HILLS NEAR RA JAMAHALL. IOJ 



land fixed the salary of- ten rupees per month for 

 each chief of a Tuppah, three rupees ditto for each of 

 his JSaibs, and two for the Muungy of each village, 

 from which there shall be a man enrolled in the hill- 

 rangeis; but from such as supply not a man, the infe- 

 rior Maungy receives no monthly allowance. In con- 

 sideration of these establishments, I understand, the 

 chiefs are not only responsible for thepeaceable deport- 

 ment of their own adherents, but bound to deliver 

 over all delinquents, and disturbers of the public peace 

 within their own limits to the collector, to be tried by 

 an assembly of the chiefs, either at Bhaugulpore or 

 Rajamahally as already related. It has ever been cus- 

 tomary on these occasions to feast the chiefs so assem- 

 bled. When any report is to be made to the collector, 

 it is the duty of a Naib to wait on him with it, should 

 the chief be indisposed or otherwise prevented. 



From these happy and admirable arrangements, 

 digested by Mr. Cleveland, whose name ought to 

 be dear both to the natives of the hills and lowlands, 

 the ease, comfort, and happiness of the former is ensu- 

 red (for which they are grateful, and speak of him with 

 reverential sorrow) and peace and safety secured to 

 the latter; and if they have any goodness, they ought 

 not to be less thankful. These solid and essential 

 benefits are attended comparatively with but a trivial 

 expence, and must ultimately be an advantage to 

 government. 1 have been led to say more on this 

 subject than I intended; yet it may not be thought fo- 

 reign to it, to add, that the Aumlah and 7,emlndars 

 erected a monument to the memory of Mr. Cleve- 

 land,
