The former had authority to levy the government dues in Candeish and part of the Balaghaut; the latter was vested with similar authority in Buglana, and a right to realize the dues established by usage from Guzerat. Kanhojee Bhonslay, the Sena Sahib Soobeh, had charge of Berar Payeen Ghaut, and was privileged to make conquests and exact tribute from Gondwaneh to the eastward. The Sur Lushkur had Gungthuree, including part of Aurungabad; Futih Sing Bhonslay was appointed to the Carnatic; whilst the general charge of the old territory from the Neera to the Warna, and the collections from Hyderabad and Beder, were left to the Pritee Needhee and the immediate agents of the Raja. The Chitnees had particular charge of several districts in the Concan. The Punt Suchew enjoyed the revenue of the whole Sahotra, besides his old possessions in Jagheer. The agents for collecting the Raja’s Zumeendaree dues were styled Naib Surdeshmookh. - [Previous: v1.c19.140](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.140) - [Next: v1.c19.142](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.142) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.141) · Pramāṇa
