The assessment was, indeed, made by the heads of the principal Ahbun families of the district, with Mahommed Hussan Khan as chief assessor.

One hundred and thirty-two thousand were collected, and six thousand were remitted in consequence of a partial failure of the crops.

Last year, by force and violence, the landholders of this division were made to agree to an assessment upon the lands in tillage of ten thousand and five hundred rupees, of which not six thousand can be collected.

The other three divisions are in the same state.

Not one-tenth of the land is in tillage, nor are one-tenth of the villages peopled.
