 BENGAL REGULATIO::--J 2 oF 1793

 (THE BENGAL LAND-REVENUE R EGULATION' 1793) (1]

 fist Ma;•, 1793 .]

 A Regulation for abolishing the Courts of Mal Adalat or Revenue Courts and transferring the trial of the suits which were cognizable
 in those Court3 to the Courts of Dewani Adalat ; and prescribing Rules for the con- duct of the Board of Revenue [ [2 ]1 and the
 Collectors.

Preamble

###### 1. In * * * f [3 ] ] Bengal the greater part of the materials r equired for tl:te numerous and valuable manufactures, a nd most of the other·principal articles of export, are the prod uce of the lands: it follows that the commerce, and consequently the wealth of the country, must increase in proportion to the exten- sion of its agriculture.

 •lie But it is not for commercial purposes alone that th e encoura-
 gement of agriculture is essential to the welfare of these [S tates] [4 ]
 The Hindus, who form the body of the people, are compelled,
 by the dictates of religion, to depend solely upon the produce of the lands for subsistence ; and the generality of such of th e lower
 orden of the Natives as a re not of that persuasion are, from hab!t
 ing or necessity, in a similar predicament.

 .ors The extensive failure or dest!llction of the crops that occasio-
 nally arises from dmught nr inu ndation is in ro nsequen c::e in- variably followed hy famine, the ravages of which are felt chiefly
 by the cultivators of the soil a!J£! the manufacturers from whose
 labours the rountrv derives botn its subsistence and wealth.
 Experience h~ving evinced that. adequate supplies of grain
 , of
 are not obtainable from abroad in seasons of scarcity, the country
 must neces,arily continue subject to these calamities until the proprietors and cultivators of the lands shall have the means of
