All the rest, with few exceptions, perhaps are taluqdars, who from small beginnings have acquired their estates by transfer or simple farm. By such means Rája Nawab Ali amassed the greater portion of his estate; and three out of the four chief taluqdars, Ríja Chandar Sekhur, and the two Pathán taluqdars, Ahmad Khan and Nasím Khan of Malihabad, are en- tirely of recent origin, and owe their estates to what the dispossessed zamindars consider but hard measures dealt out to them. There are 268 villages in the district as now constituted, owned by taluqdars. Whether these taluqdars recognize their duties to the com- monwealth and their tenants may be almost doubted. They would seem to spend but little in improving their estates, little in promoting the comfort or happiness of the numerous classes of labourers who till their lands. If a mud well is to be dug, it is the tenant that finds the capital. If seed grain is to be purchased, it is the landlord perhaps will who aupply the money, but at a rate of interest of 25 or 36 per cent. to be afterwards repaid with the capital. This is the chief intercourse of the landlord with his tenant, and in valuing his lands and collecting his rents lie his only acknowledged functions. Sub-settlements. Out of the taluqdari villages some fifty-one and frac- tional parts are held in sub-settlement, that is, are held under taluqdars, who are the medium of payment of the Government revenue which they receive from the subordinate holders, the real proprietors, together with a fixed proportion of the profits. Under-proprietors. There are in the district very few old hereditary under-proprietors, that is, those who hold on a feudal tenure under a
