Sultanpur.–The district of Sultanpur lies on both sides of the Gumti, being bounded by Fyzabad on the north, by Partahgarh on the south, and Jaunpur on the east. The district as present constituted differs entirely from that which existed prior to 1869. It will appear that there were formerly twelve parganas in Sultanpur, of these geven remained in the Dew district which also received four- Isauli, Sultanpur Baraunsa, Alde- mau, and Surharpurt from Fyzabad. Of the five remaining one (Subeba) went to Bara Banki, and the four others—Inhauna, Rokba Jáis, Simrauta, and Mohanganj—to Rae Bareli. The area of the district, however, was little altered, and the population only rose from 930,000 to 996,000. The object was to render the district more compactly arranged round the headquarters and to secure sasier means of access to the courts and authorities for all the inhabitants. This object was achieved at considerable cost, and the confusion of statis- tics so caused has not yet been cleared up. The old district. Tahsil. Pargana. Number of mauzaa or townahipa.
