MEMOIR ON THE STATISTICS OF THE NORTH WESTERN PROVINCES. 1 . The late settlement of the North Western Provinces has provided many statistical facts, which it is of importance to bring together and to place on record with precision. 2. Efforts have been repeatedly made during the course of the few last years to accompUsh this object, but considerable diffi- culty has been experienced in it, not only from the obstacles which always prevent the attairnnent of accuracy, but also from the changes, which frequently occur in official arrangements in India. 3. It is hoped that some degree of accuracy has been attained in the revised Statistical Return, which will be found annexed to this Memoir. In order to create the greater confidence in the correctness of the facts stated, the present Memoir is compiled so as to place permanently on record the mode in which the information was collected, and the authority on which each of the facts rests. 4. The Hon'ble Court of Directors in their despatch of June 3d, 1846, allude to one of the earliest attempts on the part of the local Government to collect these facts, in the following terms : — Extracts Paras. IG to 10 from a despatch from the Hoii'ble the Court of Directors, dated 'Sd June, 1 846. " 16. It will be observed that the greater part of the instruc- tions above are designed to ensure accuracy, the importance of which we have already adverted to. Itis the more necessary to dwell upon this point, in as much as some previous attempts to afford statistical information are unsatisfactory, because ob- viously incorrect.^' *•' 17. Thus in a calculation made of the population of the * Vide Statements of the extent and North Western Provinces in population of British India as officially returned by the Searcher of Records of 1826,* (excluding the ceded the East India Company in first.

Tlius rejecting fractions it would give a population of 484 to the square mile ; while in an estimate of the population of the principal portion of the lower Provinces of the Bengal Presidency in 1822, the amount is given at 37,503,265, and the amount in square miles (ascer- tained as in the North Western Provinces by measurement upon a map) at 153,802, affording no more than 243 inhabitants to the square mile, little more than half the number claimed for the North Western Provinces, notwithstanding tliat the Lower Provinces contain the great cities of Calcutta, Dacca, Moor- sliedabad and Patna, and the populous tracts around them." " 18. But the population of China, universally considered * Census taken in 1812. Vide Davis's one of the most densely peopled China, page 413. countries is, according to the highest native* estimate, only 277 to the square mile." '' 19. Further, in a statement of the statistics of the North Note.— According to Mr. McCulloch, Western Provinces, printed by vide Geograniiical Dictionary, vol. I, i r .i r • . r^ page 852. the relative density of the ""^^r of the Lieut.-Governor, population of France, abounding as it ;„id bearing date the 25th does in capital manufactures and large towns, is only 1(1410 the square mile. February 1842, exhibiting a view of the area and population of twenty-two districts, con- stituting by far the larger portion of those Provinces, we observe particulars which leads us to suspect that even this latter docu- ment is not ti'ustwoi'thy. Aligurh, a district without any con- siderable town, is stated to have an agricultural population of 56,679, and a non-agricultural population exceeding it more than eleven times, the number given being 6,44,499 ; while the district of Benares, containing the great and populous city of the same name, winch, with its suburbs, has been estimated to contain 200,000 souls, is said to have 299,167 agricultural in- habitants, and only 145,940 non-agricultural.'^ " 20. We notice these extraordinary errors, that we may impress upon those who may be called upon to act upon our present orders, the necessity of employing such vigilance and attention as may be sufficient to guard against the transmission hereafter of any statement so deficient in accuracy." 5. When this letter arrived measures were already in progress for correcting the known errors of the early tables, and under date Oct. 22d, 1846, the following letter was addressed to all Collectors of Land Revenue. CIRCULAR No. From Secretary to the Government N. W. Provinces, To Dated Agra, the 22d of October, 1846. General Department, N. TV. P. Sir, I. You will have already received a printed copy of the Honorable Court's despatch of the 3rd June last, on the sub- ject of Statistical enquiries in India, and you will have ob- served in paragraph 19, a reference to the inaccuracies con- tained in a certain Statistical Table printed under the Orders of this Government hi 1842. 2. A revised Table is now furnished, compiled as accurately as can be effected from the sources of information available at Ao-ra. It is, however, known that considerable errors still exist in the Table, and the object of the present Circular letter is to draw your attention to the subject, and to invite your co-opera- tion in the compilation of a more trustworthy document. 3. The Columns showing the Area, No. 3—9, and those showing the population, 19 — 24, are those only which call for comment. 4. Errors in the Columns of Area, arise from the following causes. 1st. The alteration of the limits of districts since the entry was made. .2nd. The omission of rent-free Mouzahs, or parts of Mouzahs, of Istumraree Estates, or Talookahs, or of unassessed tracts of jungle, or waste land. All such lands should be entered and shown under their appropriate head. 3rd. The retention on the list of Mouzahs, (as Towfeer, Gung Shekust, &c.) the lands of which have, at the time of the last survey, been thrown into other Mouzahs, or have been shown to be non-existent. 5. The Table should show the Area of all Mouzahs and tracts of land comprised within the limits of each district, on May 1st 1846. Unassessed tracts of barren land may be shown as one or more Mouzahs according as they naturally form one or more plots of ground, or have been formed into separate allotments. Each grant of forest land may be considered as one Mouzah, unless there exist an authoritative division of it into separate Mouzahs. 6. The Columns of the population have been filled up from different sources ; sometimes from the Revenue Surveyor's returns, sometimes from the statements in reports regarding Education, or from Settlement Reports, or from new censuses taken subsequently to settlement^ and separately reported by the Collectors. 7. They are subject to inaccuracies arising from carelessness or wilful concealment, as well as from the omission of existinc; Mouzahs, or the retention of excluded Mouzahs. The Revenue Survey is found sometimes to have shown only the adult male population, and to have omitted the population of large Cities. 8. In proceeding to correct the entry regarding any district, it will be necessary to ascertain how far the existing data can be depended upon and then to apply the necessary corrections. 9. For this purpose Mouzahwar Lists* for every Tuhseel- * mu T • .t 1, ij u 1 J darrv should be drawn out, in * These Lists should be corapiled ac- - ' cording to the directions in para. 45, of the Vernacular language, so as the Directions for Settlement Officers. , i-i-,.i ^ • p k to exhibit the entries of Area, Jumma and population, according to the heading of Col : — 4 — 10 and 19 — 23, so far as means are available, in the Sudder Office. 10. These should be sent to each Tuhseeldar, and he should be required to test the entries in a few Mouzahs, taken at ran- dom and specified. 11. So far as Area is concerned the test need not involve re-measurement, but may simply consist of comparison with the records at the time of the last measurement, on which the Settlement was founded. It is not likely that much error will exist in these entries. 12. The population returns may be tested by rough estimate of the number of houses in each village, which may be ascer- tained from the Chowkeedar, the Putwarree, or a person specially deputed for the purpose. 13. The existing returns regarding the population may be so incomplete or incorrect that a new census may be necessary. 8 14. In such census it will only be necessary lo separate the people into the classes mentioned in the Table. Separation into males and females, of boys and girls, is useless, because these classes will not be accurately reported, nor will the dis- tinctions be uniformly observed. 15. All persons who derive their subsistence, in whole or in part from the land, whether in the form of wages or rent, should be shown as cultivators, even though they may have other sources of income. 1(5, Any census based on actual enumeration of the people, will probably be vexatious and erroneous. It will be better to rest the calculation on the number of houses or families. 17. A house or family must be defined according to its local signification ; perhaps it may generally be defined as a family living together, inhabiting a distinct part of a tenement, or the whole of one or more tenements, in the same enclosure. 18. The number of houses or families being thus ascertained, the number of persons actually resident in a certain number of such houses may be counted, and the average may be applied to the whole. The value of the result will depend upon the care and the discrimination with which this is done. 19. The enumeration should take place in those houses or villages where the object of the process is most likely to be understood, and where the co-operation of the zemindars and other influential inhabitants can be secured. 20. Distinct averages should be assumed for different classes of the inhabitants. Thus the average in cities or towns may be different from what it is in villages, the average in puckha houses, from that in cutcha houses ; the average in one purgun- nah, from that in another ; in Mahomedan families from that in Hindoo families, or Brahmin or Rajpoot families, from that ill Chumar or Passee families. 9 2J. The returns when «^iven in by tlie Tuhseeldiirs should be tested by the Collector. This is easily effected when the details are given Mouzahwar, for if the returns for a few Mou- zahs, taken indiscriminately, are found to be correct, the whole may be assumed to be so. 22. The following general rules may be found useful in judg- ing of the accuracy of returns regarding population. 23. The average number of persons to a house or family is be- tween 4 and 5. From peculiar circumstances, in certain locali- ties, it may fall below or rise above this standard. 24. The average number of persons to a square geographical mile of 847*2 acres, in the chief coun- Belgium, 392 ^^.j^^ • ^^ Europe, is given in the margin. British Isles, 2-il» i ^ o o France, 208 There is good reason to suppose that Writembe'rg," !!.!*.!! .* 266 the averages in the well peopled parts Tuscany, 302 ^^ j^^^jj^ .^^.^ higher than in the mosf Sweden, 22 » '' Norway 11 populous countrics of Europe.

The cause of this, in some measure is, that females are considered to have passed from girl-hood, at an earlier age than males from boy-hood. 26. When the returns from the Tuhseeldaries have been re- ceived, tested, and approved, revised copies of the Mouzahwar Vernacular returns, and a Pergunnahwar Abstract in English, in the form of the accompanying Table is to be forwarded to Government by the Collectors, through the Commissioner and Sudder Board of Revenue. 27. As regards each Pergunnah, it must be explained in a separate Report, or in the Column of remarks, how all the entries regarding the Area and the population have been made, B 10 as for instance the year of measurement, the mode of survey, whether according to the European scientific, or the native khusrah method, the year of census, the mode of estimate, &c. 28. I am desired to take this opportunity of pointing out that advantage might easily be taken of the Putwarree's papers to obtain valuable information annually, regarding the popula- tion of the district as well as the Area. The Area is shown in No. II. of the Putvvaree's jjapers, (Circular Order of the Sudder Board of Revenue, No. III. Appendix No. XLVIL), and it would be easy to obtain an additional memorandum, showing the number of the population at the close of the year, classified as in the accompanying Table, with a note of the number of births, and deaths, during the year, discriminating males from females, adults from children ; and Mahomedans from Hindoos. Information of this nature, if correctly given, would be very valuable, but it should not be peremptorily required at present at least, in opposition to the feelings or prejudices of the people. 29. In conckision I am desired to impress upon you that the object of all enquiries of the nature here indicated, is to direct the Government in the assumption of measures which shall be most for the good and happiness of the people. If the people are themselves imable to understand this, and if the diligent prosecution of the enquiry, either from the dishonesty of the Agents employed, or from the ignorant apprehensions of the people, becomes the cause of loss or injury to them, it will be better to desist at present from the enquiry, or to be satisfied with a less degree of accuracy, than might be otherwise obtain- ed. It is believed that the alarm once felt at enquiries of this nature, has already much decreased, and it may be hoped that it will altogether disappear, as information is extended and as greater confidence is felt in the good faith of the Government. You will be especially watchful to guard against abuses, on the part of Agents whom you may employ, either to furnish the returns themselves or to test their accuracy. Unless the objects of the enquiry are explained to the people, and unless 11 trustworthy Agents are selected, and kept under strict control, mis-understandings and discontent will certainly prevail. 30. A few copies of a translation into the Vernacular language of this letter arc forwarded for circulation amongst the Tuh- seeldarsj and other persons, whom you may employ in the enquiry. (Signed) J.

The letters and accompanying Rough Statistical Tahlc were translated into Oordoo, and also extensively circulated, in order that the native as well as the European Officers of the Government might be fully apprised of the object in view. 7. Some of the returns to this call were made in the early part of 1847 and the examination of them called forth the following Circular, dated November 15th, 1847. No. of 1847. CIRCULAR. From To J. THORNTON, Esq. Secretary to Government, N. W. P. COLLECTOR OF Dated Agra, the \bth November, 1847. General Department, N. TV. P. Sir, With reference to the printed Circular, dated 22nd October 1846, calling for Statistical returns from the several district Officers, I am desired by the Lieutenant Governor to remind you that the approaching cold season affords a favorable oppor- tunity for examining and testing the returns which you have received from the Tuhseeldars ; if you cannot attend to the subject yourself you should entrust it to one of your subordi- nates. The examination of the existing returns should be made, whether or not you have already forwarded your report to the Government. 2. The examination of such returns as have been made shows that the entries regarding the population are still open to much suspicion. 3. The delinition of a house or family and the sfrounds on Mhich the number of souls to a house or family is stated re- 15 quires to be very carefully examined, and the mode as well as the result of the examination to be fully stated. 4. Care does not seem to be generally taken in discriminat- ing between the agricultural and non-agricultui-al Classes. On referring to para. 15 of the former printed Circular, you will observe that the members of all families who derive their sup- port or any part of their income from the cultivation of land are to be entered as agricultural, whether or not they actually hold the plough or personally conduct the usual agricultural operations. 5. The Lieutenant Governor hopes that you will Avithout fail, at the termination of the cold season, furnish the desired Statistical Report for each Pergunnah of your district, I have the honor to be. Sir, Your Obedt. humble Servant, (Signed) J. THORNTON, Secretary to Govt. N. W. P. Ayr a, the loth November, 184/. 8. In the cold season of 184/ — 1848 the Lieutenant Governor made an official tour through the districts of Mynpoory, Futty- gurh, Budaon, Shahjehanpore, Barreilly, Mooradabad, Bijnour, Suharunpore, Moozuffurnuggur, Meerut, Delhi, Goorgaon and Muttra. In all these districts the Statistical data collected by the Local Officers, were the subject of examination and discussion. 9. On March 4th and April 17th, 1848, the following Circular letters w^ere issued. If) No. 273 of 1848. From To THORNTON, ESQUIRE, Secretary to Government, N. W. P. THE COLLECTORS OF THE N. W. P. Bated Agra, the 4th March, 1848. Sir, Referring to the printed Circulars noted in tlie Margin, I am Oct. 22d, 1846.1 desired ^^ express the earnest desire of the Nov. 15th, 1847. /Lieutenant Governor that the Revised Statistical returns regarding the Area and population of your district may be forwarded direct to this Office by the 1 5th of April next at the latest, in order that the Statement for the whole of the Provinces may be completed on an early date. 2. It is of some importance that with the return there should also be furnished a report explaining the process by which the results have been obtained. As regards the population especi- ally the mode of enumeration should be described and the process explained by which the first returns were tested and corrected. If you have not leisure to draw up this yourself, a Kyfeeut in the vernacular language, compiled by any of your subordinate officers who is conversant with the subject, will be sufficient ; under any circumstances however the despatch of the papers should not be delayed beyond the date specified above. 3. As soon as the returns and reports are complete it is in- tended to prepare a full abstract of them, and to print and pub- lish it for general information. A translation of the abstract into Oordoo will also be published. I have, &c. (Signed) J. THORNTON, Secretary to Govt. N. W. P. Ayra, Ike Ath March, 1848. From To 17 CIRCULAR. No. 498. J. THORNTON, ESQUIRE, Secretary to Government, N. W. P. THE COLLECTOR OF Bated Agra, the IJth April, 1848. General Department, N. W. P. Sir, With reference to my Circular letter No. 273, dated March 4th, 1848, I am desired to call to your recollection that the Revised Statistical Return, required by my printed Circular of Oct. 22d, 1846, has not yet been furnished. 2. The Lieutenant Governor requests that you will explain the cause of the delay. I have, &c. (Signed) J. THORNTON, Secretary to Goveryiment, N. IF. P. Agra, the IJth April, 1848. 10. The following detail gives in the words of the returning officers, or from other sources, whatever is essential to a right appreciation of the correctness of the return, or is otherwise interesting in itself. H. The districts are arranged according to the order in which they stand in the General Statistical Table for the whole Provinces.

Roberts, the officiating Collector, furnished the following remarks on the above statement, under date the 30th Jul y, 1847:— " The District of Dehlie was surveyed according Survey. ^^ ^^^ scientific method in the year 1830-31, but at the time of the revised settlement by Mr. Martin Gubbins in 1841-42, every village was re-measured according to the native Khusreh mode. The settlement was founded upon this last measurement ; and the entries regarding the area in the ac- companying statement are the result of the Khusreh survey. "A census of the district population was District Census. ^^^^^ ^^ ^^ predecessor, Mr. John Lawrence, towards the end of the year 1845, and I have every reason to believe that it was as accurate as could be expected. The Tuhseeldars were employed on this work, which was effected through the agency of the Putwarrees, though the Pergunnah Officers were made responsible for the correctness of the returns, and were required to test them. " Unfortunately the people were not separated into the two great classes of agriculturists and non-agriculturists, but were numbered as Males and Females. The Tuhseeldars have now been employed in separating the population into these two divisions. " I am inclined to think that the district population is rather under-estimated. The disproportion between Males and Fe- males in the census of 1845, is too great, the number of males being made to exceed females beyond what is reasonable, but I nevertheless believe that the census is wonderfully correct, and quite sufficiently so for all general purposes. " I have therefore assumed it as the basis of the present return, and no great or unaccountable variations have been dis- covered by the Tuhseeldars during their recent inquiries. 29 Where there has been any ground for suspocliiig error I have personally enquired into the matter. " In the Northern Pergunnah there are Northern Pernunnah. ,,„„ „ , • i 6b\) persons to a (aeographical square mile, ajid on an average 465 persons to each village, but of 161 villajres 23 are in ruins and not inhabited, the Zumeendars and cultivators living in neighbouring villages, so that there are on an average 542 persons to each inhabited village. The largest vil- lage not being a Qusbah, is Nahree, and contains a population of 2,199 souls. The smallest is Gurhee Rindhala, with only 84 inhabitants. The industrious Jats abound in this Pergun- nah. ** At the time of Census there were recorded 14.697 Hindoo families, and 1,411 Mahomedan families in the Northern Per- gunnah. This gives 4.681 persons to a Hindoo family, and 4.543 to a Mahomedan family. The Pergijnnah average is 4.650. *' There is much uncertainty in fixing an average for the dif- ferent castes. For instance among the Jats, I have taken the average of 7 villages of pretty much the same population. In one village, Moondka, I find there were as many as 8 persons to a family, or 7-927, and in another, Peetumpore, only 4.169. It depends of course on the degree of unanimity prevailing among the brotherhood. I am satisfied however that the aver- age number of persons to a Jat family is high. The result of these 7 villages, counting of course only Jat famihes, is 5.356. The result of 6 Aheer villages is 4.696. There are but four villages in this Pergunnah of which the proprietors are Maho- medans, and they have on an average as many as 7-081 persons to each family. " In the Southern Pergunnah we have Southern Pergunnah. i t-»or <-. only 28o persons to a square Geographi- cal mile. The average number of persons to a village is 287, 30 but of 248 villages as many as 59 are uninhabited and in ruins, which gives un average of 377 persons to each inhabited village. The largest village, Bhopuneea, contains a population of 2,000 persons, and the smallest, Toghanpore, only 15 inhabitants. There are several Goojar villages in this Pergunnah, but Jats predominate. " In this Pergunnah the total number of families was 14,174, which gives an average of just 5 persons to a family. The average number of persons to a family in 7 Jat villages is 5.928. In 6 Goojur villages the average number is 5.569. In 5 Tugga villages the average is 4.151. In 6 Aheer villages it is 5.021. In 7 Mahomedan villages in this Pergunnah, the average number of persons to a family is 5.168. ^' The Mofussil population is at the rate of 327 persons to a square Geographical mile. By adding the population of the city and suburb, we got 676 persons to the square mile. Cal- culating 409 villages in the District, we should have on an average 357 persons to a village, but if we deduct the 82 un- inhabited villages, we have 447 persons to each village. Most of these uninhabited villages were nothing more than hamlets, and they all seem to have been depopulated in the great famine of the year 1840 Sumbut. Their proprietors live in the neigh- bouring large villages, and indeed in many instances the Zumeendars of the large villages are also proprietors of the lands of these hamlets. *' There were several difficulties in the Census of the Cihi. , c , ■ ^ N. B. the palace is not commencement ot the census, and one or included. two abortive attempts before every thing could be properly arranged. 1st. It was necessary to construct a form which should contain all the necessary information and yet be so simple as not to impede the Agents employed in the work. 31 2nd. It was to be decided what ages should constitute men and women, and boys and girls. It was ruled that males above 12 should be considered men, and under that age boys ; and females above 10 should be enumerated as women, and under that age girls. Notwithstanding the selection of these early ages, the tendency of the people was to consider still younger persons as men and women. 3rd. It was necessary to provide that persons should not be counted twice over, viz. at their shops and at their dwelling houses. This was done by dividing shops into those of one story, and those of two or more stories. It was found that shops of one story are almost always used as mere shops, and are shut up at night, the owners and their servants retiring to their dwelling houses. The rule therefore was that unless a person or family lived absolutely in their shops and had no other dwelling they were not to be registered at the shop, but at the dwelling house. Two-storied shops are almost always dwelling places. "The modus operandi was as follows, several Mohurrirs were sent into certain wards of the city with blank forms for each Mohulla. The Mohurrirs were accompanied by the Chowkedar and sweeper of the street, but the Police exercised no interference whatever. As soon as it was reported that a Mohulla was completed, I used to go and test the census. At first I would visit perhaps every other house in a Mohulla, and found the enumeration and all the other particulars very correct. In this way the census of half the city was finished when I was deputed to Agra on duty. '' During my absence Ram Surn Doss, the Deputy Collector, tested the remainder of the census, as Mr. Saunders, who offici- ated in my place was in very bad health ; I must add however that before his illness Mr. Saunders most willingly assisted me in my part of the work. 32 " I have no hesitation therefore in expressing my belief that the census now submitted is trust-worthy, and indeed very accurate, and I must take this opportunity of stating that the people evinced no disinclination whatever to the work, but most readily afforded the information required. ^' It will not fail to be observed that the Proportion of Males ^^^.j ^f ^^^^^^ exceeds the total number to bemales, of females, but the difference is only 1.500, and although as a general rule in European statistics, there are more females than males, I have before me now a table of the population of each county in Great Britain in 1841, from which it appears that there are many exceptions to this rule. " The statement shows that the Hindoos Average number of . persons to a family. have not quite 4 persons, on an average to a family. The number is 3.714, or close upon 3|. The Mahomedans have on an average 4^ persons to a family, or 4.477. The average of the city is exactly 4 or 4.044. " If we allow that the Hindoos did not give the true number of their women and girls, and such I believe to be the case, for Hindoo males exceed the females by some 3,000, by adding this number to the total of Hindoos, we should have an average of 4 persons to a Hindoo family, and the number of females would slightly exceed that of males in the total population. "The custom of early marriages among Hindoos will always offer an obstacle to a very correct census, especially in a large city, unless the whole census be made in some very short time. For instance a Hindoo girl of 7 is married, perhaps it would be more correct to say betrothed, though the natives look upon it as a marriage. The child goes backwards and forwards from her father's to her father-in-law's house until she arrives at the age of 12 or 14, when she goes for good to her husband's house. 33 "This custom caused no little confusion at first but at last it was made a rule that a married girl should invariably be registered in her husband's family. This might prevent the same person being enumerated twice, but I fear some omissions took place. " The total number of houses and shops in House-room. , '■ the city is 3.5,556. If we deduct 7861, or the number of pukka shops of one story, we shall have 27,695 dwelling places for the population, which will give very nearly an average of 5 persons to each house, or 4.982. See Facts and Figures " ^^ England in the year 1831 there 1^0. 3, December Xst/lMl, ^^gre on the average 5.7 persons to a PageA'i. ° ^ house. In 1841, the average was 5.3, showing that families have more house-room than they had. If our data be correct, and I do not doubt them, Dehlie is still better off for house-room than the average of England. But we have no house and window tax, no duty on slates and tiles. These have been repealed only within tiie last few years at home, and doubtless the number of houses will increase. In Middlesex the average number of persons to a house was J.^ in 1831, and 7-7 in 1841, which shows a still greater want of house-room, but there is a greater number of large houses in London than elsewhere, which must be taken into account. " In the immediate vicinity of the city there are Suburbs. p i • . several very thickly populated places, of which nearly all the inhabitants are non-agricultural, and in fact re- gular townspeople, — Teleewara, Puhargunge, Trevelyangunge ; and all these places are the Islington, Clerkenwell, &c. of Dehlie. " Of course these places are within the boundaries of certain villages, and yet they cannot be included in the Mofussil popu- lation. For instance, no fewer than 8 of these towns, with a population of nearly 14,000 souls, are on the lands of Mouzah E 34 Jehanooma, but there is no village of Jehaiiooma. The debris of old Delilie covers its area, which is all the property of Gov-ernment, and is let out chiefly for grazing. With the in- creasing growth and prosperity of the city these suburbs have sprung up and flourish. " Mr. Lawrence made an excellent census of these places, but did not separate the people into agriculturists and non-agricul- turists. " Of the accuracy of the return there can be no doubt, as in the first place, Mr. Lawrence tested it in person ; 2dly, an exa- mination of the details proves the fact, and lastly, there is no great difference between the former census and that which has just been made in order to ascertain the number of cultivators. '' A very remarkable similarity between the population of the city and of the suburbs may be observed in many respects. In the suburbs the Hindoos have on an average of some thing less than 4 persons to a family, the number being 3.952. Now the Mahomedans have 4^ or 4.448. The average of the total popu- lation of the suburbs is 4.101, or almost exactly the same as that within the walls. ^' In the matter of house-room, as might be expected, the in- habitants of the suburbs are better off than the Town people. Deducting shops of one story and shops built of mud, we have 5,739 dwelling houses, which gives a house to every 3^ persons, the exact number being 3.537 persons to a house. *' The census just made by me of the population of the suburbs shows an increase of 1,998 persotis. Some allowance must be made for the ice-makers and other hamlets not included in Mr. Lawrence's return, and the vest will be accounted for by the annual increase of population by births, the influx of stran- gers and travellers, and other causes incidental to large and thriving suburbs." 35 18.

The Collector of the District, Mr. F. R. Davidson, supplied on March 30th, 1848, the following information, with reference to the preparation of his statistical return : — " The process by which these results have been obtained as regards the Land Revenue and area is that i-ecommended in 8, 9 and 11 Paras, of the Circular No. 1139, dated 22nd Octo- ber 1846. '^ The ascertainment of the population was obtained by actual enumeration of each member of a family, and a family was con- sidered to be those members of a relationship having their expenditure for food, clothing, &c., in common. ^^ This enumeration was prepared in the Agristic villages by the Canoongoes and Putwarries, assisted by the Chowkeedars, who received their information from the heads of the villages and families. '^ In the towns the enumeration was made by the heads of MohuUahs and families, at the instance of the Police, and where a Chowkeedaree establishment existed, through their interven- tion. ^' The returns were in the first instance carefully tested by the Tuhseeldars, and again at random in many instances by my- self, and latterly the results were most satisfactory, and from much concurring internal evidence, I am satisfied they are very generally accurate ; for instance, in those Pergunnahs where there was much forest land the population to the square mile is scanty, and vice versa where the land has been for a long period extensively cultivated, and where Towns occur there is likewise an increase in the population to the square mile." 28. The Collector calculated the total number of families to be 99,205, giving an average of 5,4 to each house. 2 F 44 29. With reference to Col. 6, he stated that since the settle- ment in 1838, or in 8 years, the cultivated area had increased hy 79,1. '32 acres, the present actual area of land under cultivation being 7,60,269 acres. 30. The following abstract made from the Mouzawar verna- cular returns furnished by the Collector, distinguishes the towns and villages of the district into classes according to their popu- lations : — Number with less than 1000 Inhabitants, 1370 Ditto more than 1000 and less than .5000 ditto, . 72 Ditto ditto 5000 ditto 10,000 ditto,. . 3* Ditto ditto 10,000 ditto .30,000 ditto,. . 2t Ditto ditto 50,000 ditto,. .

(iu1)l)ins,Riil)niitteil his statistical table on the 19th April 1848, and remarked that the area of the district as recorded in the otfice from settlement records was found so completely at variance with the Revenue Survey that it had been found necessary to reconstruct the M'hole, and that this had been done under the superintendence of his assistant, Mr. E. Bayley, who had taken great pains to secure accuracy in the return. Subsequently being called upon for an explanation of the process by which the results given were obtained, he submitted on the 9th May 1848, the following remarks : " The total area of each Pergunnah has been taken from the Revenue Survey Maps, Mouzahwar. The cultivated, Lakhiraj, and barren lands have been taken from the settlement records, and the difference between the three last and the total area has been put down as culturable area. These have again been total- led for the Pergunnahwar statement. In some instances discre- pancies were found to exist between the professional survey maps and settlement records, owing to diluvion and alluvion ; in such cases the native measurements have been used. 54 " The survey measurement entries have been tal. o a> 0050CO.— ia)Oto^— ii^coc> CO CO 6,99,093 49!) c CO i •F?ox ajo^roococcoo.—coo-i'jf looc^ooo^ iot^<-.c<:)CDO '^" -^ o -r" ■^" Oi CO o iC CO o .ri u^r «O-<*l^t^C0C0C0«O-3iOT)iiX>Tl< »>. o o^ o r-l Mahouiedan and others not Hindoo. •ji?.in:iin9 -iaSv-uo|>j -TTOOODOOO.— l-t<~0«OCO-q< ■^■^QOoJoico-^t^ifSOirs-^o CO OS 00 00 -n^inouSy ^4 O -f O iO O .O »>.

Mr. Hutchinson, Officiating Deputy Collector of the Allyghur district, furnished the following particulars explanatory of the preparation of the above table, in a report to the Col- lector, dated April 25th, 1848 :— " I directed the preparation in the Sudder Office of Mouzahwar lists for each Tehseeldaree, exhibiting the entries of area and Jumma ; but not of population, as the census of this district taken in 1845, was, in the case of two Tehseeldarees, a Pcrgun- nahwar, not a Mouzahwar one, and further, with reference to the evidently excessive rate of population to the square mile given by it as shown in column 24 of the statement forwarded by Govern- ment, I considered that a new census was necessary. In these Mouzahwar lists, the columns of cultivated, culturable and Lakhiraj areas were filled up by the conversion of Beeghas into acres from the Nekasee papers of 1253 F. S. in preference to the settlement records, chiefly to secure greater accuracy in the Lakhiraj areas, in which extensive changes have occurred since the Regulation IX. 1833, settlement by the resumption or re- lease of tenures. " The lists so prepared were sent to the several Tehseeldars, and after their revision, were returned to the Sudder Office ; there the columns of total area were filled up by my dictation from the map books of the surveys of this district made between the years 1832 and 1840, and the barren areas w^ere then found by subtracting the amounts of the cultivated, culturable, and Maafee areas, from the total areas given by the professional survey. Owing to portions of some Mouzahs having been in- cluded on account of local situation in the land of other Mou- zahs in the professional survey, I found, in a few cases, that the amount of the cultivated, culturable and Maafee areas exceeded the Surveyor's total area ; in these cases I have left the barren column in the Mouzahwar lists blank, and have therefore been obliged to form the Pergunnahwar barren area, not by adding up the Mouzahwar barren areas, but by subtracting the amount of the total cultivated, culturable and Maafee areas from the 62 total area of the Pergunnah, and givi)ig the result as the barren waste area. " There is a difference of 283j*q square miles in the total area of this district, as given in the accompanying statement, in ex- cess of that given in column 4 of the Government statement above alluded to. If the Surveyor's books are correct, the area given by me is also correct, as it has been taken entirely from them in all but tvro instances, viz. Mouzah Syn, annexed from Mynpoory, the survey map of which Mouzah has not been re- ceived here, nor can be found in the Mynpoory Office, and Mouzah Buhadoorpore, the area of which was included without any distinction in that of Sathree, trransferred to Muttra. In these two cases, the total area has been taken from the settlement records. On looking also at the map of this district, you will find that the narrowest width from east to west is 40 miles, and the least length from north to south is 38 miles, which alone gives a product of 1520 square miles. " The columns of population have been thus filled up. A form was issued to the Tehseeldars containing separate columns for Pukka and Kutcha houses of Hindoo cultivators and non-culti- vators, and for Pukka and Kutcha houses of Mussulman culti- vators and non-cultivators, according to which they were requir- ed to prepare statements of the number of inhabited houses, exclusive of shops, chowpauls, nohirehs, temples, mosques, &c. in each village. In a few towns, selected for the purpose, they were ordered to take a census of the resident inhabitants. Ra- jah Teekum Singh, of Moorsaun, Daood Khan, of Bheekumpore, and Bunseedhur of BuUah, were also requested to send in a cen- sus of a few large villages in their estates. To them, as well as to the Tehseeldars, translations of the Government Circulars were sent, and the definition of a house given in Para. 1 7 of tiiat Circular, was explained both in writing and verbally. The re- turns of houses in the villages of their different divisions have been filled up by the Tehseeldars through the Putwarries. I have not been able to test them as carefully as I could have wished ; but as far as I am able to judge, they are trustworthy. 63 In those towns and villages where an actual enumeration of houses and inhabitants has taken place, the testing has been a severer one, and has been thus applied. I collected tiie Cho- keedar, the Bullahur, the Mohullahdar, the Putwaree, and the Canongoe, and went with them from house to house, requiring the head man of each family to give the number of souls in his family living together. I found no trouble in getting at the real truth ; for even if the headman wished to diminish the num- bers of his family, he was at once corrected by the Chokeedar, or Bullahur or some neighbour in the crowd that stood around. The result of the enquiries at each house was written down on the spot. In this manner, in 7 towns I had counted 2,238 houses containing 10,048 inhabitants, when I was obliged by ill health to come into the station. The Native Deputy Col- lector was then sent out to finish the testing on the same plan that I had pursued, and which I explained to him ; he counted 2,313 houses, containing 11,765 inhabitants. From this enu- meration, made by myself and the Native Deputy Collector, I have been able to frame the following Tehseelwar rates : — Tehseeldarees. Hindoos. Mussulmans. Cultivators. Non cultivators. Cultivators. Non cultivators. Kutcha Pucka. Kutcha Pucka. Kutcha Pucka. Kutcha Pucka. Coel Uglas Tuppuhl .... Akberabad .. Atrowlee .... Sekundra Rao Khyr Hattrass. 6^- 5 5 H 5 5 5 H 5 Si H 4i 4 4i 4* 4t H H H 3^ H 5 41 H 8 7 6 6 H H 6i 8 7-3. 7 6 12 m H 8 4# 4f 4i 4| 4i 5 4| 42 ^3 4| 8f 4| H H 6 4| H " These rates, applied to the returns of houses furnished by the Tehseeldars, have produced the results recorded in columns 19-23 of the accompanying statement. ^^The total amount of the population of the District by this estimate is less than the census of 1845 by 26,805 souls ; the rates of population to the square mile in the different Tehsee- lees are very different : the high rates in Coel and Hattrass are 64 caused by there being several large towns in those Tehscelees, as Coel, Birrowlee^ Hattrass, Moorsaun, Sasnee, Mehndoo, &c. The Pergunnahs of Uglass Tehseelee are certainly the most populous parts of the District ; besides the Mouzahs noted in the Statement, they contain upwards of 200 large hamlets. "The variations between the entries in Col. 1 1-13, of the accompanying Statement, and the corresponding entries in the rough Statement sent by Government, have been necessarily caused by the variations in Col. 5-9. '^ In the Mouzahwar entries of population, which are the products of the Pergunnah rates multiplied into the number of houses of each kind, fractions have been omitted, to avoid the loss which would have occurred by this omission, the Pergunnah totals of population have been formed by applying the Pergun- nah rates to the Pergunnah totals of houses, and not by adding the Mouzahwar entries. The difference between the entry in Col. 10 of this Statement, and the corresponding entry in the Statement sent by Government has been caused by the reten- tion in the latter Statement of the Istumraree Jumma of Beys- wan instead of that fixed at the late settlement." 42. The following classification of the towns and villages of the district, is obtained from the Mouzahwar Vernacular returns received from the Collector : — Number containing less than 1000 inhabitants c . . . 1782 Ditto more than 1000 and less than 5000 ditto . . 106 Ditto ditto 5000 ditto 10,000 ditto .. 4* Ditto ditto 10,000 ditto 50,000 ditto ..

The following explanation of the discrepancies between the above Table and the Rough Statistical Return was furnished by Mr. R. K. Dick, the collector of the Bijnore District, in a report dated the 17th April 1848. " One muhal has with the Number of Mouzahs.

The Lakherai being 35,827, and i ii i tti- i i not 36,827. taken and added to Uizulgurh Rehur ; this will account for the diminution of area in Nug- geenah and Sheirkote. A great addition has been made to Pergun- nahs Nujeebadad, Burrapoora and Ufzulgurh Rehur, because the area of the Forest villages has now been inserted by mea- surement upon the map ; instead of as formerly according to the vague record of former settlements. The area of Talooqua Chandee and the Dhoon of that name was entirely omitted in the old return ; it has now been inserted as 71j040 acres. "The forest area of Pergunnah Nujeebabad as far as the Rowasun Nuddee to the north and the Gonghun to the south has been inserted from actual Professional survey made in 1841-2 giving an excess of acres 52,488 over the former estimat- ed amount. The forest of Chandee, Burrapoora and Ufzulgurh Rehur has not been actually measured, and though the boundary of this tract towards the " Des" is accurately marked upon this map, that on the Hill side may not be precisely correct being laid down from bearings taken at considerable distances instead of actual survey. The present return, however, does not differ widely from the truth. 67 " In the detail this forest land has been thrown into the barren. "The difference in the amount of cultivated, Lakhiraj, &c. arises from this, that some maafee land at first resumed but aftei'wards released in appeal was entered in the malgoozaree area, in the former statement, and has now been put down as Lakhiraj, while other lands then rent-free, but which have since lapsed, have been added to the khalsa. A considerable error was discovered in Pergnnnah Rehur Ufzulgurh, the total area of 32 Mouzahs transferred from zillah Moradabad having been entered under the head of cultivation ; of 19,853 acres, entered in former returns, only 14,442 are really cultivated. The difference 5443 acres has been transferred to barren and culturable. " The total area of the District (except part of the forest as above described) has been entered from the professional survey.

" The demand is increased by the addition of the Jumma of maafee land the settlement of which was confirmed by Govern- ment before 1846-47 but by an error was not included in the rent roll of that year submitted to the accountant. ii' The return of the population was obtained during the past year through the Putwarrees. They were required to give in a separate paper foreach village showing the number of enclosures, the name of the head of each family residing within each enclo- 1 2 68 sure, the number of each family without detail of men, women and children, and the caste and occupations. These returns were first examined by the Canoongoes, then some villages were personally visited by the Tehseeldars and the accuracy of the return tested and afterwards the same steps were taken by the Deputy Collector and Assistant. " The detailed nature of the information given by requiring the number of enclosures and the name of the heads of families seems to aflbrd security against a very wide departure from the truth though it must be confessed that the number in each fami- ly and the number to a square mile is unusually large. The fear which this species of enquiry excites generally, is that some tax is to follow ; why then should the returns be in excess of the truth ? a The occupation of each family being given in the detailed return, the distribution into agricultural and non-agricultural was made in this Office. All my enquiries lead me to trust in the accuracy of the present returns.^^ 44. A separate abstract of the number of families and houses was submitted by the Collector of which the following gives the result. Number of fami- lies or houses. Number of in- habitants.

The number of mouzahs has been prepared from Pergunnahwar lists of mouzahs kept at the Tehseeldarees. It contains every mouzah in the district, whether included in the Government rent roll (Khalsah) or rent free (Maafee), every mouzah transferred to other districts has been excluded, and every mouzah received from other districts has been inclu- ded. There cannot be a doubt as to the correctness of the totals in this column. i( Cols. 4 and 5. The area in square miles, column No. 4, has been computed by dividing the professional survey area in Acres, column No. 5, by 847.2. '•^The amount of forest land is all included in Pergunnah Moradabad. Kasheepore, consequently, if the Reve- Sumbhul. . J * " a A Billaree. ^^^ ourvey IS entitled to our conridence, Urarohah. then there can be no error in the amount Hussunpore. DiUavee. Thakoordwara. of Acres in the 6 Pergunnahs m the mar- gin. The number of Acres in Pergunnah Kasheepore has been computed from three sources. Istly. The area of all regularly surveyed Mouzahs. 2dly. The area of 15 Mouzahs not regularly surveyed, but calculated with reference to the estimated area as detailed in 4th settlement. 3dly. The area of forest land as surveyed in large tracts by the subordinates in the Survey Departments. — Of the 1st source, I have spoken above : — the 2d and 3d sources are liable to errors ; a Canoongoe's estimate of the area of any Mouzah, is of course not to be considered, but as approaching to his no- tion, even if he be honest, of the area ; how then can implicit 72 credence be put upon any statement which he may give as to the area of a Jungle Mouzah ? "The carelessness of natives, even when closely watched by an European superior, is proverbial ; how can we implicitly trust any work performed by them at a distance from supervision ; more particularly when the work is so laborious, and so little remunerative as surveying jungle tracts, in many places imperi- rous to all, but the tiger and the elephant ? Hence suppos- ing that the survey subordinates were aware of regularly defined boundaries in the forest, (and of this I am most sceptical,) I cannot assert that the area of the Kasheepore Pergunnah is per- fectly correct ; but I think I may venture to state, that it is quite near enough to the truth for the purpose now aimed at. The area of the jungle tract of Pergunnah Kasheepore, was prepared expressly for this report by a calculation of trapeziums and triangles in the Deputy Surveyor General's Office. " Columns 6, 7, 8 and 9. The totals of these columns have been taken from the Revenue and Khusrah Surveys, and the above remarks apply equally to these columns. Since the Sur- vey, an immense quantity of culturable land has been brought under cultivation, and in many instances land entered in column 9 as barren, has been ploughed up. " Cols. 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. Although I caused a census to be made three years ago, I resolved on the present occasion to prepare a new census, such as would enable me to put at rest the doubts expressed by the Hon'ble Court in their despatch No. 6, 3d June 1846. Previously to carrying my plans into effect, I consulted a great number of educated landholders, who are in the habit of visiting me and conversing freely with me on all subjects. They assured me, that though at the time of the first census, fears were entertained of sinister designs on the part Government, all apprehensions, except in the minds of a very few ignorant persons, had passed away, and that they would cause it to be explained to all their cultivators, that the 73 ohjfict on the part of (Jovernmeiit, of counting them, was to devise measures by which all would be benefitted, more especi- ally the poorer classes. Having- thus made a commencement, I addressed the Tehseeldars, and explained to them, that an ac- curate census was required, and that it was to be made without alarming the people. In Pergunnah Dillaree, Thakoordwarrah, a Government Officer, went to each Mouzah, and thus counted the inhabitants. In all the other Pergunnahs, the census was made through the Putwarrees, and as all dread vras removed, I believe the census is perfectly correct. In fact it is dif- ficult to conceive under the circumstances, how the Putwar- rees should have given false returns ; they knew by experi- ence that no taxation would follow, and that no harm could arise to them personally from telling the truth : whereas pu- nishment and loss of employ was certain to follow the detection of any wdlful diviation from the truth.

The census of the large town was taken through the Meer Mohul- lahs (headmen of each ward) of the Town, and the Chowkee- dars of the different Mohullahs, aided by the Tehseelee Amlah, and in some instances the village accountant. It will be ob- served that the population of the Pergunnah of Moradabad is as high as 764 to the square mile ; whereas that of Pergunnah Kasheepore is only 105. This vast difference is owing to the jungle tract of 271 square miles included in that Pergunnah, in which there is no population whatever, and to the scanty po- ptdation in the turrae. The next Pergunnah in which tiie 74 population is most scanty, is that of Ilussiinpore. Tiiis Per- gunnah includes all the grass and jungle lands, lying on the left bank of the Ganges, in which, thei-e is comparatively speaking, little cultivation, and very few inhabitants. This will account for the deficiency of population in this Pergunnah. The average population throughout the district is 444 to the square mile." 47. Doubt having been expressed with reference to the esti- mates of population, especially in Moradabad,Sumbhul, Billaree, Umrohah and Dillaree, Mr. Wilson reported on the 27th January 184S, that he had instituted the following further enquiries : — *' I caused the Touzees (Government rent rolls) of all the Pergunnahs to be brought me, and I then selected the 33d, 66th, 99th village in each hundred of the villages forming a Pergunnah. These Mouzahs having been inserted in a list, I then wrote a proceeding directing Mr. Assistant Money, invested with full powers of Magistrate and Collector, to proceed to Pergunnahs Umrohah, Hussunpore, atid Sumbhul, and Syfoolah Khan, De- puty Collector, to proceed to Pergunnahs Moradabad, Billaree, and Thakoordwarah, reserving for myself the Pergunnah of Kasheepore. " The directions contained in this proceeding were as fol- lows : — ^ You will proceed to each of the villages named in the list, and taking the headman of the village, the watchman, the village accountant, the Canoongoe, and the Tehseeldar with j^ou, you will go to every person's house in the village. You will call upon the master of the house, and you will write down according to his statement under his name, in the form now given, the numbers, &c. of the inmates of his house. You will also insert in the form the number of houses occupied, and the occupation, &c. of the master of the family, the number of per- sons born, arrived, dead and absconded since the census was taken.' " Tiiesc orders were carried out to the letter, both by Mr. 75 Money, the Native Deputy Collector, SyfooUah Khan, and my- self^ all three acting disthict and apart from the others. " It is worthy of remark, that each of the three testing Offi- cers found that the number of inhabitants throughout the district is in reality much greater than that inserted in the census ; and however strange it may be with reference to the population of different countries in Europe, I venture to assert, that the population of the district of Moradabad is more than 444 to the square geographical mile. "It is impossible to doubt the accuracy of the testing, entrusted as it was to three Officers, acting at the same time at long distances from one another, and perfectly incapable of being misled, or wishing to mislead, on the matter committed to them.^^ 48.

Mr. Pidcock, the Commissioner of Rohilcund, under date March 13th, 1848, made the following observations on the high average of population to the square mile which was found to exist in some of the Pergunnahs in this and in the Budaon District ; — " These results are so much in excess of the authentic returns of all other countries, that on their first receipt I considered them so exaggerated as to be entitled to but little credence. Subsequent enquiries on the spot have however gone far to remove this impression ; great pains have been taken by the Col- lectors of Moradabad and Budaon to ensure accuracy in these returns, and in the former district I examined the rough note prepared by Mr. Money, Assistant Collector, and Syfoollah Khan, a very intelligent Depy.Coll., who had been deputed by the Collector to test the census in a considerable number of villasres taken at random. Their method of estimating families by " Choolas" or hearths, appeared to me to be quite correct, and in those instances in which every individual's name in the vil- lage was recorded, the returns gave an increase in almost every village compared with the prepared returns. " I am, therefore, disposed to consider the present census of this district as exhibiting a fair approximation to the actually existing population. Positive accuracy can only be attained by adopting the system of numeration pursued in England at the late census. ^' It may be asked why the population ratio of these districts should so far exceed that of the most densely peopled countries of Europe, especially as they contain so few large towns. V " I would state in explanation of the fact : 1 St. That the people, with very few exceptions marry, and invariably at an early age. 78 2nolly. That they are temperate and natural in their mode of living and faithful to their marriage engagements. I refer to the body of the people generally, and not to particular classes in towns. 3dly. Emigration rarely takes place. The people born in a village, or district remain there and marry. 4thly. The wants of the people are extremely limited, and the means of supporting a family are so abundant and so cheap, as to be within the easy reach of every one. The poorest can marry without the slightest apprehension as to the result as regards the clothing, sustenance and education of the chil- dren, which may be born to them. So far from being a sub- ject of anxiety children are a source of wealth to their parents, for as soon as they emerge from infancy, they begin to assist them in the field and other occupations, and it is precisely the home labor, as distinguished from hired labour, which enables the cul- tivator to work his land so economicallv. 5thly. Such has been the social condition of the people of these districts for many generations, and under its fostering influence population has attained its present extent. 6thly. Since the cession this province has enjoyed uninter- rupted repose, violent deaths have been scarce, but few of its inhabitants have been withdrawn for our armies, and our reve- nue system has had the effect of imparting a great stimulus to population by inducing an immense increase of cultivation, and consequently of the means of subsistence. '' If such be the social condition of the people of this Pro- vince, it will be admitted that the ordinary checks to increased population in Europe are unfclt here. " That the Province is very thickly peopled no one who has passed through it can for a moment doubt. From one end to the other, with here and there occasional exceptions, a broad expanse of rich cultivation meets the eye, broken bj^ luxuriant mangoe and other groves at short distances from each other, with generally a village attached to each. On entering these villages the number of children playing in front of every door cannot fail to attract the attention of the most unobservant. Of course the forest tract is an exception to this general rule. There, population is scanty in the extreme, and I think it has decreased, and with it cultivation also. But this unhealthy, but productive tract will gradually be brought under cultivation as population increases, and as good land available for cultivation becomes scarce in the open country." 50.

The Collector of the Bareilly district, Mr. F. Williams, in forwarding, under date April 15th, 1848, his Statistical Table, observed that, though the averages of population were so high, the return had been subjected to so many tests that he could not think that any material error had escaped detection. 55. The following are his remarks upon the preparation of it : — " All alterations of the limits of the district have been care- fully traced, and the return shows the area of the district of Bareilly and Pilleebheet, incorporated, as it was, in May, 184G." " Rent Free and Istumraree Mouzahs, Jungle tracts, &c. have all been shown as directed. Lands which have been trans- ferred from one Mouzah to another, or obliterated by diluviati, or transferred, or created by alluvion have been properly account- ed for in the area columns. '^ The Statement prepared in Agra, called the rough Statisti- cal return, shows 3,281 Mouzahs. The present return shows 3,873 Mouzahs. The former return cannot be correct, for the settlement statement No. IV., after adding and deducting Mou- zahs transferred to or from other Zillahs, gives 3,494 Mouzahs. To this statement No. IV., which is the only correct list of Mouzahs that has ever been prepared in the office, we have now to add 379, as detailed as follows : — " 238 Mouzahs which had been partitioned off from the old Mouzahs previous to the settlement, and which M'ere then separately assessed, and of which separate Misls were prepared, but in consequence of the Revenue Sur- veyor having included them and the original villages in one measurement and one Map, they were consequently not allowed separate numbers in statement No. IV. 46 Villages which were rent-free, but have been resumed. 95 Maffee Mouzahs, tracts of Jungle, cantonments, &c. which were not included in statement No. IV. »> >> »» >» >> 86 '' We have ascertained that there are 323 new Muzrahs or new- ly located villages which have not been included in the above to- tal of 3,873 Mouzahs, because they are located within the areas and form part of the original Mouzahs, but though these have not been included in that total, every inhabited place, even to a solitary hut, has its inhabitants included in the return of popu- lation."

Duller, for- warded on the 15th April a vernacular report by the Sheristadar of his office, showing the manner in which the area and popu- lation columns of the preceding Table had been prepared. From this report it appears that the areas had been taken from the settlement statement No. 4, all lands transferred to or receiv- ed from other districts and all rent-free tenures resumed or released since the settlement being duly accounted for. 58. The returns of population first sent in to the Collector were returned to the Tuhseeldars, on the receipt of the Govern- ment Circular, dated the 15th November 184/, and they were di- rected to test certain villages the names of which were furnished to them for that purpose. This was accordingly done, and such discrepancies as were detected between the first return and that subsequently made were accounted for by the misapprehension which at first existed on the part of the Putwarrees with regard to the definitions of a house and the distinction between the agricultural and non-agricultural classes^ as explained in the Circular of the 15th Nov. 1847. 59. In addition to the above information gathered from the Sheristadar's report, Mr. Buller stated that he had every reason to believe the area columns to be quite correct, and that the re- vision of the population had been made ■^^■ith great care, village by village, and by actual enumeration, without causing any vexation to the people, the lists having been drawn up in the villages by the Putwarrees, by the Zameendars themselves of the better classes,and by the various officers of the Government; and in the city of Shahjehanpoor by theheadsof the Mohullahs. 60. Of the total number of returns, 35 were tested by the European Officers and 71 by the Tuhseeldars and their subor- dinates. 61 . " In testing the papers no other discrepancies M^ere found to exist than arose from late deaths or births, the absconding 93 of old or income of new settlers, or perhaps the previous omis- sion of a few children/' 62. From a statement furnished by Mr. Buller, it appeared that of the whole population of 8,12,588, the children numbered 2,79,392, leaving an adult population of 6,33, 196 ; the children having been counted as such up to 12 or 13 years of age if un- married, — if married below that age they have been considered as adults.

The following remarks, witli regard to the preparation of the above table, were furnished by Mr. G. Alexander, the Col- lector of the Etawah district, on the 22nd September and 28th December, 1847. "The enquiries have been conducted through the agency of the Tuhseeldars, and uncovenanted Deputy Collector, aided by the Putwarrees, and Chowkeedars of the different villages, and the accuracy of the returns has been carefully and minutely tested by myself. *^ I have met with no opposition whatever, nor has any ap- prehension or alarm been excited, or dissatisfaction evinced dur- ing the prosecution of the investigation, for I have endeavoured, in my tour through the district, to explain to the people the object sought to be attained by it, namely, the promotion of measures which would tend to advance their happiness and well being. " The limits of the district have suffered no alteration what- ever since the late Survey and Settlement, and the entire area, and every Mouzah, and all tracts of land comprised within the district have been included in these returns. ^' The items of cultivated and culturable land were filled up from the Putwarrees' papers, and from the result of the local enquiries of the Tuhseeldars, and, when any great discrepancies appeared to exist between their returns and the statements pre- pared at the time of settlement, the Tuhseeldars and Putwarrees were sent for by me and after personal enquiry into each parti- cular case, the errors where discovered were corrected. "^ The population of the district has been greatly augmented since settlement, and is annually increasing. " In consequence of the good feeling which appeared to per- vade all classes in the district during the progress of the enquiry. 113 and the complacency with which they regarded it, I caused the census to be made by actual enumeration of the people, which has been done with as much correctness as possible. 79. In the 5th Paragraph of a report on the state of Indi- genous education in the district, submitted to Government on the 21st September 1846, Mr. G. Alexander furnished a table, exhibiting the population distinguished into Moosulmans and Hindoos and men, women, boys and girls of each of these classes which made the population 4,58,010 souls, as in the an- nexed table : — lO in In.

On August Utli, 1847, the Collector of Cawnporc, Mr. I^Ioutgomery, furnished his returns to the Commissioner, but in consequence of the Circular letter from Government of Novem- ber 15th, 1847, he availed himself of the cold season of 1847 — 48 to revise the entries. 83. The Table and the following remarks are the second or corrected returns, which were furnished direct to Government on April 13th, 1848:— " Col. 3. In the rough statement the number of Mouzahs is 2,279. In the statement now sent up it is 2,258. The cause of difference is that Mr. Allen, in revising the assessment in 1844, united several estates under the provisions of Section VI. Regu- lation XIX. of 1814, and thus reduced the number of villages. '^ Cols. 6 and 7- The cultivated area in the rough state- ment is 7>8 1,1 73, and the culturable 1.63,563 acres. In the accompanying statement the result is : — Cultivated area 7,54,818 acres ; culturable 1,87,563. The reason Avhy there is less culti- vated, and more culturable land than in the rough statement is, that in revising the settlement, Mr. Allen found that much cul- tivated land had fallen waste ; he did not remeasure, but got returns from the Tuhseeldars, Huft gana papers, and Ameens' Butwarra Misls, and entered the amount of cultivated land thus obtained in his statements. This showed a considerable decrease, and in the present statement, the areas of the revised Mouzahs are entered according to Mr. Allen's assumed areas in 1844, and the rest according to the settlement returns.^^ 84. The following remarks were appended to the preceding tabular return : — '' I received orders from the Government, dated 15th Novem- ber last, directing me to take advantage of the cold season, whilst in the interior of the district, to examine and test the population returns which I had formed a few months previously. Owing to various difficulties which I foresaw if I only tested 118 the former returns, I determined to form a new census by enu- merating the people, as well as by counting the houses, which latter plan had alone been the basis of the first census. Two errors were particularly observable in the first one ; the defini- tion of a house had not been fully explained, and the Tuhseel- dars were in ignorance of the discriminating difference between the agricultural and non-agricultural classes ; those only who cultivated lands having been entered under the former class. I defined a house to mean '^ an enclosure where one or more branches of the same family resided, having one common en- trance," and an agriculturist to mean " the members of all families who derived their support, or any part of their income, from the cultivation of land, whether or not they conducted the usual agricultural operations." The Tuhseeldars, or head Na- tive Revenue Officers, were directed to call the village account- ants, and explain fully to them exactly what I required, and to obtain through them a return from each village in the following form : — I should first state that the prevailing custom in this district where one or more individuals cultivate in partnership, is to enter in the engagement or village papers the name of one person only." 119 . ^ ^^ o CO •^ CO H c^ «^ o "S 00 -r eo r— « i>. 3» U cT cT O a " i5 J. 3 o 00 CO o CO CO CO iO_ o e OS -3 &• o &.

The lists now fur- nished give an increase of 8,979 houses over those of 1847. This perhaps is not to be wondered at, inasmuch as the new definition of a house would naturally tend to increase the num- ber. In last year's census I found, from counting the number of individuals in 48 villages, that the population fell at the rate of 5.87 per house. If this average be applied to the number of houses shown by the present return, it will give a population of 9,52,934, or 40,09/ less than is obtained by actual enumeration. This is a near approximation, and as a test is, I think, a satisfac- tory one." 85.

No English report or Statement having been furnished for the Humeerpore district, the following information has been gathered from a memorandum, dated the 22d April, 1848, sup- plied by the Deputy Collector of the district, Moolvee Wuhee- doozuman. 89. A Statement was in the first instance prepared in the Collector's Office, in which the Areas and Jummas were entered from the settlement papers, and the population from the state- ments prepared at the time of settlement and corrected by the Surveyor. 90. The difference in the areas was found to be very small. An increase of 860 Acres had been gained in Purgunnah Pun- waree by the acquisition of Mouzah Kantee from the Jeitpore llaka, of 26 Acres by error in Survey in one village, and of 20 Acres by alluvian in another village of Purgunnah Sumeerpore, while the rest of the areas were the same as given in the set- tlement papers. 91. The former census, on account of the negligence of the Survey Ameens, was incorrect, but the present one, showing the agricultural and non-agricultural population, prepared through the Putwarrees, Canoongoes andChowkeedars, and tested by the Tuhseeldars, was considered accurate. 92. The people offered no objection to the census, and the district being inhabited chiefly by Lodhas, whose women do not object to show themselves, no difficulty on this score was ex- perienced. 93. The following comparative table shows the increase in the population, the number of houses and the average per house, but with respect to this last point, it is to be remarked that the practice would appear to prevail in this district for families of different castes to live within one enclosure, each such enclosure being calculated by the Tuhseeldars as one house.

Pearson, Deputy Collector of Calpcc, on August 14th, 1847, reported as follows on the particulars given in the above Table, with respect to that District : — " The entries of the Area have been taken from the Settle- ment records of the professional survey made in 1840, but land brought under assessment since the settlement has been trans- fered from the Column of Minhaee to that of Malgoozaree land. No error will be detected in them arising from any of the causes mentioned in para. 4th of Mr. Secretary Thornton's letter.' jj "The returns of population are the result of anew census based on actual enumeration. This had been commenced, with a view to the correction of the census made in the previous year 1845-46, before the receipt of the orders of Government, direct- ing that the calculation should rest on the number of houses or families ; and it was found that the counting of the individuals involved very little more trouble than that of the houses ; while the combination of both methods made one a check upon the other, and ensured greater accuracy than could otherwise have been obtained. The length of time during which the returns were being prepared allowed of their frequent revision ; and the detailed method of enquiry which was pursued afforded the means of a more detailed classification than is required for the purposes of Government, and which has not therefore been ex- hibited, but which, however, will not be useless. The people were neither alarmed nor harassed by the proceedings. The present census shows the population to be greater bj^ more than Jth than it appeared to be by the previous one, and the new total is still more probably below than above the real number. The average number of persons per house or family is ascer- tained to be 5." 96. On April 3d, 1848, Mr. Pearson furnished a curious table^ arranging the total population of 1,65,181 souls under 51 castes, and as males, females, and children, cultivators and non-cultivators. The totals stand as follows : — 128 Males, Cultivators, ;jH,440 Males, Non-cultivators, 26,196 Females, Cultivators, 29,489 Females, Non-cultivators, 24,642 Children, (Males,) Cultivators, 15,769 Children, (Males,) Non-cultivators, 12,785 Children, (Females,) Cultivators, , , 8,937 Children, (Females^) Non-cultivators, 8,923 Total, 1,65,181 Number of Houses, 31,650 Average number of persons to a house, 5 97.

A mass oj veriKicular papers regarding llic statistics of the Allahabad district was forwarded to Government under date April 15th, 1848, by Mr. E. 11. C. Monckton, the Officiating Collector, but as these returns were incomplete, it was found necessary to return them, and to desire Mr. E. Tyler, who had taken Mr. Monckton's place, to exert himself to supply the required information with such expedition as might be practi- cable. Mr. E. Tyler furnished the statistical table on the 19th June 1848, and remarked as follows : — '^ The above statement has been completed from the ge- neral statement No. IV. and census sent in by the Thanadars in 1840, during Mr. Montgomery's administration, but it ap- pears no faith can be placed upon the accuracy of the number of inhabitants. The Tuhseeldars evidently did not understand the subject, and from their reports they have very cursorily run over the Pergunnahs, besides leaving much to the statements made by the Putwarrees.' i> 102. Efforts were made in this office to correct the return, and probably it is now not far from the truth, but it is evident that full confidence cannot be placed in its accuracy. 103. The towns and villages in the Allahabad district, classi- fied according to population, were as follows : — 136 Number containing less than 1000 Inhabitants .... 3302 Ditto more than 1000 and less than 5000 ditto . . 92 Ditto ditto 5000 ditto 10,000 ditto .. 3* Ditto ditto 10,000 ditto 50,000 ditto .. Ditto ditto 50,000 Total Inhabited, 339/ Total Uninhabited, 605 Total of the District, 4002 * Shalizadpore, in Pergunnah Kunah. Bhugeisur, Talooka Burrokher, Pergunnah Khyragurh. Adampore, Secundra. Note. — Allahabad comprises portions of nine villages, which have been separately counted. •ajiuj leniqd •~s t c> CO 30 -* t>.

Mr. M. C. OimiKimicy, Collector of Jouiipore, furiiislied his st;itistic:il tiibles with the annexed remarks on the 15th July 1848. " Tiie district was professionally surveyed in 1839. The Native Khusreh Survey was carried on simultaneously and well tested by the Surveyor and his Assistants. ^^ The Tuhseeldar of Jounpore has drawn out his returns from an enumeration of the number of persons in each house. The agency employed was the Canoongocs (aided by Putwar- rees and village police) who have made a careful detail for each village. The census for the town has been obtained through the Chowkeedars and principal people of each Mohulla, — and by the aid of the town Bukshee. The population of the town thus ascertained is 16^171 souls. ^' The Mulhnee Tuhseeldar has strictly followed the directions in the circular, ascertaining the number of houses, — and cal- culating the population from the average given by the actual result of counting a certain number of families of different classes. ^' After completing the Mouzawar Statement the test of actual enumeration was applied to three of the largest places in his Pergunnah, viz. Shahgunj, Buragaon and Putela. The dif- ference ui result was extremely trilling and therefore reliance may be placed on his returns. " The returns of Kurakut and Ghissooah have been compiled in the same manner, and similarly tested. And the result has been equally satisfactory. " A house has been assumed by all the Tuhseeldars to be all of one family, eating together and residing within the same en- closure, or " Bukhree, or Bakher." T 14G 113.

'S' " In the case of the aforementioned Pergunnahs, the areas were calculated from the estimated Acres given in the Surveyor's vil- lage Plans, and ascertained in the Settlement Office.

In Singrowlee alone, there may be some modi- fication, viz. 1100 square British miles. jj 115. On the revision of the population entries, Mr. Money stated as follows, in his letter of the 23rd May, 1848 : — " The returns of Kera Mungrore, comprising Talooka Now- gnrh, and of Pergunnah Bhudoee, in the domains of the Rajah of Benares, were obtained through the officers of those Pergun- nahs, there being no records in the Collectorate relating to this portion of the district. With reference to Kera Mungrore, the Superintendent, Major Stewart, (through whom the statement of Kera Mungrore was received) writes that ' the present state- ment comprises all classes, with their wives and children, pre- pared by the Canoongoe, under the supervision of an officer ap- pointed by me.' Major Stewart adds, — 'it is nearly as correct as can be obtained.' " The same remark applies to Bhudoee, where a special offi- cer was sent to ensure an accurate preparation of the statement. "The present returns were compiled by Putwarrees, contain- ing the name of each householder, and the number of adults, and the number of children ; ordinarily all females below the age of 10 or 12, being reckoned as children by the people, and 152 nitiles up to the age of 14. As the name of each houseliolder has been given by the Putvvarree, the return may be, if inaccu- rate, below the actual amount of population, as there may be a probability of the Putwarree omitting to give the name of an householder, but no likelihood of his inserting the name of one who was not a resident, " The Pergunnahs of the valley of the Ganges will be ob- served to be very densely populated when compared ^ith most populous European regions ; a comparison with the returns of the adjacent Pergunnahs similarly situated in other districts will show whether they are to be considered as exaggerated or otherwise. I believe them to be not inaccurate. A portion of Ahrowrah is situated in the plains, but part in the hills ; the remaining Pergunnahs are entirely in the hills ; a portion of Bijeygurh, and all Agoree and Singrowlee are very rocky, and for the most part sterile. The exceedhigly scanty population is easily accounted for. " The chief difference between the former statements, and that now transmitted, consists in the amount of population of the Pergunnahs of Burhur, Bijeygurh, Agoree and Singrowlee, in the Tuhseeldaree of Shah Gunge, and of Kera Mungrore, in the domains of the Rajah of Benares. The inaccuracy of the statement of the former was discovered by a comparison with a statement of population contained in certain revised Khuteeo- nees prepared under the eye of Mr. Roberts in 1847. It was found that the number of householders only was given, but not the number of adults, and even the number of householders underrated. A form similar to that used by Mr. Roberts, was sent out to be filled up by the Putwarrees, many of whom had been trained to the work of preparation by Mr. Roberts. A similar form was sent to the Rajah's officers. Mr. Roberts has inspected the revised i-eturns, and regards them as accurate, and trustworthy. A greater portion of the census of Sin- growlee had this year been drawn up by Amcens under Mr. 153 Robert's superlntendance, and tliat officer fs of opinfon that the Putwarrees' returns of the amount of the remaining vilhiges is to be relied on as being as near an approximation to exactness as can be obtained, with the exception of tiie vilhiges noted in the margin.* Tiiese are at present in the oc- *Chl™huree cupation of the Rajah of Surgooja, and the accu- Jhahur, racy of the returns is not certified. There is a Kusaree. dispute as to which rergunnah they belong to, although included in this district in the documents prepared at the revision of settlement in 1843." 1 16.

Mr. D. F. MacLeod, the Collector of the district, fur- nished the following observations and particulars regarding the preparation of the above table, under date the 13th May, 1848* ^' The entries in the columns showing the area Nos. 3 to 9' have been obtained from the Survey returns. They include all rent-free Mouzas or lands, Istumrari estates, Toufir lands, vil- lages transferred from other districts, &c. in short, all that con- stitutes the present area of this district, the character of which, (its entire extent being level, open and densely peopled,) pre- cludes the existence of some of the causes of error or discrepan- cy pointed out in Paragraph 4 of the Circular letter of 22nd October 1846. So that I trust no error of consequence can exist, in so far as those returns themselves are entitled to con- fidence, as they doubtless are. a It may be well here to observe that the areas entered in the accompanying statements, do not include the space covered by the Gansres and other rivers. O' " The year of Survey from which these returns have been taken was 1840. As respects the entire area of each village* it was effected by the European scientific method — but as re- gards the details of " cultivated," " culturable," &c. these were ascertained by the native Khusrah method. The aggregate fur- nished by this process would necessarily differ more or less in all cases, from that obtained by scientific survey, and accord- ingly a redistribution of the several classes has been made ac- cording to the proportions shown by the Khusrah, but agreeing in the aggregate with the area shown by the professional Survey." ii The entries in the Columns showing the population, 19 to 24, have been obtained as regards all, save the citj^, station and Cantonments, by a census newly taken in the present year. Having ascertained that there were strong grounds for consider- ing the population returns shown by the Surveyor's records to IT *> 156 be undeserving of confidence, I determined on the receipt of the Circular letter of the 15th November IS47, to have u new one made in detail. Printed blank forms were accordingly fur- nished ta every Putwarree in the district through the Tuhseel- dars and Cunoongoes, which they were required to fill in and return to me through the latter." "The Canoongoes of the several Pergunnahs were specially deputed by me to superintend the work while in progress, and strictly warned that they would be held responsible in the event of material errors being discovered in the returns when furnished. After all had been given in, a few were selected in each Pergun- nah by the Tuhseeldars to be again tested by the Canoongoes in detail, and they were directed to use every precaution themselves to ascertain that every care had been taken to ensure correctness. Finally the countersignature of the Canoongo and Tuhseeldar was affixed to each return, previous to transmission to the Collector. '' Although the paragraphs of the Circular letter of the 22nd October 1846, from 16 to 20th, appear to encourage an estimate of population from the number of families or houses, rather than an actual enumeration of the people, yet from the follow- ing paragraphs, especially para. 28, it may be gathered that the latter if procurable, would not be unacceptable. I found also on making preliminary enquiries, that it would be exceedingly difficult to carry out the method proposed in para. 20, and was ap- prehensive that if any discretionary permission to generalize were given to our subordinates the results would not be trustworthy. '' I determined therefore on requiring a full detail — exhibit- ing the distribution of males and females, children and adults, of the village ; and as the caste and occupation of every indivi- dual was entered opposite to his name, an abstract showing the distribution of agriculture and non-agriculture, Mahomedan, cind Hindoo was without difficulty subjoined after completion of the returns — the injunctions conveyed in the i5th para, of the 157 Circular bcinir strictly observed. Such returns it appeared to me, would afford moreover the best possible basis on which hereafter to found a permanent record of the state of population by means of the yearly Putwarree's papers as suggested in the 28th para, of the Circular. " Thus much in respect to the method by which these returns have been prepared. As regards the facts exhibited by them, there certainly appears on examination to be much of a startling character especially as respects the density of the po- pulation, which far exceeds what I could have supposed possible. In all Pergunnahs the present returns will be found largely to exceed those of the settlement officer, in some instances being even double of them, yet, from the manner in which they have been taken, the full details given in, furnishing a ready means for detection of error- hereafter, — and the repeated and earnest assurances as to their correctness given to me by all the parties under whose immediate superintendance they have been prepar- ed, I cannot believe that there is any essential error. ^' The Government, with the returns of other districts before them, will doubtless be best able to judge whether the ratio of population here shown is or is not extravagantly in excess of that of similar tracts adjoining. But having obtained access to those of Mirzapore, I am in some degree fortified in my opinion of the correctness of these returns, by finding that the census of Mujhwa and Tappa Kon of that district exhibits even a higher ratio ; and that of Kariat Sikhar but httle less than that of Gungapore of this district immediately adjoining them ; — that of Bhuili of Mirzapore in like manner, considerably higher than the Benares Pergunnah of Mujhwar adjoining it, while that of Chunar affords a ratio but little short of the hisfhest shown in this district. ** A further ground, however limited, for confidence in these returns is, that in respect to such portions of the population. 158 as were included in Mr. Names of Villages. 1 a a> a "n. Orderly Bazar, ■Sikrol, Dithore, Chamroti and Iloprulg'unj, Kiuijuri, Gujadhurpur and Paliarpore, Slieopoie, Grant Bazar and Indpore, 1,053 2,329 2,461 2,424 1,076 2,585 2,099 2,977 Total 8,272 8,737 James Prinsep's Census, and liave now again been numbered, the present census falls even short of that formerly made, — as appears from the table given in the margin, — and this too in the im- mediate vicinity of the Ci- vil Station and Canton- ments of Sikrol, where it might have been supposed that since that period the population had increased. a The number of persons per household, as shown by these returns, is larger than would appear to be usual in other coun- tries, or in other parts of this country, but a large portion of the houses entered consist of Chouks, containing more than one male member of a family and his household ; while Mr. Prinsep's census gives 6 as the average per Chouk, whether in the city or in the rural outskirts, 7 per pukka house and A\ per kucha house. " The number of females too, it will be observed, falls short of that of males, but the same was the case in Mr. Prinsep's census, as respects the population both of the city and suburbs, as will be perceived from the accompanying statement, though in the city the number of adult females was somewhat in excess of the adult males. The ratio of adults to children was as 4 to 1 in the city and 2i to 1 in the suburbs by Mr. Prinsep's census, but it seems unnecessary to extend the comparison to these, as the line of demarcation between the two classes must ever remain so ill-defined and indefinite as to render any satisfactory conclusion almost unattainable. *^ It will be observed as remarked above that the present census shows an extraordinary increase beyond that of the 159 settlement officer. But an inspection of his returns indisput- ably establishes the fact that they were but general estimates, roughly deduced it is said by the Amins from enquiries made from the Putwarree and village Choukeedar, and this with no great care, as, in not a few instance, villages having a consi- derable population have absolutely been entered blank, or near- ly so. This remarkable discrepancy, in fact, paradoxical as this may appear, tends in my opinion rather to establish the good faith with which the present enumeration has been made, than the reverse. For, as the survey returns were accessible to our officers, had there been any inclination on their part to assume or falsify results, they would unquestionably have made them approximate more nearly to that standard. " I have annexed to this a separate English Statement em- bodying the chief details elicited by the present enumeration in which I have arranged the several Pergunnahs in the order of the density of their respective populations, and if the map of the Benares district be examined it will be found that this order is precisely that which might have been looked for. For all the Pergunnahs on the opposite bank of the river are shown to be the least densely peopled, with the exception of Ralhu- pur of which nearly half the population is comprised in the large town of Ramnuggur, in which the Raja resides, while on both sides of the river all decrease in density as they recede farther from the city of Benares, with the partial exception of Pandraha and Kol Asia, — which, owing to the large extent of sugar cultivation, are notoriously the richest Pergunnahs in the district. This fact also in my opinion, strongly corroborates the general truthfulness of these returns. " I have deemed it incumbent upon me thus to enter into details seeing that the results of these returns are in some re- spects so startling, and I cannot but regret that owing to the lateness of the period at which they were obtained, I have been unable myself to verify them personally as I could have wished 160 to do. I can however but repeat my conviction, from the various circumstances dwelt upon in the foregoing paragraphs, but especially from the minuteness of details recorded, the similarity of general results obtained by different parties act- ing quite independently, the constant and anxious injunctions issued throughout the operations to all those employed, and the absence of all motive for falsification, that no very material errors can exist in them. I am happy to be able to add that throughout the operations not a single objection has been offered to the enquiry by any party, save on the part of the Rajah's Officers who at first showed some objection to an enumeration of the persons residing within his fort, but ultimately withdrew ' them. " All the above remarks it will be understood have reference only to the village returns. Of the city, station and canton- ments, I have not attempted to make a fresh census, — the popu- lation of the latter being very fluctuating and the former hav- ing occupied Mr. Prinsep, who had great means at command, and devoted much personal application to it, upwards of 2 years in its preparation. It is in truth a work so laborious, and requiring so much care and caution that it would have been quite impossible for me to have completed it in time for the present report, and 1 have accordingly contented myself, as regards these, by making the entries from the census of Mr. Prinsep. " That census was made between the years 1824 and 1827, and was made with so much care and tested in so many ways, that it can hardly be doubted to have been at that time very correct. Since then it is probable that the city has somewhat increased upon the whole, but I am not altogether satisfied on this point, and at all events the increase cannot have been anything very considerable. The resident population alone is .represented in it, the large masses visiting on pilgrimage or for very temporary residence, being entirely omitted." f 1 '-4-t 1 j^ r^ ^ o o 1^ © = i^ r.^ 00 co i-H •aijui ifS C5 CO(M (N'OOOGCOO'OXiOcO?N3-jCM©a» CO ©> -.-1 04 ^ O ©© C5Qoaoaoi-^i>.i^ootooinoinco i>. cs to •bg aad suos.iad ;o jaqranf.^ r—t 4 1— ( 1—4 (— ( (M X IM ^ O cvjoQ oo©vccocoiniM^oo--ino-»<©-t< o © in o o © 03 o C-l -«< CO o OS to CO in o © t-~.

Mr. P. Trench, Collector of the Ghazeepore district, suhniitted the above Table with the following remarks, on the J 3th May, 1848. " The Tuhseeldars received their orders from my predecessor, and with them got full instructions as to the mode in which their researches were to be made. Since their returns have come in, they have undergone such test and examination as I consider sufficient to enable me to look upon them with toler- able confidence. Six persons to a house is, I think, a very satisfactory average to come out for this part of India, and, from all that I have enquired on the subject, is a result calculated to produce a fair reliance on the general correctness of the returns. " It results from the calculations and measurement made in the district of Ghazeepore, that there are more than 600 persons to a square mile, and the fact does not, in the least, startle me. " At the same time in sending up this report, I disavow all design, that the returns should be put forward as such as may be implicitly relied on, for I candidly confess that in compiling them much has been omitted which ought to have been done, and I am vexed at omissions which have come to light. ^' A close scrutiny has given me cause to fear that the process of testing has not been so elaborately carried out as was intend- ed. I allude especially to the testing of existing returns at the Tuhseeldarees, which, I am afraid has not been conducted with that systematic method pointed out in the printed Circular. Although I myself am tolerably satisfied with the accuracy of the result, I am by no means so with the mode in which it ap- pears to me they have been obtained ; that is, I have no satis- factory proof that the detailed directions were closely followed. I think we have got at about the right population, but I am not at ease that it has not been reached in what may be considered somewhat a loose manner." U)5 121. The following classification of the towns and villages is drawn from the vernacular Mouzawar returns, submitted by the Collector : — Number containing less than 1000 Inhabitants, 1833 Ditto more than 1000 and less than 5000 ditto .. 209 Ditto ditto 5000 ditto 10,000 ditto .. 23* Ditto ditto 10,000 ditto 50,000 ditto .. 4t Ditto ditto 50,000 IJ Total Inhabited 2070 Total Uninhabited, 476 Total of the District, 2546 * Chaonee Gliazeepore in Pergunnah Ghazeepore,. . .. 5075 Inhabitants ' Ghazeepore, ditto 7022 (htto.

Ill throwing the totals for the several districts into the following revised table, it has been thought advisable to substi- tute the British statute mile for the Geographical mile. In in- stituting any comparison between columns 4 and 24 of the rough and revised tables, this fact must be borne in mind. The average quantity of land to each person in acres and decimals of an acre, has also been shown. 123. In order also to ensure the uniform exhibition of the en- tries in columns 10, 14, 15, 17 cuid 18, these have been obtained from the office of the Accountant at Agra, and filled up as follows. 124. Col. 10 shows the demand for 1846-47, as entered in the government rent-roll or annual Jumma Wasil Bakee. 125. In the district of Cawnpore however, rupees 1,08,017 have been added on account of the demand for Pergunnah Se- cundra Bilaspoor. The proceeds of this Pergunnah are appro- priated to the support of the family of the late Himmut Baha- door. The accounts are kept separately, and the Jumma does not appear on the rent-roll. As however the Perguiniah has been surveyed and settled in the usual manner, the area and the Jumma, and collections and charges, are all shown in this table. The allowances to the family are considered as pensions, and do not appear. 126. Col. 14 shows the gross collections on account of land Revenue of 1846-47, made up to April 30th, 1847, whether in that or the preceding year, and whether for lands on the Touzee or otherwise. It also shows all outstanding balances realized between May 1st, 1846, and April 30th, 1847- It does not show any anticipated collections on account of 1847-48. 127. Col. 15 shows the actual charges on account of land Revenue for the year 1846-47, as brought to account within the year in each district, whether they be for Sudder or Mofussil, or fixed or temporary establishments, or for contingencies. The 168 charges on account of Stamps and Abkaree do not appear here. The sums payable under the head of Zenieendaree, as compen- sation to persons excluded from the management of their estates, are considered as pensions, and do not appear in this table. 128. It must be remembered that the establishments enter- tained for the collection of the land Revenue are employed to some extent in aid of the Police, and that both directly and in- directly they assist in the administration of Civil Justice in all suits connected with property in land. 129. Col. 17 shows the nett Stamp collections of the year 1846-47, i. e. the gross amount of sums realized for paper sold, minus the charges of all sorts. 130. Col. 18 gives the nett Abkaree Revenue for the same 5^ear, i. e. the gross Abkaree receipts calculated in the same way as the gross land Revenue collections in Col. 14, minus the charges. 131. In some instances the entries in Col. lOin the following table, will be found to differ from the totals in the separate tables for each district. Such discrepancies have been occasion- ed by the incorrect exhibition of the demand for the year in the latter, the Collectors having often included in them sums whicli, though actually realized during the year, have not been regu- larly brought on the rent-roll. c o -SI f^. estern Provinces, prepared in 1848, A.

Notwithstanding the exertions that have been made to ensure fidelity in these returns, it is evident from the precedinj^ detail that they cannot be received as accurate. There is great reason to believe that they are still considerably below the truth. This presumption is strengthened by observing that the number of females is always reported to be much less than that of the males, whenever the sexes are distinguished. It is almost im- possible that there should be such a difference as is often report- ed, and as it is not likely that the number of males is over-rated, it is more than probable that the number of females is concealed. 134. Enquiries of this nature are still new in this country. The prejudices and apprehensions of the people have hitherto re- sisted their prosecution. But these prejudices have now given way under the better understood principles of British adminis- tration. It is gratifying to be assured by the almost unanimous testimony of every public officer who has been concerned in the formation of this census, that they met with no opposition and excited no alarm by their enquiries. 135. But public officers in India have not as yet been trained to systematic enquiries of this sort, and accurate results can never be obtained till the process is well understood, and metho- dized. The present return will therefore be valuable as an ex- periment, and as a starting point, whence future enquiries may take their form. I ^ 136. In this view it is of some importance to place now on record, the course which the experience gained on this occasion points to as the most likely hereafter to ensure accuracy. 137. The return should be compiled not from averages of the number of persons to a house, but from actual enumeration of the people, which should be made on a certain day to be previ- ously fixed. The best time to take for the operation would be the close of the year, (December 31st), for it is the period when the people are most at leisure, and when European officers can 174 best move about to direct tlie operations, to prevent abuses, and to check the returns. 138. The names of villages and the area columns may be pre- viously filled up from the latest and best information available, and with the greatest degree of care of which the process is sus- ceptible. 139. The population of all agricultural villages should be as- certained through the Putwarree, under the direction of the Canooiigoes and Tuhseeldars. In large towns, where there is a considerable non-agricultural population, and where the division into Mohullahs probably exists, the enumeration may be best conducted through the Mohullahdars, aided by the Chowkee- dars, under the direction of the Thannadar or Cotwal. 175 140.

In the above form the names of the masters of houses should be previously entered as nearly as may be before the fixed day. On the 1st January the enumerating officer should go round to each house and enter in his return the number of persons, who slept in the house the preceding night. The returns so filled up should be immediately sent in to the Tuhseeldar or Than- nadar, and promptly tested by enquiry at a few of the houses. 176 142. It is not necessary to discriminate the boys and girls from the men and women ; — the distinction is not a certain one, and only leads to inaccuracies. Hereafter, when the proceeding becomes better understood and established than it now is, it may be possible to classify the people as to their age, but that can- not now be attempted with any hope of a true result. 143. The definitions of a house or family, and Agriculturists and non-Agriculturists, may remain as in the printed circular let- ter of October 22nd, 1846. Strangers should be entered in the return separately from members of the family, to point out the more clearly to the enumerating officer, that all, whether mem- bers of the family or strangers, who slept within the house on the night of December 31st, are to b^ entered. This will the more need to be observed in the case of those who, whether in Serais or private houses, are in the habit of entertaining tra- vellers. 144. In classifying the cities, towns, and villages according to their population, as has been attempted in this Memoir, it should be remembered that often a large and well known town appears in the Revenue Records as a Mouzah bearing a perfectly distinct name. Not unfrequently also a lai-ge town is situated on the confines of several villages, so that in order to obtain a full return of its inhabitants, the population of several Mouzahs would have to be added together. Large cities often do not appear at all in the list of Revenue Mouzahs. 145. It is hoped that there is nothing in the preparations or in the proceedings here mentioned, which is calculated to alarm or annoy the natives. In order to familiarize their minds with the subject, a translation of this memoir into the vernacular dialect will be published and circulated to all the public autho- rites. It will remain for the Government at some future time, when they have reason to believe that the object of the opera- tion is well understood, to determine the time when u new census shall be taken. APPENDIX. 146. With a view to placing on record any statistical informa- tion which might be procurable from districts not mentioned in the body of this Memoir, the following memorandum was for- warded on the 30th March 1848, to the officers in charge of the districts named. Memorandum. 1st. Measures are in progress for compiling and publishing ^ Memoir, giving the statistical information set forth in the accompanying table, with as much accuracy as can be attained. 2nd. The districts therein mentioned are however only those which constitute what are called the Regulation Provinces. There are many other portions of country directly or indirectly con- nected with the North Western Provinces, regarding which it is desirable to obtain the best information procurable, although it may not be so complete as can be furnished from the old possessions. 3rd. A copy of the rough statistical return may be sent to each officer in charge of such a district, and he may be requested to fill up to the best of his ability, from such sources of infor- mation as are at hand, those columns which contain facts, they being Nos. 1 to 10; 14, 15, and IJ to 23. The other columns, viz. Nos. 1 1 to 13 ; 16 and 24, contain only deductions from facts, and are of little use if the facts on which they rest are not known to be correct. 4th. It will be very desirable that the officer who fills up the return should state the grounds on which he makes each entry, 178 so that a correct estimate may be formed of the value attaching to the entry. 5th. The returns, with the explanation, may be sent direct by the officer who fills it up to this office, and should reach it by May 1st next, or as soon after as possible. 6th. The information thus obtained will be embodied in the contemplated memoir. 7th. The parts of the country to which this memorandum refers are the following : British Territory.

Captain D. Ross, Superintendent of Jaloun, supplied, \inder date the 6th May 1848, the following particulars with re- ference to the statistical information furnished by him, which will be found in the above general table of the N on- Regulation Districts. *^ In the table I have filled in the details of area and assess- ment with reference to the Pergunnahs noted in the margin, (comprising Jaloun proper) from the pa- pers of the Professional Survey which was completed in 1842. The details in regard to the Jhansi Ceded Pergunnahs of Duboi and Gurotah, and the confiscated Jageer of Chirgaon, were necessarily taken from the Kanoongoee and Putwarree records, these Pergunnahs having come into our possession after the completion of the survey ; the details, however, in regard to them may be considered as correct as can possibly be obtained from such sources, in the absence of a Professional Survey." 149. Captain Ross furnished the annexed table of population in Jaloun proper, as ascertained at the survey of 1842: — 1. Mohummedabad. 2. Etoura Raipore. 'Ji. Jaloun. 4. Kuiiiiar. 5. Mote. 6.

'* From a rough census of the Jhansi Ceded Pergunnahs andChirgaon, their population amounts to 70,000, which, added to the returns in Jaloun Proper, makes the total amount 2,46,297. The population in many villages has increased since the survey, owing to the return of people who left the country during the famine of 1837-38, and every year the cultivation is extended. At the present rate of increase, there will in a few years be no more culturable land untilled throughout the district than must of necessity be left fallow, but the Jumma of the present settle- ment is probably as high as it ought to be at any time to enable the landholders to meet their engagements in bad seasons* without a demand for remissions. There is hardly any irriga- tion in this district, and the crops depend entirely on the perio- dical rains." 2. — Saugor and Dumoh. 151. Captain G. W. Hamilton, Deputy Commissioner, Ist class, supplied the following information on the 24th June 1848, with reference to the entries in the table for the districts of Saugor and Dumoh. " The information given in columns 3, 10, 14, 15, 17? and 18, is taken from the official records, and may be considered au- thentic. *' The details in columns 4, 5, 6, 7? ^j and 9, are founded on the settlement statements of 1834 and 1835, corrected by sub- sequent survey. My own observation and experience have, however, shown that these documents are not to be depended upon, and that the actual extent of the land considerably ex- ceeds what is entered in the returns. No scientific survey of the district has ever been made^ and the Malgoozaree lands alone have been regularly measured by the native method. When these lands have been subsequently remeasured their actual extent has proved to be greater than the measurement entered in the settlement papers. The revision of the rent-free tenures has also shown that the extent of these lands has been greatly under-rated, probably to the amount of 50 per cent. The bar- 182 ren lands were entered on a rough estimate, and little observa- tion is required to perceive that that estimate is far below the truth, particularly in Dumoh. Tlie measurement was originally given in district acres of 4,900 square yards, these have been reduced to statute acres of 4,840 square yards. I have increased the extent of the Malgoozaree land 10 per cent, and the Lakhi- raj lands 25 per cent. In Saugor, the barren lands have been increased 7^ per cent, and in Dumoh, 125 per cent. Enormous as this license may appear I believe I have not yet reached the real extent, for according to a tolerably accurate map of the extent, tiie area of Saugor exceeds 1,700 geographical miles, and of Dumoh 2,400, giving a total of 4,100 geographical square miles. " The population returns are based upon enumerations made at different periods. Among these the principal are : — A very careful census of the old district of Hutta, taken in 1829; a census of the districts of Saugor and Rehlee from village returns made in 1831 ; a census of Scindia's Pergunnahs, completed in 1837; a complete census of the whole district completed in 1841, partly on actual enumeration and partly on estimate; returns of the inhabitants of the principal towns drawn out on the establishment of the Chowkeedaree tax in 1841 and 1842. These documents have been collated and corrected from partial returns subsequently received. A few Talooks which were formerly omitted have been added to the enumeration, with six villages lately annexed to the district. The division into agricultural and non-agricultural classes, and into Hindoos and Mahomedans, has been made solely on estimate. The returns do not include the population of the Military Cantonment and Sud- dur Bazar of Saugor ; with that addition, the entire population of the district will amount to nearly 7j00,000 souls." 3. JUBBULPORE. 152. Major .J. Macadam, Deputy Commissioner, 1st class, furnished on the 13th May 1848, the following remarks upon the entries relating to the Jubbulpore district given in the statistical table : — 183 (( Columns 4, 5, 6, 7> 8 and 9 have been prepared from re- turns which were made out by the Canoongoes previous to the 2nd five years' settlement of the district in 182G. The calcuhi- tion was made by them in Toosehs, which has been reduced to Beegahs at the rate of 4^ to one Tooseh, and the Beegahs have been converted into acres, allowing Ij Beegah to one acre. The Tooseh is generally allowed to yield 4^ Beegahs, but in almost every instance in which I have had occasion to measure patches of land, I have found it to yield a great deal more, and in many instances more than double. These columns cannot, therefore, be looked upon as giving a correct return of the area of the district. " Columns 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, have been filled up from information collected by the Canoongoes and Putwarrees in 1847, and I believe they give nearly a correct return of the popula- tion ; the remaining columns have been filled up from the office accounts.'* 4. HOSHUNGABAD. 153. Captain J. K. Spence, Deputy Commissioner, 1st class, furnished the follovring remarks on the returns for the Hoshun- gabad District, under date the 24th June 1848 : — " In column 3 every village in the district is entered, i. e. Malgoozaree, Maafee, Oobaree or quit-rent, and waste villages are all included, agreeably to the General Register kept in my office. " As no regular survey of the district has yet been made, I have been obliged to take the entries shown in columns 5 to 9, from the calculations on which the current settlement was based, and of course it is only reasonable to suppose that there may be some inaccuracies in them, but as Major Ouseley, the officer by whom the settlement was completed, took the greatest pains in the preparation of those documents, and had also the benefit of long local experience to assist him in testing them, I am of opinion that their general correctness may be fairly relied upon. 184 " The amount entered in column 10 is taken from the Kist- bundee, and must be correct. " Columns 11 to 13 contain mere calculations upon the en- tries in columns 5, 6, /j and 10, and admitting the correctness of the latter, the former are of course correct also. " The amount entered in column 14 is taken from the monthly- Hal Towzees and the annual Juma Wasil-baqee, and that shown in column 15 is the amount passed by the Civil A.uditor on ac- count of fixed establishment, Sudder and Mofussil, during the year. " The entry in column 16 is calculated upon the amounts given in columns 10 and 15. " The amount of stamp collections given in column 17 is calculated from the monthly registers of sales, and the Abkaree Collections entered in column 18 are taken from the monthly Abkaree Towzees and annual Juma Wasil-baqee. ^' When the census of the district was taken at the time of making the 20 years' settlement, the total population was found to be 2,05,4/6, of whom 1,95,846 were Hindoos and 9,630 Ma- homedaus ; of the Hindoo population 91,318 were agricultural, and 1,04,528 non-agricultural ; and of the Mahomedans, 551 were agricultural, and 9,079 non-agricultural. From a census lately taken it appears that the population now amounts to 2,42,641, but unfortunately no calculation of castes, nor of the agricultural and non-agricultural classes has been made, so that I am unable to supply any entries in columns 19 to 22, and have therefore only exhibited the total population in column 23." 154. The distribution of the population omitted by Capt. Spence, has been supplied according to a proportion proposed bj'^ Lieut.-Col. Sleeman, Commissioner, Saugor and Nerbudda Ter- ritories, by which, of the increase to the population since the settlement amounting to 37, 165 souls, 17? 150 was added to the Hindoo cultivators, 18,157 to the Hindoo non-cultivators, 103 to the Moosulman cultivators, and 1,755 to tlie Moosulman non- cultivators. 185 ' 5. — Seonee. 155. On the entries relating to the Seonee District, Captain II. Wakeman, Deputy Commissioner, 2nd class, reported as follows, under date the 9th May 1848 :— ^^ I received charge of the Seonee District in the middle of last month only from Captain Skene. Some days after my arrival the accompanying return was placed before me for sig- nature, and on my calling for the authorities from which it was compiled I ascertained them to be principally the papers con- nected with the decennial settlement, which was inade in 182/. On further enquiry I find the whole of the 20 years' settlement papers are in the office of the Deputy Commissioner, 1st class, at Jubbulpore, which circumstance prevents my even comparing the entries in the return with the latest on record, and I conse- quently fear they must be far from correct. As, however, I found the return prepared, and as its transmission is requested by the 1st of May, or as soon as possible afterwards, I have not deemed it advisable to retain it longer ; but should it be con- sidered expedient I will endeavour to compile a fresh one with greater accuracy hereafter.'' 6. NURSINGPORE. 156. With regard to the entries in the statistical table respecting the Nursingpore District, Captain E. K. Elliot, Deputy Commissioner, 1st class, supplied the following expla- nations under date the 5th May 1848 : — " Columns 1, 2, and 3 — need no comment. " Column 5. The entry under column 5 (3,21,160 acres) has been calculated from the settlement papers, and at the rate of 75 acres to 100 Beegahs. Thus from the records the number of Beegahs is 4,28,213; equal at the above calculation to 3,21,160 acres. The Beegah in this district is 60 yards square. No measurement of the district having ever taken place, it is im- possible that the area here entered can be a coi'rect one ; 1 should say that the result of the survey will show more than double. 186 *' Column 4. The entry in this column has been calculated on the assumed correctness of column 5, and at the rate order- ed, viz. 847.2 acres per geographical square mile. " Columns 6, 7, 8, and 9. The entries under these colunms have been taken from the settlement papers and on the assumed correctness of column 5. Here again the calculation of 7^ acres to the 100 Beegahs has been adhered to. " Column 10. The demand for 1846-47, agreeably to the dis- trict Jumabundeee, was 3,01^571 rupees. '^ Columns 1 1, 12, and 13. The entries under these columns need no explanation. '^ Column 14. The entry here shows the amount of land re- venue collected during the years 1845-46, to be 3,00^458 rupees. *' Column 15. Under this column has been entered the cost of the whole of the establishments drawn for monthly, in the Revenue Department. Thus : — Deputy Commissioner 1st class (less the amount drawn for in the Military Depart- ment, 60-14-0), Rs. 739 2 Sudder Omlah, 323 English Office, 200 Treasury Establishment, 109 Tusheeldars and Naibs, Chuprassees, &c.,. . 1,225 Monthly, 2,596 2 Annual, 31,153 8 " Some reduction ought in fairness to be made from this amount. Thus for instance, the Deputy Commissioner performs his duties as a Magistrate, &c. &c. in addition to his revenue work. One half of his salary ought to be charged for in the .Judicial Department. Again, it should be borne in mind thaj; the Tuhseeldars and their Naibs perform Foujdaree duties in addition to those connected with the Revenue Department. There are 2 Tuhseeldars and 3 Naibs in this district, but this number would not be required were revenue duties alone ex- pected from them. The Chuprassees also attached to the Tuh- 187 seeklar's Cutcheries, perform alike Foujdaree and Revenue work. One half too of the English Office should be looked upon as requisite for the Judicial Department. I mention these facts because from the entry nuide under column 16, it will be seen that the per centage of revenue charge on the demand is as high as 10 Rs. 5as. 3 pie, whereas where the calculation made more in accordance with the actual cost incurred in makins: the collections, the per centage might be considerably reduced. Column 17. " The amount of stamps collected during the year 1845-46 was 75953 Rs. 8 as. The cost of collections by a stamp-vender on a salary of 7 rupees a month is included in the Treasury Establishment. Column 18. " Collected during the year 1845-46, rupees 24,282 ; cost of collections included in the Revenue Establish- ment. Columns 19, 20, 21, and 22. "These columns cannot be fil- led up at present, the manner in which the census of the dis- trict was taken last year not admitting of the information in the form desired. This will be corrected during the approach- ins: survey. Column 23. " During the early part of last year, I obtained a census of the district, for police purposes, and I believe it to be a tolerably correct one, although Males 91,280 . . .^ . . ? Females, 84,727 it lias not been drawn up m the gS: u"1t ;: j:."!: :: -uS' ■™'"™'^ »°^' '''^.^i'-^i by the Lieut.- Governor. This shall be rectified 2,54,486 1 . , durmg the approachmg survey. I incline to thrnk that the amount of population herein entered is rather under than over the mark. Column 24. " This calculation is the division of the preced- ing column by column 4." " In conclusion, I would add with respect to column 5 that the Jageer of Delheree, consisting of 24 villages, and yielding to the Raja an annual rental of about 20,330 Nagpore, or 17/241 Co.'s Rs., has not been included in the area, no settlement having ever been made, and there being no means at hand of ascertaining with any degree of accuracy, the probable extent of the Jageer." 188 6. — Baitool. 158. For the Bnitool District, Lieut. A. Ternan, Deputy Commissioner, 2nd class, supplied, under date the 27th June 1848, the particulars entered in the table, but furnished no in- formation as to the data from which the several results had been obtained. 7. — Umballah. 159. Captain S. A. Abbott, Deputy Commissioner, 1st class, at Umballah, furnished a statistical table under date the 19th Aug. 1848, and wrote as follows: — " The greater part of the district is unsurveyed and unset- tled, and the government lands form but a small portion of the area in which the British police control exists, which may be estimated at 2,175 square miles of 640 acres. " Stamp paper was not in use during the year under repoi't. " Of the Pergunnahs surveyed and settled, with the excep- tion of Soolur, all are under a summary settlement only, and that Pergunnah has only recently been settled, but is not yet sanctioned. ^' The Abkaree collections in these states are very trifling, owing to the great intermixture of estates and governments, which precludes the possibility of a strict excise. " The census of population at command is only very partial, and taken from the surveys. " The very small specimen afforded gives a higher rate than the average of the district, as it includes the city of Umballah, and excludes lands in the vicinity, not government property. " The revenues, including the political collections, are esti- mated at 6,25,899 rupees. " The cost of establishment includes the Sudder and Tuhseel Omlah, not the superintendence, which in a district with such diversified duties, caimot be fairly estimated. " The Deputy Commissioner, Superintendent and his assist- ants and Deputy Collectors, are all employed in Magisterial, 189 Judicial, Fiscal, and Political capacity, and the proportionate rate in consequence of extensive Kham collections cannot be shown." 8. — LOODIANA. 160. Captain W. H. Larkins, Deputy Commissioner of Loo- diana, submitted the following information with respect to the statistical return for that district, on the llth May 1848 : — '^ With the exception of the Pergunnahs of Loodiana and Busseean, which lapsed to the British Government in 1835, the remaining Pergunnahs (as per margin) comprised within the sphere of the Loodiana jurisdiction, have come Jugraon. Akaigurh. into our possession at different periods since the Noorpoie.' early part of 1846, or within the last 2 years, and Buddowai. have not yet been surveyed ; consequently the en- Goongranah. trics iu columns 5 to 9, which were prepared at Baiiooiepore. ^.he time of the summary settlement on the mere Macheewaiah. aggertion of the proprietors, cannot be looked upon Ootallah. 11^ 1 Dheraroo. as corrcct ; far from it, for I have every reason to suppose that the areas of the different villages have been considerably under-rated, and this will account for the apparently high rates exhibited in columns 11, 12, 13. " The Pertjunnahs of Loodiana and Busseean have been re- gularly surveyed and settled for 20 years. The remaining Per- gunnahs have been summarily settled for three years, com- mencing from the Rubbee of Sumbut 1253 Fuslee, correspond- ing with A. D. 1846, and the entry in column 10 is taken from the Kistbundee and Hal Towzees of the past year, whilst column 14 shows the gross collections of land revenue on accoinit of the preceding year when the district was half what it now is ; for during the last year considerable additions were made to it, by the Escheats from Nabha and Aloowaleeah, as well as the transfer of the Pergunnahs of Jugraon, Akaigurh, and Busseean from Wudnee, on that district being broken up in the early part of October. 190 *' The entries in column 15, 16 and 18 are taken from the treasury accounts of the district for 1846-47. I would beg leave to state that stamps have only been introduced for the use of our civil courts since the month of July last ; consequently this heading remains blank. " As regards the entries in columns 19 to 23, they have been prepared since the receipt of your letter now under acknow- ledgment by the different Tuhseeldars, through the means of the Putwarrees and Chowkeedars of each village, and they cannot therefore be considered as correct, and moreover I fear that an error has also been committed in the calculation, as the entries made in the accompanying statement merely shows the male cultivators and non-cultivators, and it was meant probably that the whole population, male and female, should have been shown in these columns." 9. — Kythul and Ladwa. 161. The entries relating to Kythul and Ladwa in the general statement, have been filled in from the survey papers, and re- present the district as it now stands, exclusive of the Pergun- iiahs of Thaneisur and Rudour, which have been transferred to it from Umballa since 1846-47, and regarding which at the time of making the report no data were available, except as to the number of villages, which was 117? and the demand which, for 1846-47, was rupees 77,262. Regarding the population columns, Mr. G. Campbell, De- puty Commissioner, reported as follows under date the 18th July, 1848:— 162 " The number of agriculturists and non-agriculturists is furnished by the survey, but is evidently very erroneous. This is a purely agricultural and pastoral district, and the proportion of n on -cultivators entered is greater than in almost any district of the N. W. P. " The respective number of Hindoos and Musulmans is a rough guess without data." 191 10. — Ferozepore. 1G3. Captain C. Browne, Deputy Coniniissioner of Feroze- pore, supplied the following information regarding that district, on the IGth May 1848 :— " The return now submitted refer only to the district of Ferozepore, as it stood previous to the war. " The data on which the entries have been formed are : 1st. — The records of the survey made by Captain Browne. 2nd. — A report of the district drawn up by Major Lawrence. '^ After the war the following very considerable tracts of country were added to the Ferozepore district, viz. Pergunnah Kotekapoora, valued at 80,000 Rs. per Annum. Ditto Khaye ditto 10,837 ditto Ditto Buggoowalla ditto 6,724 ditto Ditto Zeerah ditto 22,307 ditto " Of Kotekapoora, the greater portion has since been trans- ferred to the Furreedkote Raja ; a part of it as a grant from Government for his good behaviour during the war, and a part in exchange for other territory more conveniently situated with reference to Ferozepore^ and the remainder for annual cash payments. " These changes are only now completed, and added to other considerable alterations from Pergunnahs received from the late Wudnee district, makes it impossible to include all in the re- turns now submitted, more especially as all the lately acquired territory has been settled in the most summary manner, and in absence of all data for supplying the information now re- quired." 11. HOSHIARPORE. 164. Mr. R. Cust, Deputy Commissioner of Hoshiarpore, re- ported, under date the 3rd May 1848, that on the subject of area, and the proportion of cultivated land to the uncultivated or cul- turable, or the amount of population, he was unable to form any approximation from the want of data, but that in the course of the next year all the information required would be available as 192 the revenue survey was then nearly completed and the Khusrah commenced. — He filled up a few of the headings for 1848, as shown in the general table, and upon these he intimated that perfect reliance could be placed. 12. JULLUNDER. 165. In reply to the Government requisition for statistical information regarding the Jullunder district, Lieut. E. Lake, the Officiating Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent, intimated on the 12th of April 1848, that there were then no data, but that in a year the most correct and trustworthy returns would be available, as by that time the measurements in progress would be completed. 166. He was informed that a rough proximate calculation would suffice for the present, and he was requested to furnish this to the best of his ability. No further communication has however been received on the subject and the headings for Jul- lunder in the table are consequently blank. 13. — Kangra and Kooloo. 167. Mr. George Barnes, forwarded on the 19th of April 1848, separate tables for the district of Kangra proper, and the dis- trict of Kooloo, and remarked as follows : — " Kooloo is nominally only a Tehseel division of the Kangra Deputy Commissionership, but the character of the country, and the manners, customs and agricultural institutions of the people are so dissimilar to the rest of the district, that I have thought it best to give the statistical details of the province in a separate form. " I regret that the information is so scanty : but, as the sur- vey has not yet reached this district, I could not possibly give the details of area, nor the rates of revenue deduced therefrom. " The population columns are also necessarily blank, as no trustworthy census has yet been madc.^' 193 168. With regard to the area of the two districts, Mr. Barnes, subsequently furnished the following rough estimates : — " Kangra proper, which touches on the Sutlej and on the Ravee, is not less than 90 miles in length, and about 30 miles in average breadth. The superficial contents may thus be esti- mated at about 2700 square British statute miles : of this area I should think two-thirds were cultivated. " It is very difficult to give any approximation to the area of Koolloo. By the Map compiled by Captains J. A. Hodgson, and J. D. Herbert, Surveyors (sheet No, 47) the distance from the Sutlej, opposite Kotgurh, to the head of the pass whence the Beeas rises, is about 7^ miles, and the genei-al breadth of the country may be about SO miles, thus giving a superficial area of 2250 square miles. But this does not include Lahoul, which again comprises a tract of country equal to 1600 square miles more. Thus Koolloo, including Lahoul, may be roughly com- puted to contain 3850 square British statute miles. " Writing on conjecture, I should think that the entire cul- tivation of Koolloo does not exceed five per cent, of the whole area. The land revenue is scarcely 60,000 Rs., and at the average rate of 8 annas an acre, the total would be only 1,20,000 acres, equivalent to about five per cent, of the whole.^' 14, — Ajmere, British-Mairwara, Meywar-Mairwara AND MarWAR-MaIRWARA. 169. Lieut. Col. C. G. Dixon, Superintendent of Ajmere and Mairwara, reported as follows, under date the 5th May 1848, on the returns for the districts of Ajmere, British-Mairwara, Mey- war-Mairwara and Marwar-Mairwara, under his charge. " The information respecting the total areas has been afford- ed by Lieut. Vanrenen, Revenue Surveyor; that of Ajmere is deduced from actual survey, those of Mairwara are computed in part by survey and pai't on assumption. The cultivated, culturable, and Lakhiraj lands have been computed in part on measurement, as refers to the Ajmere Khalsa villages. We have no certain data i-especting the lands of the Istumrardars 194 and Jageerdars. Our assumption lias been framed from docu- ments prepared by Messrs. Wilder and Cavendish, with such further information as could be obtained by the managers of the different estates. The amounts of collections have been prepared from the Office accounts : so also in respect to the Re- venue charges, collections from Stamps and Abkaree. The population has been taken by the Tuhseeldars and Thanadars, since the receipt of your orders, and may be considered as an approximation to the truth." 15. — Bhutteeana. 1/0. The Superintendant, Captain E. Robinson, furnished on the 22nd May 1848, the following particulars with regard to the entries for his district : — Column 4. " The amount entered is exclusive of the waste lands on the Bickaneer and Bhawulpore boundaries, as shown in Captain Brown's Map, for since the preparation thereof a large portion has been alienated from the district. The extent of that left it is impossible to state accurately without measure- ment, but at a rough calculation it may be quoted at 11/ Geo- graphical miles. Columns 6 to 9. '' The details have been supplied from the revenue survey in 1841. Since then (taking the average of vil- lages which have recently vuidergone a second field measure- ment), I am of opinion that an addition of at least 2-3rd should be made to the amount shown in the former, and a cor- responding deduction in the latter column. Columns 19 to 22. " The details are the result of a census now taken of 427 villages, the remainder being calculated at the average thereof. " The census was undertaken by the Paishkars, Canoongoes, Thanadars, Mohurrirs, and Custom Mohurrirs, about one vil- lage to every ten being purtalled. The results were generally found correct. " The population of western Ilurrianah, being chiefly Noma- dic, is always fluctuating. From February to July it is at the 195 lowest in consequence of great emigration to the banks of the Sutlege, for the purpose of grazing the herds of the district. Of the remaining portion of the Hindoo agricultural class, at least §rds are absent engaged in traffic, by hiring out their camels and bullocks. " From July to December, the country may be said to have the full number of its inhabitants, for with the arrival of the monsoons, all return to cultivate. During this period, the amount of population may justly be estimated at the very least ^rd more than what is shown in column 23.^' 16. — KoTE Kasim. J 71. With reference to the particulars given in the rough table, relative to the Teiool Pergunnah of Kote Kasim, Sir T. T. Metcalfe, Agent to the Lieut.-Governor at Dehlie, supplied on the 29th April 1848, the following information : — " The extent of area is that which was ascertained at the time of settlement by actual measurement, according to the method which obtains in the Revenue Survey, by a native who was formerly attached to that department. The correctness of this was subsequently tested by a measurement by Ameens, under the supervision of the Tehseeldar and Peshkar, the cul- tivated area being at the same time carefully compared with the Putwarrees' annual papers. " In respect to the census of the population, this has been done by the Putwarrees of each village, who from their inti- mate acquaintance with the population were not likely to be misled in their calculations. The work was examined by the Tehseel Mohurrir, and finally tested by the Tehseeldar, by taking at random a few estates. " On the receipt of the Government requisition, and in order to ensure as much correctness as possible, I deputed an expe- rienced Mohurrir on my establishment, in concert with the Tehseel Establishment, to revise the details, with a view to cor- rect any inaccuracies which might have crept into the original preparation of them." 196 1/. — Deura Dhoon, Jaunsar and Bawar. 172. The following information respecting the districts under his charge, was furnished by Mr. Alexander Ross, the Superin- tendent, on the 27th April 1848 :— " The district under my charge is divided into two distinct portions, not only diftering from each other in general con- dition, but subject to totally different systems of manage- ment. The one (Deyrah Dhoon) has been regularly surveyed for Revenue purposes, and is in all respects subject to the Re- gulations of Government, — while the other, the Pergunnah of Jaunsar Bawar has never been surveyed, is an extra-regula- tion district, and is subject to a system of management peculiar, I believe, to itself. The returns of the Dhoon, therefore, are not only much more full, but they are necessarily much more accurate. " The information now offered in a Tabular form regarding these two portions of the District having been collected at dif- ferent times, and not with a view to these returns, I shall re- mark separately upon the statistical returns of each portion or Pergunnah. '' First then in regard to Deyrah Dhoon proper. The parti- culars entered in the accompanying tables are gathered from different sources. The number of villages is ascertained from the settlement Register. The area is that of the professional survey of 1838, made by Major Browne, and is believed to be perfectly accurate, — as likewise is the detail given in columns 6, 7, 8 and 9, the relative proportions of which however will be found on a re- survey to have undergone some alteration in con- sequence of the increase of cultivation, which has taken place in the healthier parts of the Dhoon during the last few years. *'Inthe amount returned as "Land Revenue" is included the Revenue from the forests, lately become a large item in the receipts of this district, while in the " Revenue charges" is in- cluded the Huq Mookuddumee, amounting to Rupees 5,085, which though hitherto regarded as a deduction from the gross Land Revenue, and therefore entered in the column of charges. 197 should more properly be considered as forming part of the pro- fits of the proprietary body, and will accordingly, on the com- pletion of the revision of settlement cease to be collected, — and will then neither form part of the Gross Revenue nor be re- turned as a charge upon it. *^ Lastly. The population returns are the result of a census made in the year 1845, under the directions of my predecessor, Mr. Vansittart, and may, I think, be depended upon as tolera- bly accurate. It includes men and women, adults and children of all ages. " The census of the rural part of the district was taken by the Mohurrir of the Revenue Department, in concert with the Putwarrees and Mookuddums of the several villages, and the returns in several instances having been tested by the Tehseel- dar, were presumed to be generally accurate. *•' The census of the town of Deyrah was taken by the Teh- seel Establishment in concert with the Muhunt of Deyrah ; — that of the stations of Landour, Mussoorie and Raj poor, by the Kotwal and Jemadars of those places, and the result in these cases was submitted to and approved of by the Superintendent at the time. I regret much that the sudden call for these returns has prevented me from adopting any measures to have these population returns tested. Nevertheless I believe they would on examination be found tolerably accurate." '^ The Pergunnah of Jaunsar Bawur, although placed with the Dhoon, under the superintendence of one officer, is totally dis- tinct from it in situation, geographical features, inhabitants, customs, and lastly, in Police and Revenue management. " This Pergunnah is an extensive tract of hill country lying between the rivers Jumna and Touse, the latter of which joins the former at the foot of the first range of hills at Kalsee, which is the capital of the Pergunnah. The Pergunnah once formed part of the kingdom of Sirmoor. *' Having never been surveyed for revenue purposes, it is out of my power to furnish any information in regard to the relative quantity of cultivated and uncultivated land in the Pergunnah, nor to fill up any of the columns of the statement calculated to show the rates of assessment. 198 " The actual expenses of the Revenue Estahlishment are light, but, as in the case of the Dhoon, items have been included among the charges which cannot properly be so regarded, — such as the allowance to the Chountroo and Seanas or head- men, and the road allowance to the amount of 2,400 rupees, leaving only rupees 500 as the bona fide cost of the Revenue Establishment. '' The population returns, although not to be relied on as perfectly accurate, I believe nevertheless to be a very fair ap- proximation to the actual amount. A census was roughly taken imder my directions in the early period of 1847, the agency employed being Kirpa Ram, the Mahajun in charge of the col- lections, the Pergunnah Canoongoe, the Seanas or head-men of villages, and the village Karkoons or Putwarrees. The returns were made with much minuteness and confidence, and although in consequence of my inability since to visit the Pergunnah owing to the pressure of other business, I have been unable to test these returns, yet I do not think on examination that they would be found very wide of the truth.^' 173. The area entered in the statement has been roughly calculated from the map. 18. — Kamaon. 174. Mr. J. H. Batten, Senior Assistant Commissioner in Kamaon, forwarded on the 12th May the following information in reference to the entries in his Statistical return : — " It will at once be conceded that in a mountainous and wild country like Kamaon great difiiculty attends the preparation of Statistical returns, and that only a slight approximation to accuracy, in the matter of area and measurement in general, can be attained in the existing deficiency of detailed Survej^ " The number of Mouzas recorded in the Statement corre- sponds to the number of Mehals for which separate Revenue engagements have been taken, and does not show the dakhilee holdings, many of which are without separate inhabitants, and a large proportion of which can hardly boast of more than 2 or 3 cottages. 199 The area in square miles has been roughly calculated from the parallels of latitude and longitude, within which the district, of Kamaon proper, including the Bhote Muhals, is contained and from this the area in acres has been derived in accordance to the mode shown in the heading of Column 4. " With reference to the number of cultivated, culturable and Lakhiraj acres, it is requisite to state that in the hill part of the province, the sole measurements known are those found- ed on the Nalee and Beesee, which are areas calculated by measures of capacity, having reference to the seed required for sowing them, and on the actual square measure which Mr. Commissioner Traill, after many enquiries and trials, deduced therefrom. The account is as follows : — Nominal Measure. 2 Seers of seed wheat equals 1 Nalee of land. 40 Seers, or 1 Maund, equals 1 Beesee. Square Measure. 12 Yards >c 20 Yards= 240 Square Yards= 1 Nalee. 240 ditto X 20 Yards=4800 ditto = 1 Beesee. " In the Bhabur, or Plain pergunnahs, the cultivated and culturable area is that of the actual Survey made in acres of 4840 Square yards in 1845, and the number of actually mea- sured acres in the lowlands was added to the assumed Beesee area of the highlands, as exhibited in the settlement records and native books of measurements. " The total area of the Province having been calculated as in the manner detailed above, (i. e. from the parallels of latitude and longitude,) it follows that the real content in acres is very much larger than I have stated it to be, my numbers represent- ing the area of the plain surface covered by the hills and answering to the base of a triangle, while the actual area must be represented by the superficial content of the sides. It would, however, be vain to attempt any theoretical approxima- tion to the truth ; actual Survey alone can be depended upon, but, with this explanation, the area entered in the Statement 200 will, I hope, be considered sufficiently accurate, the vast extent of inaccessible mountain contained in it being taken into con- sideration, and I have therefore merely deducted the cultivated, culturable and Lakhiraj from the total area of the Province, and entered the result as barren. 175. "• The following allotment of Salaries has been debited under the head of charges of Revenue Collections, viz : — Half of the Salary of the Commissioner. Half of the ditto of the Senior Assist, ditto. Half of the ditto of the Junior ditto ditto. Half of the ditto Sudder Umlah. Whole Salary of Deputy Collector and Treasury Establish- ment. Whole ditto of Tuhseeldaree Establishment. Whole ditto of Canoongoes. Whole ditto of Government Putwarrees. '^ The time of the Commissioner and his Assistants is chiefly occupied in Civil and Judicial duty, and by placing one half of their pay in the cost of Collections, the charge under that head is more than is fair, but as, hitherto, the whole of our salaries have appeared as those of Revenue Officers, I did not think it right now to place more than half against the Judicial and General department ; in the same manner it would not have been improper to have similarly apportioned the pay of the Tehseel- daree and Putwarree establishments, which are in a great measure employed in Police duties. " In the absence of any recent census, I have added only 10 per cent, to that taken by Mr. Traill in 1824, but I am induced to believe that a much larger increase than this has taken place, and as Mr. Traill made his estimate only for the number of houses, I have attempted no detail of the distribu- tion of the inhabitants. However, I may here state that in my opinion the Mahomedan non-Agricultural population do not exceed ^l^th part of the whole. )} 201 19. — GURIIWAL. 176. Captain H. Ramsay, the Senior Assistant Commissioner in Gurhwal, furnished the following remarks upon the several Columns of the Statistical return forwarded by him on the 29th April, 1848 :— '' The entries in columns 3, 6, 7? 12, 13, have been taken from the settlement records. Those in Columns 10, 14, 18, are furnished from the Annual Revenue statements. The parti- culars required by Cols. 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 16, cannot be ascertain- ed. Col. 15. — There is no separate Revenue Establishment in Gurhwul. Col. I7. — Stamps were not used in Gurhwal during the years 1845-1846." 177. With respect to the population. Captain Ramsay stated that his predecessor. Captain Huddleston, had made a rough census in 1840-41, but he did not consider it sufficiently correct to entitle it to a place in the statement. On being requested to forward this census, applying to it any conjectural corrections which his experience might suggest, he furnished tjie following return with his remarks thereon : — -a tf5 rn V 3 c ^ c to m "5 . s '6 1 03 3 t-1 V) S 5 43,112 43,815 28,552 17,295 132,774 29,422 44,798 34,502 22,328 1,358 366 1,32,744 '^ I have been assured that the Putwarrees, by whom the returns were prepared, so misrepresented the object, that the Purdhans not only concealed as much as possible the number of people in their village, but paid the Putwarree (to obtain this, the misrepresentations were no doubt made) to report even a less number than they had themselves admitted. Many villages were left uncounted altogether. "I have compared the Mouzahwar 1840-41 census of the Dussalie Puttee (where my camp now is) and find that some In illustration of this I have 202 villasres I have counted contain tliree added a statement showing the times the number shown as their return made in 1840-41, ami the „ i„4.; • .1 e _„ . 1 present population of 12 viUases. P^pulation in tne former return ; and no doubt there are many absent who are not included in the present reckoning. I have no hesitation in saying that the number shown in the return for 1840-41 might be doubled, perhaps even trebled, and then it would not fully show the population of Gurhwul.

Lieutenant H. L. Evans, Political Assistant in Nimaur, furnished, on the 29th April 1848, the following remarks, with reference to the entries for British and Mahratta Nimaur, under his charge : — 203 " Column No, 3 shows the number of Mouzuhs, as well inhabited as uninhabited. The latter are to the former in the proportion of 5 to 4. This column is of course correct. " Column No. 4, has been filled in by computing the area of each Pergunnah^ by its average length and breadth, in com- mon miles, (of 1760 yards.) This is obviously a mere estimate. " No. 5 has been estimated in Beegahs by the Pergunnah Komavisdars, and afterwards reduced to acres. It does not differ so much as might have been expected from the estimate formed in miles by me, being on the average one quarter less ; and as it has as much chance of being right, I have given it as stated by them. " Nos. 6 and 7 are taken from the measurements of the last 2 years, and are of course as nearly correct as can be. " Nos. 8 and 9 have been estimated by the Pergunnah Komavisdars, by deducting the total of 6 and 7 from Column 5, and are therefore mere estimates depending on it for their accuracy. " No. 10 shows the clear Government Revenue ; shares of Zeemeendars (i. e. Mundloorees and Kanoongoes) having been deducted ; the gross Revenue for British Nimaur being Ru- pees 50,366, and for Scindiah's portion 1,53,088 ; Total Rs. 2,03,454. It is of course correct, and the amount was realized, with exception of Rupees 1,538, remitted. " No. 14 is also correct. This was the second year of draught in Nimaur. "No. 15 is also correct. In that for British Nimaur are included the salaries of the Political Assistant, Deputy Collector and Magistrate, and the pay of the whole of the Sudder Am- lah : but not of the Assistant Superintendent, who is not con- sidered to be on the revenue Establishment. That for Scindiah's Nimaur comprises the pay of the Deputy Collector. "No. 17 is not applicable to Nimaurj where stamps are not in use. '^ No. 18 is perfectly correct. " Nos. 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 are very tolerably accurate, a cen- sus having been made last year by Captain French's orders, through the Patels and Putwarrees. 204 " No. 24. Depends of course for its accuracy on No. 4. No regular map of Niniaur being in existence, the area of it in square miles must of course be matter of guess-work, more or less accurate." 21. — Jawud Neemuch. 179. Capt. Mackintosh, Superintendent of Jawud Neemuch, furnished under date June IGth, 1848, the following remarks on the entries relating to the district under his charge : — " Column No. 4 has been deduced from No. 5, which has been filled up from the Putwarree's accounts, c alculating at 2 Beegahs to one acre. Nos. 6, '] , 8 and 9 have likewise been filled up from the Putwarree's accounts ; No. 10 has been tilled up from the Revenue accounts; also No. 14. No. 15 has been taken from the monthly abstracts of Establishments and contingent Bills ; No. 18 from the Revenue accounts, and Nos. 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 from the rough census taken by the Tuhseeldars." 22. — Chunderee District. 180. Major P. Harris, the Superintendent of Chunderee, sub- mitted under date the IJth July 1848, the Statistical Statement for that district, and attributed the difficulty and delay in prepar- ing the document to the opposition of the Thakoors who held Oobaree and Maafee villages ; to the want of Putwarrees in some of the villages, and to the fact that the cultivation of the villages had never been enquired into, or the Lumburdars in any way interfered with when they paid their rent punctually. 181. He fui'ther stated that " as strict injunctions had been issued to the Superintendent of the District not to measure the Malgoozaree or Rent-free Lands on any pretence, he had been obliged to trust entirely to the vague accounts presented by the village Putwarrees, under the jealous supervision and instruc- tions of the Lumburdars." " The ])opulation of the District has been calculated by the number of houses, allowing 4 souls to each habitation, and the tribes have been entered at a rough guess. Mussulmans are very few in the District. The city of Chunderee, where the 205 much-prized fabric, the celebrated Chunderee cloth, is manufac- tured, is their only residence." 182. Columns 10, 14, 15, 17, and 18 have been filled up from information furnished by the Accountant's office, the Superin- tendent's entries being for the wrong year. 23. — KuciiwA.HAGURn AND Bhundere. 183. Captain D. Ross, Superintendent of Jaloun, furnished on the 4th May 1848 a return for the Ceded Districts of Kuch- wahagurh and Bhundere, under his charge, with the following remarks : — " The Government demand and the collections made in the years noted are entered in the Treasury Accounts and Touzees rendered by me to the Accountant, North Western Provinces. " The details of the area of these Districts, showing the quan- tity of lands assessed, and those which are Lakhiraj and barren, are compiled from the records of the Kanoongoes and other District officers, and from those of the village Putwarrees. *' No Survey of these Districts having been made, there are no other means of gaining information on these points, and I believe that the records, which are kept with great minuteness, would not be found much out, if tested by a professional survey. "Column 17 is left blank, because Government have not yet sanctioned the introduction of stamps in the Ceded Districts. " I have not inserted in Column 23 the amount of population. According to a rough census, the preparation of which was entrusted to the Tuhseeldars, the amount is about 1,00,000, but I do not place confidence in its correctness. A minute enquiry is now in progress, which will give correct details in course of the current year. " In a new District the institution of enquiries into the dis- tribution of the lands, the rights of Maafee holders, and a cen- sus of the population, naturally gives rise to a little distrust, and desire of concealment, but I am fully confident that before the expiration of the present Quinquenial settlement, all the statistical information required by Government will be fully ob- tained." 206 24. — HURDA AND HiNDIA. 184. The officer in charge of these districts failed to reply to the requisition for statistical information which was made to him. 25. — Manpoor. 185. Lieutenant R. L. Taylor, Deputy Bheel Agent, remarked as follows on his return respecting the Pergunnah of Manpoor, dated May 1st 1848: — *^ The Pergunnah is now being measured, as each village comes into Khalsa. *' There are thirty-one villages, (Manpoor exclusive), of which one is Inamee, six deserted in the hills, and sixteen inhabited solely by Bheels. '^ The Pergunnah contains eleven pukka wells and twenty- one kucha. The zameendar receives a fourth of the land revenue." FINIS. ERRATA.
