ABSTRACT
The State of Mysore was under British administration from 1831 to 1881, when it was restored to its native Rajd, on his attaining his majority. In non-Regulation territory, broadly speak- Noning, a larger measure of discretion is allowed to the officials, both in the collection of revenue and in the administration of civil justice; strict rules of procedure yield to the local exigencies; and the judicial and executive departments are to a great extent combined in the same hands. A wider field is also permitted for the selection of the administrative body, which is not entirely confined to the Covenanted Civil Service, but includes military officers on the staff and also uncovenanted civilians. The early development of the Indian land system was due to two conditions,—a comparatively high state of agriculture, and an organized plan of administration,—both of which were supplied by the primitive Hindu village community. The vocabulary of our own land system is borrowed from the Mughal administration.
