ABSTRACT

In Bhairabnagar cultivation had retrograded and the former dowl was simply renewed, while no settlement seems to have been made of Ismailpur, which contained only 310 bighas. At the settlement of Bansipur in 1836 the talukdars had recused, but they came forward and no taufir being found, the settlement was concluded with them with effect from 1835. The resettlements in the resumed Bakarganj estates that had been commenced in 1843 were carried out in agreement with the Presidency Commissioner’s orders explained in paragraph 141. Contemporaneously with the revision of the settlements in Bakarganj, Uma Kanta Babu took in hand the settlement of lands in that district cleared under the amalnamas granted by his predecessors. Mr. Shawe divided it into two portions and granted out the south portion in 1842 as Kumariyajola alias Panchakaran Garardiya, while he reserved the northern for settlement with the talukdar of Debraj.
