It would be extremely difficult ^uat now to say definitely whether
rn Assistant will be pezw nently required here or not.I should say
that we must malco up our minds thct one will be required for at
least two years-thereafter I think it should be possible to so
arrange the work,by giving extra work to the Levy Officer,to make
it possible to carry on without one or at any rate without a
, British Officer, for by that time , sett lemej^nt of landed propoerty
being finished & a proper system for registering transfers of
property having been introduced,court work of an intriC' te nature
will be greatly reduced. At present numerous cases arise,often of a
sowewh? t complicated naslittre-frequently involving foreigners-which
it is impos ible to eitpect the 3haik to be able to settle without
assistance & advice by the Political gent.We are clearing off
a large number of these,but the work is handicapped for the want
of a proper survey,a8 soon as that is done we could get property
properly settled in the course of a few months, ^t wojrld be tedious
here to go into details f but there is indescribable chaos as regards
the record of rights in property. In numerous cases Shaik ias^ had
sold property vhich did not belAng to him, sometimes twice over.
Previously nobody could afford to complain,now they have no hesitat
ion. Cases of over ten years standing ve do not go into,as there
would be no limit & it has been agreed that ten years possession
constiti.tes a definite right to the property,but there are m^ny
recent cases.Gradually we are settling them & often there is no
fair way out except for thn Government to compensate one of the
parties.3haik Hand is placing up well £ anxious to get all these
matters settled. It would not be possible to hand over such matters
for settlement in a lower court & they take up a ]ot of time.What
