (45 per
cent.), kurthi (3 per cent.), indigo (1•6 per cent.).
The outturn of produce is smaller than in other parts of the estates. Thus rice is esti-
mated to produce 10 maunds per acre, mustard 7 maunds, and wheat 6 maunds. The soil is
divided into three classes, chowran or dhanhar (lands suited for rice), bhith or upland, and
rakiha or pasturage. Of the waste land used for pasturage, the greater portion is in the pos-
session of the raiyats, and is held as part of their holdings at a rate of one anna per bigha.
Mustard seed and tobacco are cultivated on the high lands near the homesteads. Tobacco
lands are sometimes irrigated from wells, but the supply of water is deficient. Manure, such
as cowdung and ashes, is applied to the homestead lands. Lands on which wheat is cultivated
are kept fallow for two or three years. In the case of rice lands, bhadoi rice is sown one year
followed by a cold weather crop such as kurthi or linseed. In the next year the lands are
oultivated with transplanted winter rice, and thus there are three crops in two years. Indigo
is grown by the raiyats who execute yearly agreements and receive advances of Rs. 2 per bigha.
The seed is supplied by the factory, and the crop is sold at six bundles for the rupee. A bigha
of 2,025 square yards in a good year will produce 30 bundles. When the indigo has been
( 35
) !
cut, other crops such as mustard seed and even rice are grown. The custom of subletting
lands is not common in this pargana. There are instances of raiyats, such as Sham Narayan
Chowdhari of Sonsa and Hedayat Ali of Khoka, who cultivate over 1,000 bighas with their
own ploughs, and in many cases raiyats have holdings of over 100 bighas which they cultivate
themselves. There is a sufficient number of field labourers who are paid from 17 annas
to 2 annas per day according to the season, and receive one-sixth of the produce at the
time of harvest. Women labour in the fields at slightly lower wages than men. There is
also a system of yearly service by which a labourer in return for a loan binds himself to service
at a nominal rate of 8 annas per month supplemented by extra pay at harvest time and by
presents at festivals. It is estimated that 70 per cent. of the raiyats are in debt, but this is
not necessarily a sign of poverty, as the debts are contracted for special purposes and on good
security. Thus, in the village of Parora, a raiyat with a holding of 200 bighas is in debt to
the extent of Rs. 800 at 24 per cent., and another raiyat with a holding of 300 bigbas owes
Rs. 1,400 at 18 per cent. The average selling price of holdings in this pargana is low,
and in one instance the occupancy rights in a holding of 26 bighas sold for Rs. 15. In other
cases 21 bighas were sold for Rs. 3 and 9 bighas for Rs. 2.
33. The Tirakhurdah pargana in the north of the distriot is one of the most fertile
portions of Purnea. Of the total area surveyed, 72 per cent. is cultivated, 18:9 per cent. is
culturable, and 8.7 per cent. is unculturable. The pargana, therefore, resembles that of
Daphar in Bhagalpur, but the area of rice land is greater. Of the culturable area, 17 per
cent. is now fallow and 73 per cent. old fallow and grass, most of which is held by raiyats as
pasturage land, and 5.6 consists of groves. Of the unculturable area, the greater portion
(57 per cent.) consists of tanks and jheels, while 20 per cent. is covered witn roads and 14 per
cent. with village sites. The harvests are divided into bhadoi 18-2 per cent., rabi 21.2 per
cent., and aghani 60:6 per cent., and the principal crops are winter rice (60 per cent.), bhadoi
rice (12 per cent.), jute (4 per cent.), mustard seed (6-7 per cent.), wheat (4.2 per cent.),
khesari (2.7 per cent.), and linseed (3 per cent.). A small area of tobacco is also sown. The
outturn of jute is estimated to be 10 maunds per acre, which sells at from Re. 1 to Re. 1-8 per
maund at the time of harvest.
'34. The pargana of Sujanagur in the south-east of the distriot of Purnea closely
resembles that of Tirakhurdh. The classification of the soil shows that 78 per cent. is culti-
vated, 12 per cent. culturable, and 10 per cent. unculturable. Of the culturable area 9 per
cent. is new fallow, 44 per cent. old fallow, 22 per cent. is grass, and less than 10 per cent.,
groves. There is a considerable number of scattered bamboo clums and trees surounding
the village sites. Of the unculturable area, 65 per cent. consists of rivers, tanks and jheels,
21 per cent. of roads, and 8 per cent of village sites. The harvests are divided as follows:-
Bhadoi 19 per cent., rabi 26 per cent., and aghani 55 per cent. The double cropped area is
29 per cent. The smallness of the bhadoi harvest is due to the inundations of the Mahanadi
river, which occur almost every year. The principal crops are winter rice (55 per cent.),
bhadoi rice (14.8 per cent.), mustard seed (14.9 per cent.), jute (4.5 per cent.), pulses (3 per
cent.), and wheat (1 per cent.). Wheat is grown on the alluvial lands along the banks of the
Mahanadi. Manure, such as cowdung and ashes, is used for jute and mustard seed lands. No
irrigation is necessary. The wages of labour in this pargana and in Tirakhurdah are from 2
to 21 annas per day according to the season.
35. The following table shows the classification of the lands in the Tajpur and Dehat
parganas, which, as they adjoin each other, can be conveniently taken together :-

In both parganas there is a large area of fallow land, part of which is reserved for
pasturage. The rest is land kept fallow for rice, the custom being that lands are cultivated
with rice for three years, and then are left fallow for three years. Thus in the Dehat par-
gana the culturable area is divided into new fallow or land reserved for rice cultivation,
44 per cent., and old fallow or land reserved for pasturage, 42 per cent. In the Tajpur par-
gana the proportions of new fallow and old fallow are 37 and 43 per cent. respectively.
Rice lands are, in many cases, allowed to lie fallow for three years and then are cultivated for
three years. The possession of grazing lands is every year notified by the erection of a bamboo.
in the plots belonging to the different raiyats. This is done during the rains when the rights
of pasturage are reserved: at other times the lands are treated as common to the whole village.
e2
( 36 )
It is also an intimation that the lands are to be let for pasturage. The area under groves is
very small in both parganas, but there is a considerable quantity of bush jungle (amounting
to 6 and 7 per cent., respectively, of the culturable area). which furnishes a supply of fuel.
The principal crops are as follows:-
Tajpur pargana.-Rice (71 per cent.), jute (5.4 per cent.), kurthi (1.7 per cent.), and
sugarcane (1.3 per cent.).
Dehat pargana.-Rice (59 per cent.), jute (12 per cent.), marwa (2 per cent.), barley
(2 per cent.), sugarcane (2.5 per cent.), and tobacco (2.5 per cent.).
* 36. Comparing these figures with those ascertained in the course of the survey of the
Sunkerpur estate in the adjoining district of Dinajpur, it appears that the area cultivated with
rice is between 60 and 70 per cent. in Purnea, against 85 per cent. in Dinajpur, whereas the
area under special crops.is greater. Thus in Dinajpur. the area cultivated with jute is only
2.50 per cent. against 12 per cent. in Purnea, and the area of tobacco lands is .4 per cent.
against 2.5 per cent. in the Dehat pargana. Raiyats in the Tajpur and Dehat parganas
have large holdings and sublet portions to under-raiyats at money rentals. The average
rate of rent paid by under-raiyats is Rs. 2-2 per acre against Re. 1-2-4 paid by raiyats in
pargana Dehat, and Re. 1-9-6 in pargana Tajpur. The rate of wages is three annas
per day at time of harvest. The rate is higher than in other parts of the district, as the
supply of labourers is scanty and is supplemented by immigration during the cold weather
from Bihar. The selling price of land is also higher than in the other parganas, a holding
of 16 bighas selling for Rs. 53.

The Mahinagar and Sujanagar parganas are situated to the north of the district and
are liable to inundations from the Mahanadi river. Of the culturable area, 17 per cent. is
classed as new fallow, and 61 per cent. as old fallow and grass lands. A portion of this area
is kept for thatching-grass, but the greater portion is jungle lands which have not yet been
brought into cultivation. The area under groves is less than 2 per cent., but 5 per cent.
of the culturable area is covered with bushes which supply fuel to the residents of the pargana.
The unculturable area consists chiefly of jheels and rivers.
The principal crops are as follows:
Sujanagar Pargana.-Rice (63 per cent.), jute (9 per cent.), khesari (6 per cent.),
mustard seed (15 per cent.), and tobacco (1 per cent.).
Mahinagar Pargana. ---Rice (63 per cent.), mustard seed (19 per cent.), linseed (4
per cent.), wheat (2 per cent.), khesari (1.8. per cent.), and tobacco (1 per cent.).
The Bhatiya, Kotwali, and Akbarabad Parganas are situated in the centre of the
district, and consist of high land suitable for the growth of mulberry, and of low clay soil
liable to inundations during the rains, and on which bhadoi rice and cold-weather crops such
as wheat and pulses are grown. The large percentage shown in the above statement as
culturable, but not cultivated, is due to the classification of mulberry lands as groves. If
these lands are added to the cultivated lands, the percentage of cultivation in these parganas
will be as follows:-
74 per cent.
Akbarabad
Bhatiya
Kotwali

The small percentage of cultivation in the Bhatiya pargana is due to the fact that the
lands are situated in the outskirts of the old city of Gour, and have only recently been
brought uuder tillage: one-fourth of the total area is still classified as old fallow, i.e., waste land
capable of cultivation. In the Akbarabad. and Kotwali parganas the area of new fallow
is 1.5 and 4 per cent., respectively, of the total area, while old fallow amounts to 7 per cent.
and 14 per cent.
( 37 )
39.3
The principal crops in these parganas are as follows:-
Akbarabad Pargana.- Bhadoi rice (32:5 per cent.), urid or kalai (33 per cent.), wheat
(1307 per cent.), barley (27 per cent.), peas (9.6 per cent.).
Bhatiya Pargana.-Bhadui rice (32:7 per cent.), urid (18 per cent.), wheat (7.9 per
cent.), mustard seed (20 per cent.).
Rotwali Pargana.-Bhadoi rice (19 per cent.), urid or kalai (25 per cent.), sama (4:3
per cent.), wheat (19.4 per cent), barley (6-3 per cent.), and mustard seed (5.1 per cent.).
The soil is either light and sandy, on which bhadoi rice, mustard seed, or barley are
grown, or is hard clay subject to inundations, on which wheat and pulses, such as kalai, urid,
and peas, are grown. The bhadoi rice grown on the light sandy soil is subject to attacks
from a small insect called debuk or dhenth in Hindi and “weo” in Bengali. This insect
attacks the roots of the growing rice plant, and, unless early rains fall and stimulate the
growth, destroys half the crop. The outturn of dhan is 8 maunds per acre, and of kalai and
other pulses 5 maunds per acre. Dhan is sold at time of harvest at Re. 1-8 per maund.
The general rate of rent is 10 annas per bigha, or Re. 1-5 per acre, and thus the profits of
cultivation would appear considerable, but the cost of cultivation is heavy. The land is
ploughed five times, and the weeding is said to cost Rs. 5 per acre. Kalai is sold at Re. 1-2
per maund, and wheat at Rs. 2-8 per maund.
38. Mulberry crops. The most important cultivation is that of the mulberry crop.
The following table shows the percentage of lands cultivated with mulberry in these three
parganas:

Mulberry is grown on high clay soils, in which there is an admixture of sand. The chief
object in planting mulberry is to secure that the plant should not be injured by floods or by
cattle. For this purpose the fields which are generally about half an acre in size are
surrounded by a deep ditch and emhankment. In the Kotwali pargana, on the banks of the
Kalindri river, the mulberry fields are constantly raised by excavations from the surrounding
ditches, and the country has the appearance of a chess-board with squares of mulberry lands
raised about seven feet above the general level of the country, and only accessible by ladders
or steps. The crop is propagated by cuttings carefully planted in rows. It does not require
to be renewed for six or seven years. It is manured either with cowdung or indigo refuse, if
obtainable. Mud and weeds are also brought from jheels, and the soil is constantly renewed
by earth taken from the surrounding ditches. The cost of cultivation is heavy, as it is
necessary to dig up the earth four times a year after each cutting, and to keep up the
embankments. This work is given out on contract at Rs. 3 per bigha, or a total cost of Rs. 12
per annum. Manuring and cutting of the crop raises the cost to about Rs. 18 per annum. If
the season is favourable, half a maund of cocoons will be reared from a bigha of mulberry
land at each breeding season or bund. The cocoons sell at Rs. 30 to Rs. 35 per maund, and
thus in a good season the total outturn will be Rs. 64 per bigha of 2,500 square yards, equal
to •516 of an acre, with a cost of cultivation of Rs. 18. The rent is a small item in the cost,
being only 10 annas per bigha. The rearing of cocoons, however, is risky, and the bunds
often fail, especially those of July and September. The best bunds are in December and
March. In good seasons the mulberry plant sells at from Re. 1 to Rs. 2 per maund, each
bigha producing 10 maunds. In the rains 4 maunds are sold for a rupee, but the price varies
according as the supply of silkworms. In the March bund of the present year the plant was
selling at three maunds per rupee, and was also being out for cattle, as the supply of worms
had to some extent failed. Taking, however, an average of years, the profits of mulberry
cultivation cannot be less than Rs. 25 per bigha of 2,500 square yards equal to Rs. 48 per acre.
The cocoons are chiefly sold to European filatures, of which there is one at Bhola hát, but there
are 'many small native filatures. A maund of coooons is estimated to make three seers of silk
which sells at Rs. 13 per seer, and thus the profits of reeling are about Rs. 5 per maund
of cocoons.
39. A feature of the Kotwali pargana is the large area of mango groves on the banks
of the Kalindri river, amounting to 10•3 per cent. of the total area surveyed. These mango
groves are let at 10 annas per bigha, and in good seasons the fruit on the trees is sold at from
Rs. 250 to Rs. 300. Mulberry lands and mango groves fetch a high price. In one instance
41 bighas were sold for Rs. 297. In another instance 1) bighas were sold for Rs. 200. In
a third instance a bigha fetched Rs 71. The bigha in these cases is 2,500 square yards, or
à little over half an acre.
The wages of labour are high. Coolies appear to have adopted the eight-hour movement,
and work only half the day, for which they are paid 2 annas and a meal. Labourers from
Tirhut work the whole day, and are paid 4 annas or 3 annas and two meals. At the time of
harvest, labourers are given two-elevenths of the grain when it has been threshed out. "

pargana Farkya in Monghyr, which are liable to inundation from the Kosi, and the unfertile
villages of the Haveli pargana in Purnea, account for the large proportion of uncultivated
land. The holdings of raiyats contain a fair average of pasturage, especially in the Purnea!
district. Of the total settled area, 13 per cent. is waste land held by raiyats. The total area
occupied by groves is 2.5 per cent. The Bhagalpur district is the most thickly wooded, con-
taining i per cent. of groves, while Monghyr only contains 1:3 per cent., and Purnea 1.2 per
cent. The small area measured in Darbhanga contains 10 per cent. of groves. Of the
unoulturable area more than half consists of tanks, rivers, and jheels, while 15 per cent.
consists of Government and other roads. The various portions of the estates are well supplied
with communications. The Tirhut State Railway taps the north of the Bhagalpur district,
and there is also communication by road and river with the south. The southern portions of
the district are connected by roads with Monghyr on the south and the railway on the north.
Boats ply on the Tiljuga and Dumra rivers. Parts of the Farkya pargana are inaccessible
except in the dry season, but a Government road traverses the area from north to south and
from east to west. There is also easy communication by the Tiljuga, Gunduck, and Ganges
rivers. The portions of the estates in Purnea are connected by roads with the markets of
Kishanganj, Purnea, Kasba, and Forbesganj, and with the Assam-Bihar Railway. The
Mahanadi river affords communication to the Sujanagar pargana. The Mahinagar pargana in
Malda is difficult of access by land, but is connected with the civil station by the Mahanadi
river. Roads connect the other portions of the estates with the civil station, and the Bhagi-
rathi and Kallindri rivers afford means of communication with the Ganges..
41. Fiscal account of the estate.--A list is appended (Appendix B) showing the estates
and putni mahals, of which the Srinagar and Banaili property, affected by the settlement
operations, is comprised. The property is contained in 64 revenue-paying estates and
three revenue-free estates, and 77 villages are held under putni leases. Of the revenue-
paying estates 15 belong solely to the Srinagar Wards' property. In two estates in
Bhagalpur, viz., tauzi Nos. 3555 and 3556, shares are held by other proprietors as
described in Appendix B. The revenue-free estates belong to the Srinagar Wards' estate.
Of the putni estates, two, viz., those of Khunti Dhudhaili, pargana Haveli, Purnea, and
Mathour, pargana Kadwa, in the same district, are held jointly by the two estates, while the
rest of the putni villages belong solely to the Srinagar Wards' estate. Of the total area set-
tled, 83 per cent. is held jointly, and 17 per cent. is held solely by the Srinagar Wards. There
is not much to say regarding the history of the property. It has been acquired from time to.
time by purchase. The first estates purchased by the family were those of the Tirakhardah
pargana, which were acquired by purchase in 1780 A.D. These estates were partitioned
under the Butwarra Act in 1885, and only the portion belonging to the Srinagar estate has
been settled. The property in the Bhagalpur district consists of 26 estates with a Govern-
ment revenue of Rs. 38,987-2. Threo estates in pargana Daphar have been recently allotted
by partition to the Srinagar estate. In the Khubkhand pargana shares are held in three
villages by other proprietors than the Srinagar Wards and Banaili Raja. The property in
Bhagalpur was purchased by the ancestors of the present family in 1792 A.D. and subse-
quent years. The estates in the Khubkhand and Uttarkhand parganas formerly belonged to a
Rajput family, who, in order to obtain a grant of the lands from the Emperor at Delhi,
became Muhammadans. The descendants of the family still reside at Nawbatta, and hold shares.
in three villages, but they have become greatly impoverished. The property in Monghyr
consists of six main estates and of 14 small mahals, which were originally Government
estates reserved as pensions for sepoys. These jagir lands have been bought by the Srinagar
· and Banaili proprietors, and are included in other villages which beong to them. The estates
in Monghyr originally belonged to a Pathan family, of which Bhawani Singh, an inhabi-
tant of Kharakpur, was the founder. The present proprietors have acquired the estates by
purchase. The property situated in Darbhanga belongs wholly to the Srinagar Wards' estate.
There are five small estates which have been recently separated from those of other proprietors
by partition. In Purnea the Srinagar Wards own solely three estates in pargana Tirakhar-
dah, as previously described, and one estate in Shapur pargana. In the Haveli pargana the
Banaili-Srinagar proprietors hold jointly, but in unequal shares (as described in Appendix B)
one estate containing nine villages. These were formerly revenue-free and were resumed by
Government in 1841. They were purchased in 1874 by the present proprietors. The rest
of the property in this pargana consists of putni mabals as described in Appendix B. There
are 21 villages held under putni leases, and six villages under a durputni lease, of which 26
are held solely by the Srinagar Wards, and one village is held jointly. In this pargana are
two revenue-free estates, viz., Mirzahbari and Miaḥbazar, which belong solely to the Srinagar
Wards. There is also a revenue-free estate, Chuck Harki Jha, in the Dharampur pargana,
held solely by the Srinagar Wards. These revenue-free estates are small and contain only
598 bighas. There are two estates in Dharumpur containing six villages, the sole property
of the Srinagar estates, and four villages held under putni leases by the same estates.
In the Kadwa pargana of Purnea, the Srinagar and Banaili estates hold one village,
that of Mathour, jointly under a putni lease, and the Srinagar estate holds solely 14 villages
under a putni lease acquired by purchase in 1877. In parganas Tajpur, Purnea, the Srinagar
estates hold solely 31 villages under a putni lease acquired in 1875. The rest of the property.
qonsists of four estates held on the revenue-roll of Malda, but including two parganas of
the Purnea district, viz., Dehat and Sujanagar. These estates were acquired by purchase
in 1795 A.D.

The figures of Dharampur are exceptional, and relate only to two estates with an area of
575 acres. This pargana has been overrun by the Kosi river, and villages have been diluviated.
Portions of estates have passed from one proprietor to another, and there is a general con-
fusion as to the boundaries of lands belonging to the different estates. One village claimed
by the estates has passed into the possession of the Maharaja of Darbhanga. The fertility
of the lands has much deteriorated since the settlement of land revenue, and hence the actual
payments of revenue exceed the receipts of rental. Excluding this pargana, it will be seen
that the incidence of land revenue is highest in Malda and is lowest in Monghyr. The
figures for Malda give rise to a suspicion of their accuracy; but I find on reference to
the Collectorate records that they are correct. The lands of a portion of the Akbarabad
pargana in Malda are very fertile and are cultivated with special crops such as the mulberry,
and this probably accounts for the high incidence of Government revenue. At the
same time the raiyats are sturdy and independent and have preserved a low rent. In the
Monghyr district the low average rate of revenue is due to the fact that the Farkya pargana
was at the time of the settlement of land revenue covered with swamps and jungle.
Portions of it have only been brought under cultivation in recent years. In Darbhanga the
percentage of Government revenue on the rentals is low for the reason that rents have been
forced up by competition. In comparing the incidence of land revenue in Bhagalpur and
Purnea, the figures for the Tirakhardah pargana must be examined. In this pargana the
conditions of raiyats' holdings are similar to those prevailing in Bhagalpur. There are
rates of rental and the areas of holdings are periodically ascertained. Under these circum-
stances it will be seen that the incidence of the land revenue in both districts is almost
identical. On the other hand, where the rents are consolidated as in the Haveli pargana,
the inoidence of the Government revenue and its proportion to the rental is much higher. In
the Haveli pargana the figures are taken from a series of villages which formed a revenue-
free estate which was resumed and assessed to land revenue in 1841. The revenue was
assessed, not on the actual payments of rents, but on a rent-roll prepared according to rates
deduced from neighbouring villages. The rent-roll contained rentals 30 per cent. in excess of
the rents now actually realized, and hence the proportion of Government revenue to the rental
is high.
The total Government revenue payable by the estates is Rs. 1,13,138-12-7 against
receipts from rents (including halhasıli and bhaoli rents and exclusive of rents in the patni
villages) amounting to Rs. 4,68,999.
( 40 )
43. Patni rents.-The profits of estates held under patni leases are not very great, as

It appears that, as in the case of the land revenue, the Dharampur Pargana does not
afford much profit to the landlords. The patni system was introduced into Purnea by the
Murshidabad proprietors, and has its origin in the absenteeism of the owner of the estates.
Proprietors living in the district prefer to lease their villages for short periods The total
profits of the patni villages is 25.3 per cent.
44. Shares of the estates. It is not easy to specify the exact shares in the property
which has been settled, owned by the two co-sharers. The shares vary not only in different
parganas, but in different estates. Thus in the village of Kohbara the Srinagar estate owns
3 annas 54 gundas and the Banaili estate 12 annas 145 gundas. I have ascertained the pro-
portion of each estate for the purpose of fixing the amount of the cost to be paid by the
co-sharers, and find that .830 of the settled area is held jointly by the two estates, and .169 is
held solely by the Srinagar Ward's Estate. In two estates in Bhagalpur, viz., tauzi No. 3555
and No. 3556, other proprietors as described in Appendix B hold shares, the area of which
amounts to 1,733 acres.
The following statement shows the shares of the two estates and their rental in the area
settled, including the parganas of Kotwali and Akbarabad. The rentals include receipts from
halhasili and jaidâdi lands estimated at Re. 1-8 per acre :-

The proprietors, other than the Banaili and Srinagar co-sharers, who hold shares in two
estates in pargana Khubkhand, Bhagalpur, are detailed in Appendix B. The Srinagar
Wards' Estates gain a larger share of the increase of rental, as the Banaili Raj has no share
in the portion of the Tirakhurdah pargana of Purnea which was settled, and from which an
increase of Rs. 2,570 was obtained.
(41)
45. Area settled.-As described in paragraph 11, the total area surveyed was 447,662
acres. Of this area, 7,654 acres were excluded from settlement in the Purnea district, as
explained in the same paragraph. In the course of settlement it was found that proprietors
other than the Banaili and the Srinagar estates held lands interlaced with the surveyed area.
Lands were also excluded on account of adverse decisions in boundary dispute cases. The
total area thus excluded is 9,188-1-36 acres. In addition to the area so excluded, the tract
surveyed in Monghyr included a number of separate estates or resumed revenue-free proper-
ties settled with parties other than the Banaili and Srinagar proprietors, and containing an
area of 4,555 acres. This area was excluded from settlement. The total area thus excluded
is 21,397-1-36. Thus the total area settled is 426,265-0-30 acres or 666 square miles, includ-
ing the parganas of Akbarabad and Kotwali in Malda.
46. Classification of settled area.--Of the total area settled, 734 per cent. is rent-paying,
3.28 per cent. is held rent-free, and 23:68 is held by the proprietors. Of the latter area, 2:47
is cultivated land held by the proprietors' private lands, and the rest (i.e., 21.21 per cent.) is
waste land not settled with raiyats. The proportion of waste land available for settlement
and of lands settled with the raiyats varies in each district and pargana, and the following
comparative table shows the proportions in the Bhagalpur district :-

These figures may be compared with those of the Farkya pargana, Monghyr district,
where, out of a total settled area of 117,680 acres, 68.5 per cent. is settled with raiyats, 107 per
cent. is proprietors' private lands, 2:6 per cent. is held rent-free, and 27.2 per cent. is waste
land not settled. It will be seen that the area settled with raiyats is slightly less in Monghyr
than in Bhagalpur. There is also a smaller area of rent-free holdings and proprietors' private
lands, but a larger area of waste, which has been explained previously. The figures for the
Khubkhand pargana show only 65'5 per cent. as settled with raiyats and 8:9 as held by pro-
prietors. The latter area is, however, held by raiyats, and the proprietors' private lands are
only nominally kâmats. They have been acquired either by auction-purchase or by taking
over lands similarly acquired by lessees. Most of the villages have been in lease for many
years until recently. The lessees gradually acquired private lands by taking up abandoned
holdings or by buying up holdings at auction sales. In some cases such kâmats are the result
of an attempt to introduce indigo, raiyats having been induced to give up portions of their
holdings for a zerat, as in Bihar. This was done in Ekar village, and, when the factory was
abandoned, the zerats were retained. These lands have been kept separate from the regular
rent-paying portion of the villages, because they appertain to the co-sharers separately, and
are settled by them with raiyats separately. The justification for treating them as kâmats is
found in section 120 of the Tenancy Act, which refers to custom as one of the means of estab-
lishing the right of the proprietor to private lands. These lands are held by raiyats, and at
higher rates of rent than other lands of the village. Many of them are held by raiyats on
bhaoli terms. The details are given in paragraph 52. The general rate of rent is Rs. 2-10-6
per acre, against the rates of Re. 1-14 for lands outside the kâmats. In the parganas Daphar
and Utterkhund the percentage of rent-free holdings is high. In the Daphar pargana the
holdings are grants to Brahmans made by former proprietors and of very ancient dates.
Nearly all the grants were contested by the proprietors, but were admitted on the production
of proofs. In the Utterkhand pargana the rent-free lands are found chiefly in the villages of
Chainpur and Bangaon, which formerly belonged to a family of Mithila Brahmins who have
retained or acquired lands rent-free.
47. Comparing the figures of Bhagalpur and Monghyr with those ascertained in the
Muzaffarpur settlement, the chief difference is in the area of proprietors' private lands. In
Muzaffai pur the percentage was 16, whereas in the Monghyr and Bhagalpur districts it is 1.7
per cent. and 4.2 per cent, respectively. This result is only natural, considering that the lands
in Muzaffarpur are divided among a great number of proprietors, who endeavour to get as much
land as possible into their possession, whereas in a single estate, such as that of the Banaili
( 42 )
and Srinagar Raj, the acquisition of private lands would prove an encumbrance. The area
held rent-free in Muzaffarpur was 2:5 per cent. of the settled area, against 3.8 per cent. in
Bhagalpur and 2.6 in Monghyr.
48. The classification of lands according to settlement in the Purnea distriot differs
considerably from that of Monghyr and Bhagalpur, as will be seen from the subjoined
statement:-

The percentage of rent-paying lands in Purnea is 80, against 70-8 in Bhagalpur and
68.5 in Monghyr, while the percentage of waste land not settled with raiyats is only 11.8,
against 20.8 in Bhagalpur, and 27.2 in Monghyr. This result is not due to the higher
fertility of lands in Purnea, for the percentage of cultivation is lower in Purnea than in
the other districts. The explanation is to be found in the fact that the raiyats have extended
their holdings beyond the limits settled with them so as to include large areas of waste
land. In the parganas of Haveli and Kadwa the raiyats hold as much waste land as
cultivated land, and in the whole district the proportion of cultivated land held by raiyats
to waste land is as 66 to 34. It is probable that in the Haveli pargana the raiyats are not
entitled to all the waste land recorded in their names. The landlords, however, in the absence
of any measurement papers or reliable record of areas of holdings, were not in a position to
deny the claims of the raiyats. The latter claim large tracts of waste land suitable only for
pasturage. In many cases there are the remains of old boundary marks which would appear
to show that the lands were once cultivated, and that the soil has deteriorated of late years.
This, however, is not the case. The explanation is that the lands being of poor quality are
cultivated for a term of years and are then allowed to lie fallow. In the Tajpur and Dehat
parganas the custom is to cultivate lands for three years and to allow them to lie fallow for
three years.
49. The large percentage of rent-free holdings is a feature of the Purnea district, viz.,
6.9 per cent. against 3.1 per cent. in Bhagalpur and 1.5 in Monghyr. The total number of
rent-free tenures, or miliks as they are called, in the Purnea district, is 821 against 319 in the
Monghyr district. They are most numerous in the Haveli, Shahpur, and Kadwa parganas,
and appear to have been made in ancient times under the old Nawabs of Purnea to their
dependents for charitable and religious purposes. They have since been transferred to
wealthy raiyats, and as no record was available showing the areas or boundaries, the purchasers
have been able to increase the areas of the tenures at the expense of the landlords. The
custom of giving grant of lands to village officials in exchange for services does not prevail,
except in the Sujanagur pargana, where 628 bighas or 3.8 of the settled area are so held.
The average size of such service tenures is 2 acres. In the Tirakhurdah pargana a few
raiyats hold small portions of land rent-free as khanabari. These rent-free lands appear to
have been grants to early settlers in the pargana to induce them to take up lands. There are
58 acres of land held under the title of khanabari.
In the Purnea district there are a large number of chit lands, that is to say, land
geographically situated within the limit of one village according to the revenue survey are
recorded in the landlords' papers as belonging to another village. It appears that in former
days raiyats were in the habit of abandoning their holdings in one village and taking up new
lands in another. The landlords, when they discovered where the raiyats had settled, assessed
their new holdings, but retained their names in the villages where they were originally record-
ed as tenants. The total area of these chit lands in Purnea is 2,327 acres, or 1:8 of the settled
area. The largest number is found in the Haveli pargana, viz. 1,670 acres, or 3:2 per cent.
of the settled area.

The area in these parganas is too small for any conclusion to be drawn from the above

land, most of which consists of mango groves.

The percentage of waste land not settled with raiyats is larger than in either Purnea
or Bhagalpur. The circumstances of the Bhatya Pargana are, however, peouliar. In the
Mahinagar pargana there is considerable room for extension of cultivation. The large area
of rent-free lands is due to the custom of paying village officers by grants of land. Lands
held rent-free as brahmotar or other religious grants are only 4 per cent. of the total area.
52. Classification of holdings.--The statistical statement (20B) shows the classification
of holdings. Of the lands classified, 92:3 per cent. are held by raiyats, 33 per cent.
are held by proprietors, and 4.4 per cent, are held as rent-free grants. 'Of the lands held by
proprietors, 87 per cent. is recorded as proprietors' private lands and 13 per cent. as in the
possession of the proprietors, but not private lands. As previously explained, the largest area
of proprietors' private lands is found in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur, where for
the most part they have been acquired by lessees and have been taken possession of by the
proprietors on the expiry of the leases. These lands are not actually cultivated by the
proprietors, but are leased out at special rates, which are higher than the prevailing rates of
villages, or are let on produce rents. Thus there are 2,931 occupants of the 5,087 acres
recorded as proprietors' private lands in the Khubkhand pargana. Of this area 2,105 acres
are settled at Rs. 3,990-3-6, or at Re. 1-14-4 per acre; 3,882 acres are held on halbasili
tenures; 2,395 acres are held on produce rents, and 195 acres are held by the proprietors.
In the Haveli pargana of Purnea, the nij-jote lands, amounting to 996 acres, are chiefly lands
retained by the estates near the residence of the proprietors, as in the village of Banaili, and
in the village of Khunti Dhudhali, where the Banaili estate holds over 522 bighas and the
Srinagar estate 1,345 bighas of private lands.
53: Rent-free holdings. The total number of rent-free tenure-holders is 2,445, with
an area of 14,421 acres, or nearly 6 acres for each tenure. The average size of the tenure
varies in the different parganas. Thus in the Daphar pargana in the Bhagalpur district,
f 2
( 44 )
the rent-free tenures average 15 acres. In the Haveli pargana of Purnea the average is
13 acres, and in the Tirakhurdah pargana 9 acres. In the other parganas of the estates the
average is two acres. The reason of the difference appears to be that the Daphar and
Tirakhurdah parganas are outlying portions of the estate, where lands were not formerly
much in request and large grants were made for religious purposes. In the Haveli pargana
the large size of the rent-free tenures is probably due to the fraudulent extension of the
original grants in the absence of any reliable records of measurement. The largest areas of
rent-free tenures are found in the following villages in the Haveli pargana, viz., Chandi
(1,823 bighas), Chanka (7,202 bighas), Banaili 1773 bighas), Balua (407 bighas), Khokha
1900 bighas), and Jhunikalan (621 bighas). The validity of most of these tenures was tested
in the course of the settlement proceedings. It was generally found that, even if the original
sanad could not be produced, the occupant could produce proof of acquisition of the lands
as a rent-free grant by purchase. In the villages of Sonsa, Bhanbhag, and Parora there are
54 rent-free tenure-holders. These villages had been resumed by Government in 1841 as
an invalid revenue-free estate, and at this time the validity of the rent-free grants was tested.
They were at that time declared to be invalid, and as they were less than 100 bighas they
were made over to the proprietors for assessment. The proprietors took no steps in the matter,
but in the course of the present settlement proceedings they claimed that the lands should be
assessed. It was shown, however, that the landlords had not taken the necessary steps
required by law to resume the invalid grants, and the right to hold rent-free was maintained
in the settlement court. The size of many of the grants had increased considerably from
what was recorded in the sanads or the old settlement proceedings, but the proprietors were
not able to point out where rent-paying lands had been taken into the lakhiraj holding.
One value of the present settlement proceedings will be to fix the limits of the rent-free
grants and prevent their fraudulent expansion in future. Taking the whole area settled, the
percentage of rent-free grants is 4:4 against 4:1 in the area settled in Muzaffarpur. On the
other hand, the area of the grants is 6 acres against 1} acres in Muzaffarpur. This
difference is due to the great competition for land in the latter district. In the easterly
parganas of the Purnea district, where the population is chiefly Muhammadan, the rent-free
grants are insignificant.

Among the tenure-holders, the proprietors, i.e., the estates are shown as holding 54 tenures
with an area of 3,766 acres. These are for the most part holdings bought at auction sales
for arrears of rent. The co-sharers buy up such holdings separately and become liable for the
rent to the joint estate. The holding is then re-settled by the auction purchaser at higher
than the prevailing rate if possible. As the holdings are not bought by the joint estate, the
tenant's itterest is not merged in that of the proprietor's, and as the holdings are acquired
with the intention of settling them with raiyats, and such raiyats cannot be classed as
under-raiyats, the interest of the auction-purchaser has been classed as a tenure. The greater
number of these tenures is found in the Duphar pargana of Bhagalpur, where the Banaiļi
Raj has bought up the holdings of 80 raiyats with an area of 1,164 acres, and the Srinagar
Raj has purchased the holdings of 39 tenants with an area of 425 acres.
55. In the other parganas of the Bhagalpur district such lands have been classified as
proprietors' private lands, because they are settled on special terms and have, according to
custom, acquired the character of private lands. It appears that in this district there is a
difficulty in selling the holdings of raiyats in execution of arrears, and thus the landholders
are obliged to buy them in at the auctions. They are to a great extent settled as described in
paragraph 52 at produce rents. In the Purnea district the proprietors hold tenures within
the villages of which they have putni leases. These tepures were held by the estates in the
villages before they acquired the putni lease, and they are classified as tenures, so that if the
putni lease should be forfeited, the estate will still preserve the tenures. In the Kudwah
pargana the Srinagar estate is shown as holding six tenures with an area of 276 acres,
These represent lands which are locally known as “kamats.” The proprietor of the villages
gave them to his daughter for her maintenance at a nominal rent. She disposed of her rights
in the lands to the Srinagar estates, who afterwards acquired a putni of the villages. The
tenure is therefore classified separately, and the lands are let out to raiyats on special terms.
If the putni lease were forfeited, the tenure would still remain with the Srinagar estate.
56. Apart from the estates, there are 62 cultivating tenure-holders with an average
tenure of 154.7 acres. The number and size of tenures vary in the different parganas. Thus
in the Daphar pargana there are three tenure-holders with a tenure of 103 acres, while in the
Khubkhand pargapa two tenants have been recorded as tenure-holders with average tenures of
( 45 )
4! acres. In pargana Nirsingpur the tenures are larger, viz., 68 acres, while in the Uttarkhand
pargana there are two tenure-holders with average tenures of 294 acres. The classification of
tenures depends to some extent on the view which the Settlement Officer takes of the position
of the tenant under the law. In the Bhagalpur Parganas these small tenures have been so
recorded on the principle that the tenure-holder has sublet the lands to raiyats, whose status
as raiyats would be lost if the superior tenants were not classed as tepure-holders. In the
Monghyr district the more correct definition of tenure-holder has been followed, and the 25
tenure-holders have average tenures of 155.6 acres.
In the Purnea district only 21 tenants have been recorded as tenure-holders against 25
in Monghyr for nearly the same area. The average size of the tenure is, however, much larger,
viz., 231.5 acres. This is due to the fact that relatives of the Banaili Raja and of the Srinagar
Wards have been allotted tenures in the villages of Jagaili, Khobara and Bhag Pariag,
amounting to over 2,500 acres.
In the Tajpur and Dehat parganas of Purnea the conditions approximate to those of
Eastern Bengal, and there are 12 tenure-holders with average tenures of 159 acres. The
percentage of tenure-holders is only •19 per cent. of the total number of raiyats, against 11.7
in the Sankarpur estates of the Dinajpur district. On the other hand, in the area settled in
Muzaffarpur, there were no cultivating tenure-holders.
57. * classes of raiyats. — The total number of raiyats, exclusive of those holding under
tenure-holders, is 60,895, who are classified as follows:

It will be seen that 89.8 per cent. of the raiyats have occupancy rights. The classifica-
tion differs considerably from that found in the Muzaffarpur settlement, where 7.4 per cent.
had fixed rights, 85•3 had occupancy rights, and only 6.64 were without such rights, against
10.2 in these estates. The small proportion of raiyats at fixed rates compared with the num-
ber of such raiyats in Muzaffarpur is noticeable, but it is to be explained by the fact that
in the Muzaffarpur settlement the proprietors of some villages conceded the right to their
tenants in return for an immediate advance in the rental. In the present settlement
the right to hold at fixed rates was eagerly contested by the proprietors in every case,
and few raiyats could establish their claims. In the settlement of the Sankarpur estate
in Dinajpur there were only nine raiyats at fixed rates out of 23,967, and it would appear
that the right exists to a less degree in Eastern Bongal than in Bihar. The same remark
applies to occupancy raigats. Thus in Muzaffarpur the percentage of non-occupancy raiyats
( 46 )
me that at fixed resten uzaffarpusdestriai yrat 11 aprel to he 3-2 aprel til Thus in the Ballonglyr
is 6-64. In the Banaili and Srinagar estates it is 10-2, and in the Sankarpur estates of the
Dinajpur district it is over 22. In the Malda district of the Banaili-Srinagar estates the
percentage of non-occupancy raiyats in 67 villages of the Mahinagar pargana is 17.9. The
explanation probably is that in the eastern districts there is plenty of spare land, and raiyats
are able to shift their holdings and take up new lands, whereas in Muzaffarpur it is difficult
to acquire a new holding on account of the pressure of population. The efforts of the land-
lords in Tirhut have been directed to preventing raiyats from acquiring occupanoy rights by
shifting their lands; but their intentions have been frustrated by the provisions of the
Tenancy Act, which makes settlement in a village the test of occupancy rights.
58. Average sise of holdings.-From the foregoing table it will be seen that the area of
raiyats' holdings varies according to their status. Thus the average size of the holding of a
raiyat at fixed rates is 55.8 acres, of a settled raiyat 5.1 acres, and of a non-occupancy raiyat
2.2 acres. In the Muzaffarpur district the average holding of a settled raiyat was found" to
be 3 acres, and of a non-occupancy raiyat 1} acres. In the Sankarpur estates in the Dinajpur
district the average area of a holding is reported to be 3.2 acres. A special feature of the
present settlement is the large number of non-resident raiyats. Thus in the Bhagalpur
district there are 13,757 resident raiyats, against 9,753 who are non-resident. In Monghyr
there are 8,600 resident, against 7,052 non-resident raiyats. In Purnea the proportion is
9,032 resident against 4,618. The proportion of non-resident raiyats in the three districts is
42 per cent. against 33 per cent. in Muzaffarpur. The largest number of non-resident raivats
are in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur and the Farkyah pargana of the Monghyr
districts, where, on account of the liability to floods, raiyats collect into villages on the high
ground. In eleven villages out of 81 in the Khubkhand pargana, and in 33 villages out of
124 in the Farkya pargana, there are no resident raiyats. This shows that, although in
estimating the areas of raiyats' holdings some allowance ought to be made for raiyats who
have more than one holding, it is not necessary to made so large an allowance as in Muzaffar-
pur, where, on account of the subdivision of estates, the number of separate tenancies is much
greater than the actual number of raiyats.
59. Classification of raiyats in (a) Bhagalpur, (0) Monghyr.-The preceding table gives
a general statement for the whole estate ; but the proportion of the classes of raiyats
varies in each pargana and distriot, as will be seen from the following table :

From this table it appears that, though the figures for the different parganas vary, the
percentage of settled raiyats in Bhagalpur and the size of holdings are nearly the same as in
Monghyr. It will be noticed that the transfer of holdings by purchase is more common in
Monghyr than in Bhagalpur. The custom is not yet fully established in the northern pargana
of Bhagalpur, and elsewhere the lands are not sufficiently valuable to attract purchasers, and
holdings when abandoned lapse into the hands of the proprietors. Comparing the figures of
the different parganas of Bhagalpur, there appears a remarkable difference beteween the
percentage of settled raiyats in the neighbouring parganas of the Kbubkhand and Uttarkhand.
This is due to the fact that in the Khubkhand pargana there are a number of villages in which
lands are held on halbasili and jaidadi terms. These will be explained later on; but it
may be noted here that such lands are liable to inundation and are taken up by raiyats on
( 47 )
condition that rent is only paid for so much land as is found to produce a crop. The raiyat
for the first year pays a small rate, which rises to the full rate in the the third year,
after which the lands may be abandoned and new lands taken up. New settlers, who are
unable to obtain lands in the fixed portion of the village, take up small areas in the precarious
tracts, and this accounts for the unusually high percentage of non-occupancy raiyats.
'The largest holdings are found in the Daphar pargana, where population is scarce; the
smallest holdings are in the Khubkhand pargana, where the area available for cultivation is
only 68 per cent. of the total area, and where only 65-6 per cent. is settled with raiyats. On
the other hand, in the Nirsingpur and Chai parganas, where population is scarce, but culti-
vation is precarious on account of floods, the holdings are large. The small size of the hold-
ings in the Darbhanga villages is due to the fact that the lands appertaining to the estates in
this district are portions of an estate which has been partitioned, and the raiyats hold in the
other portions of the parent estate.

The Dharampur pargana may be excluded, as its area is small and the villages are little
cultivated. Apart from this pargana, it appears that the percentage of raiyats with settled
rights is higher in Purnea than in Monghyr or Bhagalpur. If it were not for the parganas
of Tajpur and Dehat, which lie on the borders of the Dinajpur district, the percentage would
be still higher. The percentage of raiyats with fixed rates is the same as in the Monghyr and
Bhagalpur districts, while the custom of transferring occupancy rights is equally prevalent.
In the Haveli pargana the proportion of raiyats who have bought the holdings of occupancy
raiyats is over 3 per cent. In the Kadwa pargana the proportion of non-occupanoy raiyats
is considerable. This is due to the fact explained in paragraph 55, that the Srinagar estate
holds a special tenure in several villages of this pargana in which the lands are leased at
holds a speciand for short Peand Sujana ne Shabpur pathoth in the For Snianagar
specialiscept in the other districts. and the raiyats holdsharers. In the samples are held in blonber
Except in the Shahpur and Sujanagar parganas, the average size of a raiyat's holding
is higher than in other districts. In the Shahpur pargana the lands settled form part of an
estate which has been partitioned, and the raiyats hold both in the portion now settled and in
the portion which has been allotted to the other co-sharers. In the Sujanagar pargana the
figures which give the total numker of raiyats are misleading. The villages are held in blocks,
and raiyats hold in each of the three or four villages which constitute a block. The qumber
of raiyats has been ascertained from each village, and thus a raiyat is shown more than once.
This accounts for the fact that the number of the non-resident raiyats is equal to that of the
resident. In the Tirakhurdah pargana the lands are fertile, and the proportion of waste is
small, and thus the areas of holdings are normal, i.e., about 6 acres. In the other parts of the
district the lands are less fertile and the raiyats hold large areas of waste land, and thus the
average areas of holdings are over 9 acres. The effect of the provisions of the Tenancy Act
in securing the rights of raiyats may be judged from the fact that in 1875 the Collector of
Purnea reported that in that district the great mass of the raiyats did not possess occupanoy
rights, but held on short term leases or on no leases at all, whereas now over 92 per cent. are
found to possess occupancy rights.

It is not possible to draw any conclusion from the totals of this table, because the Bhatiya
pargana has peculiar features. It is situated in the jungly traot forming the outskirts of the
ancient city of Gour, and has only recently been brought under cultivation. In the Mahina-
gar pargana cultivation is extending, and there is a considerable proportion of new settlers.
The average size of the holding is small for the same reason noted above in the case of Suja-
nagar pargana. The villages are divided into blocks or taluks, and raiyats hold lands situated
in more than one village.
62. Special tenures, Halhasili-Jaidâdi.--The tenants have been recorded according to the
classification prescribed in the Tenancy Act. Raiyats hold either at money rentals or produce
rents. The only special tenures are those locally known as halhasili and jaidâdi. Under the
halhasili system a raiyat takes up certain lands for which he pays 4 annas per bigha for the
first year and 12 annas per bigha for the second year, and the full rate (which varies from
Re. 1-12 to Re. 1-4 in the different villages) for the 3rd year. Rent, however, is not paid
for the whole holding, but only for such lands as are cultivated and sown with a crop. No
consideration is paid to the crop, whether the yield is good or bad, but rent is not paid for any
plot left fallow. This tenure is prevalent for lands subject to inundation, and where cultiva-
tion is preoarious along the banks of rivers or on sandy high lands of poor quality. The low
rates are granted for the first two years in order to induce settlers to take up the lands. After
three years the lands, if they require a rest, are abandoned and new lands taken up. The
halhasili system prevails in lands near sluggish streams, where theinundations do not seriously
affect the crop, while the lands are always moist and fit for cultivation. The jaidâ di tenure
is slightly different from the halhasili, but the origin is the same. In the case of jaidâ di
tenures, the raiyat only pays rent for the land on which a crop is found at harvest time.
Thus, whereas in the halhasili system rent must be paid if the land is sown, in the jaidâdi
system rent is only paid if a crop is secured. If the crop of any field is totally lost, the raiyat
pays rent for only two kathas or one-tenth per bigha. If the crop has not been injured, the
raigat pays rent on nine-tenths of the area. In the Ekarth taluka of the Khubkhand pargana
of Bhagalpur a special custom prevails. If the produce is estimated at 114 maunds per bigha,
the full rate is charged. If the produce is less, à proportionate reduction is made in the rate.
The jaidâdi system is more favourable to the raiyat than the halbasili, and is adopted in
lands near the Tiljuga river, which yearly overflows its banks with a rapid current, and, when
it recedes, leaves the soil hard and dry.
Halhasili lands are peculiar to the Bhagalpur district, and are found chiefly in the
Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur, where 10 per cent. of the rent-paying area in 35 villages
is so held. In the Uttarkhand pargana the halhasili area is 10 per cent., and in pargana
Chai it is 25 per cent. of the total rent-paying area. The jaidâdi system is found only in the
Khubkhand pargana, where it prevails in 22 villages, with an area amounting to 10 per cent.
of the total rent-paying area.
An attempt was made to convert these tenures into holdings at money rentals by the
reduction of rates in proportion to the actual payments for a number of years. The conver-
sion was effected in only five villages. As a rule, the raiyats preferred to adhere to the old
arrangement, and required larger concessions than the landlords were willing to give as an
inducement to change it. There was an attempt made to commute this class of rents under
section 40 of the Tenancy Act, but the Special Judge ruled that the section did not apply.
( 49 )
63. Produce rents. The area held on produce rents is 5,090 acres, or 1.6 of the total.
rent-paying area. This system is almost entirely restricted to the Khubkhand pargana of
Bhagalpur, where the estates let out their private lands on bhaoli terms. The area so held in
this pargava is 5 per cent. of the rent-paying area. This system in the case of the proprietors'
private lands is maintained in order to prevent the raiyats from acquiring occupancy rights
in the lands, so that they may be settled when any new raiyat applies for lands at higher
tates than those prevailing in the village.
64. Under-raiyats. The number of under-raiyats whose rights have been recorded is
11,128. These under-raiyats have, as a rule, no special rights. They hold lands on produce
rents, and are liable to ejectment at any time. They do not hold leases or agreements, and
are little more than the field labourers of wealthy raiyats. In accordance with your letter
No. 4467A, dated the 25th April 1888, separate khatians of under-raiyats were not prepared,
except where they held under a bramotodar or other permanent tenancy. The names of
under-raiyats, and the terms on which they hold, were entered in the original khatians against
the fields held by then. In the Dehat and Tajpur parganas of Purnea and in the Malda
district, under-raiyats appeared to have a higher status and to be able to acquire rights of
occupancy. Khatians were therefore prepared and distributed to 369 under-raiyats The
rate of rent paid by under-raiyats in Purnea averaged Re. 1-15 per acre against Re. 1-9 paid
by the raiyats. As the raiyats have large holdings at consolidated rentals, it is not easy to
say what the exact proportion of rent for particular lands is paid by the under-raiyats. In
Malda under-raiyats pay generally at the rate of Re. 1-4 per bigha against Re. 0-10-9 paid
by the raiyats.
65. Comparison of areas and rates of holdings held by different classes of raiyats. In
order to ascertain the position of the different classes of raiyats, as regards the area of these
holdings, and the rate of rent paid, I have prepared the annexed statement, showing for each
pargana the percentage of each class of raiyat, the average size of their holdings, and the .
average rate of rent per acre paid by them. It will be seen that, as was to be expected, the
riayats holding at fixed rates are in the best position. They have larger holdings and pay at
lower rates than other classes of raiyats. The difference in their favour is especially marked in
the Daphar and Sujanagar parganas. This class of raiyats, however, is numerically small,
and does not exceed 3 per cent. of the whole number. In the Uttarkhand pargana, where the
average holdings are shown in 121 and 71 acres, there are only two raiyats of the class.
66. In the other classes of raiyats it appears that the northerly parganas of Bhagalpur
and Purnea, viz., the Daphar pargana and the Tirakhurdah pargana, are the most favourably
situated. The number of raiyats in the former pargana with settled rights is over 90 per
cent. The holdings average over 7 acres, and the rates of rent do not exceed Re. 1-6 per acre.
The reason for these favourable conditions is probably that the parganas have until recently
been far removed from connection with other parts of the district, and have an evil reputation
for health on account of their situation near the Nepal Terai. The population in the Dapbar
pargana is only 348 to the square mile, representing 58 families, whereas the number of
raiyats is 53 to the square mile. The pargana is being opened out by improved communica-
tions. Bengali traders have opened out the markets, and the Assam-Bihar Railway runs
near it. Consequently it is found that new settlers have to pay higher rates for their lands.
They, in fact, pay at a rate 50 per cent. in advance of the old rates, and the general average
paid by new raiyats is over Re. 1-9 per acre, against Re. 1-5 paid by old settlers..
67. In the other parganas of the Bhagalpur district it will be seen that the condition of
the tenantry is not so favourable. In the Khubkhand pargana, containing 81 square miles,
the number of raiyats with settled rights is less than 85 per cent. of the total number, and
the average holding of regular rent-paying lands is less than 3 acres. These figures are, how-
over, misleading. They do not show how much lands are held on the special tenures known
as halhasili and jaidadi, described in paragraph 62. These lands amount to 20 per cent. of
the total area, and therefore the average size of holdings must be increased by one-fifth. The
actual area held by settled raiyats of both mal and halhasili land is 34,803 acres, and the
average size of the holding is thus 3:4 acres. In addition to this, I have already in paragraph
58 remarked on the large proportion of non-resident raiyats found in this pargana, due to the
difficulty of finding sites for habitation in some of the villages. The population of the
pargana at the census of 1881 was 564:87 to the square mile, equal to about 80 families,
whereas the number of holdings is 132 to the square mile. It is evident therefore that many
of the raiyats hold in more villages than one, and the size of the holding, instead of being less
than 3 acres, will be nearer 5 acres. This in fact is the average in the other three parganas
of the district, where the same conditions as to non-residency do not prevail, and where the
number of the raiyats corresponds fairly with the number of families as found by the last
census. It is not, however, to be denied that the raiyats in the Khubkhand and neighbouring
parganas of Bhagalpur are among the least prosperous of the estate. The population, as
described above, is 564 to the square mile, and only 68 per cent. of the area is cultivated. The
raiyats have smaller holdings, their rights are less secure, their lands are less fertile than
elsewhere. The number of raiyats in one of the poorest villages, with holdings less than 4
acres, has been found to be over 75 per cent. of the total number, and the number of the
purely labouring class is 16 per cent., while the number of raiyats, who supplement the
profits of small holdings by labour, is over 40 per cent. of the inhabitants. In the northern
pargana of Daphar, on the other hand, the number of raiyats with holdings of less than 4
acres is 34 per cent., while the percentage of labourers is nearly the same. An examination
of the records of six large villages taken at random in the southern pargana of the Bhagalpur
noweg, in fact, penyata is over Roal of the Bhael hubkhand part cent of them to figures are now
maiyate of Techno noted in partes de nal madition
andidadi, dose not showing landshan 85 porgana, comten that the
( 50 )
district shows that, of 1,219 raiyats, 651 or 53.4 hold less than three bighas of 4,225 square
yards, 68 or 5-6 per cent. bold between 3 and 4 bighas, 91 or 7.4 per cent. hold between 4
and 5 bighas, while 409 raiyats or 32-5 per cent. hold over 5 bighas. It is clear, therefore,
that a large proportion of the inhabitants are badly off, and have to supplement the profits on
their holdings by other employments. The usual food of the poorer classes is merua bread,
and the general physique of the people is weaker than in other districts. The opinion of
Babu Barhamdeo Narayan, Assistant Settlement Officer, who had charge of the settlement of
the pargana, was that, though there are a number of well-to-do raiyats, the poorer classes are
badly clothed and badly housed, and live as & rule from hand to mouth.
68. Turning to the Monghyr district, although the rents are higher, it is found that
the rights of the raiyats are more secure, and the average size of the holdings is greater. The
proportion of non-resident ragiats is high, due to the uninhabitable character of some of the
villages, and it appears that the raiyats have to some extent more than one bolding. The
population is 506 to the square mile equal to 71 families, while the number of holdings is 66
to the square mile. The people of this district are as a rule prosperous, and though the rates
of rent are higher than in Bhagalpur, the fertility of the soil is greater. Thus wheat is
estimated to produce 9 maunds per bigha against 7 maunds in Bhagalpur, and pulses 7
maunds per bigha against 5 maunds in Bhagalpur. .
69. In Purnea all the parganas, except those of Tirakhurdah and Sujanagar, have
consolidated rentals. There is, with the exception of those parganas, no system of soil-rates.
The Haveli pargana is the most important, and it will be seen that the average size of the
holdings is over 8 ares, while the rent averages less than 12 annus per acre. The population
in this tract is sparse, viz., 346 to the square mile, equal to 55 families, while the number of
holdings is 48 to the square mile. The low incidence of rental is partly due to the unfertile
character of the soil and partly to the extension of holdings by encroachment. It appears that
originally lands were settled according to rates, but without any accurate measurement. The
raiyats were able to extend their holdings, in the absence of any measurement records and
of competition for lands, and all record of rates dropped out. The low rate is to some extent
justified by the upfertile sandy character the soils. Less than one-half of the area held
by raiyats is cultivated, while in the case of uncultivated land used for pasturage, the nominal
rate is 6 pies per acre against 2 annas in the northerly pargana of Tirakhurdah. It will be
seen that rates in these parganas are much lower than those paid where a system of soil-rates
is in force. In the Tajpur and Dehat parganas, which lie on the borders of the Dinajpur.
district, the areas of holdings are large, and a great proportion of the raiyats have settled
rights, but the rates of rent are comparatively high, considering that the rents are consoli.
dated, and that nearly half the areas of holdings is waste land. This is due to the better
quality of the cultivated lands, which are suitable for tobacco, sugarcane, and jute crops, and
the rice harvest is less precarious than in the central parganas,
70. In the Sujanagar pargana the average area of holdings, viz. 4 acres, appears low.
This, however, is not actually the case, as raiyats hold in more villages than one. This can
be seen from the large proportion of non-resident raiyats, and also from the fact that, though
the population is only 355 to the square mile, equal to 70 families, the number of holdings
per square mile is 135. The average size of the holdings should therefore be doubled in
order to show the area cultivated by each raiyat. The same remarks apply to the Mahinagar
pargana, which is the largest tract surveyed in North Malda. Here the population is 349
to the square mile, equal to 63 families, while the number of holdings included in the records
is 142 per square mile. The average size of the holdings, instead of being less than 3 acres
per raiyat, should be over 7 acres. The return for the Bhatiya pargana cannot be compared
with those of other parganas, as it consists only of a few scattered villages in the outskirts
of the ancient City of Gour, and the raiyats cultivate lands in the villages of neighbouring
proprietors.
* *71. Taking the general results of this comparison of holdings and rates of rent, it will
be seen that the holdings are as a rule large, and that, where the average size of the holding
is less than 5 acres, as in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur, and the Mahinagar pargana
of Malda, the condition of the raiyats is not entirely prosperous: but where there are large
holdings and low rates, as in Duphar and Tirakhurdah parganas, the raiyats are well-to-do.
The facility with which the raiyats of the Duphar pargana tided over the bad year of 1888
compared with the distress felt in the northern tracts of Darbhanga and Muzaffarpur confirms
this fact. Compared with the results obtained in the Muzaffarpur settlement, the position of
raiyats in the estates under settlement is more prosperous than in that district, where the
average rate of rent is Rs. 3-12 per bigha, and the average size of the holding only 3 acres.
It is seen also that where soil-rates exist, the average rate of rent is higher than where there
are consolidated rents--a fact which follows from the theory that the latter form of rental
only exists in tracts where the soil is unfertile, cultivation backward, and the competition for
lands slight.
72. Comparing one class of raiyats with another, it appears that, with a few exceptions,
raiyats with settled rights have larger holdings than non-occupancy raiyats. The difference
is very marked in the large tracts in the Kubkhund pargana and in Monghyr, where the non-
occupancy raiyats hold less than half the area of the settled raiyats. In Purnea and Malda
the result is the same for the parganas where soil-rates exist, viz., Sujanagar and Tirakhur-
dah, but in the other parganas this uniformity is broken by special cases in Haveli and
Tajpur. In the Haveli pargana the difference is due to the settlement of several large
holdings at low rates with dependents of the estates, while in Tajpur the uniformity is broken
per population is longo proportions caso, as raupnago aroa eta hora
( 51 )
by special settlements in two villages. In Dehat pargana there is no difference in the size
of the holdings. In Monghyr there is little difference between the areas held by resident
and non-resident raiyats, whereas elsewhere, in the parganas such as Daphar, Khubkhand,
Uttarkhand in Bhagalpur, and Tirakhurdah and Sujanagar in Purnea, where the conditions
of cultivation are normal, the residents have the larger holdings except in the case of non-
occupanoy raiyats. In the parganas where this rule is not maintained it will be found that
the number of non-residents is comparatively small, and thus the uniformity is broken by a
few such raiyats who have acquired large holdings. In several parganas, such as Haveli and
Dehat, there is a marked difference in the areas held by resident and non-resident non-
ocoupancy raiyats, the latter having the larger holdings. This result in the case of the
Haveli pargana is due to the settlement of a few large holdings with dependents of the
estates, and elsewhere it is probable that resident non-occupany raiyats are those who are
emerging from the position of labourers, while those raiyats who come from distant villages
for land are substantial persons who are able to take up large holdings. The position of the
occupancy raiyats, i.e., those who have purchased holdings, is peculiar. As the sale of a
portion of a holding is illegal without the landlord's consent, the average areas of holdings of
This class should be equal to that held by the settled raiyats. This is found to be the case in
Monghyr, but elsewhere the areas are generally less. As a matter of fact, transfers of
portions of holdings are very common and are accepted by the landlords. It is also noticeable
that there is a great difference in the rent they pay. Thus in Monghyr they pay Rs. 2-9-3
per bigha against Rs. 2-3-6 for settled raiyats. The reason is that it is only in fertile
villages that sales of holdings take place, and in such villages the rates of rent are high.
It will also be noticed that, except in Purnea district, those who purchase holdings are
generally foreigners, who do not settle in their holdings. Thus in Monghyr the majority of
the class of occupancy, but not settled, raiyats are purchasers from south of the river. In
the Bhagalpur district purchasers of holdings come from the neighbouring district of
Darbhanga, and in the Duphar pargana a large holding has been purchased by a European’
lady. It is only in the less cultivated district of Purnea that holdings are purchased with
a view to settlement :
73. When the rents paid by the different classes of raiyats are considered, it is found
that there is a tolerable uniformity. Raiyats with fixed rates naturally pay less rates than
other raiyats. Their rates are in fact less by about 50 per cent. Except in a few special
instances, settled raiyats pay less than non-occupancy raiyats. This is particularly noticeable
in the Daphar pargana, where there are special rates for new settlers. The same is the case
in the Haveli pargana of Purnea, which shows that the low rent-rates which prevail in that
part of the district are rising in consequence of the demand for land. In the Mahinagar
pargana, Malda, on the other hand, lands are being settled at reduced rates to encourage new
tenants. Resident raiyats as a rule pay lower rentals than non-resident, except in special
cases. Thus in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur, where, on account of the lowlying
character of some of the villages, there is little room for houses, non-resident raiyats receive
encouragement to take lands in such villages by the grant of lower rates. In the Haveli
pargana of Purnea the uniformity is broken by the settlement of lands at low rates with the
dependents of the estate. In the Kadwa pargana there are two raiyats who have large hold-
ings in several villages at special rates. In Tajpur and Dehat the low rates of non-residents
is due to the fact that there are several raiyats who hold large tracts of pasturage land in
several villages. Among non-occupancy raiyats it will be seen that, in several parganas, the
non-residents pay the lower rates. This is due to the fact that they are to be found in villages
where the rates are low, and not that they pay lower rates for the same classes of land. Thus
in the Farkya pargana of Monghyr a large area is held by raiyats of this class, in the village
of Rohianwa, where the rate is only 10 annas per acre. In the Sujanagar pargana the rate
of resident raiyats is raised by the payment of higher rates for homestead lands.

74. It has been explained that the chief reason for the survey was to clear up confusion
in the landlords' rent-rolls. The following were the principal
Causes of the confusion in the estates.
vode causes of the confusion:-
(1) Abatements and remissions on account of absconded raiyats, or raiyats who had died
without heirs, had not been noted in the rent-rolls. In the Daphar pargana the rent-roll
of the Srinagar estate had not been corrected for over 30 years, with the result that large
unrealizable balances were shown. Another result was that abandoned holdings were resettled
with new raiyats, while also retained in the former tenant's name, and thus appeared twice in
the rent-roll. i
Totupors were obsolete. In the will.
nection with thes of raiyats entered in. were not to me of Bishunpora Gonorent
and thus the landlords' papers were obsolete. In the village of Bishunpore Gonesham, the
patwari papers showed 86 raiyats, of whom 44 were not traceable. The landlords at first
ölaimed to have the names of raiyats entered in the records, though they had ceased to have
any connection with the village, as they feared that otherwise they would have no power
of collecting the arrears of rent from them. This led to many disputes as to the name of the
tenant to be entered.
(3) The patwari papers often did not show the true name of the cultivator. Raiyats
were entered by fictitious names. In the villages of Dharumpur and Hempur the patwari's
paper contained 54 names of fictitious or “furzi” raiyats. In one village of 196 acres the
names of 47 fictitious raiyats were found to be entered. It was found that this practice
prevailed in 38 out of 108 villages in the Khubkhand and Uttarkhand parganas. "It was
stated that the object was to distinguish between holdings held at money rental and those held
on balhasili or jaidadi tenures. It was, however, a matter of great difficulty to find out the
name of the real tenant. The same practice prevailed to a modified extent in Purnea, where
raiyats held a number of holdings under many names and discarded or retained the tenancies
as they thought fit.
(4) The rent-rolls were not checked by the landlords' agents. Thus in Belwa Sukhasan
village, 54 new tenants were discovered. In Nirmalli 300 bighas of land unassessed to rent
were found, which were entered as taufir in the patwaris' papers, but were found to be held
by raiyats.
(5) Numerous disputes as to rates existed. Many of the villages were formerly leased
out, and the lessees tried to raise the rates by the simple expedient of entering higher rates
in their rent-rolls. The rates were also in many villages raised by the lessees on the condition
that no measurement was made. The enhancements were looked upon by the raiyats as
special cesses, but the landlords treated them as real, and tried to retain them after measuring
the villages. Thus in Mysurbo the rates were raised in 1274F from Re. 1-10-6 to Re. 1-14
on the understanding that there should be no measurement. In 1278 the village was measured
and all lands held by raiyats were assessed at the higher rate, though the raiyats did not
accept the enhancement. Disputes of this character were frequent in the Khubkhand and
Uttarkhand Parganas of Bhagalpur, and in several villages of Monghyr there were instances
of disputed rates on account of illegal enhancements. The difficulty was accentuated
when the new form of rent-receipt introduced by the Tenancy Act came into force. The land-
lords then would only give receipts with tbe new rentals, and the raiyats would not accept
them until the rents were entered at the old recognized rates. In some villages in Bhagalpur,
such as the Shahpur taluka, Darhar, Agwanpur and others, there was confusion as to areas
· of holdings. The rates had been increased by a lump sum on the understanding that raiyats
should be allowed to extend their holdings without measurement. In some cases the
landlords had broken through this understanding, and had measured the villages and
assessed the newly cultivated lands. The majority of the raiyats would refuse to accept
the assessment, but a few would submit, and hence the dispute was kept alive. In cases
where no measurement was made, the enhanced rental was calculated on the area of
the old holding. When the new form of rent-receipt introduced by the Tenancy Act came
into force, a difficulty arose as to what area should be entered. The landlords wished to
enter the recorded area and the enhanced rental. The raiyats objected, as this would be
evidence of their acceptance of the higher rate. In some villages they were prepared to
measure the holdings on the condition that the old rate was preserved, but they would not
pay rent, or take the new forms of receipt if they were to show the former areas at the
enhanced rentals. Nothing was done to clear up the disputes, and thus arrears of rent

16) In nearly every village disputes arose as to the rates payable by head raiyats or
privileged tenants. There were a large number of such privileged raiyats who had rendered
services to the proprietors or lessees. The landlords' papers used to show the full village rate
against such tenants, but a deduction was made at time of payment of rent. When the new
form of rent receipt came into force, the landlords wished to show the rental at full rates on the
receipts, while the raiyats would not accept them unless they showed the special rates. In
Bhagalpur, out of 14,291 raiyats, rents were disputed in 5,075 cases. In Monghyr 8 per
cent. of the rentals were disputed.
(7) In Purnea the system of accumulative holdings was a fruitful source of confusion.
If any raiyat died without heirs, or abandoned his holding, the patwari woulil assume that his
next-of-kin took possession of it without proouring any formal agreement. The holding
would be continued in the name of the former raiyat, and certificates for arreurs of rent would
be issued in his name. It frequently happened that the new tenant did not take up the
holding, or if he did, he added it to his original holding, and then repudiated the addition of
( 54 )
rent. As there were no measurement papers or other trustworthy records of areas, it was very
difficult to decide such disputes.
(8) There was much confusion in the demarcation of village boundaries in Monghyr and
Malda. The situation of some villages, as Mahamedpur Bhelwa in Monghyr, and of a num-
ber of scattered villages in Malda, could with great difficulty be discovered. In several cases
of boundary disputes in Monghyr there was evidence that the patwaris had entered the names
of raiyats as cultivating disputed lands who could not be identified, and an instance recently
came to light in the decision of a boundary dispute between Koela and Birbhas villages,
where the papers produced by the representatives of the estates are declared by the Assistant
Settlement Officer to be forged.
75. The result of the record and settlement of rentals shows that the nominal rent-roll

has decreased from a demand of Rs. 4,88,715 to Rs. 4,88,319,
use or a decrease of Rs. 396, equal to a decrease of .09 per cent.
There has been an increase of rental in Bhagalpur and Malda and a decrease in Monghyr,
Purnea, and Darbhanga, and the decrease is a decrease in the rent-demand, and is due not
to any arbitrary reduction of rent or rates of rent, but to the settlement of disputes as to
existing rates. There has been a real increase of Rs. 23,636, that is to say, the total rental,
after striking out the disputed claims, has been increased by that sum in consequence of the
settlement. The record and settlement of rents has performed two functions : firstly, the
rent-roll has been cleared of disputes; and secondly an increase of Rs. 23,636, equal to 4.8
per cent., has been obtained. With regard to the first point, it is to be remembered that the
landlord's rent-roll was known to be in confusion, and the rent demand was never collected
in full. The object of the settlement was, as pointed out in paragraph 5, to clear up these
disputes, and not to effect an enhancement of rents. I have, in paragraph 74, noted some of
the causes of the confusion which was greatest in the Nawhatta tahsil of the Bhagulpur district.
It arose chiefly from the system of letting out villages in lease, under which the lessees
endeavoured to enhance the rates or, at least, to gain an addition to the rental during the
period of their leases. Thus in the village of Nahurwar the rent demand was Rs. 806, and
the arrears from 1878 to 1887 for the Srinagar share were Rs. 9,796, and for the Banaili
share for eight years Rs. 5,288. In 1875 a lessee had attempted to raise the rate of non-
resident raiyats from Rs. 2-4 to Rs. 2-10, and of resident raiyats from Rs. 2 to Rs. 2-7.
The raiyats never accepted the enhancement, but probably paid some increase so as to satisfy
the demands of the lessee. The village went out of lease in 1878, and the raiyats refused to
pay the enhanced rate to the proprietors. No collections were made for three years; and, as
no effort was made to settle the dispute, arrears accumulated. In the village of Nohatta the
demand for six annas share is Rs. 3,400, and the arrears in 1887 amounted to Rs. 30,000.
The proprietors claimed a uniform rate of Re. 1-13-1} per bigha, whereas a large proportion
of the raiyats, such as Brahmins, early settlers, and relations of the original proprieters,
claimed special rates, varying from Re. 1-10 to annas 8 per bigha. In the time of Raja
Lilanund Singh there was an attempt made to raise all rates to the uniform standard, but the
raiyats appealed to him, and the old condition of affairs was restored. A few years after-
wards the rent-roll was again revised, and the disputes broke out afresh. In 1876, after the
year of the famine, an attempt was made to clear up the confusion by making remissions,
which were said by the proprietors to be remissions of grace in consequence of the bad years
of 1874-75, but which the raiyats considered to be remissions of right, and an acknowledg-
ment of their claim to hold at special rates. The dispute was not cleared up, and hence there
was a large accumulation of arrears. In other villages disputes arose as to the arrears of
holdings. Thus, in Bijwar, pargana Khubkhand, Bhagalpur, the demand was Rs. 656, and
the arrears for ten years, 1877 to 1886, were Rs. 3,691 on account of the Srinagar share.
The lessees, about the year 1872, raised the rates from Re. 1-10 to Rs. 2-1, and the raiyats
accepted the enhancement on condition that no measurement was made, and that lands
brought into cultivation were not assessed. In 1878 the village went out of lease, and the
proprietors made a measurement and attempted to assess all the lands at the enhanced rates.
The raiyats disputed this arrangement, and refused to pay more than the old rate of Re. 1-10
per bigha. In some villages there were special causes of confusion. Thus, in a block of
four villages in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur, there was a dispute as to a tract of land
on which thatching-grass was grown. The raiyats accepted an enhancement of rate on
condition that they should hold portions of this land free of rent. About 20 years ago the
proprietors resumed this right, but allowed the raiyats the privilege of buying the grass at
Rs. 2-8 per bigha. In 1884 they further restricted the right, and began to sell the grass at
competition rates of Rs. 4 to Rs. 4-8 per bigha. The raiyats resented this infringement of
their privileges, and combined to revert to the old rate of Re. 1-9 per bigha, which had
been raised to Re. 1-12. In consequence, no rents were collected for three years, from 1884
to 1886. In the Monghyr district the proprietors had in some cases attempted to break the
rates by inducing the headmen to sign agreements and to bring over the rest of the raiyats to
accept an enhancement. Thus in the villages of Chattersari, Marachi and Jergaon, contain-
ing 343 raiyats, agreements to pay at a rate enhanced from Rs. 2-8 to Rs. 2-12 per bigha
were taken from two head raiyats, and an attempt was made to impose the enhanced rate
upon all the tenants. The attempt, however, failed. In Purnea the proprietors have acquired
their property in the Haveli Pargana within the last 40 years. The only rent papers are
those received from the previous proprietors, and in the case of patni villages the rent-rolls of
the superior landlords form the basis of the demand. These rentals were often disputed, and
the system of farming out the villages increased the confusion. The lessees were local men,
whose relations held lands as tenants, and who received receipts for rents at favoured rates,
( 55 )
while the rent-roll showed a higher rate. Thus, in one instance, in the village of Parora, the
rent demand of a raiyat was shown at Rs 50, whereas he had been granted receipts in full
for Rs. 14, and had in fact for a long time never paid more than this amount. In the village
of Sonsa the rent of a raiyat was shown in the rent-roll at Rs. 20, whereas he has been
granted receipts in full for Rs. 4. The first object of the settlement was to ascertain existing
rents and rates of rents. In consequence of the disputes, no collections of rent had been made
in some villages for three or four years, and the collections of 1886-87 were only 65 per cent.,
and those of 1887-88 70 per cent. of the rent demand. Existing rents were most disputed in
the Bhagalpur district, where, out of 12,500 raiyats, rents were disputed in 5,075 cases. In
Monghyr existing rents were not so much in dispute. Out of 125 villages, rents were disputed
throughout in 13 villages. In nearly every village there were disputes as to the rates of
the chief raiyats, and those who had obtained privileged rates from former lessees or from
the proprietors. The total amount of rental disputed in Monghyr was about Rs. 15,000 or
8 per cont. of the total rent demand. The disputes as to the rates of headmen of villages
were very numerous. These men were selected for their influence over the raiyats, and
were originally employed to assist in the collections. For their services they received remis-
sions of rents varying from 12 annas to 4 annas a bigha. The lessees added to the number of
these headmen by granting privileged rates to the more influential raiyatis, as rewards for
inducing the other raiyats to accept enhancements. The privileged rates, however, were
not shown in the rent-rolls, but were remitted at the time of payment of rent. Thus the
rent-rolls showed a fictitious demand which the proprietors, on resuming direct management
of the villages, attempted to realize in full. At the time of settlement such privileged rates
were not confirmed, if they were shown to have been given by temporary lessees or for special
periods; but this failure to conciliate the headmen naturally increased the opposition in the
villages. In Purnea the system of accumulative holdings and the confusion in the rent-roll,
in which one raiyat is recorded as holding numerous small tenancies under several names,
led to many disputes. There was nothing to show what lands belonged to a particular
holding in the absence of measurement papers and of any record of successions and transfers.
The raiyats often repudiated some of the rentals for which the landlords declared them
liable, and in the absence of any evidence connecting them with such rentals, such disputes
were generally decided adversely to the landlords. In the villages of Sonsa, Parora, and
Banbhag, the rent demand decreased on account of disputes by Rus. 500 out of a total rent
demand of Rs. 2,594.
76. It will thus be seen that where there has been a decrease of rent, it is due not to
any reduction of rents or rates of rent, but to the disposal of disputes as to the existing rates.
The landlord's rent demand was fictitious and contained rentals at rates which the raiyats had
never accepted. The determination of the rates was made after enquiries as to the past
histories of rates and the inspection of old accounts and rent receipts. The decisions were
generally adverse to the landlords, because it could be ascertained that at some previous
period a lower rate than that now demanded was accepted by both parties, and there was
nothing to prove that the higher rates had been accepted. That the decisions of the Settle-
ment Court were not unduly favourable to the raiyats may be seen from the fact that in the
Nohatta village, where a decrease of 22 per cent of the rent demand resulted from the
decisions of the Settlement Officer, the raiyats have appealed. Similarly, in the villages of
Aukabi, Narayanpur, and Nyanagur, the raiyats have appealed, though there has been a
reduction of rent demand amounting to 13 per cent. In two villages in paragana Nirsingpur,
in Bhagalpur, viz., Belaith and Musebri and in six villages in the Farkya pargana of
Monghyr, viz., Baletha, Daroja, Dighone, Gendharson, Mohamedpur-Bhelwa, and Puchrasi,
there were real reductions of rates. The lands of these villages have recently deteriorated
owing to the inundations of the Kosi river and its branches, and the landlords voluntarily
accepted a reduction of the rent-rate. The total reduction of rent on this account amounted
to Rs. 2,495.
77.' History of the rise of rents. For the purpose of the record and settlement of rents,
the first point is to determine the existing rents, and in cases where an application for settle-
ment of rents is made, the applicant must prove the grounds upon which any alteration of
existing rentals is sought to be obtained. The chief ground put forward for the alteration of
rents was the alteration of the areas of holdings under section 52 of the Tenancy Act. There
was thus no necessity for enquiries as to the economic basis of rates or rentals, or as to their
fairness with regard to the fertility of the soil and cost of cultivation, and, except in the
Daphar pargana of Bhagalpur, no attempt was made to fix the rents according to the classifi-
cation of the lands. The existing rents were first ascertained, and these were increased and
reduced according as grounds for such iņcrease or reduction were established. As a rule, the
rents are not high, and in no case is the average rate per bigha as high as was found in the
villages surveyed and settled in Muzaffarpur. Enquiries were made as to the increase of
rent-rates. Such increases were not found to have taken place except in the parganas of
Khubkand, Uttarkhand, Nirsingpur and Chai in Bhagulpur and in the Monghyr district.
The rates are generally uniform for all classes of lands in the village, and the following
instances may be given of their increase :-In the village of Hati, pargana Khubkhand, the
earliest known rate was Re. 1-4 per bigha. In 1860 the rate was raised to Re. 1-10, which led
to an abandonment of the lands. The rate was then reduced to Re. 1-6, but in 1878 it was
again raised to Re. 1-10, which is the present prevailing rate. In Narayanpur village the
rate about the year 1830 was Re. 1-10 per bigha In 1858 it was raised to Re. 1-13, and
about the year 1865 to Re. 1-15. In 1875 the rate was again raised to Rs 2-4-3, which is
the present prevailing rate. In Bhagwa village the earliest known rate was Re. 1-10, which
men frost point in to the rise of
( 56 )
was raised in 1857 to Re. 1-15 and again in 1868 to Rs. 2-8, the present rate. In Beergaon
village the rate up to 1865 was Rs. 2 per bigha. In that year it was raised to Rs.2-8.
The enbancement was affected by the lessees who were also mahajans of the village. In the
village of Aurea Ramouti, the rate up to 1x43 was Re. 1-4 per bigha. It was then raised
to Re. 1-10-6, and in 1871 to Rs. 2-2, the present rate. The increase of rates was obtained
by winning over the headmen of the village by the grant of privileged rates at 12 annas
less than the prevailing rate. In Asahiputtı village the rate in 1792 A.D., when the
village was purchased by the ancestors of the present proprietors, was Re. 1-4 per bigha.
About the year 1830 it was raised to Re. 1-10, and between the years 1862 to 1876 it was
raised by successive lessees to Rs. 2-4-3 per bigha. The raiyats accepted the enhanced rate
on being allowed to cultivate waste land at 6 anpas per bigha. These lands were kept
separate from the original holdings, but were afterwards incorporated on a measurement in
1882. In Paharpur village the rate was Re. 1-4 per bigha. About the year 1865 it was
raised to Re, 1-10, and in 1874 to Rs. 2-1-6, the present rate. In Ekarh village the original.
rate was Re. 1-4 per bigha. In 1853 the rate was raised to Re. 1-11-3, exclusive of the cess
of "bhatta" at one and a quarter annas in the rupee. In 1880 this cess was incorporated
with the rate, which became Re. 1-13-14 per bigha. In the village of Chativan the earliest
known rate was Re. 1-10 per bigha for ordinary raiyats and Re. 1-6 for head raiyats.
In 1865 the rate was raised to Rs. 2-1-6 on the condition that the raiyats should bring new
lands into cultivation without measurement. In 1878 the village was measured and all lands
were rated at Rs. 2-1-6 per bigha. In the Barbara village the earliest known rate was
Re. 1-9-3 per bigha. To this were added the cesses known as bhatta and khyali at the rate
of 3 annas in the rupee. The raiyats were then allowed to cultivate new lands without
measurement for a time, and the rate was raised to Rs 2-3-1) per bigha of the recorded
holding. In 1887 the village was measured and all lands were assessed at the enhanced rate.
In the village of Tellbar the earliest known rate was Re. 1-10-9, which was raised in 1870 to
Rs. 2. This appears to have led to the abandonment of lands, and the rate was in 1872
reduced to Re. 1-15. In Dumrah village the original rate was Re. 1-4 per bigha when the
village was acquired by the present proprietors in 1792. This rate was raised to Re. 1-10 per
bigha in 1843, and between the years 1853 and 1872 to Rs. 2-6. The latter enhancement
was accepted on condition that the raiyats should be allowed to take up new lands without
measurement. In 1873 the village was measured and all lands were assessed at a reduced
rate of Rs. 2 per bigha. In Bijwar the earliest known rate was Re. 1-10 per bigha. In 1852
the cesses of bhatta and khyali were consolidated with the rental, and the rate became Re. 1-13
per bigha; raiyats were allowed to take up new lands at Re. 1 per bigha. In 1863 the rate
was raised by a lessee to Rs. 2-1 per bigha, and newly cultivated lands were treated as lands
held on the halhasili tenure. The general result of enquiries as to the progress of rates in
the Bhagalpur district, with the exception of the Daphar pargana, shows that up to about the
year 1840 the rate of rent was Re. 1-4 per bigha; that from 1840 to 1860 the rate rose to
Re. 1-10 per bigha, and after 1860 it has risen to an average of Re. 1-15, or 19 per cent. It
also appears that the extent of the enhancement has varied in different villages according as
the landlords have been powerful or not. In the Monghyr district the rates of rent appear to
have risen within the last thirty years from an average of Re. 1-12 per bigha to Rs. 2-3 per
bigha, or an increase of 25 per cent. The greatest increase of rent appears in the villages
to the west of the pargana, where the rates are as high as Rs. 4-8 per bigha, the bigha being
equal to .873 of an acre. This is said to be due to the competition for land caused by the
cultivation of indigo in the neighbouring villages, where the zerat system has displaced the
raiyats. In the other parganas in which the estates are situated, there does not appear to
have been any increase of the rates of late years so far as the raiyats and the landlords could
supply information.

The average rate of rent ascertained in the Muzaffarpur settlement was Rs. 3-12 per acre,
while in the Sunkerpur estate of the Dinajpur district the rate is Re. 1-9-3 per cent." It will
be seen that the rent-rates in the estates are very moderate, and there is no sign of rack-
renting. In fact, the conditions of the estates are such that it would have been impossible
to force up rents in the the same way as has been done in Muzaffarpur. The raiyats are, as a
rule, aware of their rights, and singularly tenacious of them. They are not subject, as in
Bihar, to the attacks of numerous landlords under the system of subdivision of estates.
The effect of the lessee system in raising rents has been felt, but not to so great an extent
as in Muzaffarpur, chiefly on account of the absence of competition for land. The village
system is also in greater force in the estates than in Muzaffarpur, and the raiyats stand by
each other in resisting changes of rents. On the other hand the proprietors appear in past
years to have acted reasonably, and to have fostered good relations with their tenants, and the
name of Raja Lilanund Singh, father of the present Raja of Banaili, is held in great esteem
by the raiyats of the estate.

The circumstances of the Harawat pargina are exceptional. Only one village of 680 acres
was measured in this pargana, most of which is rice land settled at a rate of Rs. 3-12 per acre,
which is similar to the rates charged in the neighbouring Pargana of Naridigar, where the
property of the Maharaja of Darbhanga is situated. The Daphar pargana is situated on the
Nepal boundary, and has until recently been difficult of access; and having the unhealthy
climate, there has been no competition for lands. The rent-rates are consequently low and
have not been raised within living memory. The following are the rates for the different
classes of lands: --

(5) Lands in which pulses are grown (jungla)
(6) Pasturage

(7) Garden ground

(8) Groves

Of the foregoing rates the higher are only found in a few villages, and the lower rates
are the most common. The pasturage lands amount to one-seventh of the rent-paying area,
and the single-cropped and "jungla” lands (classes 3 and 5) are 45 per cent. of the cultivated
area. The result is that the average rate of rent per acre is Ķe. 1-5-3. It was formerly the
custom to levy cesses in addition to the rents amounting to 6 annas in the rupee, viz.,
punchait, 3. annas (a cess in lieu of measurement); dák cess, žanna; khyali 1 anna (a cess
on the weighment of the produce of the land); “tahreri” (a cess of anna in the rupee for
the patwari's fee); bhatta, li annas in the rupee (this cess was supposed to compensate
for the difference between Company's rupees and sikka rupees). . These cesses, with the
exception of the last, were taken off when the Tenancy Act came into force. It appears that
the raiyats by accepting these cases avoided enhancement of the rates.
79. In the Khubkhand pargana the customary rate appears to have been Re. 1-4 per
bigha up to about 1810, and from 1840 to 1860 it has been raised to Re. 1-10. The general
rate now varies from Rs. 2-4 to Re. 1-10 pėr bigha, or from Rs. 2-9 to Re. 1-14 per acre.
There is a considerable area of wasto land in this pargana, and the cultivated lands are liable
to injury from floods. There are instances of land having been abandoned when the rates
have been raised, and in the absence of competition there has been no great enhancement.
This fact is also partly due to the resistance of the raiyats. In every village there are a few
independant men of position, and instances have ocourred of attempts to enhance the rents
being successfuily fought up to the High Court. In the Uttarkhand pargana the average
rate of rent is Re. 1-8 per acre. The average rate before the settlement was Re.- 1-13
per acre. The reason for the change is that there are a number of villages where lands
were held on what is known as the hunda tenure, or consolidated rents, that is to say,
the raiyats accepted lump additions to the rental on condition that they should bring new
lands into cultivation without measurement. The rental thus became fixed or consolidated,
but the rates were shown in the landlords' papers as having increased from Re. 1-10 to
Re. 1-14 per bigha. The raiyats did not admit this increase of the rates, and looked
upon the addition of rent as a coss. When the lands were surveyed, they claimed that
the old rate should be restored as the areas for which the enhanced rents were fixed included
unmeasured lands, the extent of which had never been ascertained. It was seen that it would
be difficult to prove the extent of the increase of the areas for the purpose of an alteration of
rents under section 52 of the Tenancy Act, and a compromise was effected by which, in
several villages, all the lands were assessed at the old rates, viz., at Re. 1-10 per bigha.
Hence the general village of rent is low, although an increase of rental, amounting to
Rs. 1,859, was obtained in the pargana. In the large village of Bungaon the rate per bigha
was fixed by compromise at 12 annas. The village is inhabited by a setttlement of Brahmans,
who were formerly proprietors, and who have always held at low rates of rents. The low
rent-rate in pargana Chai is due to the sparse character of the cultivation, only 37 per cent.
of the total area being cultivated.
80. The average rate of rents in the Monghyr villages is Rs. 2-3-6 per acre, and is
thus higher than in any pargana of the Bhagalpur district There are at least three distinct
tracts in the Farkhya pargana of Monghyr: one the low-lying villages to the east, which
are liable to inundations, where the average rate is 10 annas per acre; the second tract
comprises the alluvial lands to the south, on the banks of the Ganges, where the general rate
is Rs. 2-8 per acre; and the third tract comprises the villages to the west, on the banks of the
Gunduk, where the average rate of the rent is Rs. 2-14 per acre. So far as the eastern and
Western tracts are concerned, the difference of rent is due to the superior quality of the soil
and the greater competition for land. In the westerly villages the conditions approximate
to those of Bihar. Much of the land in adjacent villages is cultivated with indigo on lands
ons as to the sout comprise Res. 2-14 Pole to the subconditions digo on
( 58 )
a for outlying ge. There are, ho rendered servicene rest of the village istance, in the
e shape of forcing the proprietors hout Re. 1-6 per big have now no spsome
held as proprietor's private lands. The area of land suitable for raiyats is reduced, and
hence there is competition for lands in villages where indigo is not cultivated. Thus in the
village of Bela Semri, the proprietors have been able, by favourable settlements, to force
up the rates in the case of new settlers to over Rs. 4 per bigha, or Rs. 4-9 per acre. These
rates are not fixed on the qualities of the soil. There are only three classes of soil in the.
village, whereas there are over forty different rates, which vary to the extent of half-anna
and bear no relation to the capabilities of the soil. The varieties of rate merely represent the
success of the proprietors in making settlements favourable to themselves with new tenants.
81. With regard to rates, it may be noted here that it is only in the Daphar pargana of
the Bhagalpur district that rates of rent are found regularly established for the classes of soil.
In the rest of Monghyr and Bhagalpur and in the Tirakhurdah and Sujanagar parganas of
Purnea, where rates of rent are recognized, there is ordinarily one rate for the whole village and
uplands and lowlands are held at this uniform rate. In some villages lands situated in one
quarter are rated specially, and in a few cases there are special rates for lands near the home-
steads and for outlying lands of poor quality, but the general practice is to have one uniform
rate for the whole village. There are, however, special rates for particular raiyats, such as
Brahmans and head raiyats, who have rendered services to the landlords, such services
generally taking the shape of forcing an enhancement on the rest of the village. In several
villages servants and dependants of the proprietors hold at special rates ; for instance, in the
village of Hempur, 22 old servants of the Raj hold at Re. 1-6 per bigha, while the village
rate is Re. 1-12-4. As a general rule it may be said that the rates have now no special
reference to the qualities of the soil. The rates originally must have been fixed on some
principle and with reference to the productiveness of the lands, but they have since been
raised capriciously where the landlords have been successful in obtaining enhancements. Such
enhancements have depended on the influence of the landlords, and not on the increased
fertility of the soil or value of the produce. This is evident from the fact that adjacent
villages have different rates, though there is no material difference in the quality of the soils.
It has not, therefore, been necessary to make any lengthy enquiries into the subject of soil-
rates and the classification of lands. The object of the enquiries has been to ascertain by
legal evidence existing rentals or rates of rental, and in order to ascertain this it was neces-
sary rather to examine documentary evidence, such as collection papers and rent receipts, than
to investigate the qualities or classes of soils.
82. The rates of rent in the different parganas of Purnea are as follows:-

... 0 10 4 ,
In the first six parganas there is no recognised system of rates. The first four parganas
are situated in the centre of the district which comprises a tract, half of which only is culti-
vated. When the villages were first settled, the amount of culturable land was still less than
at the present time. Consequently, large areas are settled with tenants at lump rentals. It is
probable that at some time there were rates for the different classes of soil, and specific lands
were settled with raiyats at those rates. The raiyats, however, added to their holdings by
taking up new lands, and all records of rates have been lost. The raiyats profess to know
nothing of them, and the proprietors have no records of any measurements or classification of
soils. The low average rate of rent is sufficiently explained by the fact that the raiyats
have added to their original holdings, and is justified by the poor quality of the soil and the
small proportion of culturable land contained in the holdings. The high rate of rent in the
Shahpur pargana is due to a recent settlement made by the Srinagår proprietors after a
partition. The average rates in the two parganas, Dehat and Tajpur, which lie on the eastern
border of the district, are higher than in the central parganas. The reason appears to be that
in the Dehat pargana the lands have long been in the possession of the present proprietors,
whereas the central parganas have only been acquired by the estates within the last 30 years,
and there is a little doubt but that the rent-rolls in these parganas have been fraudulently
prepared in the interests of such of the raiyats who are relations of the former proprietors, or
of the lessees who have held the villages from time to time. It will be noticed there is a
remarkable difference of rent-rate in the two neighbouring parganas of Tajpur and Dehat.
The Tajpur villages have only within the last 20 years been acquired under a putni lease, and
the present rents were established under the former proprietor, a zamindar of the Dinajpur
district. The average rate of rent in this pargana is the same as in the Sunkerpur estate of
the Dinajpur district. In the Dehat pargana the lands are still held by the original settlers,
and at the old rates of rents wbich, in the Goalpohur taluka, are under Re. I per acre.
83. In the Tirakhurdah pargana the prevailing rate of rent is Re. 1-4 per bigha for
cultivated lands and 3 annas per bigha for pasturage. The bigha is :676 of an acre, and
thus the average rate of rent is Re. 1-7 per acre. This rent-rate approximates closely to that
of the Daphar pargana of Bhagalpur which is similarly situated on the borders of Nipal.
There is no indication that the rates have altered since the lands were brought under cultiva-
tion. In the Sujanagar pargana the general rate of rent was annas 13-9 for a bigha of 2,500

square yards. This rate is uniform for all lands, except for homestead lands and lands on
which trees or bamboo clumps are grown. Such lands are rated at 2} annas per katha, or
Rs. 3-2 per bigha. In the latter case the land on which the trees or bamboos are growing is
not considered part of the raiyat's holding, but each tree or clump of bamboos is supposed to
represent a katha of land. The existing rate of rent has prevailed unaltered for a long time,
except that two cesses have been incorporated, one called bhatta, or compensation for the
conversion of the sikha into company's rupees, and the other called nighabani, or a fee for
protection against wild beasts which at one time were numerous in this part of the district.
84. · The average rates of rent in Malda are Re. 1-13-1 per acre in the Mahinagar
pargana, and Rs. 2-4-4 in the Bhatiya pargana. The Mahinagar Pargana is situated in a
distant part of the district. It is largely uncultivated and is subject to floods. Only 61 per
cent. of the lands are cultivated, and 67 per cent. settled with raiyats. The percentage of
non-occupancy raiyats is high. Under these circumstances a low rent-rate was to be expected.
The Bhatiya pargana is situated near the civil station of the district; and though the percent-
age of cultivated lands is low, the soil is fertile and a large area of mulberry crop is grown,
The general rate for cultivated land is Re. 1-14 per acre, but homestead lands are settled at
Rs. 3-12 per bigha or over Rs. 10 per acre, and lands near the homestead at Re. 1-12 per
bigha or Rs. 4-8 per acre. Although the area of such lands is small, these rates
sufficiently explain the comparatively high average rent-rate in the Bhatya pargana.
85. Comparison of past and settled rentals. The appended statistical statement 20E
shows the results of the record and settlement of rents, and a comparison between past and
present areas and rentals in the different parganas is made in the following table:-

From this statement it will be seen that though the areas of holdings have increased by
8, the net increase of rental has only been •11 per cent. I have in a previous paragraph
(paragraph 66) explained that, where there has been a decrease, it is chiefly due to the
exclusion of disputed rents. There is a further reason for the decrease in the fact that, in
the landlords' rent-rolls, remissions of rents have not been noted when a raiyat has abandoned
his holding, while at the same time, if the lands have been resettled with raiyats, the holding
has been shown twice, i.e., the abandoned holding is retained and the new holding is entered
in the rent-roll. The following explanations are given of the variations of the areas and
rentals in the several parganas:
In the Khubkhand and Utterkhand Parganas of the Bhagalpur district, the increase of
areas amounts to 25-9 per cent., while the increase of rental is only 3.7 per cent. In these
Parganas existing rents and rates were much disputed. The disputes were generally decided
in favour of the raiyats, and the incrcase of rent is therefore not proportionate to the increase
of area. In the Nirsingpur pargana a special reduction of rate, amounting to annas eight
per bigha, was made in the case of two villages on account of the deterioration of the lands
by Kosi floods. The decrease of rental on this account amounted to Rs. 332. In the
pargana of Bhaor, Darbhanga district, the decrease of rental is due to the exclusion of the
**T 2
(60
)
cess of bhatta at the rate of one and a quarter anna in the rupee in the village of Basdevpur.
In the Monghyr district the increase of area is small. On the other hand, there was a large
number of disputed rentals, chiefly in the case of raiyats holding at privileged rates. The
result is that, while areas have increased by 2.4 per cent., the rent demand has decreased by
4.5 per cent. There was also an actual reduction of rate in the cases of six villages whose
lands had been deteriorated by floods from the river Kosi. The reduction of rent on this.
account amounted to Rs. 2,163. In the Purnea district there were no records of measure-
ments in any of the parganas, except those of Sujanagur and Tiraklardah. The areas of
holdings were taken from old rent-rolls, and the proprietors were unable to show how they
had been ascertained. The result is that any comparison of the former areas with those
ascertained by survey is misleading. The areas in the Haveli pargana show a decrease of
11 per cent., while those of the Tajpur and Dehat parganas show increases of 25 and 30 per
cent. respectively. It is impossible to say how far these figures represent increase or reductions
of cultivation. In the six parganas of the Purnea district, where raiyats held at consolidated
rentals, viz., Haveli, Shahpur, Dharampur, Kadwa, Tajpur, and Dehat, there was a
reduction of the rent demand. The landlords' rent-rolls showed rents at higher amounts
than were actually collected, as has been explained in a preceding paragraph (paragraph 66).
In the Tirakhurdah pargana there is an increase of area of 20 per cent, and a decrease of
rental of 2.7 per cent. This is due to the fact that the rentals in the landlords' papers
include the cess of bhatta, or a cess at one anna four and a half pies in the rupee imposed
to compensate for the conversion of sikka into Company's rupees, which was struck out in
consequence of a judicial decision as to its legality. Hence, in spite of the increase of area,
there has been a reduction of rent from the former demand. In the Sujanagar pargana
there is a decrease in the areas of holdings on account of diluviation of lands by the Mahanadi
river. The raiyats did not apply for a reduction of rent on this account, perferring to
retain their claim on the lands in case they should again alluviate. In the Mahinagar
pargana of Malda, the increase of rent is not in proportion to the increase of area, as in five
villages the rates were increased by four annas in the rupee on account of the rise of prices.
The increase of rental on this account amounted to Rs. 453. A further cause of the increase
is that, in the landlords' rent-rolls, some lands of this pargana were entered in the villages of
the neighbouring pargana of Sujanagar, whereas in the settlement records they have been
entered in the villages in which they are geographically situated. This also accounts for
the decrease of areas and rentals in the Sujanagar pargana. The increase of area and rental
in Pargana Bhatiya is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that only 20 per cent. of the
total area is at present under cultivation, and that lands have, within the last iew years, been
taken up by the raiyats.
86. Šettlement of rents under section 104 (2), Bengal Tenancy Act. The comparative
table of the former and new areas aud rentals given above does not give a true idea of the
results of the settlement, because the figures for the areas and rentals in the landlords' papers
cannot be relied upon. In order to see the true result of settlement, a statement has been
prepared showing the results after the exclusion of disputed amounts of rent and after the
determination of disputed rates of rent. There was a settlement of fair rents under section
104 (2) of the Tenancy Act in 73 per cent. of the holdings, and the following statement
shows the result:-

: The result of the settlement under section 104 (2) of the Bengal Tenancy Act is that
rents have increased from Rs. 3,33,544-6-15 to Rs. 3,57,180-15-51, or an increase of
Rs. 23,636-9-4. The main portion of the increase was obtained in Monghyr, Bhagalpur, and
Malda. Thers was no increase of rentals in the Purnea district, except in the parganas of
Tirakhardah and Sujanagar. .
• In the Haveli, Shapur, Dharampur, Dehat, and Tajpur Parganas of Purnea, the
raiyats hold at consolidated rentals, and there was no evidence of the existence of rates, nor of
any previous measurement. There was thus no means of ascertaining the alteration of the
areas of holdings, nor of making a classification of the lands: existing rents were therefore
recorded.
: 87. Method of settlement. There were two methods of settlement adopted: one in the
Daphar pargana of Bhagalpur, where an entire revision of the rent-roll was made according to
the classification of the lands, and the second method for the rest of the tract under settlement,
by which rents were altered, under section 52 of the Tenanoy Act, according to the increase or
decrease of the areas of holdings. In the case of the Daphar pargana of Bhagalpur there is
a regular system of classification of lands as described in paragraph 78, and it was customary to
make periodical measurements and to adjust rentals according to the areas and classes of lands.
The classification is according to the crops grown, and thus as the quality of lands improve or
deteriorate by natural causes, as alluviation or diluviation, or by the action of the cuītivators
in bringing pasturage land under cultivation or the reverse, the rates rise or fall. The result
of the settlement of this pargana was an increase of 21 per cent in the areas of holdings, and
of 16 per cent. in rentals. No record has been kept of the areas of the different classes of soil
according to the previous classification, and that ascertained by the present survey: but it
would appear that the greater portion of the increase of rent was on account of the
extension of cultivation, and not on account of the improvement of the soil. No allow-
ance was made in this pargana for the difference in the system of measurement. The bigha
is a large one, equal to 8,100 square yards, and the average rate of rent is low. There was
no dispute as to measurements, and, therefore, it was not considered necessary to make
any allowance for the greater accuracy of the present survey. With regard to the exten-
sion of cultivation, it is known that there has been a deterioration of the fertility of
the soil, especially in the east, owing to the encroachments of the Kosi river. The new
lands brought into cultivation are necessarily inferior to the old, and thus it is found that
though the increase of area was 7,556 acres, the increase of rent was only Rs. 9,421. Thus
the average rate of the new lands is only Re. 1-3-6 per acre, against an average rent-rate
of Re. 1-5-3 per acre throughout the pargana. On the other hand, there has been a con-
siderable reduction of the higher classed lands. Thus, there was found to be a decrease of area
amounting to 1,509 acres, which corresponds to a decrease of rent of Rs. 3,067, or at the
rate of Rs. 2 per acre. It will be seen, therefore, that, as regards the fertility of the soil,
there has been an actual deterioration in this pargana. This, as said before, is almost entirely
due to the deterioration of lands by the Kosi river.
88. Disputes as to standards of measurement.-With regard to the rest of the tract in
which settlements were made, the applications were made under section 52, Bengal Tenancy
Act, for alteration of rents on account of the alteration of areas. The first difficulty was to
ascertain the standard of measurement according to which the areas of holdings had been
calculated when rents were last fixed. In the Bhagalpur district, with the exception of
the Daphar pargana, the accepted standard was 62 cubits, but the length of the cubit
was disputed. The landlord claimed the standard cubit of 18 inches, while the raiyats
asserted that the cubit consisting of a knots (or giras) was equivalent to about 20 inches.
They further claimed that the inch was the breadth of a rupee, and not that of a
Government pice. The difference in the standard amounts to about one-tenth or two
kathas in a bigha. I made local investigations, and after a judicial enquiry came to
the conclusion that the raiyats' claim was reasonable. I was, however, unwilling to
adopt any other than the standard cubit for the survey areas. Existing rents are presumed
to be fair, and therefore when no alteration of rent is sought, it matters little what is the
nominal area of the holding. When, however, the past and the present areas are to be
compared in order to ascertain for how much land the existing rent was fixed, and what is
the present area of the holdings, it is necessary to accurately determine the standard of
measurement. In the Bhagalpur district my enquiries led me to the conclusion that the cubit
used in the landlord's measurement was longer than the standard oubit, and I decided to
give an allowance of 10 per cent. in comparing the former and the survey areas of holdings.
This decision was appealed against, and the Special Judge reduced the allowance by one-half.
Thus, in the Bhagalpur district, when the survey areas of holdings were compared with
former areas, an allowance of 5 per cent. was made. In Monghyr, the landlords claimed a
standard of 6 cubits and 6 fingers, and the raiyats claimed 61 cubits, each cubit being of
20 inches. A compromise was effected by which the standard cubit of 18 inches was main-
tained, while, for the purpose of comparing former with survey areas, an allowance was made
amounting to 15 per cent. on the landlords' claim of 62 cubits. This allowance was
intended to compensate for the difference between the landlords' rough measurement and
the accuracy of the present survey. In Purnea there were disputes as to standards of
measurement in the Tirakhardah and the Sujanagur parganas. In the Tirakhardah pargana
the landlords claimed that the standard was of 6 oubits, but that each cubit was of different
length, being measured from the elbow to the tip of each figure in succession. Thus the
standard pole instead of 9 feet was 8 feet 7 inches. This point had been enquired into and

ba chthom. ment did ulting from comparlands. mat, the
determined by the Collector of the district in the course of recent partition proceedings,
and was decided in favour of the landlord's claim. In the Sujanagar pargana the landlords
claimed a standard of 4 cubits, against a standard of 5 cubits olaimed by the raiyats. The
landlords asserted that the lands were measured with a rope of 100 luggas. The rope was
alleged to be tied round the waist of a man at each end, and thus the length was reduced
to 90 luggas, and the standard was a lugga of 4 cubits. There was no proof of their claim,
and the standard was decided to be 5 cubits. In the Tajpur and Dehat parganas of Purnea,
and in the Mahinagur pargana of Malda, there were disputes as to the standard, which, how-
ever, were easily settled. In the Kotwali and Akbarabad Parganas of Malda, the dispute was
more serious. The landlords claimed a standard of 5 cubits and the raiyats a standard of 57
cubits of 22 inches. The decision of the Special Judge was based on a comparison of past
and present areas of holdings made by the Settlement Officer, and the standard of 5 cubits
has been maintained.
89. The method of settlement of excess areas was the same as that prescribed for the
Court of Wards' estates in Dinajpur. The difficulty was to ascertain what was the amount
of the excess area. It was clearly unfair to proceed on a mere comparison of the former areas
with the survey areas, for the latter were ascertained with much greater acouracy than in the
landlords' measurements. It was the duty of the landlords to prove that the raiyats had
increased their holdings by showing that they had taken up now lands. They were not in
a position to do this, and it remained to proceed on a comparison of former and survey
areas after eliminating all nominal differences resulting from different systems of measurement.
Thus, the landlord's system of measurement did not include field boundaries, whereas the
survey areas of fields did include them. The survey system was also generally more accurate.
Measurement of lands with a chain showed that there was a difference of about 1: kathas
per bigha in the areas of fields, that is to say, the measurement with a chain made the areas
of fields 15 per cent. greater than the former system of measurement with pole. Adding this
difference to the difference in the standard of measurement, I was at first prepared to allow a
concession of 29 per cent. in calculating excess areas, and to determine that there should be no
alteration of rental unless the new areas exceeded the old by 20 per cent. This would have
given an increase of rental of 12 per cent., which in the Khubkhand pargana, where settle-
ments first commenced, appeared to be as much as the raiyats could bear. Rent-rates had, it
was calculated, risen to the extent of 20 per cent. in the last 20 years, and the enhancements
had been accepted because the landlords had not made an accurate measurement of the land.
Difficulties were experienced in collecting the present rentals. There had been a considerable
extension of cultivation, but lands of inferior quality were being taken up. Under these con-
siderations I was of opinion that an increase of rental to the extent of 12 per cent. would be
as much as was equitable, and the scale of allowance in the case of excess areas was regulated
80 ds to secure this. In some cases where the circumstances of a particular village appeared
to require it, it was proposed to raise the scale of allowance, and in the other cases to lower
it. The landlords objected to the amount of the allowance as excessive, and the Special
Judge held that, as an increa e in the areas of holdings was proved by a comparison
of the survey measurements with the ricords of former measurements, there was no reason
why the whole increase (less 5 per cent. for the more accurately defined standard of measure-
ment) should not be assessed. This would have resulted in an increase of over 20 per cent.
in the rentals. The raiyats contested the decision, and denied that there was any increase
of area in their holdings. It therefore became necessary for the landlords to prove in every
case that the holding had increased. This would have greatly delayed the settlement, and
the landlords were willing, in order to bring about an amicable settlement, to grant a
concession of 10 per cent. for large holdings and 15 per cent. for holdings of less than 5
bighas. After some further discussion, the landlords agreed to offer a concession of 15 per
cent. to all raiyats. The raiyats seeing that they would get less favourable terms if they fought
the cases before the Special Judge, accepted the terms, and the settlements, so far as excess
areas were concerned, were then conducted amicably throughout the Bhagalpur parganas. The
arrangement was as follows:-If a raiyat at the last measurement held 10 bighas, and at the
present survey was found to hold 12 bighas, he would get an allowance of 15 per cent. or 3
kuthas in the bigha on the old area, i.e., 1 bigha 10 kathas were added to the old area, making
it 11 biglas 10 kathas, and the balance, viz., 10 kathas, was assessed as an excess area. No
attempt was made to alter existing rates, or to reclassify lands. The excess areas were
'assessed at the prevailing rate of the village. If there were several rates (which only
occurred in a few villages), and it could not be shown in what particular class of lands increase
had taken place, the excess areas were assessed at an arerage of the current rates. The
advantage of this system was that it determined by a mechanical process what were
excess areas, and it saved the landlords the trouble of establishing by legal evidence
the fact that areas had increased in the case of particular raiyats. The resuit was that
all small variations were left out of account, and the rentals of such raiyats only were increased
who had actually extended their holdings, or whose areas had becn under-estimated at the last
measurement. The effect in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur was that, while areas of
holdings increased by 26 per cent., rentals increased by 10.9 per cent. In Monghyr the same
system was adopted, but here the arrangement was effected on somewhat different lines. The
landlords claimed a standard pole of 6 cubits, and the raiyats claimed a pole of a little
over 6 standard cubits. A compromise was effected, by which the landlords, in the case
of the settlement of excess areas, accepted the raiyats' standard. In the record of areas
and rents the standard bigha of 61 cubits was retained, but no excess areas were taken
as was equit. In some raise the scent of the ghold

cent. This made the allowance 15 per cent. in the bigha caloulated aocording to the
standard claimed by the landlords. The allowance was calculated the same way as in
Bhagalpur, and the result of the settlement was that (omitting the villages in which rates
were reduced by the landlords on account of the deterioration of lands) areas showed an
increase of 7 per cent, and rents an increase of 4 per cent. It may be said generally that the
result of this system of settlement was that the increase of rental was only half the increase
of the area. This result is justified by the faot that the new lands taken into cultivation are
of poorer quality than those which first formed the holdings.
90. În the Purnea district a small area only was settled in the Haveli, Shahpur, and
the Kadwa parganas. In the Haveli pargana the increase of area is given as 29 per cent. in
the few villages where applications for settlements were made. The landlords, however,
could not show how the previous areas for which rents were payable were ascertained; the only
proof which they had were the entry of the areas in the rent receipts given to the raiyats.
It was urged that the raiyats by taking the rent receipts had acknowledged the accuracy of the
areas. This method of proof was not accepted either by the Settlement Officer or by the Special
Judge, and an increase of rental was allowed only in the case of 18 raiyats in the village of
Sarounchia, who accepted a compromise. In the Shabpur pargana there is an increase of
area and a decrease of rent. This is due to the fact that the landlords were unable to prove
that the increase of area was due to a real alteration of the holdings, while the raiyats in some
cases proved that their lands had been taken up for the railway, In the Tirakhurd h pargana
of Purnea an allowance of 1} kathas per bigha was given after testing former areas with
present measurements. It was found that this represented the actual difference between
measurement by pole (inclusive of field boundaries) and measurement by a chain excluding the
boundaries. In this pargana the areas of holdings showed a large increase of 26 per cent.,
which was probably due to the adoption of a standard pole of 8 feet 7 inches instead of a
standard of 6 cubits or 9 feet. In order, therefore, to prevent an excessive increase, the
percentage of allowance was calculated on the survey area and not on the former area.
In the Sujanagar pargana of the Purnea district rents were settled in one-fifth of the
holdings, applications only being made where any increase of area appeared. The holdings
which were brought under settlement show a decrease, while there is a slight increase in the
settled rent. This is due to the fact that the Settlement Officer of his own motion proceeded
to the settlement of rents in some cases where the holding showed a decrease. In such cases,
however, the raiyats whose lands had been diluviated by the Mahanadi river preferred to have
their rentals unaltered, so as to retain a claim on the lands if they should be re-formed, and in
the absence of proof as to the alteration of the areas, existing rents were settled as fair. In cases
where increases of areas were found, the raiyats accepting an increase of rental after a deduc-
tion of 2 kathas per bigha. A similar allowance. was made in the case of the settlements in the
district of Malda.
91. It will be seen from the table given above, which shows the percentage of increase
and decrease of areas and rentals, that there is considerable variation in the different parganas,
which is due to special causes, and is to be explained in the following manner. In the Daphar
pargana areas show an increase of 21 per cent., and rentals and increase of 16 per cent. It has
already been explained that in this pargana no allowance was given for the difference in the
standard of measurement for the reason that rentals show a low average incidence per acre,
viz., Re. 1-5-3, and the raiyats have been relieved of a number of cases amounting to 6 annas
in the rupee. The method of settlement was to adjust the rentals aocording to the current
rates, and according to the classification and areas of lands found by survey. This was the
custom of the pargana, and the method was accepted by the parties. The result is that the
increase of rental is higher in this pargana than elsewhere. But the general incidence of rental
per acre remains the same after settlement as it was before. In the parganas of Khubkhand and
Chai, the proportion of increase of rent to increase of area is almost the same as in the neigh-
bouring parganas of Uttarkhand and Nirsingpur; the increase of rent is much less than the in-
crease of area. The explanation in the case of the Uttarkhand pargana is that there were twelve
villages held on the “hunda” or consolidated rent system in which the raiyats had accepted a
lump addition to the rate on condition of being allowed to take up new lands without measure-
ment. Thus a raiyat who held 10 bighas at Re. 1-10, or a rental of Rs. 16-4, had accepted an
increase of 4 annas per bigha, making his rental Rs. 18-12. He would then take up 4 bighas
of land without payment of rent, and at the time of survey would be found to hold 14 bighas,
while his rate would be recorded as Re. 1-14 per bigha, If his holding were assessed at:
Re. 1-14 per bigha, his rental would be Rs. 26-4, which would be obviously unfair in consider-
ation of the fact that he had agreed to the enhancement of rate, on condition that his holding
should not be measured. In such cases the only fair arrangement was to return to the
firmer prevailing rate of Re. 1-10, which would bring his rental to Rs. 22-12 per 14 bighas.
Thus, while the area showed an increase of Rs. 40 per cent., the rental was increased by 8.5
per cent. This method of settlement was adopted in several villages, and thus the relative
percentage of increase of area and rental is not the same as in the Khubkbund pargana, where
such conditions did not prevail, except in 10 out of 81 vi lages. In the Nirsingpur Pargana
the percentage of increase of area is 10 per cent., and of increase of rent 2 per cent. This is
due to the reduction of rates with the consent of the landlords in two villages, Belaith and
Musehri, in which lands had deteriorated by floods from the Kosi river. The reduction was at
the rate of 8 annas per biglia. In the Monghyr district the percentage of increase of area is 5.5
per cent., while that of rent is 18 per cent. This is due to the reduction of rate in the villages

one of tication event accept Bu
istom of the parenting her in this pargant is it was before.
( 64
)
of Baletha and Pachrasi owing to the deterioration of lands by the Rosi floods. If it were not
for this reduction, the increase of rental would be 2:5 per cent., or almost the same relative
increase to the increase of areas as in other parganas. In the Haveli pargana of Purnea
exsting rents were settled as fair, as no reccrds of previous measurement were forthcoming,
and there was, therefore, no legal ground for the alteration of rents in spite of the apparent
increase of area. In the Shahpur pargana the same remark applies, but a few raiyats proved
that their lands had been taken up by the railway, and they received proportionate reduction
of rental. In the Sujanagar pargana of Purnea it has already been explained that applications
were made for settlement of rents by the landlords in those cases only where increases of areas
were found. In a number of cases where areas of holdings showed a decrease, the Settlement
Officer of his own motion instituted cases for settlement of fair rents. It was found that the
decrease of area was due to diluviation by the Mahanadi river, but the raiyats, not wishing to
lose the right over their lands in case they should again alluviate, refrained from producing any
proof of reduction of area, and the existing rents were settled as fair. Hence, although
there has been a net decrease of area, there has been a slight increase of rent in the case of
those raiyats whose rentals were settled on the application of the landlords. Iu the Tira-
khurdah pargana, as has been already explained, the allowance on account of the different
systems of measurement was made by a deduction of lkathas per bigha calculated on the
new areas, and not on the old as in the case of other parganas. This was done in exercise of
the powers given in section 52 (3) of the Tenancy Act, in order to prevent an increase of
rental which appeared inequitable. In the Mahinagar pargaua of Malda, the increase of area
is 19 per cent. and rental 20 per cent. The increase of rental is due not only to assessment
of excess areas, but villages on the ground of rise of prices The enhancement of rate
amounts to 4 annas per bigha of rice land.
92. Cesses. The greater number of illegal cesses were excluded by the landlords from
the reut-rolls when the Bengal Tenancy Act was introduced, and the only cess which remained
was that of "bhatta ”levied at one anna four-and-a-lialf pies in the rupee as compensation for
the conversion of sikka into Company's rupees. This was found iu the Daphar pargana of
Bhagalpur, in the village of Basdeopur, Darbhanga, and in the Tirakhurdah pargana of
Purnea. The cess had been regularly paid, but I considered it an illegal cess and did not
include it with the rental The proprietors appealed, and in the case of Daphar pargana the
Special Judge of Bhagalpur decided that the cess was legally recoverable as rent. In the
case of the Tirak hurdab pargana of Purnea, the Special Judge decided the cess to be illegal.
In the former case the whole of the cess was not imposed, as the landlords, in consideration of
the increase of rental obtained in the pargana, were willing to forego half on condition that
the liability of the raiyats to pay the whole of it was made apparent on the records. This was
done by entering the whole amount of the cess in addition to he rental, and then deducting
half the amount so as to show. clearly how much rent and cess each tenant has to pay. The
cess is a favourite one with the landlords, and is found in many parganas, but so incorporated
with the rental and acknowledged by the raiyats that there was no question as to its legality.
It is found in several cases in the Bhagalpur district, and accounts for such rates as
Re. 1-13-15 and Rs. 2-4-3 per bigha. It is also found in the Sujanagar pargana of Purnea
and in the Malda district, where the rates are Re. 0-13-9 and Re. 0-10-9 per bigha. In
these cases the cess is acknowledged as part of the rate, and there was no reason for interfering
with it.
In the Bhagalpur district and in the Tirakhurdah pargana of Puinea lands used for rice
seedlings are by custom exempt from rent. In the former district these lands were ascertained
and exempted. In Purnea, an exemption of rent of half a katha in the bigha of all rice lands
was given.

The landlords were the plaintiffs in 1,261 cases and the defendants in 1,074. There were
517 cases in which the landlords were not interested, both plaintiffs and defendants being
raiyats. Of the 2,335 cases in which the landlords were engaged, 1,905 came to trial, and in
430 cases the plaints were rejected or dismissed for non-appearance of the plaintiff, or were
withdrawn. The number of cases in which the landlords were engaged, and wh ch were

Of the objection suits as to existing rents, the landlords won 535 and lost 611. Many of
these cases included a large number of raiyats, as the dispute was as to the rate of rent of a
village. The disputes in which the raiyats alone were concerned were regarding the occupa-
tion of lands.
Of the suits for settlement of fair rents, 627 were brought by the landlords and five by
the raiyats. Of these, 84 were withdrawn, and three dismissed on default. Sixty-eight were
compromised or decided on the admission of the defendants without recording evidence. Of
the remaining cases, 473 were decided in favour of the landlords, and four in favour of the
tenants. Tables are appended (Appendix C) showing the result of the trial of civil suits.
The disposal of these suit: caused considerable delay in the work, as the parties were seldom
ready for trial on the date fixed. They would then for the first time appoint a pleader if the
case were tried at head-quarters, and postponements had to be given to procure evidence and
the attendance of witnesses.
98. The number of objection petitions was 20.777, the largest proportion of which, viz.,
11,346, were filed in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur. In the village of Bangaon,
containing 1,132 raiyats, there were over 900 petitions of objection. The Assistant Settle-
ment Officer, Babu Barhandeo Narayan, was camped in this pargana continuously for
eighteen months, and every effort was made to make the records correot. The total number
of petitions of objection filed is about one-third of the number of tenants on the estate and .9
per cent. of the total number of entries.
The 368 boundary disputes are distributed over 675 villages as follows:-

The largest number of boundary disputes in proportion to the number of villages was in
the Monghyr district. This pargana was formerly waste to a great extent, and, at the time
of the revenue survey, was intersected by numerous water-courses and branches of the Ganges,
Teljuga, and Gandak rivers. When villages were divided by a stream, the revenue survey
did not accurately define to which of them the river had appertained. The rivers have now
silted up, and the lands are under cultivation. Serious disputes, therefore, arose as to posses-
sion. In one case the existence of a whole village of about 500 acres was in dispute. The
dispute arose principally on the ground that the records of the revenue survey did not contain
a map of the village. As a matter of fact, this was an aocidental omission, as was seen from
comparing the maps of adjacent villages. In many cases border lands of jungle were claimed
by neighbouring proprietors, and the disputes often extended to hundreds of acres. Each
party would enter these lands on their rent-rolls, and produce a number of witnesses to prove
possession. The cases were tried under the Bengal Survey Aot, and were decided according
to possession where possible, or according to the line of boundary laid down by the revenue
survey, which was shown on the cadastral map forwarded to the Settlement Office by the
Survey Department.

the Special Judge, appeals were preferred in 12 per cent. of the contested cases, and the deci-
sions of the lower courts were upheld in 51.6 of the cases.
100. Ascertainment of arrears.-One object of the settlement was to enable the arrears
demand to be cleared up. When the estate was taken over by the Court of Wards, the
(
)
66
arrears were nearly 15 lakhs. In the year 1884-85, 10 lakhs were remitted, leaving arrears
of 51 lakhs. Owing to the poor collections of the years 1886–89, the arrears again acoumu-
lated till they amounted to 85 lakhs. The arrears are due to several causes, such as death or
abandonment of holdings, disputes as to rents, and irrecoverable balances owing to limitation.
The latter class of arrears was the most numerous.
During the progress of the settlement, statements of the arrears of each village bave
been compared with the settlement records, and the remissions, which it was proposed to make
on account of the decease of raiyats without heirs, or abandonment of holdings, or in accord-
ance with the decisions of the Settlement Officer as to disputed rentals, have been checked.
It was not possible for the Settlement Office to make out complete statements of the arrears
of each raiyat, as the greater portion of such arrears were on account of limitation, regarding
which it has no information.
The following remissions have been made since the commencement of the settlement
operation:

The balance of arrears is Rs. 4,54,388 against a total of Rs.57,42,645, at the close of the
year 1887-88, when the settlement proceedings commenced. Collections of rents have during
the last two years been made in accordance with the decisions of the Settlement Department
in the case of disputed rentals. The result has been that, while in the three years preceding
1889-90, when the settlement records came into force, the collections only averaged 76 per
cent. of the demand, they were 112 per cent. in 1889-90 and 115 per cent. in 1890-91.
101. Maintenance of records.--In order to train the patwaris of the estates in the work
of survey, classes were opened at the tahsil office of the Daphar pargana and at Nohutta in
Bhagalpur, at Monghyr and at Purnea. Out of 151 patwaris of the Srinagar estate, 48
received certificates of proficiency, and the majority of the others were partially trained. The
Superintendent of the Survey Party reported that, though only a small proportion of the
patwaris of the estate received sufficient training to be provided with certificates, yet most of
them took an intelligent interest in the work while in progress, and the greater number are, in
his opinion, quite capable of making corrections and additions to the maps, although unable to
make complete original surveys of whole villages. Since the settlement has been in progress,
the number of patwaris on the Court of Wards' estate has been reduced by 47. There are now
104 patwaris, of whom 48 have received certificates, and the rest have been partially trained.
This makes a provision of one patwari to every 64 square miles, in which the estate owns a
half-share. In addition to the patwaris, the manager has appointed a staff of 15 officers who
have been selected from employés of the Survey Department, and whose duty is to supervise
the patwaris, and to check the records and maps. Each of the proprietors has been supplied
with copies of the village maps, and with complete copies of the records, viz., khasra,
khatians, and terijes. A set of rules have been drawn up and issued by the Board of
Revenue for the maintenance of the records, and there should be no difficulty in carrying out
the work if the rules are observed.
102. Attitude of the parties.-The attitude of the landlords and tenants towards the
survey and settlement was varied. At first there was considerable opposition from both sides.
The local agents of the estates gave little help, and the raiyats were naturally afraid of the
proceedings. Matters improved when the present manager was appointed, but a great deal
had of necessity to be left to the inferior agents, who often appeared unreasonable in their
claims and disposed to press demands which they were unable to prove. The fact that the
landlords only gained decrees in 59 per cent. of the contested cases shows that the claims of
the landlords were in many cases unreasonable. The raiyats, as a rule, showed no disposition
to hold aloof from the proceedings. They readily came to the Settlement Officer's camp to
have the entries explained, and appeared to take great pains to have their records correctly
prepared. The large number of objections filed is a proof of the interest taken in the pro-
ceedings. The Collector of Bhagalpur, who is responsible for the Court of Wards' estate, has
throughout the operations rendered me much assistance. The only instance of organized
opposition has occurred in the Akbarabad pargana of the Malda district where the proceedings
are still delayed in consequence of the refusal of the raiyats to have the entries in the records
tested. The dispute arose over the standard of measurement, and when this was judicially
decided after an appeal to the Special Judge, the raiyats still held aloof, and claimed that all
should be recorded without proof as raiyats at fixed rents. It has been pointed out to them
that if they can prove such rights, they will be registered, but few of them are able to do so,
and hence they have adopted an attitude of sullen opposition. Measures are being taken by
the officer left in charge of the operations to complete the records of the area in dispute, which
consists of 22 villages and about 12 square miles.
103. Value of the settlement. The value of the settlement is not to be tested by the
increase of rent obtained. This increase is small, amounting to 4:7 of the ascertained rent
demand. It gives a return of a little over 7 per cent. on the outlay. The object of the
( 67 )
settlement was, however, not to enhance rents, but to clear up the confusion in the rent-roll,
and to enable the rent to be punctually collected. The effect of the decision of disputes as to
rents may be judged by the fact that in 1886-87 the rent collections of the Srinagar estate
were only 63 per cent. of the demand, whereas in 1889-90 112 per cent. of the demand, and in
1890-91 125 per cent. was collected. Apart from the adjustment of the rent demand, the
records will enable the estates to prevent unauthorized encroachments and additions to hold-
ings. This result will be especially valuable in the Purnea district, where, in the absence of
any records or measurement papers, the raiyats had taken possession of large areas without
payment of rent, and in many cases had converted lands into rent-free tenures supported by
deeds of sale and other documents, which the landlords were unable to disprove. In future,
the proprietors will be in a position to prevent any further accretions to such rent-free tenures
as now exist.
104. * Cost of the settlement.--The total cost incurred by the Settlement Department up
to the end of May 1891 is Rs. 1,71,495-13-2. Of this amount, Rs. 11,800 are the cost of the
survey of the Daphar pargana carried out by the Settlement Department as described in para-
graph 10, and Rs. 2,194-2 are the cost of making copies of judgments, &c., which, in accord-
ance with your orders, are not debitable to the estates. There are also other deductions, viz.,
Rs. 466-2-6, the cost of settling two villages in the Muzaffarpur district, which work was
carried out by Babu Barhamdeo Narayan during the course of the present settlement. There
are also miscellaneous receipts amounting to Rs. 470-3. The total expenditure incurred by
the Settlement Department is therefore Rs. 1,56,565-5-8, of which the following are the
details :

It is estimated that the settlement operations will be concluded at a cost of an additional
sum of Rs. 5,500, and then the total expenditure on settlement will be Rs. 1,62,000, or at the
rate of 5 annas 8 pies per acre for an area of 686 square miles which came under settlement.
105. Total cost of survey and settlement. The total cost of the operations will then be as
follows:

Total

Cost of settlement

Total
2,94,328
The cost amounts to apnas 10-6 on the total area surveyed, or annas 11-6 on the area
settled. The area which was surveyed, but excluded from settlement on account of boundary
disputes, ought to be taken into calculation when considering the costs of the settlement, for
it involved the trial of many intricate cases and caused great expenditure of time and money.
The estimated cost of the survey and settlement was Rs. 2,52,000, and it was hoped that the
work would be completed by the end of September 1890.' I have already, in pargraph 9,
For final cost see the statements submitted with the Babu Barhamdeo Narayan's report No. 448, dated 26th March 1892,
annexed to this report.

.explained the cause of the high cost of survey.' The following are among the causes which
rendered the settlement expensive and have delayed its completion :--
(1) The scattered character of the estates which extend over five districts and an area
of about 12,000 square miles, and hence there were delays and expense in
moving from one part of the estate to another:
(2) Disputes as to the standards of measurement, which delayed the work in almost
all the parganas, and rendered it necessary to convert the areas extracted
by the Survey Department in one-sixth of the total area. It was not
possible to settle these disputes before the survey, as they arose in one district
while the Settlement Officers were engaged in another.
(3) The number of disputes as to existing rents, especially in the Bhagalpur and
Monghyr districts, and the difficulty in deciding on the principle on which
excess lands were to be assessed. The latter difficulty caused a delay of four
months in commencing settlements in Bhagalpur.
(4) The large number of objection petitions filed, viz., over 20,000, and the number
of boundary disputes and objection suits under section 106 of the Tenancy
Act. The disposal of these disputes delayed the completion of the records and
rendered it difficult to get the final copies correct. When they had been
copied, it was necessary to carefully check them, and the Settlement Officers
personally compared the greater number of objections and suits with the records,
so as to see that all the orders had been carried out.
(5) The necessity of making a fresh copy of the records for the proprietors. It had
been arranged that the copy made for publication of the draft records should
after application be revised, and should then be one of the copies to be given
to the landlords. It was found, however, that in many records so many
alterations in the draft had to be made that it was thought advisable to pre-
pare a new copy for the proprietors.
(6) The completion of the settlement has been delayed by the remand during 1890
of 14 boundary disputes for retrial. Local investigations were necessary,
and they could not be made until January of the present year, as the lands
were under water. In Malda an application was made by the proprietors in
the last cold weather to have certain lands in the Kotwali pargana measured.
It had been arranged that, as the lands were scattered and of small extent,
they should be omitted by the Survey Department. It was, however, after-
wards decided that they should be surveyed, and the work of settlement of
the villages to which the scattered lands belonged were accordingly delayed.
I have, in the second paragraph of this report, explained the causes of the
delay in the completion of the settlement in the Akbarabad pargana of the
Malda district.
106. Realization of costs.—Under the orders of Government (letter of the Government
of Bengal to the Board of Revenue, No. 1126 - 442L.R., dated the 25th March 1890), it was
decided that the raiyats should pay two annas an acre on the area of their holdings, and that
the landlords should pay the balance of the costs according to their several interests. As the
operations are not yet concluded, it is not possible to state the exact sum for which the parties
will be liable, but the following figures are approximate :-
Rs. A.
Amount payable by the Banaili Raj estate ...
99,614 8
Amount payable by the Srinagar Ward's estate
1,40,419 8
Amount payable by the co-sharers in estate tauzi Nos.
3555 and 3556 of Bhagalpur (see Appendix B)
1,245 8
Amount payable by raiyats and tenure-holders
53,048 8
Total
... 2,94,328 0
With regard to the recovery of the costs, the amount deposited by the estates up to date
is as follows:-
• Rs.
Banaili Estate
1,03,000
Srinagar Ward's estate ...
... 1,25,052
Total ... 2,28,052
The Collector of Bhagalpur has been addressed regarding the recovery of the additional
amount required from the Court of Wards' estates. The return from the increase of rents
will give the Wards' estate a profit of 10 per cent. on the outlay, and the Banaili estate a
profit of 7.4 per cent. The difference is due to the fact that the Srinagar estate owns solely
the Tirakhurdah pargana, in which an increase of Rs. 2,570 was obtained, in which the
Banaili estate does not share. With regard to the costs payable by the raiyats, the orders of
Government were not received until the copies of the khatians had been distributed to the
(69)
raiyats in the greater part of the Bhagalpur and Monghyr districts. It was accordingly
arranged that the landlords should themselves collect the costs from the raiyats in those
districts at the time of the collection of rents, while the Settlement Department should
endeavour to collect the costs in Purnea and Malda at the time of the distribution of the
khatians. Collections were accordingly made at the time of final publication, amounting to
Rs. 5,302-11-8, out of Rs. 11,732 leviable. The raiyats of the Sujanangar, Dehat and
Tajpur Parganas paid 90 per cent. of the demand, but in other parganas time was asked
for to enable the amount to be paid after the cold-weather crops had been harvested. The
undistributed records were made over to the officers of the Srinagar Wards' estates for
collection of the costs through the patwaris. In Malda Rs. 773 were collected out of
Rs. 1,030 leviable.
107. Officers in charge of the settlement.--I took wharge of the Settlement Department in
November 1887, and have since been engaged on the work with the exception of the
following periods:-
(1) From 1st May 1888 to 15th November 1888, when I was on deputation.
(2) From 1st August 1889 to 25th November 1889 when I was on special
duty.
(3) From the 5th March 1890 to 5th June, and from 15th July to the 8th November
1890, when I officiated as Collector of Purnea, but retained charge of the
settlement operations.
Babu Barhamdeo Narayan has been employed throughout the operations, except for three
months in 1889, when he was absent on sick leave. He was in camp in the Nawhatta tahsil
of Bhagalpur from the beginning of 1888 to June 1889, and was engaged in the disposal of
objection cases in Monghyr. He also completed the records of the Dehat and Tajpur
parganas of Purnea.
Mr. D. N. Roy was employed from the beginning of 1887 to the end of 1889. He
assisted in carrying out the survey and settlement of the Daphar pargana, and in the
preparation of the records of the Monghyr villages. During the cold weather of 1889-90,
Babu Joga Dass Bhattacharjya was engaged in the disposal of objection suits in the Nawhatta
cirole.
Babu Bepin Behari De was appointed in November 1889 to dispose of objection suits in
Purnea, and in March 1890 took up the settlement of the Malda villages, where he was
employed until January 1891.
Mr. D. N, Mukherjee and Mr. D. Dutta were appointed to learn the work of settlement,
the former in January 1890 and the latter in May 1890, and remained until the beginning
of July 1890.

The rates in this pargana
are various, and the
difference in the rate of
rent of various classes of

the excess areas in many
cases remaining unassessed
with the consent of both
parties.

The general rate of rent in
this pargana is 13 annas per
bigha, but there was no
application for settlement
of rent of excess area in
several villages, and in
some the rate of rent for
excess area was reduced by
the Appellate Court, hence
the average has become
less.

Reg. No. 698, Bengal, Rev.-Jan. 95-100.

( 213 )
Dated Caloutta, the 15th February 1894.
From--M, FINUCANE, Esq., on special duty,
To-The Secretary to the Government of Bengal, Revenue Department.
WITH reference to your No. 603L.R., dated the 3rd February 1894, I have
the honour to submit a note, dated the 14th instant, on the maintenance of the
records in the Srinagar-Baneli estates, and, as suggested in paragraph 13, would
recommend that Babu Barham Deo Narain be posted to Bhagalpur instead of
Bankipore on termination of the special duty on which he has hitherto been
employed.
( 214
)
8th February 1894,--Arrived at Bhagalpur on the night of the 8th February.
9th to 12th February 1894.-Saw Babu Wooma Charan Bose, Manager of the Baneli
Raj, with Babu Barham Deo Narain in the Bhagalpur Col-
Arrangements made in the Srinagar- . lector's office. The manager of the Srinagar estate, Babu

tions,
Bishun Chand, was not present, having gone to Allahabad
with the mother of the proprietors of that estate. Babu
Wooma Charan Bose, Manager of the Baneli estate, informs me that he is endeavouring to
keep up registers of mutation in the form annexed :-

One register only is kept up to the present time for one circle (Gogri).
2. I saw and examined this register. The circle contains 126 villages with an area of
198 square miles, 15,602 raiyats, and a rental. of Rs. 1,81,507. In the year 1298F.S., there
were only 76 mutations registered,. in 1299F.S, 62 mutations, and 122 in 1300F.S. All
these mutations related, the manager informs me, to the transfers by sale of whole holdings or
parts of holdings. Transfers by succession are not registered, the names of the original
jotedars being allowed to remain on the records. The manager says as long as the rent is paid
zamindars do not concern themselves about the names of tenants who have succeeded by
inheritance, nor do proprietors care about having all the facts relating to holdings correctly
recorded up to date as long as they receive the rent from somebody. It is only when going
into court to sue for arrears of rent that the landlords need ascertain the correct state of
things up to date of suing.
3. The estate does not keep up a separate establishment for the purpose of finding out
on the ground what changes have taken place by succession, by sale, abandonment of hold-
ings, or otherwise, but waits till application for mutation is made to the sub-manager by
transferees, who produce kewalas or deeds of sale in proof of the fact of transfer.
In case the sub-manager is doubtful whether the transfer is bonâ fido, he sends for the
patwari and makes enquiries; but ordinarily registers the transfer on payment of the fee
demanded, if the transferee agrees to pay up all arrears of rent due from the land. There is
no fixed rule as to the amount of mutation fee realized in these cases. On examining the
registers I find that fees were realized generally at the rate of 8 annas a bigha, but in some
instances the fees were remitted. The registers for 1298 and 1299 are incomplete.
In 1299 the area registered as transferred was 240 bighas, and the amount of fees
realized Rs. 83.
In 1300F.S. the area registered as transferred was 657 bighas with a jama of Rs. 1,381,
and the amount of fees realized was Rs. 204.
4. No attempt has been made to keep the maps corrected

up to date.
It is apparently hopeless to expect any joint action towards maintaining the records on
the part of the Srinagar and Baneli estates. It is now proposed to make a partition of these
estates on the basis of the settlement records.
If any real attempt is to be made to keep up the records, it must be made by the Baneli
estate under the management of Babu Wooma Charan Bose, Manager of Baneli, who is a
Deputy Collector. I pointed out to this gentleman that no real attempt is being made to
maintain the records and correct the maps, and asked what he would suggest. Ho said he
agreed that no effective attempt is being niade to keep up the records; that he personally is of
opinion that it would be to the interest of the estate to have them kept up; but added that,
unless a special and trained establishment is appointed for the purpose, and unless some legal
force is attached to the mutation entries to be made from year to year, he does not see how
the records and maps are to be kept corrected. He thinks that the Baneli Raj would not be
willing to increase the present establishment in order to have the records kept up to date.

More might be done, however, with the present establishment than has hitherto been
done. The manager has now altogether bight men on his

such as enquiries relating to civil suits in parts of the estate
which have not been brought under settlement,
5. In an estate of this kind where the proprietors are not working together for their
common good, and are unwilling to employ the special establishment requisite for mainten-
ance of the records, I despair of being able to suggest any plan of maintaining the records by
them or by an agenoy under their exclusive control, and would only look to the operation of
the proposed law for the maintenance of land records to effect anything like adequate arrange-
ments for the maintenance of the records.
6. Meanwhile I have suggested to the Manager of the Baneli estate that if a copy of
the khasra and khatian relating to his village is given to each

On receipt of this report one of the amins at present emploged might go on the spot
and enquire whether the change reported had taken place; if so, the necessary alteration
might be made in the khatians in the tahsil office under the sub-manager's order or supple-
mentary khatians might be prepared under his directions. This, and the recording of muta-
tions as at present reported by the purchasers, might enable the sub-manager to obtain some-
thing like a correct record of the existing state of things. All attempts to prepare crop
statements by the present establishment must be abandoned.
7. The scheme suggested is of course extremely imperfect, and all that can be said for
it is that it is better than the practical abandonment of all attempts to maintain the records.
Babu Wnoma Charn Bose says he can have these suggestions carried out so long as he is
manager, and has no objection to reporting to the Collector for merely statistical purposes the
number of mutations and area transferred by sale, successions, or otherwise.
8. It is to be observed that in the year 1300F.S., when the registration was best, the
Remarks on changes recorded.
number of mutations registered of whole holdings or parts
of holdings was 122 out of 15,602 holdings, or less than one
per cent, and that though the fee realized was generally levied at the very high rate of 8
annas per bigha, the total amount realized was only Rs. 204. These figures are of some
importance as indicating what might be expected from the proceeds of fees, by voluntary
registration of transfers of holdings by sale, under the scheme proposed for the maintenance
of the records in Bihar.. Taking the Muzaffarpur district with an area of 3,000 square miles
(say 15 times as large as the Gogri circle), and assuming that transfers were to be registered
voluntarily on the same scale and at the same rate as they are now being registered in Gogri,
the total amount of the fees that might be expected is about Rs. 3,000 per annum. This
sum would be realized for registration of transfers by sale. Transfers by succession are not,
as already remarked, registered in Gogri at all, and are not, I fear, likely to be registered
elsewhere as long as the landlord is willing to accept rent from the successors of deceased
tenants, unless an establishment is appointed whose duty it would be to go on the spot and
find out what changes have actually taken, place, whether by inheritance, sale, new settle-
ments, or otherwise.
9. I am afraid: nothing can be now done to keep the maps corrected. Efforts were
made to get the patwaris trained in surveying, but without success. The proprietors are not
willing to employ a special establishment of amins for the purpose. The result is that
the maps must remain as they are until a Bill for the maintenance of the records is
passed.
( 216

10. Correction of the records by Babu Barham Deo Narain.-Babu Barham Deo Narain
informs me that he has now completed the correction of the settlement records. There were
altogether 2,222 mistakes, classified as follows:
(1) Mistakes made by the patwaris or Raj officers in stating
former rent or area

The Deputy Collector has made the necessary corrections in the Collector's copy of the
khatians and in the landlord's copies, and also in the raiyat’s parchas whenever the latter
produced their copies for correction, but many of the raiyats did not produce their parchas.
In cases in which the raiyats did not produce their parchas for correction, the Deputy Collec-
tor has noted in the Collector's copy that the copy of the khatian in possession of the raiyat
is incorrect to the extent mentioned in the order of correction.
11. The procedure adopted by Babu Barham Deo Narain for correction of mistakes was
as follows:- When he received objection to the entries made in the records from either land-
lord or tenant, he got a report from the office as to whether the alleged mistake appeared to
exist, then he issued notice to the opposite party calling on him to attend on a specified date.
and where he found a mistake of caloulation or copying, he made the necessary corrections
in presence of both parties when they attended, or in the presence of the party who did
attend.
His final report is now ready for submission.
I examined some of the records; the corrections have been made in red ink and are
signed by the Deputy Collector.

On the other hand, the Baneli Raj has paid Rs. 11,028-12-4 more than its share.
The Board in their No. 332A., dated 6th November 1890, sanctioned the entertainment
of an establishment by Mr. Rickets, the late Wards' Manager of the Baneli estate, for preparing
lists showing the names of tenants and amounts due from them, and for realizing these
amounts Mr. Rickets had these lists prepared and collected Rs. 6,261-7-1 from the tenants
before the estate passed out of the hands of the Court of Wards; but instead of paying this
sum to Government and handing the lists over to the Collector, he deposited it in the Collec-
tor's treasury to the credit of the Srinagar estate which drew it from the treasury, and he
handed the nominal lists over to the patwaris. It is now necessary to make out new lists.
and for this purpose an establishment of six muharrirs on Rs. 15 a month for four months is
required at Bhagalpur. Lists will have to be prepared in Monghyr and Malda also. I will
ask the Board to sanction this establishment at once. It was proposed by the late Collector,
Mr. Marindin, to have the amounts due from the raiyats collected by a kanungo. The Board
have already approved of the deputation of a kanungo for this purpose, but nothing has yet
been done.

This amount should, I think, be realized at once by certificate procedure, if necessary.
Babu Barham Deo Narain should, in my opinion, be posted to Bhagalpur instead of
Bankipore, and he should be put in charge of the realization of the outstanding balance of
cost of survey and settlement, and should see to the immediate collection of what is due.
Mr. Quinn agrees.
14. I annex a statement, prepared by Babu Barham Deo Narain under my instructions,
showing the number of mutations which have actually taken place since 1888 and the number
registered in the landlord's office. The Babu visited this village and made enquiries from
the raiyats with the settlement maps and records in his hands. I was unable to visit this or
any of the Srinagar-Baneli villages myself, as none of them is close to head-quarters, and
there are no bungalows situated near them.
This statement shows that in 283 holdings there were 69 mutations of some sort since
1888, but that of these only three were registered in the landlord's office.

IN forwarding herewith copy of a note recorded by Mr. Finucane, c.s.,
dated the 14th February 1894, on the maintenance of the records of the survey

suggestions. Deputy Collector Baby Barham Deo Narain bas, by Appointment

I AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of Government order No.
1655L.R., dated the 26th March 1894, forwarding,
THE HON'BLE C. C. STEVENS.
SNS for report, a copy of a note recorded by Mr, M.
Formonit
Finucane, C.s., dated the 14th February 1894, on the maintenance of the records
of the survey and settlement of the Srinagar-Baneli estates, and to submit the
following report on the subject.
2. Paragraph 5 of the note.- The Board entirely agree in the remark made
in this paragraph. Without an official establishment it is hopeless to expect
efficient maintenance of the records in estates under private management. The
suggestions made in paragraph 6 are, however, likely to secure better results
than the action hitherto taken, and it may be hoped that they will be carried
out with some care and perseverance by the management.
3. Paragraph 9 of the note.-The Board also agree in Mr. Finucane's
remarks regarding the correction of maps.
4. Paragraph 10 of the note.--Mr. Finucane says that the Deputy Collector
has made the necessary corrections in the raiyats' parchas whenever they pro-
duced their copies for correction, but that many of the raiyats did not produce
their parchas. It would have been useful to know how many of the raiyats
affected did produce their parchas to have the corrections made.
5. Paragraph 11 of the note.-The Board see no objection to the procedure
followed by Babu Barham Deo Narain for the correction of mistakes in the
records.
6. Paragraph 12 of the note.---Mr. Finucane states that Mr. Ricketts, the
late Manager of the Srinagar estate, collected Rs. 6,261-7-1 from the tenants
before the estate passed out of the hands of the Court of Wards; but that instead
of paying this sum to Government and banding the demand lists over to the
Collector, he deposited it in the Collector's treasury to the credit of the Srinagar
estate, which drew it from the treasury. The Collector has subsequently
reported on the 2nd March 1894 that he has looked up some of the chalans
under which the money was deposited in the treasury, and finds that the officers
who realized the money are responsible for having credited it to the Srinagar
estate. The money was collected partly by the Settlement Officers and partly
by the manager. Two chalans-one signed by Mr. Collin, the Settlement
Officer, and the other for him by his head clerk-distinctly state that the
amounts tendered to the treasury were “to be credited in favour of the Srinagar
ward's estate." The chalans presented by the amla of the Srinagar estates give
no information as to the heading under which the amount should have been
credited, and in one case at least, rents, cesses and the cost of survey were paid
into the treasury under one chalan. There is nothing in the Collector's office
to show how Mr. Collin's establishment came to make such a mistake, but a
copy of the letter No. 82T., of the 5th May 1890, from the Director of Land
Records, Bengal, directing that the amounts realized should be remitted to the
Government treasury and credited to Government, having been sent to the
Srinagar Manager, it is clear that the mistake of his office is due to want of
distinct instructions from him.
7. The establishment of six muharrirs on Rs. 15 each a month for four
months has been sanctioned by the Board in their orders, dated the 23rd
February last.

From-J. H. TEMPLE, Esq., Offg. Under-Secretary to the Government of Bengal,
Revenue Department,
To-The Secretary to the Board of Revenue, Land Revenue Department.
In acknowledging the receipt of the Board's letter No. 457 A., dated 3rd
April 1894, I am directed to request that Government may be favoured with a
report, in April 1895, showing what use has been made by the manager of the
Baneli estate of Mr. Finucane's suggestions for the maintenance of the settle-
ment records.
2. I am also to request that the Board will be so good as to take steps to
expedite the submission of the report of Deputy Collector Babu Barham Deo
Narain on the correction of errors in the settlement records of the Srinagar-
Baneli estates.

WITH reference to Government order No. 1279L.R., dated the 14th October
1893, I am directed to submit, for the considera-

rected were clerical errors rather than errors in
attestation, and the blame for their not being
detected while the proceedings were going on must be assigned to the Managers
of the estates. Half the alleged mistakes disappeared on examination, and of
the remainder one-third related to mistakes of copying and regarding other
matters than those of fair rent. Deducting these, the items below one rupee
were two-thirds of the whole.
2. The Board, concurring with the Commissioner, the Officiating Director
and Babu Barham Deo Narain, see no reason to question the general success
and usefulness of the survey and settlement in these two estates. The Direc-
tor, Mr. Macpherson, in his letter No. 2152A., dated the 15th August 1893
(extract paragraph 3 from which was submitted to Government with this office
letter No. 895A., dated the 30th idem), also remarked that the figures showing
the results of the corrections appeared to him to be “very satisfactory, in so
far as they proved the general correctness of the settlement records."
3. As regards the recovery of the cost of the Settlement Officer's deputa-
tion, the Board would suggest that, in modification of Government order
No. 868T.R., dated the 26th October 1892, the estates may be called upon to
pay half. This they think is a sufficiently liberal arrangement.
4. I am to add that the Appendices C and D referred to in paragraph
21 of the Settlement Officer's report, though called for, have not yet been
received in this office.
5. The report called for by Mr. Richardson's endorsement No. 2866L.R.,
dated 31st May 1894, is separately submitted.
No. 30288., dated Calcutta, the 16th June 1894.
From-E. G. COLVIN, Esq., C.S., Offg. Director of the Department of Land Records
and Agriculture, Bengal,
To-The Secretary to the Board of Revenue, Lower Provinces.
I HAVE the honour to forward herewith copy of memorandum No. 423G., dated 19th
May 1894, from the Collector of Bhagalpur, and the letter in original to which it gives cover,
No. 179, dated 12th February 1894, from Babu Barham Deo Narain, reporting completion of
the work of correction of clerical mistakes in the settlement records of the Baneli-Srinagar
estates. The appendices mentioned in Babu Barham Deo Narain's report have not been
received and have been called for.
2. It will be seen that the number of mistakes actually corrected by Babu Barham Deo
Narain is 2,222, which gives a percentage of 3.6 on the total number of tenants for whom
rent was either ascertained or settled (60,895). Babu Barham Deo Narain is probably correct
in the conclusion stated in his paragraph 22, that the number of mistakes in the records might
have been much smaller if copies or extracts from the khatians similar to the parchas and
parcha counterfoils now in use had been made over to the parties concerned while the record-
writing was proceeding. It is true that this would have caused some additional expenditure
of time and money, but the expense would certainly have been less than that which has now
been incurred in the correction of the record, which is reported in paragraph 25 of Babu
Barham Deo Narain's report to have amounted to Rs. 8,354-9-10.
3. In paragraph 26 Babu Barbam Deo Narain gives reasons for his opinion that this
expenditure should be charged to the estates--a question which he states was reserved until
Barhamounts, which have causedlose
completion of his report. I do not know whether this question is still an open one. In
memorandum No. 868T.R., dated 26th Ootober 1892, to the address of the Board of
Revenue, the Secretary to the Government of Bengal, in the Revenue Department, stated
that “the work should be carried out at the expense of Government, and not of the Srinagar-
Baneli estates." I am not aware of any later correspondence modifying these orders, and if
this be the case, it would seem that the matter has already been decided. If the question be
still open, I think there is much weight in the argument that the proceedings have been
unnecessarily prolonged by the tardiness with which the Manager supplied the lists of mistakes
which they wished corrected, and I think half the cost of Babu Barham Deo Narain's deputa-
tion and of his establishment while employed on this work, might reasonably be added to
the sums which are still outstanding against the estates on account of the survey and settle-
ment operations.
No. 423G., dated Bhagalpur, the 19th May 1894.
Memo. by- The Collector of Bhagalpur.
FORWARDED in original to the Director of the Department of Land Records and
Agriculture, Bengal, for information, with reference to his No. 1109S. of the 22nd March
1894.
No. 179, dated Bhagalpur, the 12th February 1894.
From-BABU BARHAMDEO NARAIN, Settlement Officer, Baneli-Srinagar Estates,
To-The Collector of Bhagalpur.
I HAVE the honour to report completion of the work of correction of clerical mistakes in
the settlement records of the Baneli and Srinagar estates, for which I was deputed by order
of the Bengal Government conveyed in the Revenue Secretary's letter No. 866T.R., dated
25th October 1892, to my address, and the Under-Secretary's letter No. 519L.R., dated the
31st of January 1893, to the address of the Secretary to the Board of Revenue.
2. Duration of the original settlement. The settlement of the estates belonging jointly
to the Baneli and Srinagar proprietors, was started in November 1887, and it was completed
in every way in March 1892, my completion report numbered 447 having been submitted on
e moth of that of my deputation
Collector's recome in behalf ording to the de longer in my
3. Origin of my deputation.--A few days before the closing of my office, and after the
records had been deposited in the Collector's record-rooms of the several districts to which the
records belonged, a petition was presented to me in behalf of the landlords, asking me to
correot certain mistakes in the khatians of certain villages according to the decrees. I could
not deal with this petition even if I had wished it, as the records were no longer in my
possession. A representation was than made to the Collector of Bhagalpur, who asked me
to report demi-officially on the representation made to him. In my report, while I admit-
ted the existence of some mistakes in the records, I presented two views of the case. One
view was that it would be setting a bad example to revive proceedings after the records had
been finally published and sent to the Collectors of the several districts. Another view was
that when there were mistakes in the records it was desirable in the interests of the parties
to correct them. I also pointed out that if it be decided to correct the mistakes, the best way
of doing it would be to depute a special officer to go from district to district and to correct
the records in the record-room of the several Collectorates, instead of reviving the Settlement
Office by calling back the records. I closed the office after making this report, and sub-
sequently took furlough on medical certificate. Further enquiries were made in my absence.
The results of the enquiries are shown in Mr. Macpherson's note of inspection of the settle-
ment records at Bhagalpur, of which copy was forwarded to the Board with his No. 1280T.A.,
dated the 9th August 1892. He inspected the records of two villages, namely, Chandrain
and Bungaon. He found nothing wrong in the records of Chandrain. In the records of
Bungaon, bowever, he noticed certain apparent anomalies that could not be then explained.
In the first place he found three sets of records, and it could not be then positively ascertained
which was the one finally published. He found also different rentals entered regarding the
holdings of Ajaib Lal Khan and Ajaib Lal Chaudhri. These apparent discrepancies admit.
of easy explanation. The first set of the record was the one received from the Survey Depart-
ment. The second set without a rubalcari was the one which was taken to the village for final
publication. At the time of final publication of the record, the tenants of the village, which is
a very large one containing 1,400 holdings, presented numerons petitions of compromise for
transfer of fields from one parcha to another. This necessitated a revision of the rentals and
rewriting of the records. The third set of the record is the last copy that was ultimately
published in the village by me personally, and is the binding record. The entries in this
copy must, necessarily differ from those in the previous copies. I was, however, recalled from
furlough not only to submit explanations regarding the above-mentioned discrepancies, but
and Bungaon. hio f1892. He inspeed was forwarded to fi noto
(223)
generally to correct all mistakes that may be found, and to identify the finally published
records of all villages that were brought under settlement.
4. Procedure.-The details of the work were settled by the Director of the Department
of Land Records and Agriculture, and the procedure laid down by him was communicated
with his No. 462T.A., dated 14th February 1893. The procedure was that the parties
should present one petition regarding each village on an 8-annas stamped paper and after 14
days' notice to the opposite parties. All clerical mistakes if verified should be corrected on all
copies of the parchas, and the orders of Government authorizing the correction of the mistakes
should be quoted in support of the correction.
5. Delay caused by presentation of petitions by instalments.- In pursuance of the orders
quoted in the first paragraph of this report, I reported myself to the Collector of Bhagalpur
on the 4th of February 1893. I came here with an understanding that an exhaustive list of
mistakes had been either submitted, or was ready for submission, as stated in paragraph 2 of
a letter, dated 11th March 1892, from the Managers of the two estates, to the Collector of
Bhagalpur, a printed copy of which is appended to Mr. Macpherson's report of inspection of
records at Bhagalpur. I found, however, on my arrival at Bhagalpur that only a partial list
had been submitted with the letter quoted above, and that no further list had been submitted
between the 11th March 1892 and 4th February 1893. A letter was accordingly addressed
to the Manager, Baneli Raj, by the Collector of Bhagalpur, calling for an exhaustive list of
mistakes. The Manager replied in his letter No. 162, dated 20th-21st February, asking
for a month's time to make the necessary arrangements to appoint agents to present petitions
as required in the procedure prescribed by the Director, and to prepare an exhaustive list of
mistakes. The extension of time applied for was granted. Subsequently, in his letter
No. 211, dated 9th March 1893, the Manager wrote as follows:-"Although the time allowed,
namely, one month, is about to expire, still I have not yet been able to obtain exhaustive lists.
I therefore request the favour of your extending the time to another month." This second
extension of time was allowed by the Collector of Bhagalpur with the sanction of the Director
of the Department of Land Records, conveyed in his letter No. 9917, dated the 14th April
1892, to the address of the Collector of Bhagalpur. After expiry of this second extension of
time, the Manager of the Baneli Raj wrote again as follows in his letter No. 406, dated 1st
May 1893:-"I had requested you to grant me one month's extension of time for filing an
exhaustive list of mistakes. I did so in the confident hope that I would be able to obtain
every necessary information from the mufassal in that time. I 220w find, however, that all
the information has not yet come, and the extended time has now passed away. I have
caused several and numerous applications to be already presented to the Settlement Officer,
but still many applications have yet to be filed. I therefore feel myself constrained
to request the favour of further extension of the time to the ond of the month of
May current." This third extension was also allowed with the sanction of the Director
of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture, conveyed in his letter No. 160T., dated
Darjeeling, the 18th May 1893. The sanction was given with a reservation that no
further extension of time should be allowed. No further extension of time was applied for
after this; but on the 7th July, i.e., after expiry of the third extended time, the Manager of the
Baneli Raj again submitted, with his No. 66 of that date, a number of petitions, and asked
that they should be admitted and dealt with, as petitions from raiyats were still being
received and dealt with. As a rule petitions from raiyats were admitted if presented at any
time during my stay in a district, as no notice had been served on them and no time had
been fixed for their admission, and the petitions received from the tenants were so few and
simple that they could be disposed of the next day after presentation. On receipt of the
letter above referred to, the Collector enquired if even the last list exbausted the mistakes, and
if the list was not exhaustive, how much more time was wanted to submit a really exhaustive
list. The Manager said in his letter No. 806, dated 15th August 1893, that he wanted two
months' more time to submit an exhaustive list of mistakes. On the matter being referred to
the Board of Revenue, the order received was to the effect that all petitions presented up to
the date of receipt of Board's order, should be admitted and dealt with. The Board's letter
No. 1284A., dated 22nd September last, was received in the Bhagalpur Collector's office on
the 6th October following. No further petitions had been received from the Manager up to
the date; but a number of petitions were received on the 13th idem. The Collector did not
at first admit these petitions, but it being represented to him that the petitions were ready
before the 6th October and were not submitted because the Settlement Officer had not been
till then authorized to accept them, the Collector admitted those petitions on the 11th Novem-
ber 1893, and directed me to dispose them off. The work has been completed within three
months of the admission of the last batch of petitions. The work could have been finished
much earlier if all the petitions had been presented immediately after my arrival, for in that
case I could have dealt with the work as a whole, and having formed an exact idea of its
extent, could have made an adequate arrangement for its early completion, and would have
been saved the necessity of taking up the same village and going up to the same distriot over
and again.
6. Number of petitions and alleged mistakes--The number of petitions presented by the
landlords is 495, that presented by the tenant is 174. The total number of mistakes brought
to notice by both parties was 4,418, of which 2,646 related to the district of Bhagalpur, 1,076
to the district of Monghyr, 511' to the district of Malda, and 165 to the district of Purnea.
The total number of actual mistakes of all kinds discovered in the four districts is 2,222.

The total increase of rental by correction of mistakes is Rs. 1,511-2-3, and decrease

9. Corrections how made.-Corrections have been made in the Collector's copies of the
khatian and in the two copies of the landlord's khatians with red ink, both in words and
figures, and the orders authorizing the corrections have been quoted All corrections have
been made after notice to the opposite parties, and this fact has also been recorded in the
bound volume of the record kept in the Collectorate. The raiyats' copies were corrected
when produced; but when they were not, it has been remarked in the Collector's copy that
as far as the raiyats' copy differed from the Collector's, to that extent it was wrong.
10. Chances of mistakes in the records.-- Before entering into the explanation of the.
mistake, I consider it necessary to describe briefly the procedure followed in calculating the
fair rent settled regarding each tenant in order to give some idea of the numerous chances
of mistake to which the records were exposed. The khasra and the khatian were received
from the Survey Department. The khasra was received complete; but in the khatian the
boundaries of the field, the names of holders, and the areas were entered by the Survey
Department. while the columns for entry of former rental, the settled rental, and the status
of the raiyats were left to be filled up by the Settlement Officer. On receipt of the records
from the Survey Department, one or more munsarims were deputed by the Settlement
Officer to go with the records to the village to read out the entries made in the khatian
of each tenant to him. This was called the bujharut, and the munsarims had instructions
to read out at least 400 khasra numbers each day. At the time of the bujharut, any field
claimed by two persons was entered in the dispute list; or if a field was admitted by all
concerned to have been entered in the name of a wrong person, it was entered on a separate
. * The figures for Malda are not included, but they do not materially affect the net result. In Malda the mistakes were
mostly in copies and under one rupee.
( 225 ) .
list called Islah khasra, i.e., a list of admitted mistakes in the khasra. Summary orders
were passed regarding fields entered on the dispute list, and the fields admittedly entered in
the names of wrong persons were, as a matter of course, ordered to be entered in the names
of real owners. In the carrying out of these orders was the first chance of mistakes which
the clerks were liable to commit. Then, after the orders had been carried out, the areas in
the khatians had to be totalled again. Here was a second chance of mistake. Then the
not to be assessed like ordinary mal lands. The areas of such fields had to be eliminated
and deducted from the total assessable area of the tenants, who had a variety of holdings.
There were many such tenants in the Bhagalpur district. There were chances of mistakes
in all these calculations. Then again, there were columns in the form of the khatian used
for entering and attesting the formal rental; but there was none for showing the former area.
This had to be ascertained from the patwari, with reference to the hastabood (rent-roll), and
as there were two shareholders in most villages, the hastabood of the one differing from that
of the other in respect of area, in consequence of division of holdings having been recognized
by one party and not by the other, the patwari' stated the rental at the time of the attestation
from one hastabood which the raiyats accepted, as it was correct in itself; but he stated the
area of the holding from another hastabood at the time of the calculation of the fair rental.
The patwaris had been cautioned to use the same hastabood on both occasions, but sometimes
they did not bear this in mind, and the result is that some mistakes of this description have
orept into the record. When the materials for calculating the fair rent had been thus
'araanged, and orders had been passed as to how the fair rent should be calculated, the, rent
itself had to be calculated in an elaborate way, as shown in the annexed statement (Appendix
A). It will appear at once at a glance of this statement that there were chances of mistakes,
both in transcribing figures from other records, and in making the various addition, subtrac-
tion, and multiplication. The last figure yielded by this elaborate calculation had to be
entered in the decree and transcribed again from the decree into the khatian, which gave
further chances of mistakes of posting. After the completion of the original record, four
copies of the khatians had to be made for the Collector, the landlords, and the tenants. There
were chances of mistakes in preparing the copies also.
11. · The temporary nature of the appointment of the clerks.-Another point to be consi-
dered is that the settlement records were mostly prepared in camps at Nowbatta, Gagree, and
Balua, where the establishment had to be organized generally from among those candidates
only who presented themselves in camp. Some of them, and particularly the muharrirs on
whom devolved the work of making calculations, were inexperienced, and their appointment
being temporary, they could not realize that sense of responsibility which the clerks on a per-
manent establishment might have done. The Settlement Officers had to make the best of bad
materials with which they had to work.
12. Illustration of the mistakes.- Coming now to the mistakes themselves, I do not
think it will be possible, or serve any useful purpose, to describe every mistake singly, or give
a separate explanation regarding each. The classification given above shows the nature of the
mistakes and how they arose. It may be useful, however, to give one illustration of each kind
of mistake.
· 13. Misstatement of the former areas of holding by the patwaris.-The existing rent of a
holding belonging to Sukuli Gope, in pargana Kubkhund, was admitted by the landlords as
well as the tenants to be Rs. 2-3-3. This rent was correct for an area of one bigha only;
but the patwari stated the area of this holding to be 1 bigha 6 cottahs. The latter might
have been the area of this holding in some past time, but both the area and the rental were
reduced by a subdivision, which was not noted in the hastabood from which the patwari
stated the area. Mistakes of this kind have been classed as mistakes made by the patwaris in
stating the area.
14. Mistakes of posting figures. In mauza Aurea Romaitee, pargana Kubkhund, the
rental of the holding of Sheik Leaqat was attested to be Rs. 21-5-3. In carrying over the
figure to another paper it was entered as 41 bighas 5 cottahs 3 chitaks. Mistakes of this
kind have been classed as mistakes of posting figures.
15. Mistakes of arithmetical calculaticn.-In mauza Aurea Romaitee the former area
of the holding of Wahdee was 1 bigha 13 cotahs and 0 chitaks, and the present area by the
survey oame to 2 bighas 15 cottahs and 11 chitaks. The excess area came to 1 higha 2 cottahs
11 chitaks. Out of this excess area 4 cotahs 19 chitaks was deducted on account of differe
ence in the system of measurement, and 2 oottahs 5 chitaks on account of seed bed that was
not assessable. The net excess area came to 15 cottahs 7 chitaks, but it was shown as
1 bigha 15 cottahs 7 chitaks. This was a mistake of calculation in making deduction.
Mistakes of this nature have been classed as those of calculation.
16. Mistakes arising from misunderstanding of judgment and orders.-In mauza Teluhar,
pargana Kubkhụnd, district Bhagalpur, the decision was that in those cases in which the
area by present survey had exceeded the former recorded area, the birar lands or seed beds
should be excluded from the excess area, and the net excess area assessed to rent : but in some
cases although there was no excess area, the birar lands were excluded, and the former rent
was reduced. This was not meant by judgment. The judgments, I find, were correctly
translated in the body of the decrees; but the muharrirs still failed in some cases in applying
them correctly in making the calculations. Mistakes of this kind have been classed as arising
from a misunderstanding of judgments. There are 400 mistakes of this class; but it does
not necessarily follow that as many judgments were 'misunderstood. Ono judgment applied
of thel5. Mistaklassed as mistras entered as attes
pored by prosent su From the excess oures, the birar landno judgme
2e
( 226 )
to many holdings in a village, and the misunderstanding of a single judgment would give
rise to many mistakes. In the village of Dharampur therè have been 12 mistakes by a mís-
understanding of a single judgment.
17. Mistakes of omission to carry out orders.---The mistakes arising from omission to
carry out orders are generally those in which the orders passed were carried out in some
papers, but not in all. For instance, when an order was passed on a petition to transfer a
field from one khatian to another, the field was so transferred, but the rent in both parchas was
not amended according to alteration of the areas. Many decisions of the Appellate Court
were not communicated to the Settlement Officers before the records had been finally published
and deposited in the Collectorate. The orders in such cases also could not be carried out.
18. Unaccountable mistakes. - I have come across some mistakes that are unaccountable,
For instance, the original entries in some cases seem correct, and they have been altered with-
out any note being recorded as to why they were altered. Mistakes of this kind are rare;
being not more than a dozen. In some cases when the total area in the terij did not agree
with the total area in the khasra, and the difference was very slight, being of a few.cottahs and
dhurs, the terij writers checked the terij so far as to reconcile it with the khasra. Mistakes
of this class also are care.
19. Proportion of mistakes. The total number of mistakes of all kinds in the original
records being 1,597, and the total number of the khatians being 67,141, the percentage of
mistakes on the number of khatians comes to 2:3. But the mistakes are of various kinds and
refer to various papers. In my opinion it is not the right way of finding out the proportion
of mistakes to compare the total number of mistakes of all kinds with the number of the
khatians only. The right way in my opinion is to consider each kind of mistake separately
in relation to the chances of mistake of that particular kind. Thus, the number of mistakes
arising from a misstatement of area or rental by the patwaris is 314 against 60,895 tenants,
whose rent was either settled or simply ascertained. The percentage comes to .5. This is,
however, a sort of mistake for which the Settlement Officers are not directly responsible,
though they are for all other kinds of mistakes. The total number of mistakes of posting
figures from one paper to another is 212. This is insignificant when it is considered that the
figures to be posted were not less than five lakhs. The same remark applies to miitakes of
calculation. About a dozen arithmetical calculations had to be made regarding each holding
'whose rent was settled. The number of mistakes arising from arithmetical calculation is 453.
The number of tenants whose rent was settled, as distinguished from those whose rent was
simply recorded, is about 50,000. The number of arithmetical calculations to be made in
those cases come to about six lakhs. The percentage of mistakes of calculation on the number
of calculations to be made is hardly worth finding out. The number of mistakes arising from
a misunderstanding of orders or omission to carry them out is 531. As generally one decision
covered the cases of many tenants, it may be taken that some 100 orders were misunderstood,
or not fully carried out. The percentage comes to .2. As I have stated above, the orders
were correctly translated, and correct translations are embodied in the decrees. The mistakes
of this kind must be attributed to the inexperience and ignorance of the clerks, and to some
extent to the hurry with which it must be admitted they sometimes worked. On the whole,
having regard to the unusual opportunities given to the parties for detecting and bringing
mistakes to notice nearly four years after the publication of the final records and to the extent
of work that had to be done, it is rather a matter of surprise that the proportion of mistakes
is so extremely small.
20. Opportunities given to the agents of the proprietors to examine the records and bring
mistakes to notice.-I have been asked to report whether or not the Managers of the estates
had opportunities to examine the records and to bring the mistakes to notice while the
settlement operation was in progress. On this point I can say positively and distinctly
that from the very beginning of the settlement operations the Settlement Officers gave them
free access to the records in their possession, and also gave them copies when copies were
wanted. Sometimes the original records were handed over to their authorized agents on
receipts being given for the same. Their petitions of objection were accepted even after
the time allowed by law had expired; and when the records were finally published, it was
arranged through the Collector of Bhagalpur that the Managers should engage men to check
the records in the Settlement office before they took delivery of the copies prepared for
them. As amatter of fact, they engaged men who checked the records for ten months,
from June 1890 to March 1891, and any mistake which they brought to notice was corrected
and signed by the Settlement Officer.
21. Explanation of the Managers regarding omission to report mistakes before completion
of the work.--By the order of Government the Collector of Bhagalpur required the Managers
to explain why the mistakes were not brought to notice when the settlement was in pro-
gress. The Manager of the Baneli Raj is the spokesman, as he has always been, ever
since the Srinagar estate passed out of the management of the Court of Wards. His explana.
tion is contained in his letter No. 1225 of 11th December 1893 (Appendix B). In this he
divides the mistakes into two classes – those that occur in making calculations before publica-
tion of the draft record, and those that were committed in carrying out the orders passed on
objection under sections 105 and 106 of the Tenancy Act. The gist of his explanation
regarding the first class of mistakes is that the detailed jamabandi not having been
published with the draft records, the mistakes could not be detected, and that he did nut
suspect mistakes. His explanation regarding the second class of mistakes is similar, namely,
that his men had no opportunity of seeing how the subsequent orders had been carried out.
of seeing the sound not be Jamabant
(227)
.
I consider both these explanations to be insufficient and untenable, and they are hardly
borne out by facts. In the first place, I do not clearly understand what is meant by detailed
jamabandi. The khatians were published, which showed separately, regarding each tenant
the area of his holding found by the present survey, his formal rental, and the rental settled
by the Settlement Officer, and these khatians were deposited in the villages for the inspection
of the Manager and his subordinates for a month. Only the former area of each holding
· was not shown in the khatian, as there was no column for it, but this was to be found
in the landlord's own office. By detailed jamabandi is probably meant the statement called
Icami beshi, which shows the process of caloulation of rent regarding each holding, and of
which a specimen is appended to this report as Appendix A. The kami beshi was generally
prepared in the presence and with the help of the patwaris. The rules did not require the
publication of this statement. It does not form part of the record of rights, and is not a
recognized document. It was not absolutely necessary for the landlords to have this statement
in order to detect mistakes, though if they had it, then their work would have been easier.
But as a matter of fact, they had access to this statement when they required it, and as a matter
of fact, they filed several thousand petitions of objections regarding mistakes of calculations,
This proves beyond a doubt that the landlords did not labour under disadvantage in
detecting the mistakes. If they did they should have asked for the help and advice of the
Settlement Officer at the time, which the latter would have gladly given. I am not aware
that the Settlement Officers ever refused to accede to any request of the Managers for access to
the records or for copies. On the contrary, they were over anxious to comply with all
reasonable requests of this kind. I beg to submit, as Appendix O of this report, an
extract from some letters on this subject, which will show in a general way how anxious the
Settlement Officers were to give all reasonable facilities to the landlords' representatives to
see the records. . It is further stated that the Managers did not suspect the existence of
mistakes in the records. This also is not intelligible to me in the face of numerous petitions
of objections regarding mistakes that were submitted in behalf of the landlords. Whatever
it be, when the records were published and objections invited, it was the business of the parties
concerned to satisfy themselves that the records were correct, and not to take it for granted
that they were so, unless they were prepared to accept without objection whatever entries
were made in the record. As regards the mistakes that occurred in carrying out the orders
passed after publication of the draft record, I have stated above that the proprietors had
deputed their own men to examine the records before taking delivery of the copies of the
record, and as a matter of fact they examined the records for ten months from June 1890
to March 1891. The Manager says in his explanation that this arrangement was only for
comparing the copies with the original records, and not for finding out mistakes in the latter.
I beg to submit extracts (vide Appendix D) from the correspondence on this subject also,
from which it appears that the arrangement was for checking the records in a general way
without any restriction. An extract from my letter No. 4 of 15th March 1894, to the
address of the Collector of Bhagalpur, in which I stated that the Managers had ample oppor-
tunities to examine the records, and as a matter of fact their men did examine the records, was
also forwarded to the Manager for any explanation he might wish to give. I fully agree with
the Manager when he says that the mistakes were of such a nature that they could not be
easily detected, and they had to depend on untrained men for their detection. The true
explanation of the mistakes, as well as their escape from detection, is to be found in thefact that
both the Settlement Officers and the Managers had much to depend on newly appointed men,
and the process of calculation was necessarily so cumbrous and complicated that the occur-
rence of some mistakes and their escape from detection was unavoidable. The mistakes have
been now found out by the patwaris by an elaborate system of checking, extending over a
period of three years. The patwaris have had an immense advantage over theclass of men
called muharrirs or clerks, in that the work of each patwari has been confined to a limited
area of 4 or 5 villages, and he has been assisted by his personal knowledge of each holding.
• 22. Precautions suggested by the experience of the Srinagar settlement.--I may be expect-
ed to say whether or not, independently of the managers and the patwaris, the Settlement
Officers themselves could have avoided these mistakes, or detected them before the final
publications of the record, and what precautions and safeguards are suggested by the
experience of the Srinagar settlement to avoid similar mistakes in other settlements that are
now being carried on. On the first point I must say that to make the records absolutely
free from mistakes without the co-operation of the parties, was impossible. The Settlement
Officers could examine a certain percentage of the entries only, and make the records correct
on the whole. This they did, as has been proved by the test of three years' scrutiny of
their records. They could not personally examine every process of calculation from the
beginning to end, as this meant the employment of as many Settlement Officers as there were
clerks, which was out of the question. At the same time I am prepared to admit, on review-
ing the work, that it was possible to reduce the number of mistakes at an additional expense
of time and money. The one effective means was to hand over copies or extracts from the
· khatians to the parties concerned. This proceeding would have secured accuracy in the
records by enabling the parties concerned to read and examine the entries carefully and at
leisure, and would have removed all grounds of complaint in future. But the rules as they
then stood did not admit of this being done. The efficacy of this method in securing
accuracy in the records is illustrated by the fact that the original records of Dhappa pargana
were handed over to the agents of the proprietors on their granting a receipt. They checked
the records, probably with the help of the patwaris and. the tenants, and submitted all
1
2 e 2
(228)
objections in time. The result is that hardly any clerical mistake was left in the original
records of that pargana, the numbers of mistakes now discovered being 30 against 4,105
khatians. This procedure, I understand, has been now partly adopted in the Bihar survey
and settlement, inasmuch as extracts from the khatians showing the boundaries of the
fields, though not the areas, are delivered to the tenants after tho khanapuri. I may be
- permitted to say that in my opinion this is not sufficient, for I have found in the course of
this settlement that although the boundaries of a field may be correct, the area, plotting, and
measurement may not be necessarily correct. In my opinion an abstract slip of the khatian
showing the boundaries and areas of the fields, the rent ascertained or settled, and status ..
should be supplied to the parties at the time of publication of the draft records, or, better
still, slips containing the boundaries and the areas may be supplied before the amin leaves
the village, and space may be provided in these slips for entering the rental and the status
when the draft record is published. . Another method of minimising the chances of mistakes
is to have a separate establishment supervised by a Sub-Deputy Collector or a kanungo,
exclusively for checking the records. This much, however, must be said regarding the Baneli-
Srinagar settlement, that there has been a pecuniary gain, rather than loss, by the checking of
the records being done by the village patwaris. instead of a special establishment. It was
superfluous for the Settlement Officer in the Srinagar settlement to organize a responsible
checking establishment, when the Manager of the estate had undertaken to do it. In those
settlements in which the existing rent only is recorded, and fair rent is not settled, many
mistakes are not likely to occur. In the Purnea district of this settlement where such was
the case, only 14 mistakes have been discovered in 14,000 khatians.
23. The settlement accepted as a whole by the parties and the Civil Courts, and its effect on
the collection of rent.-Notwithstanding the existence of some mistakes that have been now
rectified, the settlement records have been accepted as the basis for payment of rent both
by the landlords and the tenants. This will appear from the letters of the Managers of the
estate, of which copies are annexed as Appendices E and F of this report. I give an extract
from one of the letters below: “In all the places in which the settlement operations have
taken place, the jamabandis have been based upon the settlement khatians and parchas; but
much difficulty is being experienced in consequence of the mistakes that have crept up in the
parchas. An Assistant Settlement Officer, Babu Barham Deo Narain, has been deputed to
correct these mistakes, and he is going on with the corrections so far as they have been detected.
Although, even after these corrections, it is possible that some will continue on, still it is hoped
that much of the difficulty will be removed." In a subsequent letter the Manager writes that
the list of mistakes submitted by him is exhaustive. Regarding the attitude of the raiyats,
he writes: “In almost all the places where the settlement has taken place the raiyats seem
willing to accept and go upon the settlement papers. In one pargana, however, in the district
of Malda, namely, pargana Akbarabad, the raiyats are unwilling to go upon these, and are
making a stand." The special .circumstances of pargana Akbarabad have been stated in
the previous reports. Regarding disposal by Civil Courts of rent suits instituted on the basis
of the settlement records, the Manager of the Baneli Raj writes: “From a statement
prepared by me in the month of June last, I found that by that time the Baneli Raj had
instituted about 675 rent suits on the basis of the settlement khatians. Of these about 134
had been decreed cx parte, some 11 cases had been partially decreed in variance with the
parchas,' and the rest had been decreed in full. In 2 out of the 11 cases the Baneli
Raj had to suffer on account of the discrepancies in the zamindari and the raiyats' parchas.
In the other 9 cases the court held against the parchas in respect of the claim for ballah,
Although the settlement khatians had entered in them the amount of the ballah as due to
the Raj, the courts held that this was an illegal cess, and that the landlords could not get
it. Generally, however, the settlement khatians were received by the court with much
reliance." The decisions of the 1st courts at variance with the settlement parchas, in
consequence of discrepancies between the landlords' and the tenants' copies, were set aside
by the Appellate Court, who referred to the decree to settle the difference between the two
copies of the parchas. On the question of ballah the Settlement Officer was also of the
same opinion at first, namely, that it was an illegal cess; but he was overruled by the
Appellate Court. Copies of the decision of the Appellate Court in the two cases of
discrepancies in the parchas, were submitted by me to the Director of the Department of
Land Records, with my letter No. 4 of 17th July last. With the same letter I submitted
also a statement showing the results of the rent suits instituted by the Srinagar estates.
The Srinagar estate instituted 1,749 cases, in 12 of which discrepancies between the two
copies of the parchas were found. Appeals were pending in 1 of these cases, the judgment
having been accepted by both parties in one. On the whole, the result of the decisions of
rent suits instituted on the basis of the settlement parchas tend to show that, while the
parchas have, as a rule, been accepted by the Civil Courts as a reliable piece of evidence, they
have in special .cases exercised proper discretion and discrimination-a thing to be desired
rather than deprecated. That the settlement of the Baneli and Srinagar estates has con-
tributed to facilitate the collection of rent, is shown in the latter part of paragraph 6 of
Mr. Quinn's report No. 2087R., dated 27th September 1892, to the address of the Director
of the Department of Land Records and Agriculture.
24. The special circumstances of a village Golayan. The circumstances of one village,
Golayan, in pargana Narsingpur in the Bhagalpur district, are special, and require to be
mentioned in this report. This is a very large village with 814 holdings and about 10,000
fields. The tenants themselves •do not sufficiently know the fields of one another. The
( 229 )
measurement was made by several amins, and there were some mistakes of khanapuri in
consequence of wrong information having been supplied to them. Many mistakes were
reotified at the time of bujharut and attestation, which was done in the village itself ; but
some are alleged still to exist, because the raiyats did not take a sufficient interest in the
settlement at the time of bujharut, as 8-annas share of the village was in mukarrari lease, and
thn lessee was not an applicant for settlement. The existing rent, however, was all attested,
without dispute. Cholera prevailed in the village when the draft records were published,
and owing to certain prejudices the raiyats would not stir out of their houses. They thus
lost the second chance of bringing mistakes to notice. After my deputation for correction of
mistakes, the Managers said in their letters, of which copies are enclosed (Appendices E. and F),
that they would have the mistakes of this village discovered and rectified by their own
agency. They said in the last hour that they would prefer to have work done by the
Settlement Officer, and pointed out some mistakes by way of specimen. As the undertaking
of this work would have necessitated a revision of khanapuri and the rewriting of the
records, and could not be completed in less than six months, the Director has decided that it
should not be undertaken --vide copy of a note recorded by the Director and forwarded to you
with his No. 3303, dated the 16th December last. The work will now be done by the
agency under the Managers of the estate, and they have got copies of the khasra and the map
for the purpose.
25. Cost of my deputation for correcting the mistakes. The cost of my deputation for
correction of the mistakes is as follows:
Rs. A. P.
Salary of Settlement Officer
5,090 5 2
Special allowance of Settlement Officer
1.272 9 3
Travelling allowance of ditto
700 4 6
Salary of establishment
1,143 1 5
Travelling allowance of .
ditto
148 5 6
Total
8,354 9 10
Out of the sum stated above, Rs. 1,400-3-10 has not yet been drawn from the treasury.
26. Liability of the estate to pay the cost. -The decision of the question whether the
cost of my deputation for correction of mistakes should be charged to the estates or be
borte by the Government, was deferred until completion of the work and submission of my
report I think on the following grounds that the cost should be charged to the estates :-
(a) The landlords' agents were allowed free access to the records and liberty to check
the records; but failed to bring the mistakes to notice while the settlement
was in progress.
(6) There was an interval of upwards of a year between the delivery of the bulk of
the records to the landlords' agents and the closing of the Settlement
Office; but they did not make any mention of the existence of the mistakes
until the 12th hour, when the Settlement office had been nearly closed.
Even then they did not submit a complete list, but pointed out only some
mistakes by way of specimen.
() When the Managers of the estates moved the Government, through the Collector of
Bhagalpur, to depute an officer to correct the mistakes, they submitted only
. a partial list of mistakes, and promised to submit a complete list shortly after.
I arrived at Bhagalpur nearly a year after the date of this letter, but
complete lists were not submitted until after expiry of nine months from the
date of my arrival at Bhagalpur-a circumstance that has greatly retarded
the progress of the work.
(d) Half the number of the mistakes alleged have not been verified on enquiry, and as
a result half of my time and that of my establishment has been wasted in
making fruitless inquiries regarding mistakes that did not exist.
(e) If the Settlement Officers had engaged a separate establishment for checking the
records in addition to the establishment entertained by the landlords, and if
the mistakes had beeen discovered by that establishment instead of the
patwaris of the estate, there would have been double expenditure for discovery
and correction, and no objection would have been then raised to the whole
expenditure being included in the cost of settlement.
(1) Unless it can be shown that the Settlement Officers omitted to do something which
they could have done to ensure accuracy in the records within the limits of
the time and money which they spent, there could be no justification for
charging the cost of my deputation to the public exchequer. On renewing
the work I do not clearly see that there was such an omission, though I am
prepared to admit that somewhat better results might have been obtained, if
The work had been prolonged further and more money spent on it. If the
cost of my deputation is ultimately charged to the estate, it should be appor-
tioned in equal shares between the Baneli and Srinagar estates, as hardly
any mistake has been found in the records of villages belonging exclusively
to the Srinagar estate.
( 230 )
: 27 Identification of the finally published records. Separate reports have been submitted
and separate orders have been passed regarding identification of the records that were finally
published in the village. In the districts of Bhagalpur and Monghyr the records taken out
to the villages were destroyed. In the distriots of Malda, Purnea, and Darbhanga they
were made over to the landlords as their copies. The copies.prepared for the Collectors were
intended to be the authoritative records and were prepared with greater care; but they were
not taken out to avoid risks, and it was considered sufficient compliance with the law to
read out the contents of the other copies, both having been compared with the same
original. The reading out of the contents of the khatian was, moreover, a formal procedure.
The parties seldom attended to it. The tenants read or had read to them the copies that were
delivered to them, and the landlords' agents examined them in office. Certificates have been
written on the bound volumes of the records (Collector's copies) that they are true copies of the
records that were finally published.
28. Average cost per acre. In addition to the duty of identifying the finally published
record and correcting clerical mistakes in the records of right, I was directed to execute decréos
and to adjust the accounts. I have transferred the few applications for execution of decrees
that were made to me to the Civil Courts having jurisdiction, as it was impossible for one
officer to execute decrees in four districts, and I had no establishment for this kind of work.
The accounts have been adjusted and reconciled. The net cost of survey, and settlement
chargeable to the parties according to the final adjustment of account accepted by the Account-
ant-General is Rs. 2,98,897-3-1, 'which gives an average of annas 10-7 per acre on the area
surveyed (447,662 acres), and of annas 11-2 per acre on the area settled (426,265 acres).
The cost of my second deputation for correcting the mistakes is Rs. 8,354-10-1, If this be
added to the cost of the original account, then the total cost chargeable to the parties comes to
Rs. 3,07,291-13-2, which gives an average of annas 10-11 on the area surveyed and of annas
11-6 on the area settled. This is however, exclusive of Rs. 7,220 that has been borne by
Government on acconnt of traverse survey. If this item be also included, then the total cost
on all accounts comes to Rs. 3,14,471-13-2 which gives an average of annas 11-2 per acre on
the area surveyed, and of annas 11-9 on the area settled, out of which two annas per acre is to
be paid by the tenants, annas 9-6 per acre by the zamindars, and 3 pies per acre by the
Government.
29. Special circumstances of the Baneli-Srinagar settlement.-In considering the cost
and general results of this settlement, the following facts deserve to be noticed :-(a) The
property to be surveyed and settled was scattered over five distriots. (6) This was a real
settlement, and not a mere record of right, as had been the case in the experimental survey and
settlement of Muzaffarpur. (c) The settlement was of a complicated nature, and numerous
disputes had to be decided. (d) The Settlement Officers had not the benefit of having before
them any report of a similar settlement in Bengal. (e) The parties have been allowed
special opportunities of scrutinizing the records and getting mistakes corrected long after the
final publication of the records.

APPENDIX B.
No. 1225, dated Bhagalpur, December 1893.
From The Manager, Raj Baneli, Bhagalpur,
To-The Collector of Bhagalpur.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your memorandum No, 1786-89, dated the 17th November
last, forwarding to me a copy of letter No. 1279T.R., dated the 14th October last, from the Officiating
Secretary to the Government of Bengal, to the Secretary to the Board of Revenue, Lower Provinces,
calling from the Managers of the Baneli Raj and of the Srinagar Estate an explanation why they did not
bring the mistakes in the parchas to the notice of the Settlement Officer, or make objections to him under
section 105 of the Bengal Tenancy Act during the course of the settlement proceeding. In compliance
with it, I have the honour to Submit the following explanation. I am not aware what report the
Settlement Deputy Collector has subpitted as to the Managers having an opportunity of bringing
these mistakes to notice during the settlement operations, and consequently I feel difficulty in submitting
this explanation.
2.* The letter calls for an explanation on two points, namely, (a) why were not objections under
section 105 of the Bengal Tenancy Act made, and (6) why were not the mistakes brought to notice of the
Settlement Officer, during the course of the settlement proceedings. An explanation on point (a) has been
called for evidently under. some misapprehension of the circumstances. The Settlement Deputy Collector
has been at present deputed to correct clerical mistakes only in the Srinagar-Baneli settlement records ;
he has not been authorized to decide objection cases. The mistakes that have been placed before him
are mainly of a clerical nature. They arose either in making calculations under orders passed under
section 10% of the Bengal Tenancy Act, or in carrying out the purport of orders passed under sections 105
and 106 So far as these latter, i.e., matters under sections 105 and 106 were concerned, there were
no further occasions for putting in objections under section 105 ; such objections had already been disposed
of, and the errors arose in carrying out the order disposing off them : nor had the parties any opportunity
to examine how the clerks of the Settlement Office had embodied in the record the purport of those passed
by the Settlement Officer, consequently nothing could'be done by the parties about these mistakes. In
respect of calculations under orders passed under section 104, the parties had no opportunity to check
and detect them, as the jamabandi prepared in the Settlement Office had not been published and the
parties had not sufficient time and materials in their hands to enable them to prepare fresh jamabandis
for themselves, and to see whether the total rentals published under section 105 had been arrived at
by correct calculations or not; they had besides at the time under section 105 as to the inaccuracy
of those calculations made in the office of the Settlement Officer. It was not possible for them therefore
to present any objections under section 105 on that score. These errors were detected later on at the
time when, after the publication of the parchas, detailed jamabandis on the basis of them were prepared
at the zamindars' cutcherries, and then steps were at once taken to bring them to the notice of the
authorities, and this was done while still the Settlement.Officer had not closed the settlement operations.
3. With respect to point (6), I beg to submit that the reason why the mistakes were not brought
to the notice of the Settlement Officer in time consists in the fact that they had not been detected then.
As I have represented above, the publication of the draft under section 105 of the Tenancy Act did not
include the publication of the detailed jamabandis. From the drafts themselves therefore the proprietors
could not make out whether the calculations had been correctly made or not by the clerks of the
Settlement Office, In order to ascertain this, there was need of a preparation of fresh detailed jamabandis
by the zamindars' people. This would have required more time than the period of limitation prescribed
by the law, and there were not then sufficient materials also in the hands of the zamindars. Besides
they had no suspicion then that the figures arrived at in the Settlement Office were not all correct.
The errors therefore remained undetected at the time, and were found out only when after the parchas
had been published, detailed jamabandis were prepared by the zamindurs' people under the basis of them
for purposes of collection.
3. Errors also arose in the preparation of the decrees in accordance with the decisious of the Settlement :
Officers and also in carrying out orders passed by them on objections preferred by parties after the publi.
cation of the draft under section 105 of the Act. They were committed by the clerks of the Settlement
Office; and the zamindars' agents had no opportunity of examining them at the time of the preparation
of the decrees and other orders and detecting them. An error committed in the preparation of the original
decree or order was transcribed over to all subsequent papers and remained undetected therefore, until we
prepared our jamabandis on the basis of the parchas for purposes of collection. There was an arrangement
made for comparing the zamindars' parchas with the Collector's parchas; but this was not sufficient for
detection of the mistakes in the original parcha. Besides the settlement operations commenced in the
beginning of the year 1888, and this arrangement for the comparison was made in May 1890, that is after
an enormous number of the papers had been prepared, and the work had to be hurriedly gone through
under the instructions of the Settlement Officer, in order to arrive at a speedy termination. On the part
of the landlords it was suggested that it would be good if their agents would check the Collector's parchas
also, but the Settlement Officer thought that there was no need for this, as they had been already sufficiently
tesetd by his own clerks. Then again, the work of comparison was ordered to be finished with a great
speed, and the proprietors had to entertain a largo ticca or temporary establishment of rather somewhat
untrained men at a great cost. These efforts show that the landlords were always attentive and active
to do their best in carrying out arrangements that would make the settlement record full and complete ;
and if the errors remained undetected it was no fault of theirs. They had been committed by the clerks
of the Settlement Office, and the nature of the subsequent arrangement precluded a testing of them by the
zamindars' agents. I submit therefore that this explanation will be found satisfactorily to show that it
is through no lack of them that it has become now necessary to depute the Settlement Deputy Collector
to rectity the mistakes.
In conclusion, I beg to submit one word in respect of the time taken in finding out the mistakes.
This could not be done so long as the detailed jamabandis had not been prepared, and in preparing
these jamabandis materials had to be collected from various sources, and the jamabandis had to be
prepared through only such men as were suficiently acquainted with the details of the settlement operations,
and their number is naturally very limited. Besides to be able definitely to say that there is a mistake,
we had to test it and retest it in order to be sure of our position. Then again, in many instances the
calculations have been somewhat intricate for the class of men doing them, so much so, that now when
the mistakes are being corrected by the Settlement Office, the clerks of that office have to refer to the
zamindars' jamabandis before finally understanding the nature of the error. All these imply time, and
as the mistakes have been detected, we have gone on placing them before the Settlement Officer, and the
last list was submitted to him in September last.

From-BABU PRASANNA KUMAR SEN, Manager of Kumar Nityanand Singh, Bhagalpur,
To-The Collector of Bhagalpur.
WITH reference to your endorsement No. 1196--1200G., dated the 31st ultimo, and subsequent
reminder, on the subject of submission of a report called for by the Director of Land Records and
· Agriculture, Bengal, in his letter No. 2114T.A., dated 11th-17th August 1893, on the working of survey
and settlement with regard to the Sripagar estate, I have the honour to submit as follows.
2. Referring to point (1) of the Director's letter quoted above, I beg to state that the jamabandis
have been based, since the settlement operations took place, upon the settlement khatians and parchas
throughout the zamindari. But much difficulty is often experienced owing to the numerous mistakes
that have cropped up in the settiement parchas in all the distriets in which the zamindari lies. On being
moved, the Government of Bengal has deputed Babu Barham Deo Narain, Assistant Settlement Officer,
who is now going on with the correction of those mistakes so far as they have been detected at present;
but there is every likelihood of the detection of more mistakes in future, and unless they are all corrected,
there will be still confusion,
3. Particularly in mauza Golayan, pargana Nishangpur Kurha, in North Bhagalpur, much confusion
has arisen in the record of the holdings of raiyats, where I think there was at the first instance
no proper test made of the measurements. It appears now that in many instances plots of holdings have
been so carelessly recorded that it is almost impossible to find out at present which plot belongs to which
raiyat, in consequence of which I have deputed a manserim on my side to find out the mistakes, so that
they may be rectified in due course to avoid confusion in future.
4. In almost all the places the raiyats generally seem willing to accept, and go upon the settlement
papers, with the exception of pargana Akbarabad, in the district of Malda, where the raiyats are opposed
to the settlement records, and have made a stand, and the collections have stopped thereby. They refuse
to accept receipts according to the settlement khatians, though they seem willing to pay rents in accordance
with the old jamabandis of the estate. It is now contemplated to bring rent suits upon the settlement
khatians against some of the leading raiyats to bring them to their proper senses.
5, With regard to point (2), I beg to submit that I have ordered for the preparation of registers
both in the sadar and mufassal for recording the mutations in connection with the settlement khatians, but
I see that the mufassal agency is not yet quite up in this work of registration. I hope they will learn this
with efficiency in course of time.
6. None of my tahsildars and patwaris is competent to draw maps, and if any alterations are
required in the maps, regular amins will have to be engaged for the work.
7. With reference to point (3), I beg leave to state that generally the settlement khatians are received
by the Civil Courts with much reliance, though in many instances the estate had to suffer loss owing to
the discrepancies in the zamindars' and raiyats' parchas, which I hope will be removed when all the
mistakes in the parchas are rectified.
8. In conclusion, I beg to apologize for the delay in submitting this report as I was absent from my
head-quarters for nearly three weeks, and only came back day before yesterday.

No. 961, dated Bhagalpur, the 8th September 1893.
From The Manager, Raj Baneli, Bhagalpur,
To-The Collector of Bhagalpur.
WITH reference to your memorandum No. 1196—1200G., dated the 31st ultimo, forwarding to me
a copy of the Commissioner's No. 1652R., to you, dated the 23rd August last, with enclosures, containing
letter No. 2114T.A., dated the th August last, from the Officiating Director of the Department of Land
Records and Agriculture, I have the honour to report as follows:
2. The correspondence relates to information on these points, namely-
(1) The extent to which the settlement khatians have been adopted as the working jamabandis in
which rents have been collected ;
(2) What has been done to keep the settlement records by the registration of mutations since it was
published ; and
(3) The extent to which the Civil Courts have decreed rents in the area surveyed in accordance with
the survey and settlement record. The second paragraph of the letter of the Director
refers to estates under the Court of Wards, and does not therefore concern the Banaili
Raj.
3. In connection with the points mentioned above, I beg to state as follows :-
(1) In all the places in which the settlement operations have taken place, the jamabandis have
been based upon the settlement khatians and parchas. But much difficulty is being
experienced in consequence of the numerous mistakes that have cropped up in the parchas,
An Assistant Settlement Officer, Baby Barham Deo Narain, has been deputed to correct these
mistakes, and he is going on with the corrections so far as they have been detected:
Although even after these corrections, it is possible that some will continue on, still it is
hoped that much of the difficulty will be removed.
In Golayan in North Bhagalpur, where there was originally no proper test made of the measurement,
much confusion has arisen in tbe record of the fields of the raiyats, and it appears that in
innumerable instances plots of fields have been so wrongly recorded that it has become
almost impossible to find out what field really belongs to whom.
(233)
The Baneli Raj tahsildar of the cutcherry there has represented these matters, and it has been
decided by me to have an amin deputed to rectify the mistakes, although this will
necessarily change the entries in the settlement record, but it is hoped that the raiyats will
agree to the course, and there will be ultimately no difficulty, and I shall have these
changes recorded as so many mutations upon the settlement khatians,
In almost all the places where the settlement has taken place the raiyats seem willing to accept,
and go upon, the settlement papers. In one pargana, however, in the district of Malda,
namely, pargana Akbarabad, the raiyats are unwilling to go upon them and are making
a stand, and it is in oontemplation to have rent suits instituted against some of the ring-
leaders. Even when they seem inclined to pay rents, they refuse to accept receipts contain-
ing mention of the settlement plots of lands.
(2) I have prescribed regular registers for recording the mutations in connection with the settlement
khatians, and I have directed the mufassal agency to cause to have each mutation recorded
in the register. I have asked them to submit reports as to the number of mutations
already recorded, but it appears that, with the exception of the cutcherry at Gogri in the
mutations. In Gogri some 225 mutations have already been made. I find that the mufassal
agency as a rule is not yet quite up in this work of registration, and it will take time for
them to learn this with efficiency; neither is the tahsildar nor is the patwari competent to
make maps, and in occasions for altering the maps, regular amins have to be deputed to do
the work.
(3) From a statement prepared by me in the month of June last, I found that by that time the
Baneli Raj had instituted about 675 rent suits on the basis of the settlement khatians; of
these, about 134 had been decreed ex parte, some 11 cases have been partially decreed in
variance with the parchas, and the rent had been decreed in full. In two out of
the 1l cases the Baneli Raj had to suffer on account of the discrepancies in the zamindari
and the raiyats' parchas. In the other nine cases the Courts held against the parchas in
respect of the claim for ' batta. Although the settlement khatians had entered in them the
amount of the batta as due to the Raj, the Courts held that this was an illegal cess, and
that the landlord could not get it. Generally, however, the settlement khatians were
received by the Courts with much reliance.
No. 648G., dated Howrah, the 27th July 1894.
From-E. W. COLLIN, Esq., C.S., Covenanted Deputy Collector, Howrah,
To-The Secretary to the Board of Revenue, Lower Proviņces, Calcutta.
I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 1206A., dated the
21st July 1894, forwarding for remarks certain correspondence regarding the correction of
errors in the Srinagar-Baneli settlement records.
2. In reply, I have the honour to refer you to my letter No. 551G., dated
February 1894, which was written after a perusal of the report of Babu Barham Deo Narain.
I would request that this letter be considered in connection with the question under reference.
3. In regard to the mistakes, I can only repeat that the existence of any mistakes is to
be regretted. At the same time, the number of mistakes was small in proportion to the
number of entries, and more than half of them were of a trifling character. In calculating a
large number of new rentals, it is, I submit, impossible to avoid some mistakes. If the mis-
takes were serious and indicated fraud in preparing the figures, it would be a serious matter,
but when it is found that the mistakes only affect a few annas, it would have been wiser for
the landlords to have accepted the calculations, even though not strictly accurate. The effect
on the rent-roll of the correction of mistakes was to bring out an increase of Rs. 219 only in a
rent-roll of nearly three lakhs. Such mistakes would not occur in settlements where existing
records are merely recorded, but it is difficult to prevent them when new rentals have to be
calculated. The calculations were checked and tested by the officer and the landlords' agents
when the papers were first prepared, and if mistakes were overlooked, I would refer to the letter
of the Manager of the Baneli Raj, No. 1225, dated 11th December 1893, where he admits that
in order to ascertain that there was really a mistake, it was “necessary to test and retest the
calculation” after “the preparation of new jamabandis, for which the materials had to be
collected from several sources.” The bulk of the records was made over to the landlords by
March 1891, and it was not until after two and a half years' scrutiny of the papers, that the
landlords were able, in October 1893, to file their complete list of mistakes. It was then found
that half the mistakes on the list were not mistakes at all, while of the remainder, more than
half affected amounts of less than eight annas, and the total percentage of errors in the
amount of rentals was 9. I trust therefore that the Settlement Department, which had to
carry on the proceedings with as much despatch as possible, and which could not stop to “test
and retest calculations by materials collected from several sources,” will be to some extent
exonerated from the charge of bad work.
4. As to the charge that the Manager were not given full opportunity to check the
records, I have the honour to refer to paragraph 12 of my letter No. 551G., dated the sea
February 1894. The Appendioes C and D referred to in aragraph 21 of the report of Babu
Barham Deo Narain, (No. 17E., dated the 12th February) pwill show that every facility was
given to the landlords. I can only repeat what I said before, that the landlords were allowed
to go through the whole of the records and to check every entry by the agency of their own
clerks before the records were made complete. The Manager of the Baneli Raj appears to
deny this, and to say that the landlords were only allowed to check the copying of the entries,
and not the original entries. This is not the fact, as pointed out in paragraph 12 of my letter
No. 551, dated th February 1894.
2 f
( 234 )
5. Again, the Manager of the Baneli Raj, in his letter No. 1225, dated 14th December
1893, urges that the landlords' agents could not check the entries in decrees in suits for
settlement of rents or for disposal of objections. I should be glad to know why they could
not do this. In all civil suits, the parties test and check the decrees, and no obstacles were
put in the way of the landlords doing so in the settlement proceedings. Again, the Manager
makes a great point of the detailed jamabandis” not being published. Ho refers here to
the papers drawn up for the calculation of new rentals, of which a sample form is given in
Appendix A of the papers forwarded by you. These papers, of course, were not published, but
they were prepared, and the calculations were made by the Settlement Office, assisted by the
landlords' patwaris or agents in every case. In fact, they could not have been prepared with-
out their assistance. Some mistakes of calculations were made, but they were not detected
until after the records had been for two years in the hands of the patwaris, who “tested and
retested them” with a view to find out mistakes, and then only found 2:3 per cent. of the
caloulations wrong, and wrong only to an insignificant extent.
6. With regard to the liability for payment, it is for the Government to consider if the
deputation of a special officer was originally necessary, and if the bulk of the expenditure
incurred by his deputation was not due to the delay of the landlords in filing lists of mis-
takes. I would point out, however, that the Officiating Director of the Department of Land
Records is entirely in error when, in paragraph 2 of his letter to the Board, No. 30288., dated
the 16th June 1894, he states that “the number of mistakes might have been much smaller,
if copies of extracts from the khatians, similar to the parchas and parcha counterfoils now in
use, had been made over to the parties, while record-writing was proceeding." The mistakes
were not mistakes arising in the record-writing. As was pointed out by the Manager of the
Baneli Raj in his letter, Appendix D of the papers submitted by you, the mistakes are "mainly
of a clerical nature. They arose in making calculations of revised rentals, or in carrying out
the purport of orders passed under sections 105, 106.” Such errors would not be prevented by
the issue of parchas at the time of khanapuri. A reference to the classification of errors given
as Appendix A to my letter No. 551G., dated 3rd February 1894, will prove this conclusively.
The issue of parchas may prevent errors in the records where, as I understand is now being
done in Bihar, existing rents are only recorded, but it will not prevent errors of calculations
of revised rents after a settlement suit, and it is to be remembered that rents amounting to
Rs. 2,94,000 were settled in the Srinagar-Baneli estates. The remarks therefore of Babu
Barham Deo Narain and the Officiating Director of Land Records as to the issue of parchas
is beside the point. I have the honour to earnestly request that it may be remembered that
the mistakes which have been brought to light, are almost entirely mistakes of office work. If
the officers in charge of the settlement are to blame for their imperfect supervision of this
portion of their duties, on the other hand they deserve credit for the faot that though the
records have been tested by actual experience for over three years, and have been subjected
to the rigid and unfavourable scrutiny of the landlords, few, if any, mistakes have been
brought to light affecting the settlement, so far as concerns the field work and preparation
of the original record.

(3) A letter, dated the 15th February 1894, from M. Finucane, Esq., on special duty,
submitting a note on the maintenance of the settlement records in the
Srinagar-Banaili estates.
These estates are situated in the districts of Malda, Purnea, Bhagalpur,
Monghyr, and Darbhanga, and are owned jointly by Kumar Nityanand Singh,
Kumar Kamalanand Singh, and Kumar Kalkanand Singh, of Srinagar, and
Raja Padmanand Singh, of Baneli. The Court of Wards took charge of the
Srinagar portion of the estates in October 1882, the three proprietors of that
· Reasons for undertaking the portion being then minors. No trustworthy rent-
survey and settlement. T r oll had been left by the late proprietor, the father
of the minors; and the rent demand was never collected in full. The
arrear demand when the Court of Wards entered upon the management
of the property was Rs. 14,68,440. In 1884 it was found necessary to
remit arrears to the amount of Rs. 10,15,036, and in 1886-87 the collections
of rent and cesses were only 63 and 55 per cent., respectively, the arrears
amounting to seven lakhs. It was therefore resolved that the property should be
surveyed and a record of rights prepared under the Bengal Tenancy Act, in
order to effect an adjustment of the rent demand and to secure system and punc-
tuality in the collections. With this object an application was made by the
Court of Wards under Section 101 of the Bengal Tenancy Act, in which Raja
Padmanand Singh, the co-sharer in the greater part of the property, joined.
Under the orders of 1887, the proceedings were to embrace lands in estates which
were the exclusive property of the Srinagar minors, and in those which were
the joint property of the minors and the Baneli Raj. The proceedings were
subsequently extended to three villages in the Khubkhund pargana of Bhagalpur,
in which a 4-anna share was held by other proprietors, and to the villages
in Purnea held by the Srinagar estate in patni and darpatni. It may be
mentioned here that the Srinagar estate was released from the management of
the Court of Wards in July 1891.
2. The following extract from Mr. Collin's report (paragraph 74) gives an
account of the principal causes of confusion in the rent-roll which made it
incumbent on the Court of Wards to prepare a new and accurate record through
the machinery of a survey and settlement under Chapter X of the Tenancy
Act:
574. It has been explained that the chief reason for the survey was to clear up confusion
in the landlords' rent-rolls. The following were the principal oauses of the confusion :-
(1) Abatements and remissions on account of absoonded raiyats, or zaiyats who had
died without heirs, had not been noted in the rent-rolls. In the Daphar
pargana the rent-roll of the Srinagar estate had not been corrected for over
30 years, with the result that large uprealizable balances were shown.
Another result was that abandoned holdings were resettled with new raiyats,
while also retained in the former tenant's name, and thus appeared twice in
the rent-roll.
(2) Changes of tenants by transfer or succession had not been noted in the rent-rolls,
and thus the landlords' papers were obsolete. In the village of Bishunpur-
anda batements and remis, had not been neu estate had 10€ balances wer
2.f2
( 236
)
Gonesham, the patwari papers showed 86 raiyats, of whom 44 were not
traceable. The landlords at first claimed to have the names of raivats
entered in the records, though they had oeased to have any connection with
the village, as they feared that otherwise they would have no power of
collecting the arrears of rent from them. This led to many disputes as to
the name of the tenant to be entered.
(3) The patwari papers often did not show the true name of the cultivator. Raiyats
were entered by fictitious names. In the villages of Dharampur and Hempur
the patwaris' paper contained 54 names of fictitious or "furzi' raivats.
In one village of 196 acres, the names of 47 fictitious raiyats were found to
be entered. It was found that this practice prevailed in 38 out of 108
villages in the Khubkhand and Uttarkhand parganas. It was stated that the
object was to distinguish between holdings held at money rental and those
held on halhasili or jaidadi tenures. It was, however, a matter of great
difficulty to find out the name of the real tenant. The same practice
prevailed to a modified extent in Purnea, where raiyats held a number of
holdings under many names and discarded or retained the tenancies, as they
thought fit.
(4) The rent-rolls were not checked by the landlords' agents. Thus, in Belwa-
Sukhasan village, 54 new tenants were discovered. In Nirmalli 300 bighas
of land unassessed to rent were found, which were entered as taufir in the
patwaris' papers, but were found to be held by raiyats.
(5) Numerous disputes as to rates existed. Many of the villages were formerly
leased out, and the lessees tried to raise the rates by the simple expedient of
entering higher rates in their rent-rolls. The rates were also in many
villages raised by the lessees on the condition that no measurement was madě
The enhancements were looked upon by the raiyats as special cesses, but the
landlords treated them as real, and tried to retain them after measuring the
villages. Thus in Mysurbo the rates were raised, in 1274F., from Re. 1.10-6
to Re. 1-14 on the understarding that there should be no measurement. In
1278 the village was measured, and all lands held by raiyats were assessed
at the higher rate, though the raiyats did not accept the enhancement,
Disputes of this character were frequent in the Khubkhand and Uttarkhand
parganas of Bhagalpur; and in several villages of Monghyr there were
instances of disputed rates on account of illegal enhancements." The difficulty
was accentuated wheu the new form of rent-receipt introduced by the Tenancy
Act came into force. The landlords then would only give receipts with the
new rentals, and the raiyats would not accept them until the rents were
entered at the old recognized rates. In some villages in Bhagalpur, such as
the Shahpur taluka, Darhar, Agwanpur, and others, there was confusion as to
areas of holdings. The rates had been increased by a lump sum on the
understanding that raiyats should be allowed to extend their holdings without
measurement. In some cases the landlords had broken through this under-
standing, and had measured the villages and assessed the newly cultivated
lands. The majority of the raiyats would refuse to accept the assessment, but
a few would submit, and hence the dispute was kept alive. In cases where no
measurement was made, the enhanced rental was calculated on the area of the
old holding. When the new form of rent-receipt introduced by the Tenancy
Act came into force, a difficulty arose as to what area should be entered.
The landlords wished to enter the recorded area and the enhanced rental.
The raiyats objected, as this would be evidence of their acceptance of the
higher rate. In some villages they were prepared to measure the holdings on
the condition that the old rate was preserved, but they would not pay rent, or
take the new forms of receipt if they were to show the former areas at the
enhanced rentals. Nothing was done to clear up the disputes, and thus
arrears of rent accumulated.
(6) In nearly every village disputes arose as to the rates payable by head raiyats or
privileged tenants. There were a large number of such privileged raiyats
who had rendered services to the proprietors or lessees. The landlords'
papers used to show the full village rate against such tenants, but a deduction
was made at time of payment of rent. When the new form of rent-receipt
came into force, the landlords wished to show the rental at full rates on the
receipts, while the raiyats would not accept them unless they showed the special
rates. In Bhagalpur, out of 14,291 raiyats, rents were disputed in 5,075
cases. In Monghyr 8 per cent. of the rentals were disputed.
(7) In Purnea the system of accumulative holdings was a fruitful source of con-
fusion. If any raiyat died without heirs, or abandoned his holding, the
patwari would assume that his next-of-kin took possession of it without
proouring any formal agreement. The holding would be continued in the
name of the former raiyat, and certificates for arrears of rent would be
issued in his name. It frequently happened that the new tenant did not
take up the holding, or if he did, he added it to his original holding, and
then repudiated the addition of rent. As there were no measurement papers
or other trustworthy records of areas, it was very difficult to decide such
disputes.
( 237 )
(8) There was much confusion in the demarcation of village boundaries in Monghyr
and Malda. The situation of some villages, as Mahamedpur Bhelwa in
Monghyr, and of a number of scattered villages in Malda, could with great
difficulty be discovered. In several cases of boundary disputes in Monghyr
there was evidence that the patwaris had entered the names of raiyats as
cultivating disputed lands who could not be identified; and an instance
recently came to light in the decision of a boundary dispute between Koela
and Birbhas villages, where the papers produced by the representatives of
the estates are declared by the Assistant Settlement Officer to be forged.
3. The survey was carried out chiefly by a professional party under
Mr. G. B. Scott, Deputy Superintendent of the
Progress of the operations.
Survey of India Department. It was begun in
November 1887, and all the records were made over to the Settlement
Department by the end of October 1889. Mr. E. W. Collin, C.s., was
appointed Settlement Officer. The bulk of the work was accomplished by
him, and he submitted the final report of the settlement on the 7th July 1891.
What remained to be done was entrusted to Babu Barham Deo Narain, Assistant
Settlement Officer, who took over charge on the 11th May 1891, and submitted a
supplementary report on the 26th March 1892. Extracts from Mr. Collin's report
were published in a Resolution, dated the 10th December 1891, recorded on the
results of surveys and records of rights in certain
Correction of errors in the wards' estates; but the present review of the settle-
settlement records.
ment was postponed pending the result of a further
enquiry which was rendered necessary by the discovery of errors in the
settlement records after the operations had been closed and the records had been
deposited in the Collectorates of the five districts concerned. Babu Barham Deo
Narain was deputed, in January 1893, to correct any errors which might be
brought to light-a duty which occupied him for about one year. The report
now forwarded by the Board shows that there were altogether 1,597 errors in
the original records and 625 mistakes of copying in the khatian, khasra, and tirij.
The former, which alone need be taken into account, were due to the following
causes:-
(1) Mistakes made by patwaris in stating the former areas and rents of
holdings.
(2) Mistakes made in transcribing figures from one paper to another.
Arithmetical mistakes of calculation.
(4) Mistakes arising from misunderstanding of judgments and orders by
the muharrirs.
(5) Mistakes arising from omission to carry out orders in all papers.
Unaccountable mistakes, which were rare.
It may be stated that the number of tenancies entered in the khatian
amounted to 67,141, that two-thirds of the mistakes relating to the amount of
rent payable affected that amount to the extent of less than one rupee, and that
the result of the revision was that it increased the rent-roll by Rs. 1,511-2-3, and
diminished it by Rs. 1,298. Corrections have been made in red ink, both in
words and figures, in the Collector's copies of the khatians, as well as in the
copies supplied to the landlords, and in every case previous notice was given to
the party adversely affected. The raiyats copies have been corrected where
produced, but where they were not produced, a remark has been recorded on
the Collector's copy to the effect that, as far as the raiyat's copy differs from
the Collector's, to that extent the former is wrong. The total cost of this
revision amounts to Rs. 8,354.9-10. .
4. It is gratifying to find that the amount of error which has been dis-
covered in the settlement records is far less than was anticipated, and the
Lieutenant-Governor thinks that it may safely be said that it is not greater than
is likely to creep into a work involving such multiplicity of details, and carried
out by an inexperienced staff, however careful the supervision of the superior
officers may be. Sir Charles Elliott has little doubt that an equal number of
mistakes in copying, in calculating rents, and in entering the results of contested
cases, might have been found in any of the settlements with which he himself
was connected in the North-Western and Central Provinces, had they been
subjected to a similar test, and His Honour wishes emphatically to state that,
in his opinion, the discovery of these errors involves no discredit to Mr. Collin
or his Assistant, Babu Barham Deo Narain. It is, however, highly satisfactory
and advantageous to all parties that the errors have been discovered and corrected
even at the cost of so much expenditure and delay.

or about 666 square miles, the remainder having
been excluded from settlement on account of lands belonging to other pro-
, prietors having been found interlaced with the surveyed area and for other
-reasons. The total area surveyed by the professional party was 617 square
miles, while 81 square miles in pargana Daphar in Bhagalpur were surveyed
by the Settlement Department. The whole property comprises 64 revenue-
paying estates, 3 revenue-free estates, and 77 villages held under patni leases.
The revenue-free estates and fifteen of the revenue-paying estates belong
solely to the Srinagar share. The remainder are the joint property of Baneli
and Srinagar, while in two estates in Bhagalpur other proprietors also hold
shares, the area of which amounts to 1,733 acres. Of the patni estates, two
in Purnea are held jointly by Srinagar and Baneli, while the rest of the
patni villages belong solely to Srinagar. Of the total area settled, 83 per cent.
is held jointly, and 17 per cent. is held solely, by the Srinagar estate. The total
Government revenue payable by the estates is Rs. 1,13,138-12-71. The estates
are distributed in five districts and 24 parganas, as follows: the villages in
Bhagalpur and Monghyr lying in comparatively compact blocks, while those in
the three other districts are much scattered:

6. Two methods of settlement were employed. In the Daphar pargana

was made, the land held by each tenant being
classified in accordance with a system which had become customary in that
pargána. Under the second method, which was adopted for the rest of the
tract under settlement, rents were altered under Section 52 of the Tenancy Act,
according to the increase or decrease of the areas of holdings, an allowance of
two cottahs in the bigha being generally made on account of the roughness of
the old measurement; enhancement of rent being demanded only when the
excess over the old area exceeded this proportion. The settlement in the case
of excess areas was largely the result of compromise, but in 22 out of the 29
villages of pargana Akbarabad disputes regarding the length of the laggi (or
measuring rod) arose. The Settlement Officer held that the laggi was one
of five cubits, each cubit being of 18 inches, and on appeal this decision was
confirmed by the Special Judge. Even then the settlement of these twenty-two
villages had generally to be made ex parte in the absence of the raiyats, the
majority of whom resisted every effort made to induce them to attend.
7. The result of the settlement and the subsequent revision is that the

Rs. 4,88,715 to Rs. 4,88,532, or by Rs. 183. But this decrease is apparent only,
being due not to any actual reduction of rent, but to the settlement of disputes
as to existing rates, the effect of which has been to replace a fictitious by a real
demand. The net result of the settlement has been a real increase of Rs. 23,850
in the total rental, which is equal to nearly 8 per cent. on the total outlay,
including the cost of revision.
The Lieutenant-Governor, however, agrees with the Board in doubting
whether the proprietors have received all the increase which they might reason-
ably have expected, in view of the excess cultivation brought to light, and the
fact that the rents now settled will not be liable to enhancement for 15 years.

survey and settlement chargeable to the parties
according to the final adjustment of accounts accepted by the Accountant-
General is Rs. 2,98,897-3-1, which gives an average of annas 1007 per acre on
the area surveyed, and of annas 11.2 per acre on the area settled. It was
decided that the raiyats should pay two annas an acre on the area of their
holdings, and that the landlords should pay the balance of the costs according
to their several interests.
As stated in paragraph 3 of this Resolution, the total cost of the correction
of errors by Babu Barham Deo Narain amounts to Rs. 8,354-9.10. The Lieute-
nant-Governor is satisfied that in the course of the settlement proceedings every
facility was afforded to the Managers of the Srinagar and Baneli estates to
bring mistakes to notice and to have them corrected. They did not sufficiently
avail themselves of such opportunities, and although there was an interval
of upwards of a year between the delivery of the bulk of the records to the
landlords' agents and the closing of the settlement office, and a similar
interval between the latter and the deputation of Babu Barham Deo Narain to
bring mistakes to light, still the agents were not ready with complete lists of
mistakes when the Deputy Collector began the work of revision, and repeated
extensions of time had to be granted to them for their preparation, with the
result that Babu Barham Deo Narain's proceedings were unduly prolonged.
The Lieutenant-Governor has therefore accepted the Board's resommendation
that half the cost of correcting errors should be borne by the two estates, the
amount being equally divided between them, as hardly any mistakes have been
found in the records of villages belonging exclusively to the Srinagar estate.
The other half will be borne by Government.
9. When Babu Barham Deo Narain submitted his supplementary report of
26th March 1892, a sum of Rs. 50,986-5-6 was still outstanding, of which
Rs. 15,719-14-1 was due from the Srinagar estate, Rs. 34,978-7 from the
tenants, and Rs. 288-0-5 from the outside shareholders. In February last

posted to Bhagalpur in the regular line, and ordered to realize the outstanding

rirs for four months being sanctioned for his assistance. His Honour hopes that
the accounts have now been adjusted, and awaits a report from the Board on
the subject.

Of the fair rent suits five were brought by raiyats for reduction of rent, of

about half were brought by the landlords and half by raiyats, but the informa-
tion on the subject is scanty. A set of tables was promised by the Settlement
Officer showing the result of these trials, but it has not been sent in. In about

About 90 per cent. of the raiyats holding 95.2 per cent. of the raiyati
area have occupancy rights. Those holding at fixed rates pay much lower
rates of rent than the rest, but there is little difference between the rates paid
by the settled and the occupancy raiyats, and the non-occupancy raiyats
pay at a lower rate than either of these classes. Transfers of portions of
holdings are very common, and are accepted by the landlords. The under-
raiyats pay their rents in kind, and are generally liable to ejectment at any
time, being little more than the field labourers of wealthy raiyats. The
total area held on produce rents is 5,090 acres, or 1.6 of the total rent-
paying area.

Collin's settlement records in April 1891, and was
generally pleased with the way in which the latter had been prepared. His Honour
expressed some regret that more had not been done in the way of collecting
and recording facts and observations illustrating the economic and agricultural
conditions under which the tenants lived with whom Mr. Collin had been
occupied. He found that Mr. Collin had prepared a brief English report on each
village, showing its past history, prevailing tenures, &c., but in addition to this,
His Honour desired that the final report should deal intelligently and compre-
hensively with such data as could be extracted from the settlement records.
Mr. Collin accordingly gives an interesting analysis of the average size of the
holdings and the average rates of rent among the different classes of raiyats in
each district in which operations were carried on. The following summary may
be quoted from the Report:-
A
.“ Taking the general results of this comparison of holdings and rates of rent, it will
be seen that the holdings are, as a rule, large, and that, where the average size of the holding
is less than 5 sores, as in the Khubkhand pargana of Bhagalpur, and the Mahinagar pargana
of Malda, the condition of the raiyats is not entirely prosperous : but where there are large
holdings and low rates, as in Daphar and Tirakhurdah parganas, the raiyats are well to do.
The facility with which the raiyats of the Daphar pargana tided over the bad year of 1888,
compared with the distress felt in the northern tracts of Darbhanga and Muzaffarpur, confirms
this fact. Compared with the results obtained in the Muzaffarpur settlement, the position of
raiyats in the estates under settlement is more prosperous than in that district, where the
average rate of rent is Rs. 3-12 per acre and the average size of the holding only 3 acres.
It is seen also that where soil-rates exist, the average rate of rent is higher than where there
are consolidated rentsa fact which follows from the theory that the latter form of rental
only exists in traots where the soil is unfertile, cultivation backward, and the competition for
land slight."
The average rate of rents varies in the different districts as follows:

Mr. Collin writes :-
“The average rate of rent ascertained in the Muzaffarpur settlement was Rs. 3-12 per acre,
while in the Sunkerpur estate of the Dinajpur district the rate is Re. 1-9-3 per acre. It will
be seen that the rent rates in the estates are very moderate, and there is no sign of rack-
renting. In fact, the conditions of the estates are such that it would have been impossible
to force up rents in the same way as has been done in Muzaffarpur. The raiyats are, as a
rule, aware of their rights, and singularly tenacious of them. They are not subject, as in
Bihar, to the attacks of numerous landlords under the system of subdivision of estates.
The effect of the lessee system in raising rents has been felt, but not to 80 great an exent
as in Muzaffarpur, chiefly on account of the absence of competition for land. The village
system is also in greater force in the estates than in Muzaffarpur, and the raiyats stand by
each other in resisting changes of rents. On the other hand, the proprietors appear in past
years to have acted reasonably, and to have fostered good relations with their tenants, and

“ From this statement it will be seen that though the areas of holdings have increased
by 8, the net increase of rental has only been •11 per cent. I have in a previous paragraph
(paragraph 66) explained that, where there has been a decrease, it is chiefly due to the
exclusion of disputed rents. There is a further reason for the decrease in the fact that, in the
landlords' rent-rolls, remissions of rents have not been noted when a raiyat has abandoned
his holding, while at the same time, if the lands have been resettled with raiyats, the holding
has been shown twice, i.e., the abandoned holding is retained and the new holding is entered
in the rent-roll."
15. These raiyati holdings are peculiar to the Bhagalpur district, and are
prevalent for lands subject to inundation, and
Halhasili and Jaidadi tenures.
So where cultivation is precarious along the banks of
P
rivers or on sandy high lands of poor quality. Under the halhasili system a
raiyat takes up certain lands for which he pays 4 annas per bigha for the first
year, and 12 annas per bigha for the second year, and the full rate (which varies
from Re. 1-12 to Re. 1-4 in different villages) for the third year. Rent,
however, is not paid for the whole holding, but only for such lands as are
cultivated and sown with a crop. After three years the lands, if they require a
rest, are abandoned and new lands taken up. The jaidadi tenure differs from
the halhasili only in the fact that in the former case the raiyat only pays rent
for the land on which a crop is found at harvest time. If the crop of any field
is totally lost, the raiyat pays rent for only 2 cottahs or one-tenth per bigha.
If the crop has not been injured, the raiyat pays rent on nine-tenths of the
area.

It is stated that, if the season is favourable, half a maund of cocoons will
be reared from a bigha of mulberry land at each breeding season, or "bund.”
The cocoons sell at Rs. 30 to Rs. 35 per maund, so that in a good season the
total outturn amounts to Rs. 64 per bigha of 2,500 square yards, the cost of
cultivation being Rs. 18 per bigha. The rent is a small item in the cost, being
only 10 annas per bigha. The rearing of cocoons is, however, a risky opera-
tion, and the “bunds” often fail, especially those of July and September.
The best bunds are in December and March. In good seasons the mulberry
plant sells at from Re. 1 to Rs. 2 per maund, each bigha producing 10 maunds.
Mr. Collin estimates that, taking the average of years, the profits of mulberry
cultivation cannot be less than Rs. 25 per bigha of 2,500 square yards, which
is equivalent to Rs. 48 per acre.

no real attempt was being made to maintain the
records and correct the maps. The Manager of
the Srinagar estate was absent at Allahabad, but the Manager of the Baneli
estate informed him that he was endeavouring to keep up a mutation register, in
which it was found that only a small number of mutations relating to transfers
by sale had been registered, transfers by succession not being registered at all.
Mr. Finucane suggested that copies of the khasra and khatian relating to
each village should be given to the patwari, who should be called upon to
report the mutations annually in a form devised by him; that an amin should
verify the patwari's statements by local enquiry; and that alterations found
necessary should be made in the khatians in the tahsil office, or that supplementary
khatians should be prepared, under the sub-manager's orders. This and the
recording of mutations by sale reported by the purchasers may help to maintain
something like a correct record of existing facts, and the Board of Revenue have
been requested to submit a report in April 1895, showing what use has been
made by the manager of Mr. Finucane's suggestions.
18. His Honour desires to acknowledge the care and ability with which
Mr. Collin conducted the operations entrusted to him. Credit is also due to
Babu Barhamdeo Narain for the work done by him under Mr. Collin, and
subsequently in connection with the correction of errors in the records.
