Scope and content
I have already sent you details of the sale and purchase of opium in the province of Bihar. The rates of duty charged on opium in the province of Bihar as laid down by the rules and regulation from a long time past are as follows: -- On any transactions made by Muslims the duty is 3 rupees on every hundred rupees worth of goods; for Hindus it is three rupees and twelve annas; for French and Dutch nationals it is five rupees and twelve annas. -- Instead of all these three rates it would be better to have only one rate imposed. -- Enclosure 1: -- Details of duty paid by the Dutch, French and English traders on the sale and purchase of opium in the province of Bihar. -- Enclosure 2: -- Continuation of the above with details of duties paid by the Dutch and French kothis [factories].
