In
this place your Committee think it proper to state the 17th article of
the regulations of the Committee of Circuit, formed in May, 1772, by
the President and Council, of which Mr. Barwell was a member, together
with their own observations thereupon.
17th. "That no peshcar, banian, or other servant, of whatever
denomination, of the collector, or relation or dependant of any such
servant, be allowed to farm lands, nor directly or indirectly to
hold a concern in any farm, nor to be security for any farmer; that
the collector be strictly enjoined to prevent such practices; and
that, if it shall be discovered that any one, _under a false name,
or any kind of collusion_, hath found means to evade this order, he
shall be subject to an heavy fine, proportionate to the amount of
the farm, and the farm shall be re-let, or made _khas_: and if it
shall appear that the collector shall have countenanced, approved,
or connived at a breach of this regulation, he shall stand _ipso
facto_ dismissed from his collectorship.
