General description of different kinds of duties collected from
Bara, Parsa, Saptari
and Mahottari districts of Nepal's Tarai
in 1817, including a rough note on land revenues from
Butwal, Chitawan,
Sarlahi and Morang. It seems
that Hodgson was simply trying to estimate the total revenue that the
British authorities were collecting each year from these areas of the
Nepal Tarai before their return to Nepal, which was agreed at the end of
1816. Paris Bradshaw was
in charge of negotiations with Nepal regarding border disputes between
Nepal and British India only until he was replaced by Ochterloney at the
beginning of 1816. It is difficult to see how revenue could have been
collected during 1817 under Bradshaw's authority and there may be an
error here. Cross reference for Tarai
