Administrative divisions-Thádas-Administration-Police-Income-tax-Revenue-Ex- penditure - Local taxation-Crime and criminal classes - Education-Post-office, Administrative divisions, Hardoi is divided into four tabsils and twenty-one parganas, (see preliminary table). The tahsils are Hardoi, Shahabad, Bilgrám and Sandila. These were slightly altered from the previous arrangement in 1869, but the changes are of no importance. The pargana Sara as divided between two tahsils. The police arrange ments of Hardoi are similar to other districts. There are a number of town police maintained by the different municipalities. Police statistics are shown in the following tables :- Statement showing the area of thánas of district Hardoi. No. Name of tháus. Arca in square miles. No. of villages. Population.

Two of the paid native civil judges can decide cases in which the property litigated does not exceed the value of Rs. 5,000. The general police number 458, and the town police 90; their annual cost amounted to Rs. 62,261 in 1871. There is one policeman to every four square miles, and to every 1,700 of the inhabitants. The total cost of administration, including police, was Rs. 1,49,736 in 1873, but the table given further on from the Accountant-General's returns is perhaps more trustworthy.
