c27.s3.8

*Ninth.*—In lands subject to fixed revenues, if any non-preventable calamity overtakes a sown field, you ought to inquire carefully, and grant remission to the extent of the calamity, as required by the truth and the nature of the case. And in realising revenue in kind from the remnant, see that a net one-half [of the produce] is left to the ryots.
