ting forth that this measure is the length of sixteen cubits, and 

 that of this ten go to measure the side of a beegah — in other 

 words the beegah consists of twenty-five thousand six hundred 

 square cubits, or six thousand and four hundred square yards, 

 which is just the Madras cawney, or one acre, one rood, eleven 

 poles and seventeen and a quarter yards ; one plough, it is said, is 

 capable of tilling two beegahs at a time. That is, two beegahs in 

 the poonas, and two in the ruhhee, or two in the ahee and two in 

 the tabee ; but this is rather a rough estimate, as much must depend 

 on the quality of the bullocks, and also their number. Six coonsoos 

 of rice are looked on as one beega's sowing, and another measure 

 more rude is applied to land producing dry grains. As much land 

 as a man seated on a bench can scare the birds from, is said to be 

 the labour of a plough, or two beegahs, but this would seem to be 

 very much over-rated. 



^ , Enam lands are constantly classed with jag- 



heers. In this circar there are three killadaries, 

 those of Warungul, ZufFergur, and Thatconda, with two villages in 

 the first, one in the second, and one in the third, nominally for the 

 support of the forts, but in reality for the subsistence of the killa- 

 dar. The killadar of Warungul is a man of family, connected with 

 the Nizam by marriage ; he has a very indifierent reputation ; his 

 revenue is said to be Eupees 5,000 and upwards a year. 



The killadar ship of Zuffergur yields about half that sum to the 

 kiUadar Kyunt Tar-jung, and Thatcondah Eupees 5,000 to Kajan 

 AUikhan. 



The JSTuwab Soorajool Moolk holds pendant with four adjacent 

 villages as his personal jagheer for subsistence. 



Baiapursad, andEajah Nauneck Euksh, sons of the late minister 

 Chundoolall, held jagheers, as they are called, but without being 

 subject to the entertainment of troops — in fact enams, the first 

 to the extent of Eupees 38,820, from sixteen villages in the ta- 

 look Kowlapoor, pergunna Hussenabad, and from twelve in the 

 talook Merrecondah, a few miles south of Warungul. The second 

 Eupees 15,203, from forty-one in the pergunna of Yelpcondah. 

 Both these enams were considered forfeited soon after the resigna- 

 tion of their fathers in 1843, and their revenues have been sine© 

 collected by government.
