Rh up the rights that you have in virtue of the Sunnad-Mulk-et-Istimirar (Permanent Cowle), of alienating your Samasthanam to others by sale, by a free gift, or in any other manner, you had better intimate the same to us by means of a written petition.

"Those Zemindars who thus represent, in a written form, their willingness to give up their rights of alienation, will never be deprived of the advantages promised to them; nor shall a summons be ever issued for their attendance in person in any court of justice without the sanction of the Government being previously obtained. It has also been decided that those ancient Zemindars, who comply with the conditions above referred to, should be entrusted with the administration of the police in their zemindaries; and sanction will be granted to them to conduct the police work by their own men in accordance with the custom in practice in their districts.
