Halma is precisely the detested corvée of the French régime. “Les corvées sont tout ouvrage ou service, soit de corps ou de charrois et bêtes, pendant le jour, qui est dû à un seigneur. Il y avait deux sortes de corvées : les réelles et les personnelles, etc. Quelquefois le nombre des corvées était fixe : mais, le plus souvent, elles étaient à volonté du seigneur, et c’est ce qu’on appelait corvées à merci” (Art. ‘Corvée,’ Dict. de l’anc. Régime). Almost all the exactions for the last century in Mewar may come under this latter denomination. - [Previous: v1.c19.s10.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v1.c19.s10.14) - [Next: v1.c19.s11.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v1.c19.s11.1) - [Up: v1.c19.s10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v1.c19.s10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v1.c19.s10.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v1.c19.s10.15) · Pramāṇa
