INDIAN ARMY.
GOYERNMENT GENERAL ORDER.

A PUNDIT AND A NOOLVEE TO BE ADDED TO EVERT

REGIMENT.

Fort IVilliam, March 4, 1825.

1. It is hereby directed, that a pundit 'and a moolvee be
added, from the Ist proximo, to the Interpreter and Quarter-
master's Establishment of every Regiment of Native Cavalry
and Infantry of the Line, on an allowance of (eight) 8 sonat ru-
pees per mensena each. These men, as well as the regimental
moonshee allowed to each interpreter; shall be borne upon the
muster rolls of that officer, with the rest of his establishment,
regularly paid and accounted for in the acquittance rolls, and
drawn for separately in the abstracts by name.
2. The pundits and moolVees are expected to be well versed in
the native languages : the first in the llindee and Nagree read-
ing and writing ; the second in the Persian ; and their duties
will consist in attendance at all Courts-Martial or Courts of
Enquiry to swear in the Members of the Court, and the evi-
dences according to their respective faith. They will likewise
swear in all recruits previous to joining the Regiment, with
the usual solemnities in front of the colours, after completing
their course of drill, by which time the recruits will have ac-
quired a stronger sense of the obligation. It will be their duty
also to assist anti direct all men in the corps anxious to qualify
themselves for promotion by the acquisition of reading and
writing in one or both languages, and generally to perform all
similar duties that may be assigned to them by the Command-
inglOfficer, or the Quarter-Master of the Regiment; sixty (60),
sonat rupees will be admitted for a shed, as a school, and for
stationary, &c. to be drawn by the interpreter and Quarter-
master, annually, and in adw.nce.
3. The instruction of the men in the essential knowledge of
reading anti writing, to qualify them for Non-commissioned
Officers, should be duly encouraged by Commanding Officers,
and the formation of schools promoted under the tuition of the
monshee, pundit, and moolvee; and while Government would
wish to refrain from interference in the amount of considera-
tion payable by the pupils to their masters for the trouble and
time devoted to their instruction, it is still essential that a maxi-
mum shall be fixed, to limit the demands of the latter. It is
therefore directed, that no sepoy shall pay more than two annas
per mensent to each or either of his teachers, and that no havil-
dar or naick shall be charged more than four annas per mensent,
for the period of his instruction, either in II indee or Persian.
The study or attendance to he entirely voluntary, and the de-
tails regulated by the regimental monshee, and the Interpreter
anti Quarter-master of the corps, under the authority of the
Officer commanding.
4. From and after the Ist July, 1826, no sepoy will be pro-
moted to the rank of a non-commissioned officer, in any corps
of the line, without a competent knowledge of reading and
writing in at least one language, except for distinguished con-
duct or bravery in the field.
