Regarding Provision for the Widows of the last incumbents of resumed holdings.—On the resumption of any lands under the Rules of this Schedule a moiety, or other portion may be continued to the Widows of the last incumbents during their lives, in cases of proved poverty and destitution. Provision 1st.—In the case of a holding, which is recognizable as an hereditary personal Inam, the widow of a proprietor who dies without surviving male issue, or other heirs to whom his Inam will of necessity descend, is by right his sole heir, and during her life, the Inam cannot be regarded as having lapsed to Government: it should therefore, in such a case, he continued undiminished during the widow's life.
