 any districts 

 situate to the 

 north of the 

 river Tunga-

 lieu of which 

 the Nizam

 regular payment of the expense of the

 are Beliary (except the feudatory Native 

 State of Sandur, vide Acq. Xo. XLY), 

 Cuddapah, the feudatory Xative State of 

 Banganapaili and Kurnool. 13 



The expression not unfrequently used in 

 official correspondence of " the Ceded 

 Districts and Kurnool " as if Beliary and 

 Cuddapah were ceded to the British 

 Government at one time, and Kurnool at 

 another, is erroneous.

13 The district of Kurnool yielded to the Nizam and afterwards (up to 1839) to the British 

 Government a land revenue of Pagodas 66,666, or Bupees 2.44,431 only (subsequently reduced 

 to 1,00,000 rupees), being the peshkash payable by the hereditary Pathan Xawabs of Kurnool. 

 In 1839, the Xawab was deposed and the country brought under direct administration. Subse- 

 quently the district has been enlarged by the addition of taluks taken from Beliary and 

 Cuddapah.
