176.

Bruce's Code is a set of rules for the management and administration of X including the servants, enacted by East India Company in 1821 A.D. These were the well-defined rules formulated as a code having 42 provisions to ease the administration of X on the basis of customs and previous usages without interfering in the day-to-day affairs. The objective of the Britishers in taking over X was to generate fixed revenue to the circar(government) by organising the income of X to prevent misappropriation and mismanagement of funds through systematic administration. In 1803, the then collector of Chittor, had sent a report to the board of revenues showing the full account of the institution, together with schedules, expenses, and extent of lands etc., known as "Statton's Report" on the X. These reports though small are in the same lines as the earliest report submitted to the british government on Puri by "Grome" and "Garrett". British rulers used "Statton's Report" to control and manage the institution till a set of rules for the management of X and the servants, were framed in 1821 A.D known as "Bruce's Code". Bruce, the then Commissioner of the district formulated a Code containing 42 provisions, known as "Bruce's code" for the guidance of the X administration.
