Scope and Content

The accounts are of two types, one giving the date and cost of employment for various types of labourers; the other giving summarised wage and batta information. Both types also include lists of extraordinary charges for the month. The two account types do not seem to complement each other. The summarised accounts exist for each month, the detailed accounts only from March 1752.
