3. Those brought under cultivation by the Burghers. 



4. Those in the occupation of the Todas.

 have been accustomed to pasture their herds. 



IV. Lands usually under tillage by 

 the Burghers, are, it is understood fof

 have to be assessed according to the 

 rates paid on land of similar quality in 

 the nearest agricultural village, unless 

 when the land be within a specified distance from Ootacamund ; in 

 which case a different mode of assessment has been laid down in the or-

 and 7th January, 1837. These rates, it 

 is, however, to be observed, are charge-

 other than Burghers, for agricultwal 

 purposes ; land for buildings, com-

 5-4-0 for one Cawney in each lot, the 

 rest being subject to the assessment of 

 Es. 1-2-4 per Cawney, as published in
