Every two or three villages were superintended by a Carcoon, under the Turufdar or Talookdar, who had charge of a small district, and was either a Bramin or Purvoe. A Mahratta Havildar² was stationed with each of them. Over a considerable tract there was a Soobehdar² or Mamlitdar,³ who had charge of one or more forts, in which his collections both of grain and money were secured.
