My object has been in every instance to make such an approximation to the truth as may be sufficient for every practical purpose; and, as no labour has been spared in the attempt, I feel assured that it will be found on experience that I have generally succeeded. The statistical information has been principally com- municated by Gentlemen whose situation and official employments enabled them to supply it, and to whom I submitted the bare skeleton of the Routes for that purpose. In some instances the population is stated from actual investigation, while in others the number of houses and shops is given on conjecture only. I^articular circum- stances however affect the correctness of both. The Routes through Malwa and the adjacent Provinces were principally measured during the years 1817, 181S, and 1819, when the country was slowly recovering from a state of anarchy; and the same observation applies nearly to Khandes.* The Routes in the Deccan were collected during the years 1823, 1824, and 1825, at a time when many of the districts were greatly depopulated by the united effects of cholera and famine, and the survivors abandoned their homes from the apprehension of those dreadful evils. During this eventful period some districts ^ It will be observed tbat the spelling of names varies in different parts of the work; for instance Ahmednuggur, Nassik, Kallian, &c. When pslrt of the work had been printed, it occurred to me as an improvement to dispense in some cases with the double consonant which custom has sanctioned. ( vi ) were for many months almost entirely deserted, while those adjacent obtained a small increase of population. In the Alphabetical Index to the Towns, &c. which occur in the course of the work, I have endeavoured to add the names of the province in which they are respectively situated. I am, however, not so well acquainted with geographical boundaries as to suppose my arrangement free from error. Of the ancient division of the country into Sirkars, Prants, and Soobhas, full information might perhaps have been obtained from the old territorial records in the office at Poona, but the labour of examining them would have been immense, and the result more an object of curiosity than utility. I have therefore adopted those names for provinces or divisions of the country with which most of us are familiar. It will be requisite however to mark the limits of those divisions. Beginning at the South, I have distinguished by the name of Carnatic the country south of the Toombudra. That river indeed, in its whole course, forms the best southern boundary to this Presidency that can be contem- plated. The numerous southern Jageerdars of the Mahratta State who all reside north and west of it, possess tlie greater part of the territory as far as the Bheema. The name of Doab, better known as the Southern Mahratta country, I have applied to the territory between the Toombudra and Krishna rivers above the Ghats, not however including such part of the territories of the Kola- poor and Sattara Rajahs as are situated within these limits. The Kolapoor Rajah's country is divided from that of the Sattara Rajah by the Warna river, and generally from the rich and populous country of the Southern Jageer- dars by the Krishna. The Sattara territory extends to Pundurpoor on the east, and is separated by the Neera river from the country I have distinguished by the name of Deccan. For the proper limits of the Deccan I refer my readers to Hamilton's Hindoostan, or other works of authority, the tract to which I have given that name includes only the CoUectorships of Poona, Ahmednuggur and Sholapoor. The province of Beder is to the east of this. C vii ) North of Beder, bounded by the Deccan on the west . and Berar on the east, is the Nizam's portion of the ancient Sirkar of Aurungabad, which formerly extended to the Ocean. This territory I have distinguished by the name of Nizam's in the Index. But throughout the Routes, besides the entire provinces of Beder and Hydra- bad, there are many towns in the Deccan, and Southern Mahratta country, which belong to his Highness. The whole of Berar also, west of the ^urda rjver, irom its^^ source to its junction with the'^Godavery, belongs to thef^^^S Nizam, while the territory on the east bank belongs to the^^^i^^ "Rajah of Nagpoor. Khandes, the highly fertile but still desolate valley of the Taptee, has the Sautpoora range of hills for its northern boundary, and the Indyadree or Chandore range for its southern. Meiwar I conclude to form part of Khandes. Nemaur is that part of the valley of the Nerbudda com- prehended between the Sautpoora and the nearest part of the Vindhia range, the north bank forming part of Malwa. The Attaveesee is sometimes distinguished as part of Gujerat, of which it contributes to form the southern military division, and occasionally is mentioned as part of the Northern Konkan; the name is applied in the present work to the country between the Taptee and Damungunga. By Gujerat I intend the countries between Malwa on the east and the two Runs on the west, and from the Taptee to the province of Sirowi. The four provinces in the Gujerat peninsula I have included under the name of Katteeawar, of which Okamundel is an insulated portion. Wagur is separated from Kutch Proper by the river Sahrun, and Mooltan from the latter by an extensive Run. These geographical limits are merely assumed as best suited for this work. Had I attempted more minute divisions, I should often have been led into error, while those which I have adopted are sufficiently distinct for the purposes of the ordinary Traveller and my brother Officers. It will be readily perceived that I have followed no particular system of orthography. I have not ventured to alter the spelling of such words, or names of places. ( viii ) as long usage and a kind of official sanction have made familiar, however incorrect. An uniform system of re- presenting oriental v^ords in the Roman character is unfortunately still a desideratum; and though every one feels the inconvenience, every succeeding attempt seems only to render it more hopeless. The critic in orthography must not be offended if occasional violations of every system occur in the present work. JOHN CJ.UNES. INDEX TO THE ROUTES. Stations Routes.

Four miles on the right is the fort of Rang- na, and on the left is the strong hill fort of Mnnhar, of which fable has made the god Pandoo architect. Son- gurh, Buddurgurh, Sunto, and other hill forts belonging to the Kolapoor Rajah, are seen in the distance, also the Warree country, the Konkan, and the sea.

Pautgaon is 4 miles from Hunmunt- j^urh at the top, and Banda is 4 miles from Tulkut at the bottom. There is a chokey at the foot dependent on Munhar, to collect the customs on cattle. Ghotgay ghat is a good road for cattle, excepting some bad places near the top, which is 5 miles from Paut- gaon. Sewgurh ghat is frequented by cattle from Kolapoor, who go to the weekly baz.ar at Kooriee, near the foot of the ghat.

Note. — The difference in the distance from the sea coast to Mhow between the Kaira and the Baroda route is trifling; i. e. from Kambay to Mhow, via Kaira and Godra, and from Tankaree Bunder to Mhow, via Ba- roda. The roads on both routes are equally good, but the facilities of ob- taining supplies and carriage are not the same. On the Baroda route from chota Oodeepoor to Bhopawur, a distance of about 90 miles, neither bullocks nor carts can be procured, and no provisions, except grain, and occasionally a little milk. During the hot season water is scarce and bad The people are inhospitable, and rather insolent, and the jungle is very exten sive and dangerously unhealthy after the rains. The villages are very poor and small, and the inhabitants gene rally speaking very unwilling .to as sist travellers, or to have any inter course with them, except for the pur pose of committing robbery. On the route via Kaira and Godra the villages are much larger, and all common supplies may be obtained at inostof them, and carts and bullocks at many. The jungle, though very thick in some places, is consider ably broken and interrupted, and docs not extend above 60 miles altogether, The people are more civilized and ac- commodating than on the other road, and the country abounds with game However the Bheels are very nume- rous, and robbery is so common that no native will travel by night. Guards of seven or eight men armed with matchlocks, &c. can always be procur- ed, and the traveller is perfectly safe •while under their protection. This route has hitherto been very little frequented by Europeans ; but were it more gencrallv known, I think it would always be preferred to the other. cxv.

Note — .The country from Nowa-i nnp-gur is thinly peopled and cultiva- ted, except near the villatres, but the reads are pretty good. There is much high grass over the whole country. Okamundel is separated from the main land by a Runn, over which therd are roads across at Pindtarnk or Pin- tara, and Ghorghur on the main land, and Muddi on "the Oka shore. To the last place the road is along an em- bankment 20 paces broad, erected against the-sea, and is passable at all times. Okamundel Mas inhabited by a number of independent, and formerly piratical, tribes, and the country which is covered with milk bush and bauble jungle, was favourable to their habits. The valleys are partially sown with bajreeand jooaree. There are no rivers, and the villages are supplied with water from tanks. Besides the temples of Dwarka and Shunkodwar, there are three fortified places in the province, Aramra, Beerwalla, andPositra. The Gopee Chundun is taken from a tank near the latter place. On the road which leads to Dwarka (which is 10 miles S. E. from Muddi) there arc a number of stone baths of a very hand- some structure, called Secfa Klioond, for the pilgrims to wash themselves in. This wild province has several superb pieces of architecture, and the terrace along the Goomtah^(creek near Dwar- ka) has a number 'of handsome Dhe- ris of various designs. Dheengee is 2^ miles from Muddi, it is surrounded by a very thick jungle principally of milk bush, and Dwarka or Dooarka is 10m. 2f. N. W. of Dheengee. M. V. CUT.

Note. — The hill of Aboo contains several magnificent temples built prin cipally of marble, and images, which do not less display the genius of the sculptor, than they excite the wonder of the traveller as to the means em- ployed to bring them there ; each image being represented as one solid piece. The climate is remarkably cool for the latitude, between 24" and 25°. In the hottest months the water is as cold as it is in the cold season in other parts of India. The hill is stated by natives to be 24 coss in length by 12 in breadth. The face of the coun- try on the hill is rugged and hilly, but the valleys produce abundant crops of grain. Vines loaded with grape, man- go and date trees, with the wild rose are all to be met with. M. F. 17 7 8 a 12 4 11 5 3 4 2 4 1 6 58 I CLX.

Note. — Seronge is chiefly inhabit- ed by Afghans, and is large and well built, many of the buildings being 2 or 3 stories high : it contains about 1 ,500 shops. The district attached com- prises 360 villages, and belongs to Ameer Khan. Between Bhopal and Seronge the road generally is good. There are several short ascents and descents that would occasion delay to artillery ; there are also some narrow places near the rivers, which it would be requisite to widen for heavy guns. By barometric observation this part of Malwa appears from J, 500 to 1,700 feet above the sea, and the temperature appears to be 8 degrees cooler than that of the upper provinces of Hin- doostan. This arises less from the ele vation than from the black soil, which is exceedingly retentive of moisture. In September, October, and November, fevers are very prevalent, but they are generally slight. The whole of the coun try is thinly peopled, and ill cultivated. With the exception of Bhopal, Islam nugur, and Seronge, the houses are chiefly of mud, either thatched or tiled. The inhabitants of the villages are Rajpoots, Jats, Korars, Kachees, and Meenas, but in the towns the greater proportion are Pathans. Gopalghnr is 13m. N.; Mungrow- lee, 31m. N. E. ; Basonda, 24m. S.

The set at Tendoolwaree carries to Nuldroog, to which place the Postmaster at Poona has to post bearers for persons travelling post by order of Government. When a private gentleman requires bearers to be posted for him he should be very par- ticular in stating to his correspondent whom he relies on for assistance, the day, evea the hour, on which he proposes to commence his journey; the places he intends to halt at for refreshment, and the time he intends to halt for that purpose. If neglectful of these particulars the humroals may reach their stations several days before they are required, and incur to the traveller, perhaps a great additional expence. Should the traveller, on any occassion wish to halt a day at any place, his stating his intention previously would save the posting of one set. For instance, a traveller from Bombay to Poona will meet the first Poona set at Khalapoor, and supposing that they take him to the top of the ghat to breakfast, they can, having refreshed themselves, take him on in the evening to Wurgaon ; or they might come to Karlee to breakfast and run to Wurgaon or Tuligaon in the even- ing. For the extra labour however, they would be entitled to, at least half a rupee each man, additional. The hummals at Panwell are under the Collector at Tanna, at Poona. they are under the Collector iu the city, and under the Bazar Master in camp} and this- applies also to gholapoor.

The expence is 8 annas per diem to each bearer, reckoned from the day tiiey quit their families till they return. It may be as well to mention also, that any mis- take in posting any one set may subject the traveller to great loss -of time and considerable expence.

Bearers are procurable on the spot to the extent of one set at Moonegala ; two sets at Nmidegaraa ; two sets at Ibrampatam ; and perhaps one hundred and fifty bearers at Ellore.

The Ratgoree is one mile wide, and ferried over from June to February : during the other months it is fordable. In the Ganjam district oil is to be paid for as required, and batta of one anna to each person after the first day, is 15 annas per diem additional. In the Cuttack district oil is charged when used at 4 annas each stage. If a traveller leaves Cuttack at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he will arrive at Bhareepoor, half way to Balasore about 8 or 9 o'clock the next morning, where there is a bungalow for the accommodation of travellers. He can remain at Bhareepoor during the heat of the day, start again in the evening and reach BalasOre to breakfast. Proceed again in the cool of the evening, and arrive at Dantoon, halfway to Midnapoor, early next morning ; where there is a comfortable house for the accommodation of traveller^. In like manner if li€ goes on again in the evening to Midnapoor, another night will take him to Tumlook, where he gets into a boat and proceeds up the Hoogly to Calcutta. A traveller with one set consisting of 8 bearers, 2 bungy burdars, and 2 mausals, pays 8 annas per mile, agreeably to regulation, and pays 2 annas per man per diem for detain- ing the bearers on the road. Or he may pay 3 annas per man for each stage from Tanghee to Khutnaghur, and agreeably to this the follosving is calculated : Places. Dis- tance. ExPENCE of each stage.

The distance by land, however, from Tumlook to Calcutta, is only 50 miles. Good hammals will go four miles an hour, sometimes more, but the time occupied in the journey depends principally on the traveller himself. From 20 to 22 days is a reasonable allowance for the journey to a stout man. These stages are furnished to me by the several Postmasters on route, as well as by several travellers. In the Nizam's territory, however, no two" routes in my possession correspond. Table of Distances, Erpences, S^c.

Palankeen bearers of all descriptions, 9 in a set, to be paid at the rate of 3 fanams per day, or 2 pagodas each per month. Bearers hired to go beyond the precincts of Madras, to be paid according to the distance ; calculating the rate of hire at 3 fanams each for every 10 Enghsh miles. A set of bearers required to go beyond the precincts of Madras, or to St. Thomas's Mount, Poonamallee, or Ennore, shall consist of 10, but if required for a greater distance, of 12. Bearers hired at Madras, if they go into the country beyond the distance of 10 miles, and are detained for some days, are to receive 1 fanam a day batta in addition to their daily hire of 3 fanams each. M2 Table of Ea^pences, Distances, S^c. Bearers are entitled to the daily hire of 3 ftinams, although their services may only be required for a portion of the day ; it will however be optional with the bearers to engage themselves per trip or for half hire. A set of bearers when travelling shall receive 3 single Madras fa- nams each for every 10 English miles. If a person in thexourse of a journey remains at a place, he wiust for the first three days pay each bearer 1 single Madras fanam batta; if he remains more than three, days, he must pay each bearer 3 single Madras fan am s per day. If the bearers are to travel through cross-roads, they are to be paid at the rate of 3 single Madras fanams each per 10 English miles. A set of bearers on field service to receive each 2 pagodas a month, and the head bearer 2^ pagodas. Bearers on field force are not to receive batta. Posted Bearers. If the posts or stations are divided into distances of 30 miles, the rate or charge for a set of 12 bearers shall be 12 single Madras fanams for the first station, 18 single Madras fanams for the second, increasing 6 fanams every station or post; and if the stations are subdivided into half distances of 15 miles each, then the increase upon each post shall be 3 fanams; and if into distances of 10 miles each, the increase shall be 2 fanams, and so in proportion according to the division of the posts. If the bearers are detained on the road, they are to receive 1 fanam a^ day for the first 4 days, and 3 fanams a day for every day afterwards. If after having been posted they are recalled, they are to receive for the time they have been absent, at the rate of 1 j pagoda per month, and the head bearer at the rate of 2 pagodas. If bearers are sent from Madras to any distance, to bring back a gentle- man from thence, half the hire is to be paid for going, and full hire for bringing back. In case a set of bearers who are posted for any gentleman be left at any particular post, having received their full hire to that post, any other gen- tleman arriving there, or requiring that the set be detained there oii hi» account, shall pay to the set of bearers the rates for waiting already esta- blished ; and for the distance of journey the usual travelling pay of 3 single Madras fanams for every 10 miles. No. IV. From BOMBAY to the NILGHEERY HILLS: The voyage from Bombay to Cannanore is accomplished in about 6 days, and, thence to. Calicut is reckoned 12 hours sail. Paulghautchery, distant 87 miles, is reached by palankeen dak in 24 hours ; thence to Coimbatoor the distance is 30 miles, and to the foot of the hills 28 miles further. From the bottom of the hills to Dimpatty above, is a distance of 12 or 13^ miles ; the most part of the way being a severe ascent, and taking nearly a whole night to go up in a palankeen. The whole distance from Calicut is about 158 miles ; and may be posted the whole way. The country on the hill is described as beautiful, as abounding with game, and the gardens producing roses, geraniums, &c. in profusion, with plenty of vegetables. The average range of the thermometer is about 66° in April y and from comparisons made «ttthe same time it wa&94° at Coimbatoor* Table of Distances, E.vpefices, S^c, 143 No. V. From BOMBAY to MAHABULESHWUR. Mahabuleshwur is almost equidistant from Mhar and Sattara, and forming a table land of nearly 5,000 feet, it gives rise to the different branches of the Krishna and other rivers, and is therefore the mpst elevated point of the ghat in these parts. The breadth of this table land, from the point where the road begins at the ghat leading from the valley of Sattara, until it descends on the opposite side into the Konkan, is about eight miles. The distance from Mhar to the hills is little more than thirty miles, or three easy stages ; and to those who propose to take a trip here from Bombay, I would recommend that they should take a boat as far as Mhar, via Bankoot, and then procure palankeen bearers from Dapoolee for the re- mainder of the way. Those who have enjoyed the usual cold weather of the Deckan, during December and January, will be able to form a much better general idea of the Mahabuleshwur climate from March to June, than could be possibly conveyed to them by any more minute or laboured description. The minimum of Fahrenheit*s thermometer is, sometimes, at night 64° ; a range of temperature which is only four degrees less than the maximum heat in May on the Nilgherry hills. Though the average heat at Mahabuleshwur, a little after noon, is then 80® in a house, or 20° greater than the extreme heat of the Nilgherry hills. The temperature of the former, when there are clouds, does not exceed 70°. The average variation during the day is about 12° of Fahrenheit. To those who are suffering more particularly from weakened stomach, general debility, and exhaustion, than any from any specific visceral en- largement, a residence here during the hot season presents incalculable advantages. When the secretion of the liver has been languid, it at first produces an irregular but augmented circulation in that organ, by in- creasing the tone and energy of the stomach ; and to those who might not have access to a physician, it will be satisfactory to know, that a few graia doses of calomel, the daily application of warm bathing, and the flesh brush, with the habitual use of flannel and warm clothing, are the proper correctives for this state, until, by a longer residence here, the body shall have retrieved what it had previously lost in a too moist and heated atmos- phere. Exercise, both on foot and horseback, can be freely indulged in ; to which the invalid will be naturally prompted by the bracing influence of the air, and the encouragement of a good road for a morning ride, through romantic and picturesque scenery. To the sportsman these hills offer, I fear, but little amusement ; a few hares, jungle and spur fowl, being the only game. But those to whom the voice of the blackbird and thrush can bring pleasing recollections, and who love to associate the pleasures of a happier climate with the appearance of ferns, willows, and the moss in blossom, will find here no mean resem- blance, for India, of that climate, for which, as Englishmen, we long even when the common evils of our exile are not aggravated by sickness. A temporary chupper over a tent would effectually secure the traveller from any inconvenience during the day when the thermometer exceeds 80°, which is the maximum here, in tents, for May. As the nights are cold, blankets and warm clothing are indispensable requisites. ( 144 ) List of Ghats 171 the Syhadree Range of Mountai?is, from the Rhowra Ghat leading into the Aitaveesee, to the Ram Ghat leading to Goa, Rhowra Ghat. — The ghats, or passes, descending from Giingthury into the Kokan, are, all of them, short and easy of descent, and differ materially from those of the Judyadree range near Kassarbaree, or those in this range more southerly and near Poona. In height they do not appear generally to exceed 500 feet, and the descent is rather steeper than the Kassarbary, but the great difference is, that the country throughout to the right and left of each road, which itself winds along a ridge or branch (as it may be called) of the highest hills, is completely intersected by similar ridges, extremely steep, mostly too much so, in any cross direction, for even foresters to descend ; and the whole face of the country is covered with trees, bamboos, underwood, and long grass. This makes it impassable for cavalry except by the roads, or rather paths, all of which might easily be destroyed by cutting ditches across them, where, as is generally the case, they are of earth, or by felling trees across at favourable places. From the tops of the passes, the country westward is seen to be covered by jungly hills, for at least 15 miles in every direction, and water is scarce, generally early in the dry season. The low country called Kokun, or Daung, is inhabited by Bheels and Coolies scattered over the face of the country in open villages in no way protected, nor even surrounded by hedges. The ghats north of Rhowra, as Morkurra, Hudgur, &c. all lead to Soorn- gana, {vide VII) and those south of it, as Bunwur, Pullasur, Aumbana, Oossessara, and Gaundoola, lead to Bowra . Wunassy, Wagdeo, Muha- JEE, SowL or Sawal, Ambegund andBuLSAY, lead to Peint, Kurukwal, Futihpoor, Belaulgurh, Oomergaon, &c. Peepree, Gaundwassy foot PATH, Jam,Deol, Gorky, Ooranu, Jaumla, Agsar and Wagayra. Ghats, all of which lead to Hursool, and are rather steeper than the former, and pass through a country equally hilly. Of all these ghats, the Sowl, Ambegund, and Wagayra, are the easiest. The Madras Pioneers were employed in 1818, in repairing the Sowl Ghat. The low country affords timber in abundance and some teak, which is brought up by coolies through these passes for sale at the adjacent towns of Nassick, Trimbuck, Dindory, &c. BooRuj, and Ambooly Ghats, are both of easy descent, and may be made fit for guns ; they lead to the town of Jowaur, belonging to the Jowaur Rajah. The country through which all the roads lead below the ghats is so completely covered by hills and forests as to be impassable in every di- rection, but by the roads, which are generally very bad. Seer Ghat, South of Trimbuck, leads from Deogaon above to Khundala below ; it is on the principal road from Basseen to Trimbuck, and is used by country carts proceeding to the annual jatra at the reputed source of the Godavery. The Bunjaras, who proceed by the Peepree ghat, as the most direct road, prefer this road on their return with their cattle laden. List of Ghats in the Syhadree Range, <§t. 145 The TuLL GHAT, (t)2c?e LIV.) is easy and practicable for carts, and is the most eligible for troops moving in the direction of Nassik from Bombay. The Pioneers are now at work (1826) making the road from hence to Bhewndy. .'^^^^ ^^^^' y^^€^ ^ r^^^-..^^<. ^^.a^-^r^ '^^ ^^'"""^''""^""':;t!l>^^2^ Peepree ghat, or Peepree Bhor ghat, leads from Wassula, 10 miles from the bottom, on the road to Bhewndy, to Peepree, 3 miles from the top, on the road to Nassik. The approach below is a very hard stony road, through a hilly and rather jungly country. The ghat is of easy ascent, and might be made a very good one. This is one of the usual >roads from Nassik to Basseen, Kallian, &c. From Peepree to Nassik is about 32 miles : Bhewndy is 46m. 7f. from the top of the ghat. The Goonda and Owutta foot ghats, lead up to Koolung from the Kokun. Mainda, or Mendha ghat, leads from Dholkhum by Hinglood at the bottom, to Ghatgurh, a little beyond the top of the p^ss, and thence to Rajoor. The lower part of the road is good, but the upper is precipitous stony and dangerous for cattle ; it is, however, a good deal frequented by Bunjaras. There is a little bad water procurable about half way up, and a tank at the top. From Dholkhum to Hinglood, which is a little off the road, is 3 miles : thence to the top of the ghat is 3| miles. CfiooNDA OR Choonda-Mendha ghat, 3 miles east of Dhol- khum, leads from the deserted village of Choonda at the bottom of the ghat to Ghatgurh above. The ascent is about 3 miles, and is only- passable for men or unladen cattle. It was formerly frequented, but is now so bad as to be entirely discontinued as a bullock road. The fort of Rut- tunpoor is about 6 miles from the top. Malsej ghat, north, below Joodhun, {vide IV). "^Nana ghat, south, below Joodhun, is about 12 miles from Jooneer. -f *<^ .rv*^ From Ghatgurh, which is the petta of Joodhun, to Wysakra, a small village ^'^^^^/^ below the ghat, is about 5 miles. The road is frequented by Bunjaras in ^-^ c^cx^-yx the dry season, but in the rains a part of the road, on which the rock has ~^^^--<^-'^^ been cut into steps, is dangerous for the passage of cattle. A considerable distance is saved by this route from Kallian to Ahmednuggur, but a native, having baggage and followers, would in any season prefer the circuitous route of the Khandala Bhor ghat, to any of these passes. Dus- sye is 4 miles from the bottom. BoRUNDA foot GHAT, Icads up to Byramgurh. The Owappah and Kontee, both foot ghats below Gomehgurh : the first has been stopped up. Dussye is 5 or 6 miles from the foot of it. Ghar, OoMRAH, AND GooMAR GHATS, leading up to Seedgurh hill fort, are only accessible to foot passengers. From the fort to the flou- rishing village of Narrolee below is about 2 miles.

At a disrance of about 20 miles, on the road is the small village of Kooroolshee, situated at the bottom of a small but •difficult glial, which bears its name. Having iscended this ghat, xht road Jeads along table land for 6 or 7 miles to the Rurtoondee ghat, at the foot ^ of which you cross the Koeen a river to Par, which is cojisidered the pettalj ^ /^ of Partubii-urh, a fort^^e^nile on the t^TTlie top^ of the ghat is about/'' '*' "^^ 3 miles from Par. The descent to Kinnaseer is about 4 miles,^and Phol .d- /^^^(^ poor, on the right bank of the Sawutree, is about 8 miles from the latter '.^TX^T/^ place. This route is frequented by Bunjaras bringing grain and salt to ;Sattara from the Konkan. HuTLOT GHAT, scveu miles south of Par ghat; it leads from the fort of Mukrungurh to Kher in the Kokan, but is little frequented. After des- cending, the road follows the course of the Jugbooree river about 9 miles, to Amboolee at the bottom of the erhat of that name; neither the ghat nor the approach to it are practicable for carriages. Amboolee ghat. (i;ic?e LXXV.) This ghat is N. W. from Sattara ; the Toad is not a good one, and near the top it is extremely precipitous North Teura ghat, the ghat is about 23^ miles from Sattara, and leads ■direct down to Chiploon, which is about 43 mdes, road distance, from Sat- tara. It is hardly practicable for loaded cattle, althous^h used by Bunjaras •and others. The road between Teura at the bottom of the irhat, and Chip- loon, about 14 miles: it is very bad ; and when the ghat has been passed, and the Quina river crossed, the Ossarla ghat is to be ascended- The road then leads along table land 4 or 5 miles, to the Neetrul ghat, which you descend to Neetrul a village about 1 1 miles from Sattara. KooMBHUULi'E GHAT, {vide LXIX.) is about 13^ miles S. of Teura .ghat, and is the best in this part of the range. The ghat is winding and long, but the ascent in consequence is easy; it has lately been repaired, and is the high road from the coast to Kurarh, Sattara, Sholapoor and other places. Note, — It is of little consequence that the passes into a country are easy, if the further advance therein is worse than flie pass itself. The country between the Syhadree range and the sea, comprehended between Goa and Surat, including the Warree country and the Attaveesee, is remarkable for the badness of its roads. From Vi'njTorla to Aptah there are neither carls nor cart roads, except in the immediate vicinity of Mahvan, Rutnageery, and other principal places, but as far as the Sawutree there are cattle tracts, or pathways, which usually pursue the most direct line over arid rocky uplands, and across cultivated valleys, in which the roads are usually ploughed up during the season of cultivation. From the Sawutree to Aptah and onto Panwell, h jungly country, the road often winds between hill or dingle and ie'n.. From Aptah to Surat is a cart road, but only the small cart drawn by one pair of i)iillocks is used. From Tan- nali two roads lead to Surat, one along the beach, which is perhaps the best of the two in the rains, and the other running a short distance inland: they join at Sucheen, 10 miles from Surat. But roads along tlie Konkan are comparatively but little used by either troops or traders ; the first consists of an occasional relief battalion once a season, and sea carriage is usually preferred by IheJatter. 148 List of Ghats in the Syhadree Range, S^c, Chiploon to Sattara, by this road.

MuLLA GUAT, (firfe LXXXVIII.) is about 9 miles S. of Koombhurlee ghat, and leads from Kurarh to Makhjoon in the Konkan. Mulha Pet, about 2 miles from the top of the ghat, is about 30 miles due W. from Kurarh. From Mulha, descending winds the ghat, which is about 3 miles in extent, to Puchamba, is nearly 9 miles : thence the road alontr the banks of the Gurhnee river about 14 miles, to Makhjoon, {vide XXXI and LXXXV.) which is 16 miles due E. of Veejyegurh and Jyegurh, both on the Shas- tree river. The fort of Pritchitj;urh is 4 miles S. of the Mulha ghat, and Buerogurh is 4 miles N. South Teura ghat, about 6 miles south of Mulha ghat, and 13 miles from Sun2:umeshwur, at the junction of the Sonvee and Shastra(or Jyegurh) rivers. The fort of Pritchitgurh is on the left going towards the bottom of the ghat from the village of Teura. The ascent is exceedingly steep for 2 miles; the road beins: up the rocky bed of a torrent. From Teura at the bottom, to Seedeshwur(6Jm. from the top,) is 11m. 6f. The road from the top is tolerably level until within l|miles of Seedeshwur, then leads down a difficult little ghat. Seedeshwur is about QQ miles from Meritch, and the road all the way is along the course of the Warna river to its junction with the Kistna near Meritch. KoNDHEE GHAT, is 5\ miles south of Teura ghat and about 8J miles S. 70° E. from l>Q^ff nxook, {vide LXXXV.) The village of Kondhee at the bottom of the ghat is only about 4| miles from Chandil at the top ; but the ghat is a bad one. From Chandil to Loand, on the Warna river, is 5 miles more, and here the road is joined by that from Seedeshwur. The fort of Mymuntgurh is 2|miles south of the Kondhee ghat. Amba ghat, is about 11 miles south of Kondhee ghat, and leads from Dewurook by Sakurpa Pet to Mulkapoor, and thence to Meritch or to Kolapoor {vide LXXXIX.) The hill fort of Veeshalgurh is about 14 miles S. E. from Dewurook. It is separated from the main range of the ghats by a deep chasm, excepting at the gateway, where it is connected by a small neck of land. On the north side is the Dewurraghat, and on the south the Prubhaolee; the first is impracticable for cattle, and the latter is seldom used but by travellers going to the fort, which is the residence of the Prethee Needhee of the Kolapoor Raja. The Annuskoora or Ankoosra ghat, {vide XXVIII, ) is 9 miles S. of Veeshalgurh, and is on the direct road from Kurarh to Malwan. This is also the usual road to Rajapoor, Khur^putan, &c. from Meritch. It winda. a good deal through the hills, is a good road, about 3 miles in length, and paved with large rough stone in a few places where it is rather steep* List of Ghats in the Syhadne Range, S^c. 14^ About tbe centre of the ghat is a chokey for collections on the traffick of this road. A little labour might make this ghat practicable for guns, but the approach to it in the Kokun is very bad. From Ankoosra at the top there is a good cart road, via Mulkapoor to Kurarh. KarawauUy near the bottom affords a few of the usual sup{)lies. Kajurda ghat, is on the direct road from Kolapoor to Rajapoor in the Kokun: the road was formerly passable to laden cattle, but is now stopped up, in order that the customs, it is said, may be collected at other sihats. Bawura ghat, a road for foot passengers, also frequented by laden cattle going from Kolapoor to Rajapoor. Sewgurh ghat, {vide XC.) leads from Kolapoor to Asheeamuth and Malwan. Guns have, in former times, it is said, been brought up this way, but it is now out of repair. The Ponda or Phonda ghat, {vide XXIX.) Some years ago a detach- ment with artillery descended this ghat to Warree; the road was then made practicable for ordnance, but it does not appear to be much frequented at present. With little labour it may be put in good repair. I he approach from the east is by a steep ascent of about 200 yards, and passing a short way alouii a ridge of the mountain the ascent is gradual for about two miles into the Konkan. There is much jungle and forests of large timber on the hills. This ghat is in the direct line from Sholapoor to Malwan. Ghotgay ghat, (tide XC.) leads from Kolapoor or Meeruj to Malwan. The road is bad near the top, but laden cattle frequent it. From Ghotgay near the bottom is 4 miles to Injaleea near the top. Rangna OR Pritchitgurh on\T,{yide XC.) is frequented by laden cattle from Kolapoor to Malwan. The fort, which protects the passage, gives name to the iihat. Hunoomunt or Tulklt ghat, {vide XC.) Ambooly or Parpooly gh at, by which Colonel Dowse's force descended to invest Raree. At that time the pioneers of the force in three days made it very passable for small guns. The whole descent is stony, and in no part very steep ; but in consequence of several zigzags in the road great difficulty would be experienced in getting down, or dragging up heavy ordnance. At the top of the ghiit is a large well, near which is a small piece of ground to encamp. At the bottom is a stream of fine clear water, and a small open space to encamp near the chowry. The top is 20 miles from Ajerah on the road to Belgaon and to Kolapoor. From the deserted village of Parpooly near the bottom, to the Ambooly pagoda and custom house near the top is 5| miles. The Hurneassy river, is crossed at 3| miles near its source, on the road to Kusbu Ajera. Merchants from Goa. to the Deccan seem to prefer this road. Ram GHAT, (vide LXXXII and LXXXIII.) is the great pass to the upper country from Goa to the S. W. and from Warree, Vingoila and Malwan to the W. Chandgurh is one march from it on the great road to Aj^a^ Kolapoor and Poona, whilst Patna {vide LXXXII.) is similarly situated on the eastern road to Belgam. The approach to the ghaut both above and be- low is a made road, the ascent easy, and passable for every description of wheel carriages. The general breadth of the new road finished in March 1821 is 30 feet. The tract of country below the ghat is wild, hilly, and covered with large trees, clumps of bamboos, and thick underwood, with partial cultivation in the valleys, ^^ y. y^ ,o^: ^ ^^ ___ c^.^.o ^ ^/. 2 . o ^A- /.;?e XXXVIU.) Three miles west of the Purduree ghat the upper ran^ie of hills suddenly disappear, the country becomes more open, and the ascent into Khandes much easier, or less steep. This is the principal pass from the Deccan into Khandes. There are three roads four miles asunder, leading from the villages of Waukla, Bhaudly, and Tunwarra. The two first are best for guns, and alt02:ether are very easy, but in fact the whole country, extending nearly five miles, aflfords plenty of paths and roads. Somtana ghat, is a gun road of very easy descent from Mainda- poor by Somtana to Taunkly. Between the two first places a cart road joins from the Kusba of Rajapoor, whence there is a path for men and cattle by Bowry village, also to Taunkly in Khandes. Rajapoor ghat» a gun road from Rajapoor to Saegaon and thence to Wudaly. A cart road leads also by Parnella to Saegaon. The whole f;rce * I have no account of the ghats between the Adjunta and Gowtulhi, but I conclude there are some. For a description of the range west of Adjunta, see Hauiiltou's Hindoostan, vol. II, p. 107. List of Ghats in the Indyadree Range, S^c, 151 of the country from Baudly to Maindapoor, about 12 miles, although it has no marked roads, is easy of descent. LuRsiNGEE GHAT, a Cattle road. Here the hills have a much more per- pendicular descent, and continue steep to the Unky-Tunky Pass, which is a good and open gun road. Between this pass imd the Lursingee there are the following, Mohaigaon, Tekooe, and Hauree, all of which are steep, and only practicable for foot passengers, or unloaded cattle, and even to them with difficulty. These passes lead from Maligaon to the villages from which they take their names; and the fourth, leading from Chandgaon to Banjeroowary is better than the others. At the foot of Kowtrea fort, the hills leave an openingof about four miles, the whole of which is nearly flat ; and the country has only a gentle decli- vity till it joins Khandes. Between Kowtrea and Chandore the principal separations in the hills are, first at Boargaon, leading from Khandiiaoii to Chandore; the second, which is a gun road, leads from Koondulgaon to Chandore; the third from Kandgaon to Neembaytee by Dhureylee. Chandore ghat. Ihe following passes are united in the road which leads by Chandore, having only that opening to the Deccan; first the Raura ghat, a gun road from Chandore to Chinchwa; second the Marerbarry, from Nandoo Taik to Darjrour; third, Moordar pass, from that village, and from Naundoor Taik to Waukarry; fourth. Chinch Baree, from the small bheel village of Cheezbarry to Waukarry, Kusba below, i he three last are only fit for cattle. Geernar Baree and Jarry Baree, a cart road. From this to the westward the character of the passes is changed ; and the beaten tracks are practicable ; the mountains between them being impassable even to men. BowRA Baree barely passable for cattle, leading from Kheldury above, to Bowra below, is narrow and confined by steep hills. WuDALA Baree, Katchin Baree, and Markinda Barre, are of the same kind as the Bowra. There is also a foot path between Markinda and Chuttersingee leading from Bhautora to Bhowany pagoda on Chuttersineee and to two small villages named Peepree, and from thence through a long dreary and wild country to Wurkaira. Eewotta Baree, leads direct from Won (vide LVIII.) to Abhowna, and is the best of those from Chandore. and consequently is most used. Carts pass it, though with difficulty, although it is good for cattle and camels. Between this and the Rhowra ghat, which descends into the Kokun, are the following small passes, practicable for foot passengers and unladen bul- locks ; first Korally foot path, from Korally to Dheelwary; second the Lodai pass, a narrow and circuitous route to Abhowna, barely passable to cattle; third Boorbod; and fourth Bheel ghat, leading direct to Hudgur, thence down to the Kokun by the Mcrkura pass. Under the former government all the passes in this part of the country were occupied by armed Bheels. These Bheels escorted people and cattle through the ghats, exacting money for this service, and also defended the country from intruders or other thieves. They can at a short notice collect together 150 or 200 men, who are more civilized than their brethren generally are, living in villages and cultivating lands in and near the passes which they guard, and as such, these Bheels appear worthy of support. ( 152 ) SAUTPOORA RANGE : ( The following is given from native accounts. The relative situation and distance of each pass from the other not known.) NuMTEA Cho ghat, foF foot passengcis, is distant 4 coss from Raunee- jpoora(rec?tf CXI.) KuTEEBOREE GHAT, is a good road, and if cleared of jungle, would be passable to every description of laden cattle. It leads from the Kusba of Borud or Bordu to Kuteebor, a deserted village at the top, passing Allapoor below. Akraunee ghat, leads from Sooltanpoor {vide CXI.) to Dhergaon, It has two paths, the one passable to foot passengers, has Akraunee, a town in ruins, near the top, and the deserted village of Choonakhan below the ghat. The other path, which is passable to horses, has Kulhar (deserted) at the top, and the deserted village of Dhurmpoor at the bottom. Chabula ghat, is only a foot path, but would be passable to laden cattle were it cleared of jungle. Perputee is at the top, and Chabula below; both deserted villages. DoDEYA Bawa's ghat, is passable to cattle lightly laden, and led horses: below, to th« south, is Alwun; from thence the ascent and descent to Beejlee, on the north side of the range, is 3 coss. This is the ghat called Bowaka in CXI. Chhadsulee ghat, being choked up with jangle, is impassable to laden cattle. The ascent is I J coss. The village of Katur is below, and above is Chhadsulee, {vide CXI, there spelled Chaursaylee.) BuRWANu or Sookuldewee ghat, is practicable, but a bad road for Cattle. It leads from Sooltanpoor to thetown of Burwanu; the road distance between these places is 50 J measured miles, over a succession of hills ; but it appears to be a usual route from Indore to Surat. SiNDWA ghat, {vide LIT.) this ghat leads in three tracts from Kooroond to Sindwa. The tracts called Vindyawasnee, and Nandewur, are cart roads; both strike off from the deserted villa^re of Pullusnair ; and the latter, which has no ascent, passes the deserted villasre of Shapooree. The third tract, which is the one usually pursued, is called Bore ghat, but it is not passable to carts. Chachraputee ghat, between Kooroond to the south, and Kurgoond north, is passable to laden cattle. Dholee Baree, called also Phurolee Baree, is between Chopra to the south, and Kuriroon to the north; the distance between these places is 29 coss. The ghat is not passable to carts, but is so to every description of laden cattle. By a ghat W. of this, called Dewlee Doogannee, the dis- tance is 2 coss more, but the road is not represented as better; and by another, the Cheermeer ghat, (10 coss from Chopra,) the distance is 3 coss more, {vide LI.)

WHEREAS the authority vested by Regulation VI.I. 1814, in the rs, and in the magistrates and their police officers, to assist in procuring coolies for the purpose of facilitating the march of detachments of troops, or the progress of individual travellers, has operated to encourage the highly injurious practice which prevails, of forcibly pressing certain classes of the inhabitants of the towns and vii- iaofes, under the denomination of bigaries or coolies, for the purpose of carrying baggage or other loads from stage to stage, or from village to village; and whereas the Governor in Council has deemed it expedient to adopt measures for the entire suppression of the said highly objec- tionable practice, the following Rules have been enacted, to have effect throughout the whole of the territories immediately subordinate to the Presidency of Bombay, from the date of their promulgation. Such part of the provisions of Regulation Yll. 1814, as authorized the collectors and their native officers, or the magistrates or their police officers, to give their official aid in procuring coolies for the purpose of facilitating the march of troops, or the progress of civil and military officers, or other individuals travelling through the country, either on the public service or their private affairs, is hereby rescinded. The practice of pressin^i- or compelling individuals, whether under the denomination of coolies, bigaries, or any other denomination, to carry burthens, either for the public service or for the convenience of private individuals, is hereby positively prohibited; and the several magistrates and j int magistrates are required to adopt all legal means in their power to put an entire stop to the practice in question, by enquirins: fully into all complaints which may be brought before them, and by subjecting persons regularly convicted of the offence to such penalties as, on a conside- ration of the circumstances of the case, may appear to be proper, and <;onsistent with the powers vested in the magistrates by the general regu- lations. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS, 29th January 1821. THE Governor in Council is pleased to extend to the dominions of those Native Powers in alliance with the British Government, the operations of the General Order under date the 15Lh of December 1820, prohibiting 154 Government General Orders, affecting Travellers. the practice of pressing or compelling individuals, whether under the de- nomination of coolies, bigaries, or any other, to carry burthens for the public service, or for the convenience of private individuals, and requiring magistrates to adopt all legal means in their power to put a stop to it. The attention of the Residents and Political Agents more immediately connected with this Presidency has been particularly requested to the subject; with directions to report to Government all instances that may be brought to their notice in which the present orders may not have been attended to. BOMBAY CASTLE, 17th March 1826. No. 96, of 1826. In republishing for general information the 9th section of RegulationYll, of 1814, published for the army, in the Government General Orders of the 2d of June 1815, the Honourable the Governor in Council is pleased to announce, that all Natives of whatever description, not actually in the army, including military pensioners, are prohibited from appearing in a military garb.

Pers. Persian. — Mar. Maratta. — Hind. Hindoostani. — Suns. Sunskrit. — Guz. Guzuratee. — Kan. Kanarese, Bala ghat, {bala, above), signifies above the ghat, or the country ex- tending in the form of a ghat. — It is applied particularly to the country of the Nizam within his western hills. Baree, a narrow pass through mountains ; used in Khandes. Bet or Bate, {Mar.) signifies an island ; but is generally applied as a distinguishing name to the island of Shunkodwar in the gulph of Kutch, and to the Lunka, a sacred isle of the Hindoos, famous for the wars of Ram and Rawun : in all probability the island of Ceylon. BooDRooG, or BooDROOK, a corruption of Buzoorg {Pers. great), it is aflSxed to the name of a village to distinguish it from a smaller of the same name in the neighbourhood, and which in this case has Khoord, or lesser, affixed to it, as magna and parva in English villages. BuLOOTU, or BuLLOTEE, is a term applied to the rights, privileges, and allowances paid by the riyuts in kind, or to the rent free land by which the village servants or officers are remunerated. These servants are here- ditary, and are as follows : the Joshee or astrologer, Gooroo or priest, Sootar or carpenter, Pureet or washerman, Chambhar or tanner, shoe- maker, &c. Koombhar or potter. Lobar or ironsmith, Sonar or goldsmith, Coolee or doer of all work, Ramooshee in some villages, and the Mahar, and Bheel in others, is the watchman, Nahwee barber and link-boy, Moolana or butcher, who is a Mussulman. BuNDUR, {Pars, a harbour), a quay or wharf, a place on the sea-side, or on a river where ships or boats load or discharge their cargoes. A turtee bundur is one where there is water at all times to float a vessel. Chik, Chika, Heer or Dod, {Kan.) — Dhakta, Dhakla or lahan {Mar,) — Nunnee, {Guz.) affixed to names of villages, signify the lesser Chougula, or Chogla, is the Patel's assistant. He generally performs the office of purveyor for travellers. This officer, in Salsette, has a control over the fishermen, and is the medium of communication between Govern- ment and them. Chowry, {Chawudi, Mar.) the village town hall, or Patel's durbar. It is sometimes pointed out as a place for travellers in villages where there is no dhurmsala. CuTCHERY, {Kuchyuree, Mar.) a court of justice; also the public office in the kusba where the mamulutdar transacts business. Des or Desh, {Sans, a country or province) the Maharashtra, and by contraction Maratta desh, includes the Kokun, but the term is more generally applied to the whole Maratta country east of the Syhadree range. In accordance with this the Bramins above the ghats are called 163 E.vplanation of Terms occurring in this Woj^k, Deshust, and those of the Konkun Kokunust, each claiming precedence of caste over the other. I am however inclined to concede superiority to the Deshust, as Purresram created the Kokunust by resuscitating the body of a Deshust, which he found floating upon the waters when they receded at his command, from the bottom of the Syhadree Range to their present limits, to enable him to form the country now called Konkun. Des is sometimes applied to a single pergunnah. Deshmookh in the Deckan, or Desaee in Guzurat and Carnatic, {Mar. chief of the country) a revenue officer under the late government, gene- rally a hereditary landholder in the district in which he officiated. The celebrated Sevajee was the first Sirdeshmookh, created, I believe, by the emperor Aurun^zebe. This office, which was vested in Sevajee and his successors, entitled the holder to 10 per cent upon the whole clear revenue of the state. Grants or pensions, however, used to be made upon the' Sirdeshmookhee to servants or favourites, as on all other branches of jrovernment revenue, so that much was alienated before it reached the Raja*s treasury. Deshpandya, {Mar. writer of the country), accountant or registrar of the district. He acted under the orders of the Deshmookh, and his office also was hereditary. " The Deshmookh or his people assisted in the " executive duties of general management whilst the Deshpandy furnished ** any records that might be called for, and kept an account of the col- ** lections, his Karkoon writing all requisitions to the villagers, dated and " signed in due form by the Durrakdars, ;ind confirmed by the Moamulut- " dar.'^ — Chaplin's Report. Dewan, the chief financier or manager in a district ; the minister when applied to an officer near the person of a prince. A Karkoon who has the management of a gentleman's accounts, and supposed to have influence with his master is styled Dewan and Dewanjee by those about him. Dewustiian, {Deo a God, Sthan a place,) To those villages the revenue of which is known to be assigned towards the support of some religious establishment, I have annexed dew. to mark them. Dhurmsala, {Dhurm charity, Sala a house,) a place in or near a village for the reception of travellers. They are generally either square or oblong rooms open only on one side, where the roof, which is sometimes terraced, is generally supported by pillars of wood or stone. In the walls are excavations for lamps, but there are generally no windows. They are usually very dirty from the smoke and ashes from the tires which the native travellers light round the open square for the purposes of cooking. In the rainy season they are a great accommodation to all ranks, European and native, and by a little more attention in the patels might be rendered tolerably comfortable. The turn of the richer class of natives for building such places might be encouraged by conferring honorary privileges on those who do so.— This article is suggested from Heyne's Tracts. DuiiGA, also Musheed, Rouzeea, and Roza, is a place where the tomb of some mussulman saint or peer, is preserved. Ghas-dana, {Ghas grass'. Dana grain), the contributions levied by in- vading armies as a compromise for plundering. A tribute under this name was, and, I believe, still is exacted yearly by some of the powerful princes of Central India from their weaker neighbours. Gopee-Chundun, {Gopee, the wife of Krishna, Chundun the sandal- Explanatio7i of Terms occurring in this Work. 169 woodf considered a sacred tree) is a very fine white clay which natives use in marking the forehead. It is procurable only at Dwarka {vide CLl.) in a tank which Goopee frequented. Grassia or GiRASHEE. Weil informed persons seem so divided about this people that I leave it to others to determine what they are. Tlie time is not distant when we believed them to be robbers associated from all castes, Hindoos, Braminsand Mahomedans, who, in former times, had wrest- ed lands from the original proprietors, in the peaceable enjoyment of which they are now fixed too strongly to be dispossessed. Others describe them as landed proprietors resembling the Mokasdars, Wutiundars, or Huqdars in the Deccan ; at the same time as a warlike caste, who, if injured, leave their homes, and committing depredations on the country, obtain thereby the appellation of robbers. GosAENs and Byragees, are both Hindoo religionists, but of very dif- ferent descriptions. The first are worshippers of Mahadeo; are forbidden to marry; are occasionally soldiers, traders or mendicants : in the latter pro- fession they travel in large bodies through the country, and compel the vil- lages on their route to support them : violent contests sometimes take place when the mendicant troop is large, and the village is too poor to bear their exactions; but it always ends in the severe castigation of the villagers. This violence is, I conclude, not authorized where British rule is established, but these sturdy beggars fail nowhere in obtaining a supply equal to their wants by working on the prejudices of the natives, where they cannot exercise violence. It is said Bajeerao had 7,000 of them as soldiers when the war broke out in 1817, and that some hundreds fell in the battles of Khirkee, Poona and Koraigaon. There are many different sects of Gosaens, who are distinguished by dress or appearance; one of the sects go about in puris naturalibuSy and besmeared with ashes. Byragees are worshippers of Ram and Lukshmee, some of them marry, some pursue the profession of culti- vators, but live chiefly as mendicants: they are more respectable than the Gosaens in appearance, have a much more pleasing expression of counte- nance, and 1 should be inclined (exceptions of course) to give them credit for great kindness of disposition. The devotees of both orders keep up the succession to their property by chelas or disciples, who originally belonged to other castes of Hindoos purchased when children, and they have seldom reason to regret the change to the roof of their adopted father. The best account of these devotees, and an examination of the origin of all the known sects of Hindoo religion, or rather Hindoo systems of philosophy, is to be found in ** Ward's View of the Hindoos." •Iageer, a division of country or a cerrain number of villages granted by the government to an individual for the raising and maintenance of a quota of troops, but sometimes for his personal expenses only, the first is called fuoj-surinjam in the Deccan, and the latter zat-surinjam. Jatra or Yatra, (Mar.) is the periodical assembly of pilgrims at the temple of some god. A holy festival. Jheel or Jeel, a tank, lake, perhaps most properly a morass. Khadee or Kharee, a creek : it also means salt or brackish. Khind, a small ghat or pass, a break in a ran^e of hills. It generally designates a place where there are hills on each side of the road, though tiiere may be neither ascent nor descent. Khoren or Khora, a dingle or valley open only on one side. The ] 70 Explanation of Teims occurrhig in this Work, precipitous side of the hills formint^ the Khora, or rather the angle wher» the hills join, which is always a watercourse during: rain, is called a durra. A durra is sometimes passable to woodcutters, or other sojourners in the forest, but the name is not applied to a pass; though the durra between Malligaon and Dhoolia (vic?eXin.)is passable to carts. Koss or Coss. The Koss from the Nerbudda nearly as far as the Kistna above the ghats, may be computed at somewhat less than two miles. At Kurarh it may be estimated at 2| miles, encreasing progressively thence till it attains the length of 3 miles at Belgam. In the Southern Konkan about Bankoot, the koss exceeds two miles, and at Malwan it is fully three; and the koss-bhur four miles. In Gujerat it is 1 J mile, and from Loonawarra and Palanpoor it encreases from 2 to 2^ miles towards Rajpootana. In Kateeawar it encreases from 2 miles to 2| as it approaches Kuich. KuiiNUM or KooLKURNEE, {Kool, a cultivator y Mar.) The villa";© at;- countant for government register of ploughs and cultivators, and all inha- bitants paying government taxes. A KusBU, is the largest mouza of each turuf, and the market town of the division. A JViouzA, is a village having its own municipal officers, who are all here- ditary. These are, for goverimient, the patel or mayor; koolkumee or kurnum, the town clerk; and the chougoula; and for the village the 12 bullotee, which see above. A MuzRA or Waree, Para or Pada, is a hamlet dependent upon a mouza. MuTH or MuREF, is the residence of Jungums, Gosaens, Byranees, &c. The Moosulman terms that correspond, areTukea, Khankea, Soumia. MuwuL or Mawul, {the setting sun), means generally the country be- tween the level of the Deccan and the ghats, or between Poona and Sattara and the setting sun. Vide Desh, as above. MuNDUL, (a circle)^ a division of country, and the Mundloee is the chief officer thereof. Oka-mundel, Gurrah-mundel, &c Naka, (Mar.) a place where streets or roads cross. Generally the place fixed upon as a custom station. Pagoda, a corruption by the Portugueze of Bootkuda, (Booty an idol, and Kuda, corruption of KhanOy a housCy Pers.) temple of an idol. Patel, the hereditary local manager of a village. His duty is to see that the government dues are realized, and he is the medium of communication between the villagers and government. The descendants of Patels tena- ciously retain the title of Patel, from an idea that it gives them consequence. But a traveller should know, that the Mooqudum Patel only enjoys the rights and privileges of the office, and as such is the properly responsiljle person. Pall, a yearly payment made by many villages in Katteeawar, in former times, to the Meyannas, for exemption from visits of their ma- raudino: parlies. A Para or Waree, a hamlet; used in the Konkan and Gujerat; same as Muzra, which is used in the Carnatic and Deccan. APuTHAR, a table- land. A Penth or Petta, the town or suburb adjoining a fort. A street of shops is also called a Penth. A Prant, Soobiia, or Des, is made up of from five to eight turufs ; but though these three words are severally used to signify a province, the Explanation of Terms occurring in this Wo7^k. 171 first only has properly this meaning; the second, Soobha, is properly the rule over the Prant. RuN,(Pers. Ran, a desert), this name is particularly applied to two ex- tensive morasses, the one separatinp: Guzerat from Katteeawar, and the otiier Kntch from Mooltan and the N. W. boundary of Gujerat. Serai, a place built for the accommodation of travellers by Moosui- mans; they are crenerally better than dhurmsa}as. Shetee or Sheteea, the regulator of the bazar, and the medium of communication between the traders and artizans, and government. This person sometimes acts as purveyor for travellers. ^^- •,. .<, ^^' ,/^,^^^. jora^, Dakoor, Gwyeraf, 94, 102. '^^^i5 Nassick, D Peccan, 18, 19, 41, 50, 51,52,53.

And the Honorable the Governor in Council rehes upon the Heads of Offices to whom this privilege is granted, repress- ing any attempt at evasion of Postage on private communications in such a manner as shall discourage repetition of the liberty taken with them.

INTRODUCTION. When the Mahomedan Dynasties, which reigned over the King^ domsy into which the Deccan was divided in the \6th and \7th cen- turies, had at length been subverted, after a series of wars with Anrungzeeb and Sivajee, there arose, upon the ruins, a Hindoo and a Mahomedan Sovereignty: the former separated, in the time of the grandsons of Sivajee^ into the Mahratta States of Satara and Kolapoor, tvhere their descendants still reign ; while the Viceroy of the Emperor established for himself the present Mahomedan Kingdom, and dynasty, of Hydrabad. The descent of the principal families in the Deccan, from the adherents of the founders of these Sovereignties, and their immediate successors, is traced in the following pages, as far as I have been able to do so ; the origin of some few of the families, however ^ belongs to a more remote, and obscure, periods JAGHEERDARS, and PRINCIPAL FAMILIES, under the BRITISH GOVERNMENT in tbe DECCAN. The Ex-Peshwa, Bajee Rao. — Every information, regardinjc the progress of this family of the Peshvvas to sovereignty, is to be met with in Grant Duff's " History of the Mahrattas." Here it may suffice to say, that Balajee Wiswanath,* the first of the family, who attained eminence, olTiciated as a Karkoon with the army under Dhunajee Jadhow, the distinguished ancestor of the present Rutun Singh Jadhow Rao ; and from which office, with his son» he was elevated to the rank of Peshwain 1717. He died in 1720, leaving the office to his son Balajee, Bajee Rao, who died in 1740, and was succeeded by his son, Nana Sahib: in his time Sahoo Raja died, without heirs, in 1749 ; and the Peshwas were acknowledged supreme in the state, which they virtually had been during the reign of Sahoo. Nana Sahib died in 1761, and his eldest son having fallen the year before at Paniput, his second, and third sons, and also the posthumous son of the latter, reigned in succession. The part, which Ragoba Dada, the brother of Nana Sahib, took in the administration during the three last reigns, is not suited to a brief notice of this kind ; but his son, Bajee Rao, succeeded as Peshwa, and, notwithstanding the exceptionable cha- racter of his father, with the strongest good w ill of the nation. After a reign cpent in intrigues against the power, which restored him to his government, and sustained him in it afterwards, he abdicated on the 3d June 1818, and retired to Bit,hoor, or Brimhawurth, a place of pilgrimage in Hindoostan, where he enjoys an annual Pension of 8 Lacks of rupees. His brother, Chim- najee Appa, receives 2 Lacks ; and Venaik Rao, the son of Amroot Rao, the adopted son of the Ex-Peshwa's father, receives 7 Lacks : Amroot Rao re- tired to Benares in 1803. * Thefamil} of Balajee Wiswanath appear to have been Deshmookhs of Dhunda-Rajpoor, and Balajee had farmed the Customs of the Port; but it proving an unprofitable speculation, he ■was unable to make up the deficiency, and fled. The Peshwa's deshmookhy glailBs upon Dhun* da-Rajpoor,amouating to 10 or 12,0QQ Rupee?, are, I believe, HiU paid, B 10 JAGHEERDARS, &C. The Ghorpuray family of Kapsee. — The legend of this family derives it from a JRajpoot origin, in Hindoostan. Be this as it may, 3Ihaloojee, as well as his father, Buerjee, appears to have served under the Kings of Beejapoor, and to have received the title of Hindoo Rao. Mhaloojee had three sons ; the title of Hindoo llao has remained ivith the line of the eldest, named Buerjee, from whom the Gunjundurgurh family is descended. The second ivas the famous Suntajee, the Siienaputee of Slvajcc, and from whom the present family of Kapsee* is derived : from the third son originated the foiuily, styled Ameer- ool~Oomra. (2) t Ghorpuray. — 'Rhoo^nwgl^diO, styled Hindoo Rao, holds the Fort, and estate, of Gunjundurgurh, which appears to be a very ancient possession of the family : this estate was conferred upon it by the Raja of Kolapoor, and is ra- ted at 17,651 rupees. Seedojee Rao, the son of Buerjee, was the iirst Suena- putee of the Kolapoor State ; and his sons, Morar Rao of Gooty (the Morari Row of Orme) and Dowlut Rao, were distinguished for their courage and en- terprize, against the Mysore, and Hydrabad States, during the Coromandel war. The fort and valley of Sondoor, now in dispute, was acquired by Seedo- jee about 1713, and devolved upon Morar Rao ; who, having no children of his own, adopted either Soobarao his brother's son, or Khundeerao, who was kil- led in the action, at Ashta, in February 1818. The son of the latter, Shewrao, at present possesses the estate. (2) Ghorpuray, styled Ameer-OoUOomra. — Jeswunt Rao, a great grand- son of the first of this title, is distinguished as the only man of family, who openly espoused the British cause in 1817-18. He was Vakeel, on the part of Sindhia, with Sir Arthur Wellesley in 1803, and was afterwards Sindhia's Resi- dent agent at Poona. He died, shortly after the establishment of order in the Deccan, in I8l9. Shew Rao, the son of the elder brother of Jeswunt Rao, Las an unsettled claim upon Sondoor. The district of Dhutvvar, rated at 25,000 rupees, which was granted to the family by the Kolapoor Raja, be- longs, half to Shew Rao, and the other half, equally, to Maloojee and Nursing Rao, the legitimate sons of Jeswunt Rao : the latter have a pension each, of 6,500 rupees per annum, and have bad the districts of Supt Sagur, and Be- ing, granted by the British government between them. The illegitimate chil- dren of Jeswunt Rao, have distinguished themselves, under British officers ; and one of them, Dajee Sahib, is a Risaldar in the Poona Auxiliary horse : Dajeehas the village of Sewapoor, rated at 1,200 rupees, 18 miles S. of Poona, inenam ; and has a pension, besides, from the British Government. (I) Ghorpuray of Moodhol. Venkut Rao Raja. — Bajee Ghorpuray, aa ancestor of this family, was a zealous partisan under the king of Beejapoor, and a determined opponent to the cause of his countrymen, in their first ef- forts at emancipation ; and Sivajee is said to have taken a signal vengeance, by- cutting him oif, together with his whole family, and followers, to the number, it is said, of about 3,000 persons in Moodhol, which he burnt. The present Raja is the seventh, in descent, from Bajee. The Raja, Narraen Rao, had two wives, the last married was mother of the eldest son, at present Raja. Govind Rao, the second born, but of the first wife, fell, with Gokla, at Ashta in I8I8, but a person now assumes his name at Poona. The Raja still holds the anci- ent possessions of the family, in the Pergunnas of Moodhol, Lokapoor, Dow- leshwur, Jenujee, and Maknoor ; the revenue is rated at 2^ Lacks, but the es- tate realizes 1,07,540 rupees only. * For the Kapseekur Ghorpuray, see among the Kolapoor Jagheerclars. t The number, ^vhich nrecedos the name of each chief, shews' the class to which he belongs. I have not been successful in meeting with a list of chiefs, divided into classes, which would have enabled me to complete the information on this point — desirable, because each class have their distinct privileges : the head of the family, or his widow, and the eldest son hold equal rank ; but brothers, and younger sons of the first class only, are entitled to the privileges of the second, or next, class. Cadets, in the 8«cond class, rank in the third class. ^^ — IN THE DECCAN. 11 Ghorpbray. Inchel-Kurinjeekur, a bramin family. Venkut Rao, now about 20 years of age, is married to the daughter of Chintamun Rao, Put- wurdhun, of Sanglee. Narraen Rao Joshee, the first of his family, distinguish- ed himself while in the service of the Kapseekur Ghorpuray, and had the villa- g:es of Inchel-Kurinjee, &c. conferred upon him : he then took the name of Ghorpuray. A descendant married into the family of the Peshwa, and had the Deshraookhy of Meeruj conferred upon him, in lieu of which, he subse- quently received other estates ; and what are now held by the family may be rated at 75,000 rupees. (I) The Putwurdhun Family. — The founder of this family was Hur Bhut, a Konkanee Braaiin, originally in the service of the first Bajee Rao, Peshwa : of his six sons, Govind Hurry, Trimbuk Hurry, and Ramchunder Hurry rose to distinction, as military chieftains ; and Gopal Rao, and Purus- ram Bhao, his grandsons, were among the greatest chiefs of the empire, under the Peshwa: the family estates lie in the vicinity of the Kolapoor Raja's dominions. The following are the present chiefs of this family, with the es- timated re^^ues of the Mahals, assigned to each, for personal expenses, as well as for W support of a.party of troops, which they are liable to be called on to serve with ; except Chintamun Rao, of Sanglee, whose Jagheer is for personal expenses : Cliintamun Rao, however, maintains a greater number of military followers, since the settlement of the country, than any other of the southern Jagheerdars, Appa Dessaye Neepankur excepted. Chintamun Rao Pandoorung, styled Appa Sahib, of Sanglee. — Personal Jagheer rated at 3,76,000 rupees. Gunput Rao, styled Tattia Sahib, is now in charge of the Fort of Meeruj, as heir to the eldest branch of the family, has a Jagheer rated at 1,85,336 rupees. Madhoo Rao, styled Baba Sahib, the second chieftain of Meeruj, resides outside the Fort, and has a Jagheer, rated at I,Ib,4l3 rupees. Gopal Raojee, the 3d chieftain of Meeruj, resides in the Fort— Jagheer rated at Rs. 1,01,348. Wamon Rao, the 4th chieftain of Mee- ruj, resides at Sahonee, and is hence styled Sahoneekur — Jagheer Rs. 92,274. These chiefs are descendants of Govind Hurry ; the first being the son of his third son, and the other four being the descendants of his fourth son. The descendants of Trimbuk Hurry are, Krushn Rao of Koorundwar, whose Jagheer is rated at 1,53,358 rupees ; and Gunput Rao of Shedbaul, whose Jagheer is rated at 1,22,925 rupees. The grand children of Purusram Punt Bhao are, Gopal Rao of Jum- khundee, whose Jagheer is rated at 2,64,144 rupees : Govind Rao Nana of Chinchnee, whose Jagheer is rated at 2,26,125 rupees: and Purusram Punt Bhao, the adopted son of Gunput Rao, Jagheer rated 2,56,888 ru- pees ; the two former have no family, or prospect of an heir, and are very anxious about the future disposal of their estates. PuAR OR PowAR. Perhaps the most respectable Mahratta family of thi» name is that of Multan, a village 30 miles N. E. of Poona: some members of it were conspicuous, during the period in which the Mahratta supremacy was established over Hindoostan ; and some principal families in Malwa de- rive their origin from that of the, comparatively, obscure family at Multan. It is immaterial, what feats Sabajee Puar, or his son Krustnajee, performed, to benefit their country, or themselves ; so I have made no enquiry on the subject: the latter, however, had three sons, Boobajee, Ryajee, and Keroojee; Boobajee had two sons, Kaloojee, and Sumbhajee, who were the ancestors of the Rajas of Dhar, and Dewass, (of whom see the accounts in Sir John Malcolm's "Central India.") The present Patel of Multan has Jagheers, principally, I believe, in Khandes, rated at 9,637 rupees; and he has about 25 horse, which accompany him on occasions of ceremony. The members of this family being numerous, I have given the genealogical tree of it ; and it may be necessary to explain, that, where the line is extinct, I have given the name in italics ; but, where a- dopted into another line, or family, I have aflixed a number, to facilitate refer- ence ; for instance, Manajee, the son of Khundeerao, has been adopted by Ka- noojee, the soa of Boobajee ; adoption is distinguished by dotted lines. Tookoojee (6) Manajee, renamed Boobajee of SoopA, has a pension from the British Gov't, of Rs. 5,000 per ann. payable at Ahmed- nugur. 1 r =3 re' j 1 .... 1 Krufinajee, (5) Mahadoo Rao Ranojee.

IN THE DECCAN, 13 (I) The Chief of Ramdroog, Narraen Rao, (lately deceased) and the Chief of Nuugoond, Dadajee Rao Venkatesh, hold territories, rated at Rs. 76 062 each. These formed one estate, till divided in 1809. The common an- cestor of these chiefs was Ram Rao Dadajee, who appears to have been appointed to the otKcc of Suchew to the Kolapoor State, in I7I3, on Naroo Shunkur receiTinji, the investiture of this oihce from the State ot Satara. On the death of Ram Rao Dadajee, the Jagheer was conferred upon his son, and nephew, together. The Jagheer fell subsequently under Hyder Ah, whose tyrannous conduct, towards the chiefs, induced them to look tor foreign pro- tection ; whicli was aftorded by the Peshwa, and led to a war m 1785. The Peshwa, in the following year, became possessed of the Jagheer, and retained it, until' the year I79I ; when it was conferred upon the descendants of the former proprietor, Ram Rao, and Venkut Rao ; on the death of the for- mer, the estate was divided ; his son, Narraen Rao, receiving Ramdroog, and Venkat Rao having Nurgoond assigned to him— each stipulating, to furnish a contingent of Troops, when called upon : on the accession of the British Government, the Jagheer was made personal, and the contingent was remitted. i'*iThe^Ramdroogkur left no children ; the Nurgoondkur left three sons, the f ellilt named Baba SaJ^b. (l)^EDoojEE I^AO Naik Nimbhalkur,* commonly called Appa Dessaye Nepankur, Surlushkur of the late Peshwa's army. He is the son of the Des- saye of Nepanee, which village, with another, together rated at Rs. 2,000, was conferred on his ancestor by the Raja of Kolapoor, in whose service Ap- pa Dessaye also was. He afterwards entered the Peshwa's service, and ac- companied the British army, in the year 1803-4 ; and was employed some years after by the Peshwa to wrest Chikoree, and Menowlee, from the Raja of Kola- poor. Part of these districts, together with the district of Nepanee, he now holds. On the settlement of the country; he lost, in common with other Ja- gheerdars, all his lands, within the Nizam's boujidary ; but he got estates in lieu ; and those, he now holds, are rated at 3,30,585 rupees. (2) Raja Bahadur, of Malligaom. — Gopal Rao Trimbuk holds surinjams, Talued at Rs 21,195, in the Pergunna of Nimbayet, in Kliandes ; and also Rs. 7,000 upon the customs of Malligaom. His brother Mahdoo Rao Trimbuk, also styled Raja Bahadur, holds Jagheers in the turuf Belapoor, district Ah- mednugur, rated at Rs. 34,772. These are the grandsons of Naroo Shunkur, ■who distinguished himself, as a military leader, in Gujurat, and particularly at the siege of Ahmedabad, in 1755. He was one of the principal comman- ders with the Bhao, on his disastrous expedition to Hindoostan, and was left in charge of Delhi, on its capture, before the battle of Paniput. He was af- terwards appointed Soobehdar of Jhansi, which ofhce he held fourteen years, when he was recalled to the Deccan : he built the strong fort at Malligaom. This family held Jagheers in Jhansi, amounting to Rs. 2,35,200. Gopal Rao has adopted a son, named Shew Rao, now about six years of age : Mahdoo Rao has also adopted Trimbuk Rao, aged nine years. (2) The Vinchoorkur.— Nursing Rao WittuI, styled Punt-Raj-Adnya, and Oomdut-Ool-Moolk Bahadur, titles conferred upon his grandfather, Wit- tuI Sewdeo, one of the leaders under the Bhao in Hindoostan. The members of this family have always been distinguished as military leaders, and their Jagheers «or troops, under the late Peshwa, exceeded thirteen lacks of rupees. Baloba Vinchoorkur, the manager of the family, retired with Bajee Rao to Bit,hoor; and the present chief enjoys personal Jagheers, valued at Rs.57,.566, with enams, valued at 9,809 rupees. He lives at Vinchoor, in Gungthuree. (2) PooRUNDHUREE.fWhen Balnjee AViswanath was appointed to the of- fice of Peshwa, in 1714, his friend Umbajee, commonly called Abba Poorun- dhuree, was appointed his Mootaliq, or deputy; and, as such, remained in charge * Colonel Briggs' Genealogy, and Mahratta Manuscripts, t Grant Duff, and Manuscripts. 14 JAGHEERDARS, &C. of the duties of Pcsliwa in the Deccan, when Balajee carried the Mahrat- ta army into Hindoostan, in 1720. Abba was, originally, Koolkurny of Sas- sor, near Poorundhiir ; and his descendants still reside there. Neelkunt Rao Mahadeo, commonly called Abba Poorundhuree, who commanded the family contingent in the war of 1817-18, died about July 1826; and, when dying, a- dopted his younger brother, (same parents) as a son, in order that he might succeed to the family estates. The only lineal descendant of the founder is. Wittul Rao Mulhar, who has a Jagheer, rated at 10,832 rupees. Ram Rao has "Bamarry, and other villages, rated at 15,000 rupees, in Jagheer. Krushn Rao Ram has a Jagheer, rated at 4,750 rupees. The family of Abba have pensions, as follows — His two widows 3,000 rupees, his mother 3,000 rupees, his daugh- ter 300 rupees, and his adopted son an enam village, worth 1,000 rupees. (2) Rastia, Bulwunt Rao, styled Bala Sahib. — Principal residence Waee> near Sattara, and Talikot, in the Doab. This family trace their origin, as chieftains, to two brothers, who served under the Bejapoor dynasty^: their greatness however may be dated from tlie marriage of Gopeeka Baee, the grand-aunt of the present representative, to Nana Sahib, Peshwa. The Ja- gheers, held by the family, were rated at this time at ten lacks ; but they were resumed by the Peshwa, in 1815, who inherited all his father's hostility to the Rastias. The personal Jagheers, now held in the name of Bala Sahib, for sup- port of the elder branch, are rated at 60,362rupees; about two thirds of which consist of 17 villages, in the Pergunna of Khurda, in the Ahmednugur col- lectorate, and the rest near Talikot. Their enam, or freehold estate, is rated at 5,550 rupees. The descendants of the younger brother are, Kasseenath Narraen, who has a Jagheer village, worth 700 rupees ; Gopal Rao, who has a pension of 5,000 rupees ; and Wis was Rao, who has a pension of 6,000 rupees, and a village besides, lated at 5,000 rupees. (1) The Nuwabof Savavoor or Shahnoor. Abdool Khuer Khan has vil- lages, rated at Rs. 57,119, granted to him by the Peshwa, from possessions for- merly held by his ancestors ; and he has also a pension, of Rs. 6,000 per annum, from the British Government : this nobleman is the fourth in descent from Ab- dool Duleel Khan, who held the office of Foujdar, of the Talook of Bankanoor, under the Bejapoor government : he was confirmed in this ofiice by Aurang- zeeb, in 1692, with charge of districts, rated at nearly twenty lacks of rupees, and lixed his residence at Savanoor, which, from a small village, then became a large town. He was succeeded by his son, Abdool Ghufoor Khan; and after him by his grandson, Abdool Muzeed Khan ; about which time the family paid 75,000 rupees, yearly, to the Mahrattas. Abdool Hakeem Khan succeed- ed in the year 1754 ; and next year the Mahrattas, having invaded the Carna- tic, took iiagulkot, Badamy, and otlier places, from him, and proceeded to be- siege Savanoor: the Nuwab, reduced to extremities, relinquished territory, jated at 8,23,926 rupees, with the forts of Hoobly, Keroor, and Belgaom, with additional territory for their support, together with eleven lacks of rupees, in cash. The country then left to him, rated at 8,30,068 rupees, was afterwards taken possession of by Tippoo, in 1785, wliose sister he had married six years before. But the Nuwab, who had become a Jagheerdar of Tippoo, failed to keep up his contingent of 2,000 Patau horse. In the partition of the dis- tricts, ceded by Tippoo some years afterwards, the estates of the Nuv/ab were included in the share, which fell to the Mahrattas; and Rs. 4,000 a month were granted to him, out of the revenues, for subsistence. Abdool Hakim Khan died in 1798, and was succeeded by the third of his nine sons, Abdool Khuer Khan, to whom viirages were assigned, in lieu of his pension, which had al- ways been very irregularly paid by the Mahratta district officer. One of these sons was blown away from a gun, for heading an insurrection against the late Peshwa ; and another now enjoys a pension, of 200 rupees a month, at Poona. (2) The Nuwab Mahmood Aluw Khan, Jagheerdar of Bela, is son of the late Abdool Hoossain. The ancestor of this chief, Mukbool Alum Khan, was appointed, by Nizam-Ool-Moolk, Soobehdar of the ^districts, under Joo- IN THE DECCAN. 15 neerc. He afterwards joined in Nasir Jung:'s rebellion, together with the Na- wabs, or Killadars, of Trimbuk, and Ahmednugur, which led to their further advancement, on his accession to the musnud. These chiefs were disliked in a corresponding: degree by Nizam Ali, who first ordered Ku\ee Jung to plun- der, or despoil, the Nuwab of Bela, and afterwards punished Kuvee Jung, on pretence of his having kept back from the Nizam one of the female captives. When the country afterwards fell into the hands of the Mahrattas, the family were allowed to retain their personal Jagheer, which is rated at 9,665 rupees. (2) The late Nuwab Kuvee Jung, of Hewra, enjoyed at the time of his death, six months ago, a pension of Rs. 6,000 annually, in lieu of his Jagheer. This family is descended from Toork-tas-Khan, a native of Bokhara, who came with Auriingzeeb to' the Deccan, and distinguished himself at the last, and long, siege of Golconda, in 1687 ; at which his father was killed. He was af- terwards appointed Foujdar of Ahmednugur, and had twenty .five villages in the district conferred upon him, in enam. His descendants appear to have continued in possession, until 1759, when Kuvee Jung, the grandfather of the late Nuwab, disgusted with Nizam Ali, transferred his allegiancie to the Mah- rattas, and gave up the fort for an equivalent, round Hewra. Mahomed Kaem, styled Foujdar, a most respectable man, who now lives in Hewra, is the descendant of an adopted son of Toork-tas-Khan. The Nuwab of Rasin. Khajeh JafFur Khan, styled Kuvee Jung, has the same ancestor as the Nuwab of Hewra. His original estate, Sendee-Pukoor- dee, &c. on the Seena river, close to Ahmednugur, he exchanged for others, more remote, principally situated in the vicinity of Rasin, rated at 20,000 rupees. (3) The Pansay Family have held the command of the artillery, at Poona, from the time of Sahoo Raja, till a few years after the accession of Bajee Rao ; and many members of it have died on the field of battle. The defeat of the English army at Wargaom, in January 1779, towards which Bhao Rao Pansay greatly contributed, procured a personal Jagheer for the family, of Us. 75,000, and three Pergunnas, yielding: Rs. 1,00,000, for the support of 300 horse ; but these the Peshwa resumed. The late Gunput Rao Pansay com- manded the Peshwa's infantry, and guns, when defeated by Sir Thomas Munro at Sholapoor, in April I8I8. The family still hold estates, and pensions, rated at Rs. 15,200. The principal representative at present is Krushna Rao Madhoo, whose share of the estate is rated at Rs. 5,888. His principal abode is at Gungapoor, in Nowlgoond Pergunna. (2) RuTUN Singh Jadhow Rao, of Maligaom, near Baramuttee, holds enam lands in the Nizam's Pergunna of Goonjootee, rated atRs. 10,055; and has also a pension of Rs. 10,000. Dhunajee Jadhow, the great ancestor of this fami- ly, was a distinguished leader, under Sivajee, and was rewarded with the office of Suenaputee by Shao. Balajee Wiswanathj the ancestor of the last line of Peshwas, was one of his Karkoons, and continued as such, with his son, until I7I3, when the latter, dissatisfied, went over to the Moghuls. Balajee, who became Peshwa the following year, adopted, from respect to the Jadhows, a distinguishing part of the family banner in his aftabgeer, which his succes- -sors have continued to use. Umer Singh, the father of Rutun Singh, died 10, -or 12 years ago, reputed to be nearly 100 years old. FuRKiA, Hurry Punt. — The only surviving descendants of this distinguish- ed commander, are, Pandoorung Mahdoo Rao, his grandson, who has an enam village, rated at Rs. 700, now deserted, near Poona, and receives a pen- sion of 3,600 rupees, annually, from the British Government; Trimbuk Moresh • wur, a grand nephew, who receives 5,000 rupees, annually; and Hurry Punt's youngest son, now living at Benares. Hurry Punt Furkia was the intimate friend of Nana Furnavees, and confidential secretary to the great Mahdoo Rao. After the death of Mahdoo Rao, and murder of his brother, he com- manded the Mahjatta army, against the usurper Ragoba Dada, in 1774; he 16 JAGHEERDARS, &C. held a principal command, when the Eftf^lish army were defeated at Tuligaora, in January 1779; as also when the Maliratta troops marched, as allies, to join Lord Cornwallis. He died in the year 1793, and his eldest son died in 1815. The daughter of the latter was espoused by the Peshwa, in February 1797, two months after his accession to the Musnud. KooNJijR. — Paiidojee, and Narraen Rao are sons of the late Balajee Koon- jur, who, from a very low rank in life, attained to great influence in the Dur- bar at Poona, where he acted, for a short time, as minister. It was during his administration, that Wittoojee Holkar was put to death, by being tied to the feet of an elephant, and dragged through the city. Dread of Jeswunt Rao Holkar occasioned him, afterwards, to take refuge in Sindhia's camp, where he remained, as the Peshwa's agent, for many years. He died at Punderpoor in 1816; and his sons have each a pension of 4,400 rupees per annum, besides the Surpattelgy of the Poona Punch-Mahals, between them. His brother, Suda- seo Koonjur, has a x^ension, of 1,200 rupees. LuKSHUMUN Rao Sudasheo, has ihe village of Temboornee in enam, valu- ed at Rs. 6,053, which was granted by the Nizam ; and a personal Jagheer at Baramuttee, rated at Rs. 28,773. He is the son, (adopted by his widow) of Sudasheo Bhao Mankeshwur, who, from the humble oflice of news-writer at Hydrabad, for the Mahratta envoy there, in 1797, rose to be head of the Pesh- wa's administration in 1803. He died in I8I7, just as the war broke out, leaving behind him the reputation of an able minister, though he could not stem the current of his master's evil fortune. He left considerable wealth, which has devolved to Lukshumun Rao. Mulhar Rao Bajee, nephew to Sudasheo Bhao, has a Jagheer village, rated at 1,000 rupees. Ramch UNDER Chowdry is the adopted son of Roopram Chowdry, who had charge of part of the Peshwa's artillery, and a battalion of infantry : he had also charge of the districts of Ranee-Bednore, Hungul, &,c. in the Carnatic, and of Singhur, and the district under it. He died shortly before the war, but his manager, Dajeeba Sewray, defended Singurh in I8I8. The Jagheers were resumed, and a pension, of 12,300 rupees per annum, with the village of Chas, in the Jooncere district, rated at 3,400 rupees, were conferred on the family. (2) BuLWUNT Rao KRisHNMENDLEE,'has Jagheer villages, rated at 10,587 rupees ; and Gunput Rao Anund Mendlee has others, rated at 6,600 rupees : these are descendants of Bulwunt Rao Mendlee, who held charge of the Mah- ratta conquests, in the Carnatic, during the Coromandel war, about 1756, and was killed at Paniput^ in 1760 : the first is the adopted son of a grandchild, the second a grandchild. (2) Ramch UNDER VenkAtesh of Nowlgoond, manager to the Gokla fa- mily, but now with the Peshwa at Bit,hoor, has enams, rated at 10,367 ru- pees, and a pension of rupees. (3) GoPAL Sh ASTREE, is SOU of Ram Shastree, the judge^ or Nyadesh, of Poona, whose name is cherished throughout the Deccan, as the most learned among Shastrees, and the most incorruptible among Judges, tie never received fees, or gifts of any kind, and the only allowances he had were 2,000 rupees Sala- ry ; 1000 rupees Palankeen allowance; 1000 rupees he received at the Dukshu- na; and 200 rupees for clothes. His son, who is scarcely known, has had 3,200 rupees of the above continued to him. (3) Trimbuk Rao Petthy. The great grandfather of this person was Trim- buk Rao Mama, a chief, who is celebrated among his countrymen, as a sol- dier, a statesmen, and a painter. He held charge of the Satara districts, and Raja's ©stablishment, for several years, was distinguished in the war against Tippoo, and fell in action, fighting for the ministerial party, in 1774. His es- tates were continued to his family, until 1802, when the present Trimbuk lisLO, having undertaken the mission to Satara, to brin§ the clothes of investi- IN THE DECCAN. 17 ture, for the instalment of the son of Amrut Rao, as Peshwa, forfeited the fa- vour of the restored party, and his Jagheers were resumed.

KuDDUM Bandy.* The ancestors of this family were officers under the Bee- japoor Kings; but, when Sivajee became the assertor of Hindoo independence, they joined their countrymen, and became distinguished leaders. Kantajee Kuddum Bandyf was the principal officer under the Suenaputee, and led one of the Mahratta hordes, which co-operated in annual inroads, made from Khandes, into Gujerat, about 1720. The chouth of the whole of that pro- vince, north of the Muhee, was conferred upon Kantajee, in 1724, for the aid afforded to Hamed Khan, the deputy of Nizam-Ool Moolk, in battles fought near Ahmedabad, and at Bussoo, in which the armies of the emperor were annihilated. It was in Kantajee's service, that Mulhar Rao Holkar first ac- quired distinction, and, from a tender of sheep, became, at length, the founder of one of the greatest States in India. The estates, belonging to the family, are the enam villages of Runnala, Toorkeira, Kopreil, and Tanua, all situa- ted upon, or near, the Taptee River, in Khandes. These villages are rated at 3,606 rupees, on the records; but they are now worth 10,000 rapees, by the good management of the family. Bhoetay.* a family distinguished in an early period of Mahratta power. Their Jagheers in Khandes were resumed, in 1813, by Trimbukjee Dainglia, on an order by the Peshwa, and the family were left nearly destitute. They now have a pension of 4,300 rupees, granted by the British Government, in addition to the revenues of four villages, in the Perg. of Edilabad, granted by Sindhia. ToKHAY,* Abhonykur, Chutr Sing. This family, which is Rajpoot, holds 19 enam villages, yielding about 8,000 rupees, annually, in the Pergunna of Kunassy, and Korally, in Gungthuree, granted in the time of Aurungzeeb. (I) GuNPUT RaoRamchunder K4NADAY, has Satawunee, Brimha-Wakrj', and two other villages in the Nizam's Pergunna of Purtoor, rated at7?5.6,820: this person is the great grandson of Ramchunder Gunesh, one of the princi- pal Officers, who accompanied the army toMalwa, in 1769, under Veesajee Ki- shen, Beenewala. He was killed in Dec. 1780, while in command of the Mahratta army, in an assault upon Colonel Hartley's camp, at Doogaur, in N. Konkan, leaving behind him the well earned reputation of a skillful, and brave commander. His party, consisting of 300 horse, with Jagheers, amounting to 2 or 3 lacks for their support, were confirmed to his son, Mahdoo Rao Ram- chunder, a respectable civilian, who was left by the Peshwa, as his deputy, at Poona, when he proceeded upon the campaign against the Nizam, in 1795. He died shortly after, and his son, Ramchunder Mahdoo Rao, enjoyed his j£i- gheers, till they were resumed by Bajeerao, and a pension of Rs. 2^000 confer- red upon him. He was killed by a fall from the top of his house, 5 years ago. f The late Capt. Macmurdo, 18 JAGIIEERDARS, &C. (2) Seedeshwur MuHEEPi'T Rao, styled BeenewaJa, or Quarter Master General, now enjoys a pension, of Rs. 2,000 a year. This person is the grand- son of Visajee Kishen, Beenewala, but who commanded theMahralta army in the campaij^n to Malwa, in 1769. He had under his command Tookajee Hol- kar, and Mahadjee Sindhia. After a successful campaign, Visajee Kishen fully restored the Mahratta influence in Hindoostan, and seated Shah Alum on the throne of Delhi, in December 1771. A well fought battle, in which Visa- jee Kishen led against the Emperor, in the fo.'lowincryear, raised the Peshwa to the rank of Bukshee, and Commander in Chief, of the Moghul army. He, and his followers, are said to have brought great wealth into the Deccan, prin'- cipally obtained at the capture of Putturghur. He died at Poona, about 1790, and his Jagheers, principally about Belgaora, were confirmed to his son, Muheeput Rao; but were afterwards resumed by the Peshwa, Bajeerao^ l\% is of the Khuradee sect of Bramins, and resides at Poona. (3) Tanajee Rao Raja Sirkay, holds Jagheer villages in the Konkan, and Mawuls, rated at Rs. 4,500, and enams rated at 1,500. His brothers, and cousins, also hold personal Jagheers. viz. Gunput Rao Sirkay, Rs. 887: A- nund Rao Sirkay, Rs. 436 : Amur Sing Sirkay, Rs. 974. These persons, now dwindled to the rank of respectable Silladars, are the descendants of a Raja, who held possession of all the Konkan Ghat-Mahta, from Poona to the Warna River : a mountainous tract, in which were preserved those seeds of Hindoo independence, which, at no very distant period, sprung up into a goodly tree, extending its boughs to the remotest corners of India. Sivajee's principal Ministers, and one of his two wives, belonged to this family. (3) HuNMUNT Rao Durrykur, has the village of Ambla, in the Poona dis- tricts, worth 800, or 900 rupees : I notice him, that I may mention an anecdote of his father. The Peshwa, Mahdoo Rao, sitting in full Durbar, in camp near Seedatek, had sent for some elephants to look at. One of them, on the way, be- came furious, and running direct to the Durbar chandnee, or awning, threw it up, and had reached the spot where Mahdoo Rao sat, and kept his seat, while the whole of a numerous assembly fled, except Khundee Rao Durrykur, a Silladar, and Appajee Rao Patunkur, both of whom stept in front of the Peshwa : the elephant turned oft" at this instant ; but the intrepidity, or de-- votion, of these persons, occasioned the first to be made Surlushkur, and the other was always, afterwards, supposed to have the greatest influence at court, during the lifetime of Mahdoo Rao. (2)Balajee Punt Naraen Nathoo, rendered valuable and essential service to the British interests, in 1817-18. To use the words of Capt. Grant Dulf, (vol. III. p. 412.) " His vigilance, judgment, fidelity and firmness, at that *' trying period, entitled him to the munificent reward, which was conferred up- *'on him;'^ this was a pension of 6,000 rupees per annum. He has also freehold estates, rated at Rs. 12,000. He is the niosc respectable Bramin, in appear- ance, whom I have seen ; and is as diffident, and respectful, as in former days. He has written a history of his own times. Deodhur, Pandoorung Rao Anna, sumamed Dhumdheri, was a great fa- vourite of the Ex-Peshwa, who married his niece, since dead. The Jagheers, ■which had been held by Amb6kur, a meritorious officer, and remarkable per- son, in Nana Furnavees' time, were, mostly, conferred upon Deodhur, and his relations. Pandoorung Rao now holds .Jagheers, rated at 20,090 rupees, being principally at Kurinjgaom, in Gungthuree, Mehoonbara and Joorga, in Khan- des, and he resides at Apty, on the Bheenia. His son, Ramchundur Punt Abba, has about 15 Jagheer villages in the Patoda Pergunna, in Gungthuree, rated at 12,000 rupees, and \\(^. now resides with the Peshwa. Moro Rugonath Dhum- dheri has a pension of 5,000 rupees, and resides at Poona.

The first holds Jaghecrs, rated at 25,811 rupees, part of which, in- cluding Chicultana, near Aurungabad, is within the Nizam's frontier ; and the other has a pension of 5,000 rupees. (2) Narraen Rao Neklkuvt, Moozumdar, has Waiki, near Ahraed- nugur, in Jagheer, with other villages in the vicinity, rated, together, at 14,201 rupees. He also holds the Enam village of Bhopkel, W. of Poona, rated at 700 rupees. This oHicer was the auditor of accounts under the late Peshwa, and is a descendant of the person, who held this office under Shao.* (2) Grvpur Rao Narraex, ofRanzec, about 18 miles S. of Poona, son ofNaroo Gunesh, formerly Dewan to Holkar, holds Jagheer villages, prin- cipally in the Shewgaoni Pergunna, in Gungthuree, rated at 23,627 rupees. (2) Gungadhur Madhoo Rao, is the great grandson of Gungadhur Yeswunt, who was dewan to Mulhar Rao Holkar, when first advanced to command, and continued to hold the office, but with less credit to himself, in the time of his high minded daughter, Aylah Baee. He was afterwards the supporter, in re- bellion, of Kugonath Rao, against the great Mahdoo Rao. He holds Newas- sa, and some villages in the vicinity, in Jagheer, estimated, together, at 26,084 rupees, but rated, on the government records,t at 66,789 rupees. His cousin, Khundee Rao Krishn, has an enam, rated at 5,000 rupees.

He is the son of Byajee • Shao is the fainiliar appellation of theRaj-* Sahoo.the son of Raja Ram, among the Mah- ratlas ; and even intellij^eut Bramjns Sfive him this name. + Jagheer villages are. gomeiinies, rated at much more, than they produce, and, occasionalljr, at much less. This arises principally from the manner, in which the grant is made, or the way, in which it is understood by the district officer. A village, of 1000 rupees Eumal, may greatly •xceed its real revenue. The Kumal is the greatest revtnue, realised in any « neof a series of years. The Tunkha is the average of a serie?of years, and, uncler the yahomedau Goveru- ment?. was the standard assessment ; although still entered in tl e accoui ta, it is «>bsolete in rractice. The Akar, i« a general term, applied to the rent of a village ; uai the Hul-Akar, conceive, to designate present realizations. 20 JACHEERDARS, &C.

He has now a pension of 5,000 rupees per annum. PRINCIPAL OFFICERS, and FAMILIES, under the GOVERN- MENT OF SATARA. Raja of-Satara, Purtab Sew, Bhosla. — His titles are, Sreemunt, Maha- Raja, and Chuterputec. This prince is the fifth in descent from the great Si- vajee, who, in his contest with the Mahomedan kingdoms of the Deccair, es- tablished Hindoo independence, and mainly contributed to the subversion of these dynasties, by Aurungzeeb, afterwards. Sivajee was born in 1627, and died in 1680. A legend of the family gives it a Rajpoot origin*. It seems, liowever, that his grandfather, Maloojee Raja, Patel of Deoolgaom, near Patus, and of other places, was an active partisan under the king of Ahmednugur, and had a.Iagheer conferred upon him, which descended to his son, Shahjee, afterwards a principal Mahratta leader, under the Beejapoor dynasty. He acquired, in Jagheer, nearly the whole of what now forms the Collectorship of Poona, together with part of the Mawuls under Satara ; and it was in these valleys, that his son, Sivajee, matured his plan of Hindoo independent sove- leignty. Under his successors, his elder grandson, Sahoo, and the Peshwas, ihe Mahratta possessions continued to increase, till, by a want of vigour, in controlling servants, and dependents, it was dismembered, and divided into live, distinct, states ;t the rulers of which, however, rendered at first a real, but afterwards a nominal, obedience to the original state. On the death of Sahoo, in 1749, a minority ensued ; and from that day, the Peshv/as, nominally ser- * The Bhonslny, (Bhosla) and Ghorpuray families pretend to derive their origin from a common anceytor. It does not appear, however, by the legend, which has been read to me, that the latter family correctly assume the name of Bhonslay. The probability of a common ,ori"-in is sufficiently borne out, by the circumstance of their not intermarrying; for Hindoos never marry into their own family, though the degree of relationship may be hidden in the ob- 'scurity of ages. Dy the legend it appears, that Bapoo Raoul reigned at Chitoor, in Rajpootana, in the year 33 1 of the Christian era. The twenty-third king of his race had two sons, Bharat see, and Bheemsee. The latter attached himself to the brother-in-law of the Prithee-raj (/hohan, of Delhi, and obtained permission to possess himself of Kepaul. He promoted the worship of Ghooruknalh Mahadeo, the tutelar deity of the country, and with him originated the luma of Ghoorka. The Rajpoot tribe, called Bheemsee, still exists in Nepaul. A chief of this family- is said to have returned to Rajpootana, in 144i, and assuming the title of Raja, with him ori- ginated the states of Doongurpoor, and Banswara. The thirteenth Ruler of this race, at Doon- ♦'•urpoor, named Abheesee, and styled the iVlaba Rana, left the Government to his sister's son, in prejudice of his own children. One of the latter, named Sujunsee, came to the Deccan, and entered the service of the King of Beejapoor, who conferred upon him the district of Modhui, comprising 84 villages, wiih the title of Raja. Sujunsee had four sons. Bnjee Ra- ja, in whose line descended the Modhulkur estate; the second died without family; and from Wolubsye is the Kapseekur Ghorpuray ; Sugajee, the youngest, had a son, named Bho- ' sajee, from whom is derived all the Bhonslays: lie had ten sons; the eldest settled at De- ool«>-aom, near Patus, and originated the line of the great Sivajee : Second, at Hingnee, proba- bly°Hingungaom : Third, at Bherdee : Fourth, at JSawuutwaree, where his descendants have continued to rule : Fifth, at Wawee, out of which family the father of the present Raja of Satara was adopted : Sixth, at Moongy, better known as Moongy-Pytan ; Seventh, at Shumboo Mahadeo : Eighth, at Boregaom : Ninth, at Jeentee (Hydrabad Road :) and the tenth at Khunwutta, out of which family the present Raja of Kolapoor's father was adopted. The reader will recognise the descendants of most of these families, at the present day hovering about the place, where their progenitor settled, t Nagpoor, Sindhia, Holkar, Ui© Guikwar, and'that, left under the Pcshwa. UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF SATARA, 21 vants, became the real masters, holding the Rajas prisoners, and pageants, till the result of the battle of Ashta, in February 1818, liberated the family ; and the present Raja was raised to the throne of a territory, supposed to yield 15 lacks of rupees, exclusive of Jag:heers. The Raja's younger brother is na- med Shalijee, and styled Appa Sahib. (I) BujABA NiMBiiALKUR, stijled T^aik,* and Phultuu Rao. — The districts, called Phultun des, situated on the south bttnk of the Neera River, have been held by this family, in Jagheer, for probably some centuries. The Jagheer re, alizes 21acks of rupees of revenue, and the chief furnishes 75 horse, for the service of the Raja. The Naiks of Phultun were enterprizing leaders, under the kings of Bcjapoor, and among the most active opponents, that Sivajeo had to contend with. Nor did this family join the cause of their religion, till many years after Sivajee's death, though connected with him by marriage. The late chief, Jan Rao, died in 1825, at an old age, without heirs; but leaving two widows. He left a paper of adoption, in favour of Bujaba Naik, tha present chief, which was couiirmed by Xi. H. the Raja, with the concurrence oi the British Government. DurFLAY, Ram Rao Chohan, the Jagheerdar of Jhutt. — An ancestor of this chief was an active partisan, in the service of the kings of Beejapoor, in the time of Sivajee. It does not appear, at what time he joined his country- men. The present chief has, besides his hereditary freeliold estates, whicli arc rated at Rs. 19,162, Jaaheers, rated at Rs. 1,48,101 ; including however alienations, on account of religious establishments, amounting to Rs. 9,115^ and money payments to relations, amounting to Rs. 11,250. He furnishes fif- ty horse, for the service of the Raja of Satara. The Nimbhalkurs, of Watar, (a village between Phultun andtheMahdeo hills) are a branch of the Phultun family. The family, which is very numer- ous, and extremely wealthy, has enriched itself by mercantile underta- kings. Watar is worth about Rs. 2,500 ; Koonty, a village given to them by Sindhia, is worth Rs. 2,500; and Body, in the Seerwul district, given by Punt Suchew, is worth Rs. 1,000 more. A lady of this family was married to the present Raja of Kolapoor, but is deceased. (1)Raja of Akulkot.-— Mallojee Rao Bhonslay, the present Raja, succeed- ed his father, Futteh Sing, who died in April 1823. His Jagheer, personal and for troops, together, amounts to Rs. 2,17,075, and he is obliged to furnish 100 horse, for the service ot the Raja of Satara. The first Raja was the orphan son of the Patell of Parud, in Gungthuree, who having fallen in the assault of a town, led to his son's being adopted by Sahoo, about the year 1707, and to his bearing the Satara family name, of Bhonslay. The Jagheers, held by the first Raja, amounted to thirty-five lacks, annually. The Purdhans, or Ministers, at Satara.f (1) The Punt, Prithee. Needhee, Purushram Sree Ne«^as.— This title was intended, to exalt the holder above all the Purdhans, being Alter Ego in fa-ct. It was created by Raja Ram, to reward Prillhad Nerajee for very distin- guisJied services. Purushram Trimbuk, who, from the humble office of a Kool- kurny, had raised himself into nDtioe, succeeded him, and the present chief is the fourth from him, in lineal descent. His ancestors possessed very extensive Jagheers; but what remain to him are valued at Rs. 1,55,000. He rebelled against the Peshwa, in 1806, but was subdued, the following year, by Bapoo Gokla, who brought him to Poona, where he was kept in confinement by the Peshwa, for many years. Gokla took possession of the Jagheer, but nevei * The Naik of Phultun, and the Moodhulkur, claim the privilege of exemption from perfor- mance of Mooji-a, or the obeisance of a subject. t Th« Peshwa was the first in rank of the nrdhan», previous to th« crwtion of tU office. of Piithee-Needhee. *" ^ 22 JAGIIEERDARS, &C. accounterl far its revenues to Government.

He was a lineal descendant of Shankrajce Narraen Gaudekur, the Suchew of Sivajee, who, after his death, joined the Kolapoor party, and died a suicide. Sahoo Raja, nevertheless, invested iiis son, Naroo Shunker, then two years old, with the office of Suchew to the state of Satara. An hereditary assignment, of 6 per cent npon the revenue of certain districts, and villaa^es, in the Deccan, and Khandes, called the Sa- liotra, was conferred upon him at the same time, with an extensive Jasj^heer in the Mawnls. His chief town is Bhore, situated in Heerdus Mawul, a dis- trict S. W. of Poonu, which entirely belongs to him. His revenue may be now rated at, from IJ,75,U00 to, 4 lacks of rupees. His duty was that of State Secretary, and Record Keeper. (/) The Pttnt Amat. Surwnttum Baboo Rao, is a lineal descendant of Neeloo Punt Sondeo, the first Moozimdar, or Amat, under Sivajee.

The district of Patunkhora, comprising 40 vil- lages, situated between the Warna and Kohecna rivers, west of Kurarh Prit- heeneedhee's possessions, were conferred upon an ancestor of this chief, by Ra- ja Ram, in 1692. This family is distinguished in Mahratta history, and Bul- wunt Rao Patunkur, who is married to a daughter of the late Dowlut Rao Sindhia, and now holding a chief command in the Gwalior service, belongs to it. Several of the Patunkurs receive pensions from the British Govern- ment, in lieu of Jagheer lands.

Angria, the chief of Kolaba, styled Vizarut Mai, and Surkhel. The present chief, Rughoojee Angria, succeeded to the government, on the death of his father, Manajee, about December 1817 ; and, being a subject of the Peshwa, his allegiance was transferred to the British Government, on the ab- dication of that prince. His territory yields a revenue, of between two and three lacks of rupees, including large alienations, on account of religious es- establishments. This chief is a lineal descendant of the once powerful Kanoo- jee Angria, admiral of the Mahratta tleet, during the early part of the last century. It is said, that he was appointed to the rule over the Konkan, from Sawunt-Waree to Kalian, with a commission to make conquests against the Seedec, the Moghul, and the Portugueze. The family is well known to 24 JAGHEERDARS, &C.

These were sons of Sivajee, a member of the KhunwuttaJ family, adopted about the year 1762, by the vvidow of Sumbhajee, the last of the lineal descendants of the great Sivajee. The State of Kolapoor may be said to have been founded by Tara Baee, the widow of Raja Ram, about 1707, when Sahoo Raja, being libera- ted by Aurungzeeb, a few months before his death, returned to claim his in- heritance, as head of the Mahratta nation, from his aunt, Tara Baee, and her stepson, Sumbhajee. After a series of wars, Sumbhajee was acknowledged, as head of the Kolapoor State, by his cousin Sahoo, in 1731 ; and, bounda- ries being fixed, it became, thenceforth, a distinct, and independent, sovereign- ty.§ The present Raja has married six wives, of whom five are still living; but he has no family. His brother left a son a year old, but he is since dead. * Hubshee, or Seedee, is a name given in India to Abyssinians, or Uieir descendants. It is as- sumed, as a title, by the head of the Jinjeera (corruption of Jhuzeeia, an island) Principality. f Orme's Fragments, (page 57.) and Manuscripts. % See Note to page 20. \ The Revenues of the Kolapoor fctate are rated at 12, or 13 lacks oi rupees, including Jagheers. Many of the Jagheerdars, under the Peshwa's Government, held Jagheers under the Kolapoor Government : a system, which could not be otherwise than inconvenient, when these rival statca warred with each othch UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF KOLAPOOR. 25 The Military Establishment of the Kolapoor state was limited by the last treaty, (1827,) with the British Government, to 400 horse, and 800 infantry, exclusive of weak garrisons to the forts: the forts of Kolapoor, and Panala, are, however, garrisoned by British Troops. The Purdhans, or Principal State Officers. The Prithee-Needhee,* Mahdoo Rao Bhugwunt, holds the fort of Vishalgurh, and Jagheers under it, rated at 1,00,000 rupees. He is an adopted son of Bhugwunt Rao Abajee, the fifth in lineal descent from Purushram Trimbuk, the first person who held this office under the Kolapoor state ; and to whom the fort and district of Vishalgurh was granted in Jagheer, which they still hold. It appears to have been subsequently confirmed to Bhugwunt Rao, the grandson of Purushram, jointly by Sahoo Raja of Satara, and Sumbhajee Raja of Kolapoor, on their reconciliation, about 1732, when they were settling their respective boundaries. The Am at,* Babajee Moreshwar, is about 25 years of age. He holds the fort of Bowra, and districts under it, in Jagheer, rated at about 80,000 rupees. He is the seventh in descent, by lineage or adoption, from Neeloo Punt Son- deo Deshmookh of Kalian, who is said to have assisted the great Sivajee in the capture of Poorundhur, and was rewarded with the office of Amat. His son Ramchunder Neelkunt, who had also eminently distinguished himself under Sivajee, and his son. Raja Ram, espoused the cause of Sumbhajee, the younger grandson of Sivajee, and had the fort of Bowra, which he had taken by assault, conferred upon him, and which has descended in his family. The Suenaputee,* +Suntajee Ghorpuray, holds the town and district of Kapsee,t an ancient possession of his family, in Jagheer, rated at 25,000 ru- pees. This chief is a lineal descendant, the fifth remove, from Suntajee Ghorpuray, a distinguished leader during the period in whi<'-h Hindoo eman- cipation was effected. Seedoojee Ghorpuray, his nephew, the first of this family, who held the office of Suenaputee, under the state of Kolapoor, was appointed to it in 1712. Ranoojee Rao, Mcorar Rao, and Sumbhajee Rao, the sons of Narraen Rao, who was granduncle to the present chief, hold the villages of Kurkawaree, Nagnoor, and Pandooranga,in enam, rated at 24,000 rupees, being 8,000 rupees to each, and Bala Sahib, the uncle of the chief, holds Husoor, rated at 15,000 rupees, in Jagheer, for the support of the mem- bers of that branch. The Raj-Adnya. — Narraen Rao Rutnakur, officiates as minister. He is the son of Rutnakur Punt Appa, who, from the humble office of Karkoon, un- der the Potnees, rose to be at the head of the military department, and con- ducted the wars with the Putwurdhuns to a successful termination. The fa- ther was out of favour at the time of his death ; but the Raja became recon- ciled to the son, and conferred upon him the situation of minister, with the Kusba of Hookeeree, rated at 6,(K)0 rupees, in Jagheer, which he now holds. His son is twenty years of age. *Bhow Maharaj,! is, nominally, Gooroo, or spiritual Director, to the Raja. He is the second son of the late Seedeshwur Bawa, otherwise Bhutjee Maharaj, who formerly held this office. His estates, which are freehold, lay in the Per- gunnas of Chickooree, Menowlee, and Hookeeree, and are rated at 40,000 rupees. They were conferred upon him by the Raja, to whom he was, in fact, minister. He conducted the negociations which recovered the districts of Chickooree, Me- See the Amat and Pritheeneedhee, under the Satara state, pages 21 and 22. * All these offices are sinecure, and held on a hereditary tenure. + See Note at page 20.

His mother is a sister of the Raja. Hybut Rao Gaekwar, and Deenkur Rao Gaekwar, have the villages of Kuradagee, Kokee, and Moree, in the district under Panala, rated at 25,000 rupees, in Jagheer. They hold the office of Khowaus Khana : their duty is to hold the morchul behind the Raja, on occasions of state, and sit behind him on his elephant : the office is highly respectable at all native courts. The descendants of the other original Purdhans, are : Rowjee, Wankanees, who has a Jagheer, rated at 5,000 rupees ; and who is in great favour with the Raja. — Suddaseo Rao, Muntree, who has a Jagheer rated at 2,000 rupees, and lives at Kolapoor. — Unna, Dubheer, who has a Jagheer of 5,000 rupees, and lives also at Kolapoor. — the Pundit Rao, has three villages in Jagheer, worth .5,000 rupees : he lives in Kolapoor, and has two sons, Gopal Acharry, and Bucha Acharry. — Govind Rao, Suchew, and his brother, have, for the support of both their families, a Jagheer of 5,000 rupees, and Anund Rao, Moozumdar, has a Jagheer, rated at 5,000 rupees.

SAWUNT WAREE. 27 Narraen Rao Khanwelkur, is nephew to Jeejajee Rao Khanwelkur, who had lately charge of the fort of Kolapoor, with large Jagheers assigned to him for its support, but which have been lately resumed. An enam village, rated at 7,000 rupees, is all that remains for the support of the family. Door- ga Baee, the late pugnacious Ranee of Sawunt Waree, belonged to this fami- ly, and another member of it is a well known officer under Dowlut Rao Sin- dhia. The Dessaye of Wutmooree, has an estate rated at 8,000 rupees; and resides, principally, at Kolapoor. The Dessaye of Julalpoor, is of a very ancient family, and has an estate rated at 4,000 rupees. The foregoing account of the Kolapoor Purdhans and Ja- gheerdars, is not derived from a very authentic source, and is inserted in this publication, because no better account is pro- curable. To have rendered the work more complete, I should have here inserted an account of the Dessayes of the Southern Mahratta country, the principal of whom are those of Dumul, Hcaanoor, Jambootee, Noulgoond, Jalihal, Talikot, Hoongoond, Bagulkot, Hutanee, ^c. Their names, and the registered estimated value of tJieir estates, which are freehold, is the only authentic infor- mation concerning them, which I have been fortunate enough to meet with. SAWUNT WAREE. The Deshmook of Sawunt Waree, is an independent prince, ruling over a small territory, yielding about two lacks of rupees, situated between Goa and Malwan. The Collector, at Rutnageery, is the British Agent with this state. Khem Sawunt, from whom this family traces its origin, was an officer under the Beejapoor Kings, and held charge of Khoodal Prant,* during the declining period of that monarchy. He formed an alliance M'ith Sivajce Bhonslay, who at this time was rising to sovereignty ; and having seized upon the rights of all the Dessayes, assumed, and was confirmed by Sivajee in, the titles of Dessaye, and Sur-Dessaye, of Sawunt Waree. He agreed to pay half the revenue to Sivajee, after deducting the usual percent- age as Deshmook ; and to maintain a contingent of Infantry, for the other half. He reigned twelve years, and was succeeded by his son, Poond Sawunt, who joined the cause of Tara Baee, of Kolapoor, in 1707, and died, after a reign of seven years. His brother, Lukum Sawunt, succeeded, and appears to have been the most distinguished personage of the family. The Kolapoor forces, under Ramchunder Punt, Bowrakur, the Amat, invaded Sawunt Waree, audit was only saved from entire subjugation, by the intervention of Ghorpuray Enchul-Kurinjeekur, who accompanied the invading; army, and who bore in mind favours, which had been conferred upon him by Poond Sawunt. Luckum Sawunt, at this time, says the legend, assumed the name of Bhonslay ; and, having taken possession of Badeewaree, the only place remaining to the Moghuls, in the Konkan, assumed the insignia of an * The ancient name of a district, including the §;reater part of Southern Konkan. 28 JAGHEERDARS, &C. independent prince. He died, after a reign of twenty four years, without children, and was succeeded by his nephew, Khem Sawunt, the son of hi» brother, Poond Sawunt, who reigned thirty two years. He was succeeded by Ms nephew Poond Sawunt the son of his brother, Nar Sawunt, in w hose time Salsee was taken possession of by Angria. Poond Sawunt had eleven sons, the eldest, Nar Sawunt, was killed in an affray, arising in an attempt to seize him, by his father's orders ; who, grieved at the occurrence, resigned the Gaddee in favour of his grandson Ramchunder, son of the deceased, and then only four years of age, — giving him his uncle, Jueram Sawunt, as manager: ho reigned seventeen years, and was succeeded by his son, Khem Sawunt, a minor. During his minority, Jeoram Subnees managed affairs for twelve years. Khem Sawunt had four wives : the 1st, Lukshmee Baee, was the sister of the distinguished Junkoojee Sindhia; 2d, Doorga Baee, of the house of Khanwel- kur, of Kolapoor; 3d, Nurmada Baee; and4th, Saweetree Baee, the daughter of Ghatgay, of Kagul. He had, however, no male issue, but several daughters. On Khem Sawunt marrying into Sindhia's family, he received some privileges of nobility, and took the style, and title, of Raja, Khem Sawunt, Buhadur, Surdessaye. From this time, (about forty years ago,) the Sawunt Wareeand Kolapoor states were frequently at war. Their disputes were at length referred to the Peshwa, who induced them to make mutual restoration of rights and territories which each had usurped from the other. Khem Sawunt afterwards went to war with the Portugueze, invaded the Goa territory, and took from them the district of Chowkul. After his death, Lukshmee Baee became regent; and, having no children, Son Sawunt, styled Aba Sahib, and Shreeram Sawunt, styled Rao Sahib, grand uncles of the late Raja, began intriguing to have their sons adopted by Lukshmee Baee. The dispute ran high, and the former took possession of Rairee and Eshwunt- gurh, in which last place, being beseiged by Shreeram, he set fire to the house, in which he resided, and perished with all his family except his son, Poond Sawunt, who continued shut up in Rairee, while Shreeram Sawunt ravaged the open country. He attempted to wrest the government from Lukshmee Baee ; and she was obliged to promise, that his son, Bhow Sahib, should be adopted by her. At this time, the Kolapoor army invaded the Waree country, but Appa Dessaye Neepaunkur, having come to their assist- ance, the Kolapoor troops returned within their own boundary, and Neepaun- kur remained. Poond Sawuntthen visited the Raja of Kolapoor, at his Capital, and soon after his return to Waree, Bhow Sahib was found strangled. An insurrection afterwards took place, headed by an impostor, who assumed his name, and who is said to be now living in the town of Mhar near Bankoot. At this time Soobarao Ghatgay, who was in the service of Nee- paunkur, brought his grandson, Bapoo Sahib, the son of Poond Sawunt, then five years of age, from Torghul to Waree, and endeavoured to persuade Lukshmee Baee to adopt him ; but, failing, Bapoo Sahib was taken back to Torghul, and the Neepaunkur's troops returned to their country. Lukshmee Baee, after a turbulent reign of seven years, died. Doorga Baee succeeded, and committed the charge of affairs to Poond Sawunt ; during whose time the company found themselves obliged to interfere, and a treaty was made ; by which Vingorla changed owners. Doorga Baee died about eight years ago. During her dotage, and Bapoo Sahib's minority, affairs were mana- ged, but very badly, by Chundrapa, the Killadar of Hunmuntgurh, and Suni- bhajee Sawunt, a dependent of the family. Bapoo Sahib now reigns. The Family of Heera-Chundagurh. Myna Baee, the widow of the late chief, now holds this estate, which is rated, on the records, at 14,373 rupees. The fort of Gundhargurh, where the family reside, is six miles from the town. The district is a jungly and hilly tract, situated about thirty five miles W. 6 N. of Belgaom, and about twenty miles from that part of the Syhadree range, which bounds the Waree country. In the confusion, which prevailed during the minority of the last Khem Sawunt of Waree, his uncle, Nagh Sawunt, established himself in this district, and the present possessor is his son's widow. IN THE NORTHERN KONKAN. 29 CHIEFS IN THE NORTHERN KONKAN. The Raja of Jowar, Puttun^ Shah, is of the Koolee tribe. He was invested with the chiefship, in December, 1822, by the British Government ; but, being: a minor, the conduct of affairs was entrusted to his mother, Sugoona Baee, Ranee. The territory is a mountainous tract, situated below the Syhadree range, N. E. of Tanna, containing many fertile valleys ; but cultivation is greatly neglected : the population is composed of predatory Koolee, and other jungle, tribes, who are mostly armed with bows and arrows, spears, or matchlocks. Joyah Mookney, the founder of this petty state, established himself in the strong country about Jowar, nearly 500 years ago, and subsisted by freebooting. He was succeeded by his son, Nem-Shah, on whom the emperor of Delhi, by imperial Firman, conferred the title of Raja. In A. D. 1758, the Raja possessed the whole of the country, which lies imme- diately below the Syhadree range, from the latitude of Basseen to the Damun- gunga : he then had ten forts, and held also the Foujdaree of Bhewndy. His land revenue was rated at 1,00,000 rupees ; but the exactions from tra- vellers, and merchants, amounted to about 2,.50,000 more, making his total revenue 3,50,000 rupees. Previous to 1760, quarrels had' arisen with the Poona State ; which, subsequently to this date, assumed a right of interference in the family feuds. In 1766, Puttung Shah, the grandfather of the present raja, had been adopted by the widow of his predecessor, and established upon the Gaddee by the help of the Peshwa, by whose encroachments the estate wa^ reduced, about this time, to its present limits, yielding a revenue of 15, or 20,000 rupees, but burdened with a fixed tribute of 1000 rupees per annum, andaNuzur on the investiture of every new Raja. The Jowar, and Gun- jad, districts, produce a good deal of timber. The Raja is within the juris- diction of the Collector of Tanna. Raja of Penth and Hursool, Lukshudeer, styled Dulput Rao, is des- cended of a very ancient Rajpoot familj% the chief of which, at some unkno^vn period, was converted to Mahomedanism. It does not appear, that the Poona Government had ever interfered with this estate, until 1790, when Chimnajee, the father of Lukshudeer, incurred a debt of 25,000 rupees, to the Peshwa's Mamulutdar of Nassik, who, in consequence, attached it. Chimnajee then appealed to the Peshwa, and agreed to pay a Nuzur of 1,25,000, (which, with the original debt, and interest, amounted eventually to 1,75,000 rupees) in nine yearly instalments. In 1801, the estate was sequestrated ; and in 1805, we find Lukshudeer, who is a Mahomedan, receiving a subsistence of 2,500 rupees yearly ; and Neelkunt Rao Dulvee, also styled Dulput Rao, of the Hindoo branch of the family, receiving 1,500 rupees per annum. In 1813, the former was reduced to 1,800 rupees, and the latter to 750 rupees. The revenue realized in the territory, in 1813, by the accounts, was 18,000 rupees; though it is calculated to realize about 35,000. The estate has since been restored to the Raja, but a tribute of 3,500 rupees, is paid, annually, to Government. The territory, comprizing ninety-nine villages, situated in the midst of thick forests, is in length, from the Wag River, north, about fifty miles, and about twenty miles in breadth. The country is extremely poor, and the inhabitants, are principally, Koolees. Both Rajas could not command 100 horse and foot, exclusive of Bowmen. They are under the agency of the Collector of Ahmednugur. BHEEL NAIKS in the ADJUNTA RANGE, Westward. Byajee Wulud* Tar, Naik of the Kalduree Hills. This chief formerly had his huttee, or encampment, in the Kalduree hills ; which is * Wulud (Arabic) the son of, 30 BHEEL NAIKS. that portion of the Adjunta range, adjoining the fort of Untoor ; and with his Bheels, whose numbers were constantly fluctuating, he ravaged the country, and carried off the cattle both above and below the Ghats. He has been lately settled atBhurgaom, a town about forty miles south east of Dhoolia, where he enjoys a pension from the British Government, of 400 rupees annually, and Enam lands in the neighbourhood. His followers are also now living in their villages in the plain, and cultivating the soil for their subsistence. Saiba Wulud Madh, Naik, Gaekwar Naik of the Satmalla Hills. This chief had his huttee close to the Adjunta pass. He was one of the wildest, and most savage, of the Bheel Naiks in this range; buti!?no>r quietly settled, with about thirty of his followers, at Guneshpoor a village in Khandes, about sixty miles south of Dhoolia. The rest of his follower' , who were as wild and savage as their chief, have also takin to the plough, Saiba Naik receives a pension, of 660 rupees annually, from the British Gov«f?rnment. RoRA Wulud Secoo, Naik Mora Ar Nuddee. The Ar Nuddee is a small mountain rivulet, which takes its rise in the Adjunta h^'.h, about fifteen miles westward of the AmbaGhat, and on the c\uik of waich this chief formerly had his huttee. He, like the other Naiks of tavi Adjunta hills, has now taken to the plough, and is settled, with his followers, at Peepree, a small village, about twenty five miles east of Maiigaom. He rdceives a pension from the British Government, of 1,500 rupees per annum. Seeooram Wulud Nund, Naik of Goojurduree, is a descendant of C^hundee Naik, a man of great influence, about fifteen years ago, in the Patoda, and other districts, North of the Godaveree. He died a prisoner in the fort of Unkaee, and Seeooram Naik is now settled at a small Immlet, close to Jateegaom, with about forty followers, who cultivate for iheir subsistence. This chief has a small pension from the British Government, and considerable claims on that of the Nizam. Daoo Wulud Abjee, Naik, Huttee Sukapooree. A nephew of Kal Naik, another chief of notoriety in the stormy times, about thirty years since. This young man is now settled at the plough, with about thirty followers, at Roeela Boojrooky a village about fifteen miles south west of Kunnur. He receives a small pension from the British Government, and has also some claims on the Nizam. SuTWA, Naik. The Huttee, or encampment, of this Naik was at Satkoond, a place about fifteen miles west from the town of Kunnur. It was here, also, that his uncle Panjee Naik, a man of great influence amongst the Bheels, resided, about twenty-five years ago, at the head of a large body of fol- lowers, and preserved the tranquility of the country. It is said, that, during REMARKS ON THE Bheet.s. — The Bheels are considered to be in connnion with the Koo- Ices of Gujerat, and the Gonds of the eastern part of the peninsula, or Gondwana, the remain* of the aborigines of India. Their numbers are greatly kept up by constant accessions from the plains ; and wretches of desperate fortune, such as have, by crime or misfortune, been ejected from their 'caste, or profession, flock to their standard. There is nothing in their ideas, either of morality or religion. When pursued, they evince uncommon dexterity ; and a Bheel, with a child on each shoul- der, will spring from rock to rock, and from bush to bush, with as much dexterity as a wild gt)at ; and, when pushed, will coil himself up in a bush, so snugly, that his pursuer will, in all probability, pass wilhont observing him. Although they are generally armed with bows and arrows, they take a few matchlocks with them when they expect much opposition. They never poison their arrows, and generally fire from ambush. They frequently shift their quar- ters, and a Huttee, or Bheel village, is soon formed. The Bheels are by no means deficient in intelligence ; are lively, patient of fatigue, and vi- gilant. They are attached to their offspring; and, when pursued, make a desperate resistance at some particular point, until their wives and children have had time to escape, in an ©ppo- «tc direction, when they take to their heels.- Extract from Jisiatic Jovrnal, ISt'l. IN THE ADJUNTA RANGE. 31 Panjee Naik's life time, the Bheels remained quiet, but that disturbances broke out almost immediately after his death. Sutwa Naik is now settled at Boltek, a small hamlet close to Champaner, with about fifty followers, who have all taken to the plough. This Naik receives a small pension from the British Government, and has also considerable claims on the Nizam. KisHNEEA WULUD Ankhoos, Naik. The father of Kishneea Naik had his huttee at Hunmunt Soonda, near the Gaotala Ghat. This was formerly one of the principal passes from Aurungabad into Khandes, through the Adjunta hills. But it is now scarcely practicable for laden cattle. Kishneea Naik has a small pension from the British Government, and resides in a hamlet close to Kunnur, where, with about thirty followers, he has taken to the plough. He likewise has claims on the Nizam's Government. Bapoo Wulud Ruttun, Naik, Huttee Nangeerghur — a small fort, now in ruins, a short distance from Kunnur. Bapoo Naik is now settled at Pulas- gaom Khoordy a village about five miles south of Kunnur, with fifteen or twenty followers, who have all taken to the plough. Bapoo J>f aik receives a trifling pension from the British Government, and he has also, like the other four Naiks, above named, claims on the Nizam. There are several other Naiks living in the districts, below this part of the range, of Adjunta hills ; but they are too inconsiderable, to deserve notice here. ♦ ♦ » I regret that I am unable to give an account, in this place, of the Bheet Naiks in the Sautpoora range, who furnished employ- ment for so large a portion of our disciplined troops in Khandes, in 1818-19 : or of the Ramoosy Naiks, and their followers, in the hills within the Poona Collectorate, and in the adjacent territory of the Punt Suchew, and the Konkan, who have, in like manner, during the present year, (1827-28,) given employment to large de- tachments from the troops in their vicinity. 32 JAGHEERDARS, &c. The nobles, and OFFICERS, under the GOVERNMENT of HY- DRABAD. Lineage of the Soobehdar of the Deccariy commonly, called the ISizam, NiZAM-ooL-MooLK, Otherwise Asif Jah, the founder of the present dynas- ty of Hydrabad, was deputed from Delhi, to the Deccan, as viceroy, in i7l3 ; assumed sovereignty over all the Moghul possessions, south of the Nerbudda, in 1723 ; and died at Boorhanpoor in March, 1748, in the 78th year of his age. He left six sons, and six daughters, by various mothers. The eldest, legiti- mate, daughter was married to Khajeh Baba Khan, the Soobehdar of Lahore, and the younger to the Nuwab Mootuwussil Khan, afterwards the father of Moozuffir Jung. The eldest, legitimate, son, Ghazee-ood-deen, was, at the time of his father's death, employed at Belhi, as his representative at court, and was confirmed in the succession to his posts and honours. He assembled an army in 1752, to assert his right to the musnud of Hydrabad, then occupied by Sulabhut Jung; but having, oh his arrival at Aurungabad, accepted an invitation from the mother of Nizam Ali, he ate of a poisoned dish, and died, in Sep- tember of that year. Nasir Jung, the second, or youngest, legitimate son, succeeded his father in the Government of the Deccan, but was assassinated at Arcot, by Himmut Bahadur, the Nuwab of Kurnool, in 1750. He was succeeded by his nephew, Moozuffir Jung,* who reigned a few months, and was also assassinated by the Patan Nuwabs. Sulabhut Jung, the third son, but eldest illegitimate, succeeded his ne- phew, and reigned till 1762, when he was imprisoned at Beder, by his brother, Nizam-ood-Dowla, otherwise Nizam Ali ; where he was strangled, it is said, the following year. Nizam Ali, the 5th son, succeeded to the throne in 1763; and, having been concerned in many great political changes in India, died in 1803, after a long reign, remarkable for vicissitude, intrigue, and crime. During his reign, the Hydrabad dominions were greatly extended, and a distinct, perhaps perma- nent, boundary acquired, by treaties with neighbouring states. The fourth son, Busalut Jung, was appointed governor of Beejapoor, in 1756; but that province being ceded to the Mahrattas in 1760, the districts of Adoni, Rachoor, and Guntoor, were granted to him in Jagheer. With Adoni for his capital, he then endeavoured to establish an independent principality, and his conquests from the Mahrattas, at length, gave him the Krishna for his northern boundary, and Tippoo's dominions for his southern. The sixth son, 'Moghul Ali Khan, otherwise Meer Moghul, took part with Rugonath Rao, against his brother, in 1761 : but returned the following year, and threw himself on his clemency : He commanded a division of the Ni- zam's army in 1786, in the war against Tippoo ; was some time after commit- ted to prison at Beder ; and was enlarged in 1796, by his nephew, Ali Jah, then in rebellion ; when he returned to reside at Hydrabad. He left one son. Of the six sons of Nizam-ool-Moolk, descendants of two of them only, are of any consideration in the Deccan : viz. of Nizam Ali, and Busalut Jung. Gazee-ood-deen, however, left a son, named Meer Shaboodeen, who succeeded * Moozuffir Jung was the first prince in India, that made a subsidiary engagement with an European po^'er. He subsidized the party under M. Bussy, and assigned the northern cir- cars for their payment. UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF HYDRABAD. 33 to his father's posts, and honors, at Delhi ; and, shortly after, became vizier of the empire. He was equally remarkable for talents, ambition, and wick- edness : after bearing a conspicuous part, in the troubles and crimes of the period, at Delhi, he is said to have visited the Deccan, and, as if to fill up the measure of his guilt, suggested to the ill-fated Rugonath Rao, his accession to power by the murder of his nephew, Narraen Rao. He after- wards made a pilgrimage to Mecca, and, returning from thence, died at Kalpee, in Hindoostan, in the jear A. D. 1800. He left a number of children, but two only of his sons were legitimate, and they receive a pension of 6,000 rupees a year, from the Nizam. Nizam Ali* had eight sons, by his different wives. Ali Jah, the eldest, raised a rebellion, in 1796, against his father, which was suppressed by the French Corps, under Monsieur Ray- mond ; and Ali Jah fell into his hands : this officer was conveying his prisoner to Court, widi the respect due to the heir apparent, hut, on the route, having received orders from the minister to cover up the Howdah in which the prince rode, after the manner of women, the prince, v.hether from shame, grief, or despair, took poison. Sekuni:)Iir .Jah, the second son, and present Nizam, commanded the Hydrabad contingent, which joined Lord Cornwallis, in the war against Tippoo, in 1791 ; and succeeded his father on the musnud, in 1803. The third son, Furreedoon Jah, together with his brother, Jum- shaid Jah, who was the fifth son, are both deceased, and their sister is married to the Nuwab, Shums-oo!-Oomra. The fourth son, Jehandur Jah, is deceased. The sixth is Akber Jah, brother, by the same mother, to the present Nizam : he is a Munsubdar of 12,000, and has a personal allowance of 72,000 rupees a year. The seventh son is Sooleemun Jah. And Kywan Jah, the eighth, or youngest, son, was born in July 1799. Busalut Jung died in 17>i8, leaving three sous : the eldest, Mohubut Jung, styled Dara Jah, galbntly defe2ided Adoni, in 1787, against Hydur Ali, until succoured ; Adoni, however, was nearly destroyed, and Mohubut Jung removed his residence to Rachoor, where he died in 1794. His second son is. Roostum Jung; and third. Shah Boodee Khan. Mohubut Jung left, on his death, one son, a minor, Ghoolam Hoossain Khan ; in whose name a rebellion, against his feudal superior, the Nizam, was raised in 1795, which was suppressed by the Hydrabad Subsidiary Force : his fort, Rachoor, was reduced in March, 1796, and the whole of the territory, acquired by Busalut Jung, now called the ceded districts, was, in 1800, transferred to the East India Company. Sekundur Jah, who is at present on the throne, is styled the Nizam by Europeans only ; his own subjects call him Bundeegan-i-Aalee, literally. Slaves of the Most High. He has only one son by his marriage, named, Meer Tufuzzool Ali, who was born in 1804, and since married to the niece of Mooneer-ool-Moolk : — he has also eight natural sons, the elder of whom, Nasir-ood-Dowla, Sumsam-ood-Dowla, and Moobariz-ood-Dowla, are Mun- subdars of 7,000 ; and have each a personal allowance, of 27,000 rupees a year. The two latter are violent characters, and were confined in Golconda in 1816, for repeated outrages, till released on the intercession of the resident. The most efficient part of the Nizam's military establishment, are six Re- giments of Infantry, of 800 men each, who are officered by gentlemen, many of whom are lent from his Majesty's and the Honourable Company's service. They are clothed, armed, disciplined and paid, in every respect, as the regular troops in the Company's service. There are also four Regiments of Cavalry, of 550 men each, commanded by Europeans, but somewhat differently con- stituted. Besides the above, there is a Regiment of Cavalry of 550 men, and two of Infantry of 650 men each, officered and constituted in like manner, paid by the Nuwab of Ellichpoor, for a description of which see. The par- ties of the principal Jagheerdars are also noticed under their names. * Kizam Ali lost all power of motion, 'ii i? said, by the Palsy, in 179( E 34 JAGHEERDARS, &C, Civil and Military Officers under the Nizam.

In 1775 the minister, Rokun-oad-Dowla, was assassinated by Order of the Nizam, and the powers of minister were entrusted to a commission of three J cr-ions, viz. : Wukar-ood-Bowla^ Sumsam-ool-Moolk, and the Roy Royaun. In ]783, Moosheer-ool-Moolk, was admitted to a share in this joint ministry, in siiccession to Wukar-ood-l)owia, deceased; and gradually madelrimself independent of his colleagues : henceforward he continued to conduct the administraiioli of affairs at Hydrabad, (excepting in the year, 1795-96, while he was a prisoner at Poena) till his death, which happenv-.d in May 1804. During his stay at Poena, he effected a treaty with the Pesliwa, by which the territory and tribute, obtained by the Mahrattas, by the treaty of Kurdla was again relinquished to the Nizam.

He is a Munsubdar of 7,000; but in point of real power, and im- portance in the state, he stands, perhaps, next to Shums-ooI-Oomra. His troops are well appointed, and his cavalry, one regiment, is probably the best in the Nizam's army. His infantry, (1,300 men) is formed into two battalions, weil paid, disciplined, and appointed, and under British officers. He also maintains about 1,000 Rohillas, and other irregulars, for the local duties of the districts, which compose his Jagheer^ in which Ellichpoor, and Balapoor, are the principal towns.

D. 1823 : it was a religious quarrel, and the Ghyrmehdee sect were expelled from the Nizam's domin- ions in consequence, as they had been, before, from the dominions of Tippoo. Raja, Chundoo Lall, selected him to command the body of 4,000 horse, which was to have joined Sir Thomas Hislop's army, in 1815 ; but he, subsequently, was directed to act, with Soobhan Khan, against the Pindarries. Mahomed Dawood Khan, is son to the elder brother of the father of Mu- nuwur Khan, the present Nuwab of Kurnool.

The Raja of Shorapoor, Pid Naik, (commonly called the Ramoosij Raja ; himself and the greater part of his subjects, being of the Ramoosy tribe.) The ancestor of this chief, having aided Aurungzeeb, in the subjugation of the Beejapoor State, of which he was a subject, was then made a Raja, and a Royal Munsubdar of 5,000. The district of Shorapoor is situated, between TRIBUTARY TO THE NIZAM. 41 tlie Kistna and the Bheema, immediately above their junction, and is about forty-five miles from east to west, its greatest length. The Raja purcliases a nominal independence, by paying an annual tribute to both the Nizam, and Peshwa (1816) ; the first receives 1,45,000 rupees, the latter claims 85,000 ru- pees, and each, also, levies a fine, on the accession of a new raja. His fami- ly, and also his principal dependents, are Ramoosies. His revenues, formerly, amounted to eight lacks of rupees ; but they do not now exceed six lacks. In 1802 the troops, which the Raja had collected, to resist the Nizam's army, were estimated at 4,000 cavalry, 8,000 infantry, and 4,000 Behdurs, or Ra- moosies, who form a Militia, but are employed only when urgently required. He probably has not now above 2,000 men, in regular pay. His principal forts are Shorapoor, Wakunkhera, Windroog, and Gurketah. The Raja of Gudwaul, Seetaram Bopaul, is of the Koonbee, or cultivating, class. The district of Gudwaul is situated between the Kistna and Toong- budra, just above their junction, and extends about 30 miles from north to south. The accession of his ancestor to rank, and his own relative situation towards the Nizam and Peshwa, appear to be similar to that of the Raja of Shorapoor. The revenues may be about four lacks of rupees a year ; the tribute, which the Nizam claims, is 1,20,000 rupees: the Peshwa (1816) claims only (7,500 rupees. The Raja has 500 troops in constant pay, and about 1,000 Behdurs. His principal forts are Gudwaul, Dawur, Borepelly, and Nizamkoonda. The ZUMEENDARS in the EASTERN part of the NIZAM'S COUNTRY. Raja, Sawaie Ash war ao, Zumeendar of Pallooncha on the Godavery, and a Royal Munsubdar. The family held the Talooka of Pallooncha in Jagheer, and were obliged to maintain a party of peons in the Fort of Kumummet. The present Raja has a small district assigned to him, for his maintenance, worth about 10,000 rupees a year; the rest of the estate, worth above a lack of rupees, is now under the management of the Government. The Raja's rights have not been entirely abolished; he still retains his titles, &c. and may be restored to his estate, at the pleasure ot the Government. Kona Rao, Zumeendar of Elgundel, a powerful chieftain, retaining above 1,000 followers, and able to raise twice that number, on any emergency, till 1819, when his forts were reduced by Major Pitman, with the regular troops under British officers, and himself expelled ; he remained a fugitive in the forests, to the east of the Godavery, for a short time, and was then brought in on Kowl : he is now under restraint at Hydrabad. His estates are mortgaged to Ameen-ool-Moolk, (Tarameeah,) on account of private debts, under guarantee of the Nizam's Government. Kona Rao was, for many years, refractory, and derided the efforts of the irregular troops, which he was well able to do, from the strength of his country, and the number, and bravery of his followers. He used also to plunder the country, for a great distance around. Elgundel is about eighty miles N. of Hydrabad ; and the petty Zumeendars in its neighbourhood are always ready to join in any rebellion against the Government. The Son of the late Jugputh Rao, of Mulyal, holds half share of the same Zumeendary with Kona Rao ; his father was also powerful, and used to ravage the neighbouring districts. The Family of the Gonewar-Zumeexdars of Chinnoor, on the God- avery, in Aramgeer circar, were very powerful, and almost independent, till reduced in 1821, or 22, by the Russell Brigade, under Major Pitman. They F 42 ZUMEENDARS AND CHIEFS could raise four thousand followers, and generally kept up about two thou- sand; and were the very scourge of the districts, surrounding; their estate for many miles. The family is divided into four branches, their estates, collective- ly, are worth about three lacks ol rupees, and are held under a tributary tenure paying fo Government 72,000 rupees a year. The estate is now under the immediate management of the Government officers. Some individuals of the family reside m the district ; some are in confinement at Hydrabad ; and others are living in the EUore Circar, as fugitives : they may be restored at the pleasure of His Highness, or of his Minister, Raja Chundoo Lall. This family is closely allie 1 with, and related to, that of Kona Rao, and the late Jugputh Rao, of Mulyal ; they are all of the Elma, or Elmewar, cast, which, like the Rajpoots in Hindoostan, forms the soldiery of Tellingana, and claim descent from Purtub Rudhur, one of the last Kings of Warangol, of the Beylal dynasty, but not legitimately. The Family of Sewdasheo Riddey, are still residing in the Maiduck Circar, but in very reduced circumstances. This chief, formerly the powerful Zumeendar of Maiduck, it will be recollected was an associate in Ali Jah's rebellion in 1795. His son raised a rebellion, about two years ago, which was suppressed by the Nizam's regular troops ; but he was not taken, and is still a fugitive and rebel. DISTRICTS OF SURAT. o^^^ The Nuwab of Surat, Meer Ufzool-ood-Deen feiiua, Buhadoor, styled -^----.^^aho Hushmut Jun^, has independent authority over those families, which resiclFupon his" estate. He has about 1,600 Beegas of land, about three hun- dred cultivators, two hundred armed attendants, and two hundred servants and slaves. He receives 1,00,000 rupees, annually, from the British Govern- nient, and one fifth oftho ouctomo oollootion s , and s urpluB revenu e s^ of Surat, ^ oh amount to about 50jQU0 rupoca moro> A^ r^trVealthy . ^«.^^ liiT^uwab, and Bukshee, of Surat are both descendants of Meeah Shah ''V7£^aZ(^ ^'J^^k^^"> ^ native of Boorhanpoor, who appears to ha,ve settled in Surat, about -^z^>c^.X^ vision for him and his family, which he now enjoys. In the year 1749 a civil war broke out, between Musaood and Syed Achun ; when the latter, after be- , ing besieged in the CHStle for eight months, was induced to visit his opponent, who seized, and embarked him for Bombay, whence he proceeded to thjP Peshwa at Poona, by whose aid he was afterwards restored. -^^ ^ i/'^yU^o*-/ *tX«^^ The Nuwab of Sucheen, Seedee, Ibrahim Khan, Buhadoor,^is an Abyssinian by descent.

Raja of Mandavee, Huraeersiughjee Doorjunsinghjee, is a Rajpoot. Doorjunsingh, an ancestor of this chief, presented a Nuzur, of 5,000 rupees to the Peshwa, in 1761 ; which appears to be the earliest record of this family, at Poona. Doorjunsingh's party was then one hundred horse ; but it was reduced to fifty, by Rugonath Rao; and afterwards increased to seventy-five, by Mahdco Rao. In 1767 the Peshwa exacted 30,000 rupees, upon a Surunjam Puttee ;* and in 1774, a further sum of 60,000 rupees, from Bhug- wunt Singh, then manager of the estate. On Bhugwunt Singh's death, in 1776, the widow of Doorjun Singh adopted Gooman Singh, and presented a Nuzur of 30,000 rupees. t Gooman Singh adopted Doorjun Singh, who suc- ceeded in A. D. 1787, when the Nuzur paid was 75,000 rupees. Doorjun Singh died in December, 1814, and was succeeded by his second cousin, Humeer Singh, the present Raja. The revenue is rated at 1,80,000 rupees ; 80,000 of which is grass, or black-mail, collected from the British, and Gaekwar, territories. He pays a tribute of 60,000 rupees 10 the British Gov- ernment. The estate is situated on the north bank of the Taptee ; the chief town contains about two thousand houses; and the inhabitants are princi- pally Bheels of the predatory tribe. He keeps up about fifteen horse, and thirty-five Sebundies. The Raoul of Bansda, Oode Singhjee Rae Singhjee, a Rajpoot. His coun- try is extremely jungly, and commences about the bottom of the Rhowra Ghat. His chief town and consists of two or three hundred huts, the walls of which are mostly constructed of bamboo wicker-work, sometimes plastered over. He can command about one thousand bowmen among his subjects, but they are peaceably inclined, or timid, and much employed in the distillation of a spiritu- ous liquor, called Mhowra. His revenue is rated at 60,000 rupees, and he pays a tribute^ of 7,800 rupees to the British Government. In 1758, Oode Singh first paid chouth, to the Poona state, 4,500 iupees. He died in 1762, and was suc- ceeded by Zoorawur Singh, when the chouth was fixed at 7,600 rupees. The Peshwa's officer interfered in the affairs of the estate in 1779, and put Keerut Singh in possession of it, exacting a Nuzur of 20,000 rupees, besides 12,800 rupees for military charges. In 1791 Veehur Singh, the son of Zoorawur Singh, died, and his half brother, Neahur Singh, succeeded, paying a Nuzur of 29,000 rupees : the son of the latter now has the estate. See Itinerary, page 20. The Rana of Dhurumpoor, otherwise of Ramnugur, Veejydeo Roopdeo. a Rajpoot. The earliest record of this chief, at Poona, is dated 1779, wheri * A Surunjam Puttee commutes the service of the party, for the money required for its pay- ment. This order, or Puttee, was occasionally sent upon chiefs, when the Government want- ed money, rather than troops. f Nuzurs (fines, or fees,) paid on succession to property, is a branch of revenue. A son, succeeding his father in a freehold estate, is not liable to this payment, unless in cases of adoption : a Jagheerdar, or other servant of Government, is always liable to it, on being con- firmed : a Nuzur, however, is not limited to this meaning. X The tribute, or chouth, of Bansda, and also of Dhurumpoor, was transfen'ed to Ibe Honorable Company by the Treaty of Basaeen, concluded 31st December, 180?. 44 BHEEL RAJAS, AND WUSSAWAS. 15,000 rupees was exacted from the Rana, Koour Singh. In 1784, Somdeo, then Rana, died, and his son, Roopdeo, was confirmed in the estate. Three years after, the Rana having displaced Oomed Singh, the manager of the family, to make way for Lukshmun Mallee, a menial servant, the former appealed to the Peshwa, promising at the same time a Nuzur of 5,000 rupees, and the Rana was directed to restore him. In 1801 an order (Surunjam Puttee) was sent upon the Rana, by the Peshwa, for 50,000 rupees, which demand being resisted, a force was sent against him from Basseen, which compelled payment. His territory, which is a thick forest, with scarcely any cultivation, lies between the Gaekwar's districts, and those of the Raja of Penth, and is rated at 1,40,000 rupees : the Company have a share in the transit duties, and have custom chokees in the cowntiy. His Military Force consists of about 150 Arabs and Mewattees, and sixty horsemen, besides which he can assemble, nearly, 500 Kolee bowmen. The heir is about eight years of age. The Raja of Rajpepla, Veheerisaljee Narsinghjee, is a tributary to the Gaekwar, to whom he pays 60,000 rupees per annum. His territory is about one hundred miles in length, by nearly as great a breadth. His present revenue is rated at 2^ lacks of rupees, including his Tora grass, or black- mail, on the British territories. He maintains about one thousand troops, besides bowmen. The Wusawa of Wadee, Race Singh, can command about two thousand bowmen on his estate, which lies north-west of Mandavee. The Raja of Dang, or the Wusawa, styled Silput, entertains about three thousand bowmen. The Wusawa (head Bheel) Koonvaria, has under his control about three thousand bowmen ; he lives at Sookhbura, or Sagbaree, about six miles from the north bank of the Taptee, and on the east of Wadee. The Wusawa, Jeewa, resides on the north bank of the Tappee, towards Khandes, and has about two thousand bowmen. This chief was, formerly, a distinguished freebooter in Khandes : having, afterwards, carried his depre- dations into the Company's Pergunna of Unkuleshwur, (Ocklaseer,) the Gaekwar detached a force against him, in 1814, which drove him to extremity; but not until the Rajpepla territory was nearly depopulated, and five thousand houses were reduced to ashes. Chowdree, Nuhana Bhaee, lives at Nuldhura, a village in the Muhoowa Pergunna (Gaekwar's), and keeps about five hundred bowmen. The Wusawa, Ramjee, lives at Sisodra, a village in the Unkuleshwur (Ocklaseer) Pergunna, and has under him fifty, or sixty, bowmen, employed as Burtinuyas, or Watchmen, in villages of the Unkuleshwur, and Hansot, Pergunnas. The Wusawa, Huriya, lives at Wutaria, a village of the Raj ; and has about two hundred bowmen under him, distributed also in Hansot, and Unkuleshwur Pergunnas, and some in the Raj. The Wusawa, Cheediya, has under him an hundred, or one hundred and twenty, bowmen, employed in the Gaekwar's Wusravee, and Ghulla, Per- gunnas. He resides at Kuntwa. The Wusawa, Jeriya, lives at Asurma-Kunukpoor, in the Wusravee Pergunna, and keeps up about seventy-five bowmen, also distributed in the Wusravee, and Ghulla, Pergunnas. The Wusawa, Hansla, lives at Kurunjun, a village of the Ghulla Per- gunna, and has five hundred bowmen, employed under the command of the The following is extracted from an account of the Bheels in the same region as those on the omfositej^age^ but communicated after the work had been struck^Z The following Bheel Chiefs, viz. Raee-Singh of Wadee, Kelea Wulvee of Goowalee, Koonwureya of Stokhbarry, and the Wusawa of Gungtha, ac- knowledge the Raja of Rajpeepla as Lord-paramount. The energies of Jeewa emancipated him from all control of the Rajpeepla Raja, and he had won and established his independence at the period at which he entered into an engagement with the British Government, when it took possession of Khan- desh. Chundur Singh of Bodowul, is about three koss north of the Taptee, and ten from Nundoorbar, is of an ancient family related to the Rajpeepla, CAo^a-Oodeepoor, Burwaney, and Dhurumpoor Rajas, formerly, and many Bheel Naiks were under the control of this family, Raja Parwee, and Pahancheya Parwee, who can assemble about 500 Bheel bowmen, they have each an allowance of 200 rupees, and the Raja himself a thousand rupees annually, paid regularly monthly from the British Government. The Wusawa of Wadee. This person is known by the name of Raeesing Naik, and is father-in-law to Koorwurya Wusawa, of Sagbaree, or Sookh- bal-ry : he may command aboui 200 bowmen, but he possesses little influence even over them. The Raja of Dang, or the Wusawa styled Silput. — Silput Raja is the principal of the Dang chieftains, and is a young man of about 26 years of age. Khem Raja, the uncle of Silput Raja, is about 50 years old, a shrewd sensible man, possessing great influence over Silput. There are other petty chiefs in the Dang district, who acknowledge the supremacy ot Khem and Silput Raja. Silput has from 60 to 80 Sebundies, and can levy about 3,000 bowmen. KooNwuRYA THE WusAWA OF SooKHBARRY, formcily a notorious freeboot- er, and one of the last who was brought under the control of the British Gov- ernment, enjoys a nemnookh, or fixed allowance. He resides at Sookhbarry, and can command the services of from two to three thousand bowmen ; he has about 40 Arabs, Sindians, and Hubshee, in his employ, some of whom are mounted. This chief is the most active, enterprising, and intelligent of any of the Naiks ; he writes Goojratee, but is greatly addi<5ted to liquor : his con- duct has, since his being admitted to terms, been generally peaceable, but it is believed that he connives at the mal-practices of his followers. He is sup- posed the wealthiest of all the Bheels. KooNwuNTHA WusAWA OF GuNGTHA, SOU of the famous Jeewa Wusawa, resides at Chicklee, on the north bank of the Taptee : this family, and that of the Wusawas of Sookhbarry, have a blood feud, Jeewa having put to death the father of the present chieftain ; — they are relations. The Gungtha family have acted with uniform good faith to the British Government, and have had a liberal allowance granted to them. They are employed actively in preser- ving the peace of the country. The family possess much hereditary influence, and for purposes of aggression, could readily command the whole Bheei population. The following observations on the Bheels in Meywar, and which apply, as far as lean learn, to the same people, spread over the countries further south, have just been communicated to me by a gentleman employed in Rajpootana. That the Bheels were the original inhabitants of the country now inhabited by the Rajpoots, there can be little doubt. In addition to the proofs men- f2 tioned by Sir John-Malcolm I may add one whicli seems to point out that the connexion between the Bheels and Rajppots is that of conquerors and conquered.* On the succession of a prince to the Gaddee of Oodeepoor, a Bheel is the principal actor in the investiture. He places the Teeka on the Ranah's forehead, and the material used for this purpose is his own (the Bheers) blood. This is a very remarkable circumstance, as the Bheels on every other occasion are carefully excluded from the Durbar— indeed they are considered as out-casts, and even their Principal Chief in this part of the country, the How (for he claims that title,) of Jowas though he be a Gassiah, i. e. a descendant from a Rajpoot father by a Bheel mother, was refused admittance to the presence of the Ranah. There can be little doubt but that the above ceremony is emblematical of the sovereigns of this country holding their territories by right of conquest. A more bloody proof of this connexion also exists — when a Ranah has occasion to pass the Muhee River an individual of a tribe descended from a Chowan Rajpoot by a Bheel mother is sacrificed — ^his throat being cut and his body thrown into the river This sacrifice has once been performed during the lifetime of the present Ranah. Throughout Central India the Bheels answer the description of that ex- communicated clan " the children of the mist." They lead the same preda- tory life, and many are still the inroads they make upon the plain, levying black mail upon the inhabitants, carrying oflf cattle and whatever comes ia their way. ,*.TheEaja of Maudavee, Dhurumpoor, Bansda, &c. are Rajpoots, but their subjects are Bheds.

In 1724, a new Viceroy being appointed from Delhi over the province, to supersede Nizam-ool-Moolk, HaiiiedKhan, his uncle, who was officiating as his deputy, called in the Mabrattas, under Kantajee Kuddum, and gave hira battle, first near Ah- medabad, and afterwards at Bussoo. The imperial trodps were led by Shujaet Khan, the Foujdar of Surat, and new deputy Governor of the Pro- vince, and his brother, Roostum Ali Khan, the Foujdar of Baroda and Pitlaud, who were considered the bravest oflicers of their time ; they were both killed, and the imperial army was annihilated. Peelajee Gaekwar, by whose treachery, in affecting to join Roostum Ali at Bussoo, the overthrow of the latter had been caused, received, as a reward, the chouth of that part of the province, east of the Muhee river, including the Mahals dependant on Surat ; while Kantajee had conferred upon him the chouth, v/est of that river. The Suenaputee, Trimbuk Rao Dhabary, arrived shortly after from the Deccan, and led the whole of the Mabrattas, in the province, to the siege of Canibay ; where, a quarrel having arisen among themselves, a battle ensued, and Trimbuk Rao was slain. Ooman Baee, widow of Khundee Rao Dhabary, and mother of the infant Suenaputee, Yeswunt Rao, seems on this to have been vested with the conduct of the family interests in Gujerat, with Kantajee and Peelajee as her deputies. The latter was assassinated, in 1731, by emissaries of Abhee Singh, the Raja of Joudpoor, who had been appointed from Delhi Soobehdar of the Province ; and, in 1732, Ooman Baee displaced Kantajee Kuddum from collecting the chouth of the Ahmed abad side of the Muhee, and placed the whole chouth of the province under Dumajee Gaek- war, the son of Peelajee. In this year Baroda, in which Momin Khan commanded for Sher Khan Babi, who ofliciated as Foujdar for his late fat|ier-in-law. Sirdar Mahomed Khan, was besieged during his absence, and taJcen, after a brave defence, by Dumajee Gaekwar, who defeated the army approaching under Sher Khan Babi, to its relief; and Baroda became, thenceforth, the seat of Government of the Gaekwar family. The devoted province of Gujerat, which for so many years had been a constant field of bloodshed, and oppression, arising out of the weakness, and constant chang- ing of the imperial officers, and the absence of all principle in their annual visitors, the Mabrattas, who never sought a reason to justify an attack upon a weaker power, was destined to change masters. The combined Mahratta forces, under Rugonath Rao, (otherwise, Rugoba Dada, father of the Ex- Peshwa Bajee Rao) and Dumajee Rao Gaekwar, in 1755,* laid siege to Ah- medabad ; which, after a gallant defence, conducted by Juwan Murd Khan Babi, capitulated ; from which day the royal authority over the province ceased, and was divided between the Peshwa and Gaekwar. Dumajee * I have taken most of the dates from Grant Duff, the facts principally from Mac Murdo ; not having troubled myself, to examine Manuscripts on points, in which the»e respectable officers differ. It is subject for regret, that the late Captain Mac Murdo'g account of the early, annual, incursions of the Mabrattas, into Gujerat, is not published. I am indebted to it for the greater part of the next two or three pages. 46 JAGHEERDARS, &C. commanded a division in the disastrous expedition to Hindoostan, in 17'^0 and was present at Paniput, from which he escaped, and died at Baio. jq 1768; leaving four sons, the eldest of whom, Syajee, was an ideot, Hn:i tue remaining three reigned in succession : two of Dumajee's sons, viz. Syi.jee and Futteh Sing, married ladies of the family of Kuddum Bandy. Govn d Rao, the second son, but the last on the gaddee, died in 1800, kavin- three legitimate children, the two elder of whom nave successively rei>.',ne(i, and passed away, and the youngest, Syajee, is now at the head of the Government. His eldest son is named Rao Sahib. The Gaekwar's share of the revenues of Gujerat are rated at 75,00,000 rupees per annum. The efficient military establishment of the Gaekwar Government is the Subsidiary Force, which consists of five regiments of infantry, completed to 800 men each, two regiments of cavalry, and a company of artillery. The maintenance of this force has been provided for by territorial cessions, as de- termined by treaty with the British Government in 1818. By the same treaty, he also engages to keep up a contingent of 3,000 irregular horse, which ^ to act, as occasion may require, with the Subsidiary Force. Other troops are maintained, for the purposes of revenue collections, and police. Tributaries of the British and Gaekwar Government, The Nuwab, or Dewan, of Pahlunpoor, Futteh Khan. He derives his descent from a tribe of Afghans, who, according to the Akbar Namu, occupied Bahar in the reign of Humayoon, Emperor of Delhi : hence the family name of Beharee, or Veharee. The tribe, it would appear, afterwards took possession of Jalore, in Malwa ; and their chief, Bahaioor Khan, was confirmed, as Foujdar, by Abkar : which office remained, hereditary, in the family, to the reign of Aurungzeeb. This Prince, in order to accommodate his differences with Ajeet Sing, Durakdass, and other rebellious chieftains, of Marwar, transferred Jalore to them, dispossessing the Beharees, who were obliged to remove to Pahlunpoor and Deesa ; the office of Foujdar over these places having been, previously, granted to them. Phar Khan, Jaloiee, who was Foujdar in 1735, was obliged to pay one lack, as tribute, to the Mah- rattas ; but joined Momin Khan, the imperial officer in 1737, and 1739, and took part against them. Buhadoor Khan was Foujdar in l'?59, Mhen Pahlunpoor was besieged by the Mahrattas, under Sudasheo Ramchunder ; to whom, after a month's fighting, during which the whole of his country was plundered, and laid waste, he was obliged to pay 35,000 rupees. Some Bramins of Jalore still do homage, yearly, to the Dewan, for villages received from his ancestors. The present Dewan is son of Feroze Khan, who was murdered by a faction of Sindhee Jemadars, in 1813. The revenue is rated at 2i lacks of rupees, of which 50,000 is paid, as tribute, to the Gaekwar. Deesa is a dependency. The Nuwab of Deesa, Shumshere Khan, was appointed guardian to his nephew, Futteh Khan of Pahlunpoor, through British influence, in 1813 : he was persuaded also, having no male heirs, to relinquish all claims to Pahlunpoor, on his own account, to give his only daughter to Futteh Khan, and to constitute him heir to his Deesa possessions. The Nuwab of Radhunpoor and Summee, ZoorawurKhan Babi. The Babi* family appears to have been ancient and powerful in Gujerat. An ancestor, Sher Khan Babi, was Thanadar of the district of Chowaul, in 1659; and, in 1713, JuwanMurd Khan, a grandson, was appointed Foujdar of Radhunpoor: he had several sons, the elder of whom, bearing the same name, is conspicuous, in the annals of the period, in Gujerat. He was appointed, by the Soobehdar of the Province, Mobaruz-ool-Moolk, Foujdar of Summee and Moonjpoor in * See the Nuwab of Balasinore. CHIEFS IN GUJERAT. 47 1726; and Mahomed Anwur, his brother, was at the same time appointed Foujdar of Radhunpoor. In 1731, Jnwan Murd Khan had the Foujdaree of Beeruns^aoui conferred upon him, by Abhee Sing^h, then Soobehdar ; in reward for his success, in negociatiug a peace with the widow of the Suena- putee, and had assembled an army, to avenge the assassination of her deputy, Peelajse Gaekwar : he was then actinsj as Foujdar of Baroda, for his late father-in-law, Sirdar Mahomed Khan ; but chanced to be absent, when it was besieged, and taken, by the Mahrattas in the following year. He also farmed the Pergunnas of Kuree and Beejapoor ; and in 1733, being unable to realize sufficient to pay the rent, from the distressed state of the country, he proceeded on a plundering excursion into Eedurwara. While he was be- sieging Eedur, the Mahrattas, under Ranoojee Sindhia, and Holkar, unex- pectedly arrived, on their way from Malwa into Gujerat, and took part with the besieged, and exacted a large fine from Juwan Murd Khan, detaining liis brother, Zoorawur Khan, as a hostage, for its payment. He was appoint- ed Foujdar of Puttun by Momin Khan in 1736, who had, by a royal decree, been appointed to the Nizamut. In short, after an active participation in the troubles, and excesses, of the period, he at length, on the death of Momin Khan, in 1743, assumed charge of the Soobeh, ostensibly for Abdool-Uzeez- Khan, then Killadar of Joonere, who had been appointed from Delhi. This Soobehdar, however, when on his march from the Deccan, was encountered, and defeated near the Kim Kutodra, and slain by his pursuers, while at- tempting to cross the Nerbudda on horseback. Fukhir-ood-Dowla was then sent from Delhi, to succeed as Soobehdar, having paid a Peshcush of two lacks of rupees; after evincing great valour and exertion, and being deserted by Sher Khan Babi, and Raja Rae Singh, of Eedur, with their troops, he was taken prisoner by the Mahrattas, under Rungajee, the agent of Dumajee Gaekwar, and auxiliary of Juwan Murd Khan. In 1746, Rungajee exerted himself to reinstate Fukhir-ood-Dowla, and again persuaded Sher Khan Babi and Raja Rae Singh, to join him; when they laid siege to Ahmedabad. Rungajee's proceedings, however, were disapproved of by Dumajee, and Juwan Murd Khan continued in charge of the Soobeh, till 1755, when the city was besieged by the Mahrattas, and obliged to capitulate :* Juwan Murd Khan retired to Puttun; but four years after he assisted in the second siege of Ahmedabad, when it was defended by Momin Khan. Some years afterwards the heirs of Juwaa Murd Khan, were deprived of Puttun, and some other places, by Dumajee, who was desirous of weakening the power and influence of this family. The present Nuwab succeeded his father, Sher Khan, in 1824 : he is the fourth, in descent, from the second Juwan Murd Khan. His revenue is about 1,50,000 rupees a year, and he sends a horse and clothes, yearly, to the Gaekwar, in token of being his tributary : he keeps up a Military establishment of about sixty horse, and 550 infantry. The Nuwab of Cambay, Bundeb Ali Khan, succeeded to his brother, Futteh Ali Khan, in 1 822. These were sons of Momin Ali Khan, who was related to, and succeeded Muftakhur Khan, as Mootusuddee of the Chowree- assee, (or district of 84 villages,) of Cambay. Cambay, formerly the principal seaport of Gujerat, is now the capital of a small compact territory, compre- hended between the Muhee and Saburrauttee rivers, on the east and west, and * The following is a copy of the first part of the 1st and 3rd articles of the Treaty ; which, was formally executed, and ratified by the usual binding forms. *' Treaty of Balajee Bajeerao, Peshwa, with Juwan Murd Khan Babi, from which no devia- tion shall be made, so long as any of the descendants of that nobleman are in existence.

The revenue is rated at about 2,50,000 rupees ; the Chouth was ceded by the Peshwa, to the Com- pany, in the treaty of Bassein, and is rated, in the schedule annexed to the treaty, at 60,000 rupees. The company also possess half the customs, which, last year, realized 34,096 rupees. The dea^eneracy of their descendants should not operate, as a check, to perpetuating the achievements of the illustrious dead ; and as it is my pur- pose to notice more particularly those, whom others have passed over, let this be my apology, for a longer notice of the first, as well as the second, Momia Khan, otherwise styled Nujeem-ood Dowla. The first Momin Khan is con- spicuous in the annals of Gujerat, from 1725, till he succeeded the Maharaja, Abhee Singh, as Soobehdar of the province, in 1736. He retained this charge till his death, which happened in 1743, when the care of the province, by a royal Firman, was entrusted, jointly, to his son, Muftakhur Khan, and Fida- ool-Deen Khan, who had been latterly his colleague. They were both ejected by Juwan Murd Khan Babi, as soon as the purport of the Firman was kiiown, when they retired to Cambay. In what relationship Nujeem-ood-Dowla stood, to the first Momin Khan, does not appear ; but he was Mootusuddee, or chief of Cambay, in 1746, when he repulsed a force, sent from Ahmeda])ad to subdue Cambay* A difference arising between the Gaekwar and Peshwa, in 1748, the Nuwab requested the latter to send an agent, to collect the Mah- ratta share of the revenue; and, from that day, the Peshwa had an interest in the affairs of Cambay, to which the British Government has succeeded. After beating off the Gaekwar forces, in 1753, he was unable to pay his troops their arrears, and gave them leave to plunder a village, belonging to the Raja of Limree. Finding that this violence was not noticed, he attacked Goga, and exacted a Peshcush from it, and every other village on his route ; and, next year, sent a force into Goelwar, and Katteeawar: and, in two months, took Peshcush from all the Zumeendars of these provinces. In 1755-6 he sei- zed upon Ahmedabad,* which, after a long seige, be yielded up to the Mah- rattas, with whom it has since remained. In 1758 he was besieged in Cam- bay, when he agreed to pay the Peshwa an annual fixed sum, of 10,000 ru- pees, in lieu of the customs of the port. Momin Khan is said to have ob- tained a Sunnud, for the Chowreeassee of Cambay, from the Emperor ; if so, it is the only territory, I imagine, held upon an imperial tenure, in Gujerat. His eldest son, Futteli Ali, succeeded him, and was at the head of the Gov- ernment, when the Honourable Jonathan Duncan visited the place, in 1801. The Raja of Eedur, Gumbheer Singh, is great grandson of Anund Singh, who was a brother of Abhee Singh, the Raja of Joudpoor, and viceroy of Gujerat, between 1731 and 1736. Anund Singh, together with his enterpri- sing brother, Kae Singh, obtained possession of Eedur about this time. Anund Singh was killed in action with the Mahrattas, in 1742, near his own fort. Eedur wara, of which this is the capital, is a mountainous and jungly country, inhabited principally by Bheels. The Raja of Ahmednugur is a son of Sungram Singh, and grandson of Anund Singh, the first Raja of Eedur. Raja Rae Singh, the brother of the latter, joined the Mahrattas in 1740, but went over to the Soobehdar's side, during the following year, when he had Ahmednugur, Amliara, &c. conferred upon him, in Jagheer. * I have followed Grant Duff, as to the date of the capture of Ahmedabad, in 1753 ; at the «ame time, I must be permitted to observe, that Mac Murdo gives a journal of a siege in 1753, conducted by Duraajee GaekwA*, and Rugonaih Rao; when the Royal authority was subver- ted : and again, in 1757, when the siege was more obstinate, and of greater duration. The ■defence was conducted, this last time, bv Nujeem-ood-Dowla, otherwise Momin Khan, ances- tor of the present Nuwab of Cambay, who had obtained possession of the city ; and Juwan Murd Khan Babi, was on this occasion iii the ranks of the besiegers. CHIEFS IN GUJERAT. 49 The Raja of Barreah, has retained his independence (paying tribute to none) from the impervious nature of his country, a hiliy and jungly tract, situated on the N. E. frontier of the Gaekwar possessions. His revenue is small, consisting- principally of exactions, levied upon the villages of other States around him, as the price of forbearance. The marauding parties of Bheels, sent out from these wilds on former occasions, when their dues were withheld, consisted usually of 7 or 800 bowmen, who drove off the cattle and inhabitants, who were held for ransom. A small party of Sindhians, Arabs, &c., partly on foot, and partly mounted, usually composed the rear guard in the retreat. They advanced to the point, where they intended to commence their depredations, under cover of ravines, taking along with them all travel- lers, who discovered them, and plundered, as they retreated to their jungjes, with a management and celerity, which baffled pursuit. The Nuwab of Baiasinore, is a tributary of the British Government. He is a descendant of an elder branch of the powerful family of Babi. The earliest accounts we have of them are, that during the reign of the Emperor Shah Jehan, Oosman Khan, a person high in authority at Delhi, obtained for his two sons, Sher Khan, and Bahadur Khan, charge of the then distur- bed Soobeh of Ahmedabad, and upon their subjugating the town and district of Theraud, it was, with Baiasinore and Veerpoor, granted them in Jagheer. Sher Khan died childless, and the property descended to his nephew Sufdur Khan, and from him to his sons and grandsons. One of the latter, by name Bahadur Khan, took forcible possession of Joonaguih from a Rajpoot, about the beginning of the eighteenth century, another established himself, at a latter period, at Puttun, and a third at Theraud, which, with Naundepoor, is to the present day enjoyed by his descendants in Jagheer. Baiasinore and Veerpoor continued appendages of the Joonagurh estate till circumstances in- duced Bahadur Khan to send his eldest son, Sirdar Mahomed Khan, to Baia- sinore, and dying shortly afterwards, his two younger children took possession of the Joonagurh Gadee, without any opposition from 'their elder brother ; since which each Gadee has descended to the posterity of the respective families. The Baiasinore property, during Sirdar Mahomed Khan's lifetime, yielded but a trifling income, and in the following reign, the period of its greatest prosperity, the revenue was about 50,000 rupees. Till 1768 Baiasinore remained independent, when it was made tributary to Ahmedabad, by the Peshwa's Mamulutdar, who then fixed the tribute at 3,000 rupees, which he afterwards increased to 10,000 rupees : his successor however experienced difficulty in realizing this sum and brought an army before Baiasinore, but after a six months siege the chief was obliged to submit, and since this period the fixed tribute has be^n regularly paid by succeeding chieftains. In 1818 it became ours by right of conquest from the Peshwa. The Thakoor of Ghorasir, an ancient and powerful chieftain. This family formerly resided at Huldee a village a little distance from Ghorasir, on the bank of the river Watruck. Previous to tlie British sway, this chief had made many of the surrounding villages tributary to him ; he in return guaranteeing them protection against the incursions of other independant chiefs. The custom of villages purchasing the protection of such chiefs by a voluntary tribute prevailed much in Gujerat, and when this was not the case, such a payment was forcibly demanded. The right to tribute from villages as may be supposed, gave rise to much contention between the chieftains them- selves, and their power fluctuated often with the caprice of their tributary villages. This Thakoor is now, as indeed are all others in the Kaira Zilla, quite peaceable. In lieu of their tributary payments. Government pay them a given sum under the head of Girras. Their wanta lands, and other acknow- ledged heriditary property, have been continued to them, and they are now agents for Government in the Magisterial capacity ; conducting themselves with every degree of propriety, and being overawed from committing excess, they are reconciled to a system combining security to themselves, and their 50 CHIEFS IN GUJERAT. property, and which has conferred so much prosperity not only on the com- munity in which they themselves reside, but has been also productive of happiness to the inhabitant of the surrounding country. The Thakoor of Sinnore is next in importance: Sinnore is about five or six miles to the eastward of the town of Balasinore. What has been said of the Thakoor of Ghorasir, equally applies to that of Sinnore ; the same habits and pursuits actuated them alike in subduing, and bringing into tribute, the surrounding country and minor chieftains. The Thakoor of Ometta. Bahria Vijey Singh, is son of the late Nur- sing,h Bahria. This Thakoor is of some importance and though a greater person than that of Sinnore, cannot be said to be equal to that of Ghorasir. The same remarks as above noticed with respect to the Thakoor of Ghorasir, applies to this person. His yearly revenue is about 50,000 rupees, and he keeps up a party of seven horse and about thirty matchlockmen. Ometta is about twelve miles west from Baroda, on the Muhee River. The Thakoor of Dehwan, near Borsud, is a person of the same stamp as thatof Ometa, though perhaps a little inferior in importance. His revenue is about 50,000 rupees, and he keeps up about ten horse and forty Sebundy. The Thakoor of Kurraul, in the Kuppurwunj Pergunna, is a person much the same as the above : he is subject to the Gaekwar authority, but enjoys some land in the Company's district. The Thakoor of Senalee, in the Mondah Pergunna, is of but little note. The Thakoor of Soneepoor is a person who was of considerable note in former days : he is now a peaceful and obedient subject. GuNGADHUR SiiASTRY, PuTWURDHUN, who was assassinated in July, 1815, at Punderpoor, while on a mission to the Poona Durbar, from Baroda, left three sons who receive, between them, pensions of 10,000 rupees from the British Government, and 60,000 rupees from the Government of Baroda. Shumboo Shastry, brother of the deceased, has a pension of 1,200 rupees a year from the British Government, and holds vari ms enam villages besides, in the Konkan, Deccan, Surat Zilla, and BunJelcund. CHIEFS IN KATTEEAWAR, ( A Iphahetically arranged.) The Chief of Amrun is a descendant of Meroo Kowaus, a minister to the Jam of Noanugur, who threw olf his allegiance shortly after the accession of the Jam, Suttajee, and possessed himself of the districts of Jooria, Balumba, and Amrun. The latter place, was with twelve villages, confirmed to the Kov/aus family when they evacuated the forts of Jooria and Balumba, on Colonel East's force encamping before the former place. The present chief, who is entirely given up to opium eating, pays 12,000 Kowries* towards the Noanugur tribute. Amrun is a small fort of no strength, and its wall is, in many places, in ruins; there is, however, one strong bastion, in which some guns are mounted. There is a Mahomedan tomb, ot white marble, in the place, which is worthy of remark. The Chiefs of Bauntwa. This Talooka (which comprises eighty villages, of whixjh thirty-six are now deserted) was given by Sulabut Khan, the second Nuwab of Joonagurh, in 1740, to his younger sons DuUeel Khan, and Sher Jumma Khan, to be held in equal divisions by them and their descendants.

The other twenty-two villages populated, are held by six proprietors, the principal of whom are, Mahomed Khan, and Nuttoo Khan. Bauntwa yeilds a revenue of about 1,00,000 rupees, and pays a tribute of 32,000 rupees by Colonel Walker's settlement ; but the villages are in a wretched state, and the six proprietors descended from Sher Jumma Khan, are in very penurious circumstances. The Talooka is still subject to the gaddee ot Joo- nagurh, and pays a share of the tribute, besides its own. The Rawul, styied also Raja, also Thakoor, of Bhownugur, Vujjee Sing. The revenues of this chief are estimated at 7,40,000 rupees. The Bhownugur district itself, including the sea and land customs, is estimated at 2,00,000 rupees and the Talooks of Gogeh, Burra Sehore, and Oii.ralla, under the Ahmedabad collectorate, are rated at 1,00,000 rupees. The British Government tribute is 75,400 rupees annually, and on account of the Joona- gurh Zcortullubbee 23,400 rupees more. Vujjee Sing is probably the lichest ciiief in the Peninsula, and the greater part of his country is in a flourishing condition. He is about fifty years of age, and a man of piuch talent and energy. He has several children. His elder son resides at the fort of Se- hore. ' The Chief of Bujana, Dhureea Khan, is a Jhut (a tribe of Mahomcdans, supposed to be the earliest converts from Hindooism, and froiu whom the Province of Jutwar derives its name.) Bujana is a very small Talooka, with a revenue rated at 13,000 rupees, of which 5,000 is paid in tribute to the British Government : the town itself however is populous, and situated on the south bank of the Runn. The Chiefs of Cheetul and Jaitpoor, are Kattees of the Khoomaun* tribe. The principal of them are Vikumsee and Mooloo Wala. The tri!)ute paid by Jaitpoor and Cheetul together, to the British Governmenr, is 54,264 rupees, and the Joonagurh ZoortuUabbee is estimated at 3,530 lupees more, annually. The whole revenue is estimated at 1,. 50,000 rupees. The receipts of the Nuwab are 960 Jam Shye Kowries from the customs ;umually, and a fixed share, (being ftlis,) of the produce of what is termed tiie Julpud lands.f The Kattee lands of both Cheetul and Jaitpoor are at present under attachment, on account of the Khoomauu chiefs, for whom the Jaitpoor Kattees are security. Jaitpoor is situated on the Bhadur river, has a good strong and high wall, and contains about 12,000 inhabitants. It was in this place that the refractory Kattee chiefs usually left their families when they went out upon pilla*;ing excursions. The Raja of Durangdra, Oomar Sing, is head of Jhalla Rajpoots. Being entirely given up to devotion, his resources are left in bad hands, and the estate, which comprized in 1809 about 200 villages, has now not more than 100 inhabited. The population is scarcely one third of what it was, from the effects of the famine of 1813, and the incursions of Meyanuas and other free- booters. Thetownof Durangdra, which is in good preservation, and the walls newly built, is situated on a clear stream which falls into the Runn. The revenue is rated at 1,67,900 rupees, and the tribute to the British Govern- ment is 48,909 rupees ; but latterly, on account of the impoverished state of the Talooka, 44,000 rupees only, have been taken, and I rather think, that last year only 40,000 rupees were taken. Seepage 97 of Itinerary, The Zumeendars of Dussara, are Mahomedans, and either bear the title or family name of Mulluk.

It is divided into two large Patties, or shares. The chief proprietors are Mulluk, Adobye Lalmeah, and MuUuk Bawajee Mul- lukbhoy. Colonel Walker, in 1809, settled the tribute of this Talooka at 14,001 rupees, but owing to the poverty of the chiefs, there are considerable arrears, and the Talooka is now under attachment. Of late years there has been scarcely half the produce, and Government, the year before last, made a new settlement remitting 2,000 rupees of the tribute, and 12,001 rupees is now settled for the five years from 1826. The Chief of Goondul, Chunder Singh, has a large district in the division of Hallar : his chief towns are Goondul and Dhorajee, both large and thriving, and the disinct comprizes 179 villages. The chief himself however pays little attention to the affairs of his Government. His revenne may be rated at 2,63,225 rupees and his tribute to the British Government is 53,005 rupees. Dhorajee and Ooplaita are at present under farm to Kun- choorjee Dewan, on account of the debts of the Goondul chief to Nanjee Veerjee, and others. The (JiiiEF OF H UL wiiD is subject to the Durangdra Raja, and pays tri- bute with Durangdra. He has eight villages besides Hulwud.

He was appointed, in succession to his father, about 1808, from Jinjcera, otherwise Dunda-Rajpoor of which Government, Jaf- ferabad is an appendage. It is a walled town of considerable strength, and has five villages subject to it ; the revenues of each however not exceed- ing 500 rupees, and the whole of the revenues of this petty colony, including land and Sea Customs, may not exceed 15,000 rupees. The present qimi had boon the Governor for many years. Vide page 24^ for the Scedee of Jinjeera. The Nuwab of Joonagurh, Buhadar Khan, was placed on the Musnud in 1811, at which time he was about sixteen years of age. From his habits of extravagance, and the ill administration of those who have had the management of his affairs, his country has been rapidly going to ruin, and for the purpose of freeing his Highness from his embarrassments Government have been necessitated to place the administration in the hands of a farmer, Govindjed Jhalla, in 1823. The land revenues are farmed to this person for ten lacks and a half of Kowries, (including his own salary 75,000,) out of which the Nuwab receives 2,40,000 Kories for his maintenance,* and the remainder is set apart for the payment of his Sebundy and creditors. Besides this amount. His Highness has another source of revenue in the Zoortullabbeef or collections from most of the chiefs in Katteeawar paid to him ; this iS farmed at present to Nanjee Veerjee, a Merchant of Poorbunder, at 2,23,000 Kowries. The Mooluck-geeryf collections, which were ceded to the British Government in 1811, realized last year 82,384 rupees. The Joonagurh dynasty originated with Sher Khan Babi,t who during the confu- sion occasioned by the struggles between the Mahratta and iVIoghul for superiority, in the province about 1730, established himself in the Government * The Nuwab had lately an increase I believe, towards his maintenance of 10,000 Kowries a month. f The ZoortuUabbee and Mooluck-geerj, seem to be a similar species of revenue, being a forced settlement upon every village in Katteeawar levied at the head of an army ; the former was established by the Nuwab, the latter at an earlier period I suppose, by the Mah- ratta's Similar to this is the revenue extorted under the head of Ghas Danu, vhich seems to hiv^ commenced with the Feshwa's farm of the Gaekwar's Mahals in Gujerat. Gha?- Danu, iiowever, seems to have been exacted for the benefit ^of Sirdbarsof the Mooluck-geery army, while the Mooluck-geery exactions were for the benefit of the Prince.

The other chief towns are }5untlee, Kesor,Choorwaur, Soodra-Para, Oona-Dilwara, Kootianna, Vaira- wuI-Puttun, &c. Joonagurh is surrounded by a well built wall and rampart thirty feet high, with a ditch at its base exavated out of the rock, and twenty feet deep, — making the height from the bottom of the ditch fifty feet. Tht5 inhabitants are estimated at 30,000 souls. The Chief of Limree, now a minor, is a Rajpoot. The revenues of the Limree Talook are estimated at 1,57,075 rupees; this does not include either what is derived from the Bhyad villages, or those under Ahmedabad. The tribufe payable to the British Government is 51,931 rupees annually. The town of Limree is situated on the banks of the Bogwara river, but fs now a place of no strength, and the walls are fast going to decay : but it is extensive and celebrated for the number of its monied inhabitants. The Talook is divided asfoliows. Thirty-two Durbar villages: thirty-nine under the Bhyad (brothers hood) i. e. under the management of, and for the support of, cadeis of the family : thirty-four under the Ahmedabad collectorate, including Dundooka, Bur wala and Wuddara : the latter pay tribute through the Collector. The Thakoor of Mallia, Suttajee, a Jahrejah Rajpoot. Having lost his facalties from the iniraoderate use of opium his a£fairs are managed by his mother a woman of talent and ability. She exhibits one of the few instances of a Rajpoot lady sitting in Durbar in the presence of Europeans. The residence of the family is at Kokrajee a large village five coss from Mallia, and three from the Runn. The revenue is estimated at ahout 70,000 Kories, or 17,138 rupees, and the tribute to the Gaekwar Government is 1,200 rupees. Mallia has seven villages under it, and three Bhyad villages, the latter pay a fixed sum towards the tribute. The Nuwab of Mangrol, seems formerly to have been dependant upon Joonagurh. The first who assumed the title of Nuwab w as a Kusbatty, but his descendants have retained it. The principality remained independant until the time of Omarjee the Dewan of Joonagurh, who compelled the Kus- batty to cede the villages of Seal, Buggusra, Meyaree and Dewassa, to his master; fixed the Mangrol share of the tribute at 11,000 rupees yearly, which the Joonagurh officers collect : and further to cede the half produce of the remaining forty villages in this Talo^'ca. The Nuwab of Joonagurh has authority to decide in all cases of disputed succession, but no authority in the town of Mangrol itself, nor any share of the customs. The Mangrol produce is estimated at about 1,25,000 Kories, not including either the customs or the town revenues, which amount to about a lack more of Kories. The town of Mangrol is very populous, and the port much frequented by small craft. The Thakoor of Morewee. Jehajee, a Jahrejah Rajpoot, is the princi- pal chief of Muchoo Kaunta. His estate comprizes ninety-seven villages. His revenue is rated at 1,68,641 rupees, and his tribute to the British Govern- ment is 40,001 rupees. His chief towns are Morewee and Tankaria : the latter is at present in the hands of Meiral Bhow a Baroda shroff for debt : it has nine villages under it not included in the Morewee Talook: the estimate of the Tankaria revenues may be about 20,000 rupees annually. Jahreja Jehajee has also several villages in Kutch under him. The Morewee villages are now rather in improving circumstances. The legend says that the ancestor of the present Chief of Morewee, by name Rewajee, who was the eldest sen of Raidhunjee, Rao of Kutch, and should have succeeded to the Gaddee of that country, was murdered about 1685, by his younger brother, Pragjee; and his oft'spring were obliged to fly to Morewee, then a possession in Katteeawar, belonging to the Kutch State, which, at a subsequent period; confirmed the Talook to an ancestor of the present Chief of Morewee's. 64 CHIEFS IN KATTEEAWAR. The Jam of Noanugur, RunmuJjee, is the head of the Jahrejah Raj- poots. He was adopted by the widow of Jam Suttajee, the last chief, wlio died about 1814. The widow continued in the administrnjion of affairs during his minority aided by Jug-Jeewan, a Nagur Bramin, of >ome talent, as her minister. His Government extends over the greater part of iUv province of Hallar, and his revenue is rated at .5,60,000 rupees wheicoi 95,000 rupees is paid in tribute to the Gaekwar Government. Noanugur, the chief town, is the most populous in Katteeawar, is nearly four iriies in iir~ cumference, and is principally celebrated for the beauty and texture of its cloth manufactures. The other principal touns in the Jani^n dominions, are Jooria, Kumbalia, and Sutchana, which are the chief sen ports in Katteeawar in the Gulph of Kutcb, and Balumba a well built town, containing about 1,000 houses, surrounded by a double wall and ditch. The Noanugur country, is at present farmed, on account of \he debts of the Jam to the Jate Soonderjee Sewajee,* for 17,25,000 ICowries annually ; outof whi(h the Jam recdves three lacks for his maintenance, and the rest goes to pay his tribute "and creditors. There are upwards of three hundred villages in this talooka in- cluded in Soonderjee's Farm, which is now held by his sim Soonderjee De.vjee. The Raja of Paulitana is a relation of the Raja of Bhownugur; he is however much in debt, and his counirj' is a^ present mortgaged to a Banyan. Paulitana is a principal place of pilgrimage iu Gujerat. The principal place of worship is on the summit of the Shaitrojee hill the bottom of which is about a mile from the town. The top is covered with temples of various kinds, but the finest is that dedicated to Parisnath, which is elegantly car- ved, the image is of black marble and is always adorned with a great variety of rich clothes and jewels. Most of the other; temples are well carved and the gods are of white marble. The Dessaye of Patree. His estate lies on the northern extremity of Katteeawar. The town was formerly reckoned a place of considerable strength, but is now much in decay. It is surrounded by three separate walls, at the inner of which is a ditch. The revenue is rated at 18,000 rupees, and the fixed tribute to the British Government is 5,652 rupees. The Rana of Poorbunder, Halajee, styled Pritheraj, is a Rajpoot of the Jaitwar tribe: he is head of a petty maritime State called Burruda, or Jaitwar, which is under the immediate protection of the British Government. The estate comprises about 100 villages, including the forts, of Chya, Ranawau and Kun- doorna, and the seaports of Nuvee-Bunder, Mcannee, and Poorbunder. Half the port duties of the latter place, rated at 37,500 rupees, were ceded, in 1808, to the British Government to defray the expense of 100 sepoys and an officer, to be stationed at Poorbunder. These port duties realized 3 1 .230 rupees last year. A tribute of 30,000 rupees is also paid to the Gaekwar. The Rana is a man of little capacity : being joined by a number of profligate associates, he raised a rebellion against his father, about 1810, and established himself in the adjacent fort of Chya, where he was besieged in the following year, by Colonel East's force, which, after sustaining some loss, succeeded in taking him prisoner, when he was delivered over to his father. His country is in a very impover- ished condition: when it was farmed to Soonderjee Sewajee the revenues were estimated at upwards of six lacks of Kovvries. The Thakoor of Rajkot, Soorajee, is a minor ; he has a revenue rated at 34,500 rupees, — his tribute to the British Government was fixed at 20,500 *Tbe late Soonderjee Sewajee was a merchant in Katteeawar, deserving notice for the patriotic manner in which he has applied his great wealth : 1st, To the improvemei t of the country — 2d, In extensive charity, particularly duiing the farniKe in 1812-13, when he ex- pended two or three lacks of rupees ; and 3d, In works tnat will perpetuate his name for son:e time : particularly in the completion cf a road and bridge up the Geernar hill, near Jooiia- gurb, for the use of ptlgrims who visit the temj les on its sun.mit. CHIEFS OP KATTEEAWAR. 55 rupees, but I rather think that only 17,000 rupees is now taken. The Talooka is at present farmed to Runchorjee Dewan, the ex-minister of the Nuwab of Joonagurh. The principal town is Sirdhar, which was formerly the residence of the chief. The Thakoor of Saeela, Alluda Sing. The revenues of his district may be estimated at 35,000 rupees of which 12,000 is paid in tribute to the British Government. In 1809 the Talooka comprised thirty-eight villages but of these seventeen were depopulated by the famine in 1813. The revenue at the first period was estimated at 50,000 rupees, and Colonel Walker settled the tribute at 18,782 rupees. Saeela is a large walled town situated in a open country, and upon a large Tank. Serraw a well built walled town west of it, is the next principal place under this Talook. The Thakoor of Wavkaneer, Dosajee, has a small district comprising villages in Mutchoo Kaunta. He is an old man, and looks olderffrom the effects of eating opium, a practice common to the chiefs in Katteeawar. His revenue in 1809 was assumed at 40,000 rupees, and his tribute fixed at 18,000 rupees. The former is now reckoned 26,000 rupees and the tribute taken is 12.000 rupees. Seepage 99 of the Itinerary, The Raja of Wudwaun, is a minor, and the Government is conducted by the mother of the late Raja, Jhallum Sing, who died last year. The Bhyad villages of this Talooka settle separately for their tribute. There are twenty- eight Durbar villages in this Talooka, all in a high state of cultivation, the finest cotton in Katteeawar is grown in it. The tribute settled by Colonel Walker for Wudwaun was 27,831 rupees the revenue may be estimated at J,00,000 rupees. GOVERNMENT of KUTCH. The Rao of Kutch, is of Rajpoot origin, and is styled the Maha-Raja, Mirza Rao Shri Dessuljee. He was unanimously elected in October, 1819, by the Jarejah chiefs to succeed to the throne of Kutch, in succession to his father Bharmuljee, who was deposed on account of his tyranny and oppression to the Jarejah Bhyad, (brotherhood of chiefs.) During the Rao's minority, the affairs of the Government are transacted by a Regency of six persons, viz. the Jarejah Chiefs, Nonguljee of Kotree, Banjee of Motarah, Chandabycof Nangurcha the Minister Mehtah Luckmadass Wallubjee, (one vacant) and the British Resident for the time being. The Government of Kutch subsidizes a Battalion of Native Infantry with Artillery, for which it pays to the Honorable Company ssven lacks of Kow- ries annually, besides eighty-eight thousand rupees for the rent of Anjar and its Pergunna, which was in the year 1822, re-transferred to the Rao. The military force of the Durbar is very limited, consisting of about three hun- dred horse, and two thousand Sebundy, which are employed principally in the collection of the revenue, and police of the country. A few Arabs are maintained for the defence of the forts of Luckput arid Mandavee. This country had long been the scene of disorder and misrule, and its Gov- ernment being too weak to prevent the constant irruption of Banditti and Freebooters into the Company's Territories, led first to the treaty of Anjar, in 1815, and subsequently to the Subsidiary Treaty of Bhooj, in 1819, which guaranteed the security of his dominions to the Rao, and arranged for the permanent residence of British troops at his capital. Since that period the country has been subjected to many misfortunes ; in 1819 a dreadful earth- quake took place, which destroyed the forts and principal buildings in Kutch and occasioned the loss of many hundreds of lives. In 1823, and the vear 5G GOVERNMENT OF KUTCH. following, the periodical rains failed, wliich occasioned much distress, and the emigralion of a large portion of its population. In 1825, the country was overrun by plunderers from Sinde which ai led to the distress of former years. Since that period Kutch has been better protected, order has been restored, and its population has chiefly iet-»rnod. The revenue of the territories belor^Jng to the Rao of Kutch, may be cal- culated at between twenty-eight and thirty lacks of Kowries, and its expendi- ture exclusive of the Subsidy, at between twelve and fourteen lacks. The remaining portion of the country has been granted away in Jagheers to the Bhyad. or to religious establishments. ^ The soil of Kutch is principally of a sandy description, but it contains extensive tracts of country, such as the plain of Abrassia, and some districts in Wagur, of an extreraeh' rich, and productive nature, and particularly favor- able to the growth of cotton, which may be considered the staple of the pro- vince. It possesses likewise, on its northern boundary, extensive grass lands, which are resorted to by numerous tribes of wandering Rehbaries, .Jhuts, &c. The Jarejah Bhyad of the Abrassia and Wagur acknowledge theHao as their chief, and on a summons from the Durbar are obliged to attend at the camp of the Rao with their retainers, both horse and foot, but during their attendance subsistence is demanded From the chiefs in Wagur only, a Jummabundy or tribute is levied of forty Kowries on each plough of their Ryots, but this arrangement has been subsequently commuted into a fixed tribute, according to a calculation of the number of ploughs in each village in 1819 : the settlement is shewn in the following table. The deposed Rao endeavoured to establish a similar tribute from the rest of his chiefs in other parts of the country, but failed. The following statement shewing the reve- nues of the Kutch State does not include the villages assigned for the main- tenance of the ladies of the Durbar, over which they have the sole sovereignty and management. All disputes amongst the Bhyad are referred to the Durbar at Bhooj for adjustment. LIST OF PERGUNNAS, PORTS, &c. belonging to the RAO of KUTCH, WITH THE REVENUE OF EACH: ALSO THE TOWNS, FORTS, &C.

Colonel Jean Baptiste Filose, an Indo-Neapolitan, formerly comman- ded a division, comprising the greater part of Sindhia's infantry, the most efficient part of his army ; and had a large assignment of territory for their support. Sindhia, in 1817, enticed him to Gwalior, and placed him in close confinement : he was set at liberty in 1825, through the intercession of Gokal Paruk, the chief minister, and he now resides in the Maliratta camp at Gwa- lior without employment. PRINCIPAL OFFICERS at the COURT of HOLKAR.* ( Re-pullished from Colonel Briyg's Genealogy.) MuLHAR Row HoLKAR, the first member of this powerful family, was the son of a shepherd and weaver of camlies in the village of Hole Pergunna, of Phultun, from whence he derives his name. At an early age he enlisted as a horseman in the troops under Amrut Row Kuddum Bhandy and subsequently having raised a small troop of his own, gained distinction under the banners of the Kuddums, which his descendants continue to use, now they have attained to the eminence of Princes. Sir John Malcolm, in his history of Malwa, has supplied all the information required of the exploits of the first Mulhar Row, the administration of his extraordinary daughter-in-law Ehlya Bye, of the character of Tookojee, and of the feats of Yeswunt Row, his illegitimate and youngest son, whose illegitimate offspring, the sole but dis- jointed descendent of the house, now sits on the Musnud at Indoor, and rules over the half of Malwa, yielding a revenue of 25 lacks of rupees.

Most of the seats of their Govern- ment will be found in the Itinerary, The Rao of Kofah, Kishour Singli, styled Blaharao, had (in 1822) a well equipped miiitary force of '0,500, men, with a revenue of 47 lacks of rupees. His tribute to the British Government amounts to 1,00,000 rupees, and to Sindhia, 1,02, ?30 rupees. The Raja himself is but a pageant, the hereditary Devvan, Madho Singh, (son of the late Zalim Singh) being chief de facto. Thetown of Kotah and its original lands, are principally situated in the province of Harowtee. The Nuwab of Bhopal, Nuzur Mahomed Khan, has a territory capable of realizing a revenue of 20 lacks of rupees, and keeps up a military force of 2,000 horse, and 4,000 infantry, including the contingent of 600 horse, and 400 intantry, to be furnished at the requisition of the British Government.

His Jagheer comprises the districts of Sunjeet, ^Miilharghur, Tal, Mundawur, Jowra, and Barrode, which are computed to jieJd to him a revenue of about seven lacks of rupees per aniium. His con- tingent consists of 600 well-mounted cavalry, also 500 infantry, and four guns, with their complement of Golundauz, which is to be employed on the requisition of the British Government. Ghuifoor Khan owed his first eleva- tion to his connexion with Ameer Khan, who, in 1808, caused the Holkar regency to confer a Jaedad upon him, the continuance of which is guaranteed to him by the Treaty of Mundisoor. The Rawul of Bansvvara,* Bhowanee Singh, is of the same stock as the Oodeepoor family.

The Raja of Ally, commonly called Allee-Mohun, has a revenue rated at 4.5,000 rupees, including the Sayer, rated at 20,000 rupees, which belongs to the British Government, but which relinquishes it to the Raja to enable him to maintain fifty men for the security of the road between Ally and Dhar. The Amjherra Chief, Ajeet Singh, a Rhattore Rajpoot, has a territory which should realize 1,00,000 rupees, but he pays a fixed tribute of 35,000 rupees yearly to Sindhia, guaranteed by the British Government. The Raja of Rutlam, Bulwunt Singh, is son of the late Purbut Singh. His revenue is assumed at 5,50,000 rupees, of which 84,000 rupees is paid in tribute to Sindhia. He has no military establishment, but on occasions of emergency, the dependent chiefs of his family, who held Jagheers of him on feudal tenures, arm their adherents and form his military force. The Raja of Seeta-Mhow, has a revenue rated at 1,20,000 rupees, of which he pays 60,000 in tribute to Sindhia, and has a military establishment •of 90O men. The Rana of Soonth, has a revenue of about 70,000 and pays 7,000 rupees, in tribute to Sindhia : his Zumeendars, principally Bheels, furnish each a contingent of troops when required. The Raja of Loonawara. This chief is of an ancient family. In 1739 ^n ancestor, then styled only Zumeendar, it appears paid a tribute of 3,000 rupees, together with the customary presents, to the royal authorities in Gujerat. In 17.58, Deep Singh, his successor, was besieged by the Peshwa's troops, and after an honorable defence of his fort, he was obliged to pay down 51,000 rupees and give hostages for good behaviour. This petty state is now tributary to Sindhia, and pays a fixed tribute of 12,000 rupees. The revenue is rated at 80,000 rupees. The Raja of Seylana, pays 42,000 rupees in fixed tribute to Sindhia. His revenue is rated at 1,20,000 rupees. He has no regular military force, but the Rajpoot Chiefs of his family, who hold their lands of him on feudal tenures, arm when required.

The Chief of Gagoorney, Rugonath Singh; is a Rathore Rajpoot, and the descendant of a family who are said to have once ruled over the two dis- tricts of Zeerapoor and Machiipoor. The present possession of the family comprises only 20 villages. It is a dependency of the Holkar State, to which it pays a yearly tribute of 1,500 rupees. The Chiefs of Oomutavarra. This province takes its name from two Chiefs of the Oomut class of Rajpoots. They established their dominion over great part of Malwa during the decline of the Moghul empire, but were con- fined to their present limits by the Mahrattas. Newul Singh, styled Rawut or chief, resides at Rajghur, and Hunmunt Singh, styled Dewan or Minister, at Nursing-ghur. They are of the same family, and deduce their genealogies from brothers, between whom the territory was equally divided, not into dis- tinct tracts of country, but by each taking the alternate village. The country contains about 800 villages, and at present produces from four to five lacks of rupees. The Rawut is tributary to Sindhia, and the Dewan to Holkar. The amount of tribute from each is 85,000 rupees, that of the Rawut hov/ever has been commuted, in 1819, for territory ceded. The Rawut besides pays 1,050 rupees to the Raja of Kola. They continue to receive a Tanka (rent or fee) from some of the districts formerly in their possession. The Nuwab of Koorwyee, Ukhber Khan, is the third in descent from Nuwab Duleel Khan, the founder of the principality. The district contains now only 92 villages, yielding a revenue of from twenty to twenty-five thou- sand rupees. The family are Afghans, and established themselves in this part of Malwa during, or shortly after, the reign of Aurungzeeb. Koorwyee lies east from Seronj. The Nuwab of Mahomudghur-Basowda, Assud Ali Khan, has a small territory of 17 villages, yielding live or six thousand rupees. He is a branch of the Koorwyee family. Basowda lies to the east of Bhilsa. The Nuwab of Mahomudghur, Ahmud Koolce Khan. This possession contains 22 villages, producing six or seven thousand rupees of annual reve- nue. The chief is of the same stock as the Koorwyee chief, and nearly re- lated to Ussud Ali Khan, of Basowda. Mahomudghur adjoins Basowda. The Raja of Mukraee, Devi Sah. This chief is a Gond, whose ances- tors, in former days, are said to have held the Punj-Muhals of Hurda and Hindia, till they were taken possession of, first by the Moghul, and latterly by the Mahratta. A tract containing 45 villages, is all that is now left to the family. This State was a dependency of the late Peshwa, and, conse- quently is now one of the British Government. The Chief of Muxoodenghur, Bhyree Saul, stuled Raja Bahadoor, Muxoodenghur is all that remains of the conquests made by the late Doorjun Saul, whom the present chief succeeded. He is descended from an elder branch of the family of the present Raja of Ragooghur. He belongs to the Khychee class of Rajpoots, from whom the tract called Khycheewara takes its name. The district under Muxoodenghur contains about 60 villages, but produces a revenue of only five or six thousand rupees.

Chiittur Saul is a Powav Rajpoot, son of Nirbhee Singh, who, during the period of anarchy, headed four or five hundred horse, and subsisted them by plunder. The Raja of Sheopoor. The legend of this family traces its descent from one of six brothers, from Adjeegurh, who lived about the year of the Hejra 590. Two of these fell in battle, three became Rajas, of Ajimeer, Harow- tee, and Nagore, respectively, and the fourth surviving brother, a Jagheerdar of twenty villages. The descendant of the Raja of Ajimeer, Jogaee Raja, became involved with the Emperor Jehangeer, and died a fugitive in the wilds of Lukhairee. His son, Gopal Rao, became, for a time, a leader of freeboo- ters, but having afterwards, in the service of Shah Jehan, taken Asseergurh, he was appointed to the command of it. Gopal Rao, together with his son, fell in battle near Tutha (Sinde) and his brother, Wittul Dass, who had re- mained as his deputy at Asseer, had districts in Malwa, including fifty forti- fied places, conferred upon him. Wittul Dass divided this territory between liis two sons, Inder Singh, and Arzoon Singh. The first had Shahabad &c. and the second Sheopoor, &c. and hence the origin of this family. The le- j^end enumerates a long line of heroes, but it may be sufficient to say that they are of the Gour tribe of Rajpoots, and that the present Raja holds a.Jagheer irom Sindhia's Government, valued at 40,000 rupees, being a part of his former territory, and resides at Gwalior, within the Residency limits. Sheopoor is situated S. W. from Gwalior, 120 or 130 miles j e^nd was the head quarters of Jean Baptiste, in the days of his prosperity. CtilEFS IN JHANSI AND BUNDELCUN0. The Soobehdar of Jhansi, Rao Ramchundur Hurry. Hurry Daniodhur the great grandfather of the present Soobehdar, and his brother Sudasew Damodhur, had each command of a small party of horse in the service of the Nizam. They afterwards entered the service of the Peshwa Bajee Rao i3ul- lal, who conferred upon them, in enam, Parola, and other villages in Khandes, rated at 7,238 rupees, which the family still hold. On Raja Bahadur* being recalled, by tlie Peshwa, from Jhansi, Hurry Damodhur was sent to succeed him as Soobehdar. His son Shew Rao Hurry, styled Bhow, rendered himself in some measure independent, by ceasing to send his accounts, or any portion of the collections, to Poona, after the decease of the Peshwa, Sewai Madhoo Rao, in 1797. Shew Rao entered into a treaty in 1804 with the British Gov- ernment, when he acknowledged himself one of the Peshwa's feudatories. He had three sons, but the eldest, who was father to the present Soobehdar, died during his father's lifetime. When Jhansi was first ceded to the Mah- rattas by the Raja Chuttur Saul, the revenues, rated at 24,00,000 rupees, were allotted as follows : — To Sindhia, districts in Jagheer, rated at Rs. 14,61,361 To Holkar, Lands in Enam, supposed to yield .... .... 98,956 To Raja Bahadur,* Trimbuk Rao, Jagheers, being the Pergunna of Mote, (now under sequestration or mortgage) 2,35,192 Assigned to the Deo of Chinchoor, near Poona, and, I believe, still continued 10,688 Total amount of Alienations 18,06,197 Remaining in management of the Soobehdar, for the Peshwa .... 6,36,782 The Peshwa's rights (rated as above, at 6,36,782,) over the estate of Jhansi, were transferred to the British Government, by Treaty, in June, 1817 ; but in * g!ee pag^e 13.

The Chief of Saugor, Kalpee, and Jaloun, Nana Govind Rao. With the first acquisition of territory in Bundelcund (properly Boondelkhund,) by the Mahrattas, a story, perhaps an idle one, is connected. It is said that Chut- tur Saul (who I suppose to have been a descendant of a powerful Zumeendar in the province of either Gurah or Mundela, of the name of Lodi,) served as a bargeer in the army of the Raja Sahoo, and having had a sword conferred on him by his Prince, in acknowledgement of some distinguished service, he declared that with it he would acquire dominion. He after- wards went into Boondelkhund, of the whole of which he gradually pos- sessed himself, A quarrel with the neighbouring powerful Prince of Furrukabad, obliged him to call in the aid of the Mahrattas, which being timely afforded, turned the sca!e of victory. ChatturSaul, in gratitude, adop- ted the Peshwa, Bajee Rao BuUal, as a son, and conferred upon him, at his death, in 1733, an equal share of his possessions with his other two sons. Be- sides Jhansi, the Peshwa's share of Boondelkhuiid rated at 20,00,000 rupees r£alized, in 1779, 16,40,935 rupee?, "^ at which time Baloojee Govind Rao, son of Govind Bullal, the first Soobehdar, was in charge. Govind Bullal, the first Soobehdar of Saugor, was killed in action, when transporting the revenue of his Government to the army at Paniput, in 1760, He had two sons, Baiajee Govind Rao and Gungather Punt. The Peshwa confirmed the first in pos- session of Saugor and other districts ; and the latter, v. ho was grand-father to Nana Govind Rao, was put in possession of Jaloun, which has been con- firmed to him in perpetuity by the British Gcvernment, having fallen under our direct authority by the Treaty with the Peshwa, in June, 1817. The district of Saugor is now under the administration of the British Governmen', and from the revenues, assumed at 6,98,000 rupees, a sum of 2^ lacks is assigned as a provision for the maintenance of Seeta Baee, the widow of the son of Ba- loojee Govind Rao, the last Raja, and also to maintain Venaik Rao, the former manager : and whenever the assumed estimate is realized, a stipend of 1,18,360 rupees is payable to Nana Govind Rao of Jaloun. ^ The Raja of Ourchar, MoonhurDhurmpaul.

The twentieth Raja, Buldeo Rukh, founded the place called Pruyag: in Allahabad, and his son, Indradumun, built the celebrated temples of Juggernath. It is from Rant Singh, the second son of the 32d Raja, that the Burgoozur Rajpoots derive their origin. The 34th Raja, Kurmshya, conquered the province of Benares. Kemkurn, the second son of the 46th Raja, having, together with a person named Mulsa, performed some religious austerities on the summit of Hinda- Chul, succeeded in propitiatuig Bedraosheney, the tutelary Devce of the mountain, with her permission, proceeded against, and overcame, Khan Jehan Khan Lodi, Raja of Jukumpoor, where they reigned 69 years. The 60th Raja, Prutab-Roodra, built the fort of Ourchar, for his son Bharteechund, who succeeded him. Mudkur^ the 62d Raja, reigned in the time of Akber. His eldest son, Ramasa, succeeded to the throne of Ayodya, while the younger son, Nursingh Deo, was confirmed by Jehangeer in Ourchar, and the district of Chunderee was given to Ramasa, as an equivalent. Nursingh Deo "had twelve sons, the third son, Pahar Singh, accompanied the Emperor Aurung- zeeb to Aurangabad, and founded a Poora, or Suburb, which now bears his name. With Bhugwandass, the fourth son, originated the tribe of Koorers. The 69th Raja, was Owdhoot Singh, adopted from the family of the Raja of Hurdwar, and the present Raja, who succeeded his father about 1817, is No. 72. The Raja of Ourchar is considered as the head of the Boondely tribes, and all the other Rajas receive their investiture from him. His chief town is about eight miles from Jhansi, and his revenue, at present, does not exceed a. lack of rupees. I should have been ff lad could I have given a fuller account of the Chiefs in JBundelcund, or those holding posessions on its frontier. The Boondely chiefs are perhaps the most ancient in India^ and a careful comparison of their legends, with those of other tribes and nations, who have had intercourse with them, should furnish something of value to the historian ; the Soobehdar of Jhansi, and Chiefs of Saugor, and Kalpee, are but of modern date. The principal chiefs of the ancient family, who have been received under British protection, are^ the Itaja of Sumpter, who, by his engagement, furnishes a contingent of horse ivhen required. The Itaja of Dutteeah, with whom similar engagements exist, viz. Protection on the one side, dependence^ fidelity, and co operation on the other., The Raja of Gurah-Kota, has been rcsiored to part of his possessions, but mrtuaUy reduced to the rank of a Zumeendar. The Rajas of JRewah, of Tehree, and many others, names arid style unknown to me, are in like manner guaranteed in their possessions by the British Government.

Her High- ness Buka Baee, widow of the late Rughoojee, was at the same time appoint- ed Regent. This branch of the Bhonslays affirm, that they owe their origin to the Patels of Hingun-Berdee,* near Poona, and Dewoor, near Satara. The story, of their emerging from obscurity, is as follows : Pursojee Bhons- lay, Soobehdar of Berar, about the beginning of the nineteenth century, had a nephew, Rughoojee, who served under him with four horse, but of whose remarkable talents he became jealous ; Rughoojee in consequence deserted ; plundered some villages on his route ; and, collecting a party of about 100 ^. , , ■> . ■ ... » See page 20. UNDER THE NAG POOR STAIS. ^ 69 horse, entered the service of the Raja, Cliand Sooltan, the brother of Biikht Boolund, Raja of Deognrh, and then ruler in Gondwana : these Kajas, had heen converted to Mahomed anism. About this time a Sahookar, by name Put- wurdhun, onhis way from Benares to the Deccan, had heavy transit duties levi • ed upon his merchandize, by the Gond Raja, and Pursojee declined his inter- ference to get it remitted. It happened that Pursojee's tribute, 3,00,000 rupees annually, had not been sent to Poona for sixteen years, and the Peshwa was preparing to enforce it, when Putwurdhun suggested, that a member of the same family should supersede him. Rughoojee was, therefore, sent for to Poona, and received the investiture of Soobehdar : Putwurdhun became his security for the payment of tfie arrears of tribute, rated at fifty lacks, and Rughoojee engaged to subdue the Gond Raja. Rughoojee took his uncle prisoner and he was sent to be confined at Satara. The Gond Raja, Buklit Boolund, having died without issue, an illegitimate son of Chand Sultan, named Meer Buhadocr, usurped the Government in Gondwana ; tiiough three legitimate sons were living, viz. : Boorahan Shah, Akber Shah, and Wulee Shah. The latter had been put to death by the usurper, and his mo- ther called upon Rughoojee to avenge it, at a time that the -crafty Mahratta was assembling troops to invade GondAvana, in pursuance of his engagement with Putwurdhun, who had provided funds for the payment of 10,000 horse. Rughoojee invaded the province, and encountered Meer Buhadoor ; but botb- armies drew off ; and Meer Buhadoor was, afterwards, seduced by his oppo- nent to an interview, and treacherously put to death : the victor restored the- other brothers ; and, having received Pownec, Brimapooree, &c. in Jagheer, returned to Berar A domestic quarrel shortly after happened, and Akber Shah wounded his elder brother, and made him prisoner ; when the confined prince entreated Rughoojee, again to enter the province : on his arrival at Brimapooree, Akber Shah met him, with an army of 15,000 men ; of these, 12,000 were detached, by Rughoojee's contrivance, when he surprized, and dispersed, the remaining 3,000 men. Akber Shah fled, with about 100 horse ; but he was overtaken, near Deogurh, and his followers being then finally dispersed, he reached Aurungabad, a solitary fugitive ; and was sent, by Nazir Jung, to his father's court, at Hydrabad. Nizam-ooUMoolk was^ preparing to espouse his cause, when Akber Shah died, in 1745 ; and Rughoo- jee, from this date, became undisputed Raja of Gondwana. About this time he received the title of Sena-Sahib-Soobah. He ruled seventeen years ; and died in 1753, leaving four sons : Janoojee and Sabajee, the elder, were by his younger wife ; and Beembajee and Moodajee, by his first wife. He divided his territory between them. To Janoojee* was left the supremacy, with the title of Sena-Sahib-Soobah, and Dcogurh was assigned to him : he reigned about twenty years, and died ; having adopted Bapoo Sahib, other* wise Rughoojee, the eldest son of his brother, Moodajee ; who was afterwards confirmed, as Sena-Sahib-Soobah. Sabajee had Berar assigned to Mm ; Beembajee had Chuteesgurh ; and Moodajee had Chundunpooree. Dureea Baec, the widow of Janoojee, officiated as regent, with Sabajee's assistance, during the minority of Bapoo Sahib. Moodajee, conceiving that he had best right to the office of guardian to his own son, collected troops, and gave battle to Sabajee, at Pachgaom, near Nagpoor, on 27th January, 1775, and was defeated : the victor approached his brother, and was in the act of uttering some consolatory expressions, when Moodajee drew a pistol, and shot him through the head : Moodajee, by this act of atrocity, became guardian of his child, and ruler in Gondwana. He died in 1788, and his son Rughoojee, the Sena-Sahib-Soobah, succeeded. The younger sons of Moodajee, viz. : Chim- na Bapoo, and Venkojec Munya Bapoo, otherwise Khundojee Bhonslay, * Of Janoojee, the most remarkable pcrsQnagc of this race, I have said nothing, as his his- tory is so fully given in Grant Duff's History, a book which every officer in the Honorable Company's Sernce should read. 70 CHIEFS, AND PRINCIPAL OFFICERS. had Chundunpoor assigned to tliem, in Jagbeer. The Sena-Saliib-Soobah sent his contingent, of/ 10,000 horse, to join the Peshwa, in the war against Tippoo, and his brothers accompanied it. Chimna Bapoo greatly distinguish- ed himself at the siege of Sadauiy,in 1786; and it is said, that in the last assault, the greater part of his division were amongst the slain : he had the title of Sena-Buhadoor, with presents in Jewels, rated atone lack of rupees, conferred upon him, on his return to Nagpoor : the Raja, however, became jealous of him, and fearing equally, to allow him to conduct the re-inforce- ments, or accompany them himself, and leave his brother behind at Nagpoor, lie purchased the absence of his contingent, by paying a contribution of 10,00,000 rupees towards the war. The Raja is said to have used incantations, for the destruction of Chimna Bapoo, who died in 1795. Rughoojee reigned forty years, and died in 1816. He was succeeded by his son, Baila Raja, otherwise Pursojee, who was blind, and reputed (as usual in such cases) to be the victim of witchcraft. He was murdered in 1817, by Appa Sahib, his cousin-german, the son of Munya Bapoo, who ascended the Gaddee. After a short reign, remarkable for repeated perfidy towards the British Government, he was arrested, but escaped irom his escort, on the way to Allahabad, which had been flxed upon as the place of his confinement ; he is now a fugitive, forgotten, and friendless. He was, by the latest accounts, residing in privacy at Lahore, upon a scanty allowance from Runjeet Singli^ The revenue of the Nagpoor State is rated at 40,00,000 rupees, exclusive of the revenue of the territories alienated for the payment of the Subsidiary Force. The military establishment consists of two regiments of infantry, clothed and disciciined in every respect like the Company's regular sepoys, and 3,000 irregular horse, the whole commanded by British officers. This is exclusive of ga^-risons to forts, and the Sebundy employed upon revenue and police duties. ACCOUNT* ofGURAH, MUNDELA and other DISTRICTS situated TOWARDS THE SOURCE OF THE NERBUDDA, AT PRESENT INCLUDED IN THE MODERN DIVISION of BUNDELCUND and NAGPOOR STATE. About the end of the sixteenth century the province of Gurh, or Gurah, and Mundela, was held by a number of independent Zumeendars, who each governed within their own limits. One of the family of Lodi,t named Dul- put Shah, seems to have been the greatest among these Zumeendars, and to have been looked up to as chief in the province. He died in A. D. 1585, and was succeeded, in his influence, by his widow Doorgawutee, who, in 1600, being defeated by the emperor's forces, stabbed herself, leaving the province in possession of the royal authorities. Adhur Thakoor, a Kaet, then minis- ter, on this went to Delhi, and obtained the investiture for Chunder Shah, * Why should any original historical notice of a newly acquired country, and of which but little is known, stand a chance of being consigned to oblivion in some one of the bundles of papers which my heirs may one day direct to be sold by weight in the bazar. This account of the provinces of Bundelcund, Gurah, Muiidela, &c. supposed lo have formed, formerly the dominion of Raja Chutter Saul, exhibits an alienation successively of district after ^district from his posterity, till the last of his descendants was subdued by the Bhonslay pf Nagpoor, — thrown into confinement, and his remaining possessions annexed to the Nagpoor atate. Many of these districts, now denominated the Saugor and Nerbudda territories, form part of the acquisitions of the Honorable Company, arising out of the events of the war of 1817-lft ; and the rest are held by the descendants of the ancient possessor who are attached to the British interests under the usual engagements, viz. protection against enemies, on the condition of paying tribute, or furnishing a contingent to be employed m subordinate co- cperaiion with the British troops. t This family seems, from the name, (o be Hindoo, whether therefore, Khan Jchan Lodi, v.'ho was governor of the Moghul possessions in the Deccan, and afterward* m Mahva, about tha beginning of the seventeenth century, is connected with it, is doubtful. Many of the Hindoo Princes seemj about this period, to have become converts to Mahomedanism, ACCOUNT OF GURAH, MUNDELA, &C. 7i the brother of the deceased Dulput Shah, but as a Nuzur he transferred threfe districts, viz. The Pergunna and Fort of Dhamoree with 350 villages tinder it, now included in the division of Bundelcund, rated at 1,00,000 rupees : Kalli-Bhet and Mukrae, rated together, at 2,00,000 rupees : and the Pergunna of Karobag, comprising 700 villages, which was afterwards con- ferred upon Mahadjee Sindhia by the Emperor, in 1789, with the Vizarut of the empire. Chunder Shah, was, it is said, murdered by his own son, Mudhookur Shah, who ruled until 1614 when he died of leprosy. He was succeeded by his son Prem Narraen, who reighed nineteen years, until Beer- singh Deo, and Hursingh Deo, the Boondelly Rajas of Dutteeah, invaded his country, and having seduced him to an interview, treacherously put him to death in 1633, and usurped, for a time, the Government of the province. Hurdesa, the son of Prem Narraen, was at Delhi at the time of his father's murder, but returned home on hearing of it, and concealing himself in the jungle, was joined by many of the Zumeendars, and, with their aid ejected the usurpers. He reigned until 1659 when he died, and was succeeded by his son Chuttur Saal, who died in 1671. His son Keshury Shah then succeed- ed and reigned six years, when he was murdered by his half brother, Hurbunus, when out hunting, supposed at the instigation of Pahar Singh, their cousin, who came from Delhi, says the legend, for this purpose. In 1677, Neerun- shah, the son of the deceased, a boy seven years of age, was placed upon the Gaddee, but the conspirators, Pahar Singh and Hurbunus, having collected an army, the young prince took refuge with Bukht Boolund, the Raja of Deo - gurh, who espoused his cause, defeated the conspirators, and Pahar Singli having fallen in the battle, Neerunshah was restored to his Government, and conferred the districts of Chahooree-Seonee and Chuppura, rated toge- ther at 1,00,000 rupees, upon Bukht Boolund. In 1742 the Bhonslay subdued all the Raja of Deogurh's territories except these two named districts. la 1767 Janoojee Bhonslay proceeded to Poona, when Mujid Khan, a Patan, one of his most distinguished officers, accompanied him. The Peshwa, for what purpose does not appear, seduced Janoojee to the palace, where he determined to keep him in durance. On this Mujid Khan, under pretence of demanding their arrears of pay, went to the palace, with about 100 of hi*? followers, and having obtained access to Janoojee, in a mutinous and tumultu- ous manner, seizing his hand, dragged him forth from the intended place of his confinement, declaring that he must first discharge the arrears due to his troops. By this stratagem he was carried to camp, and afterwards escaped to Nagpoor. Mujid Khan, for this service, had the two aforenamed districts conferred upon him, on condition of his subduing them, and his descendants now hold great part of the Chuppara district, in Jagheer,* under the British Government, to whom these districts were ceded in 1818. Juggot Rae, son of the famous Chuttur Saul, took the following Pergunnas from Neerunshah, viz. Saugor, Billeroo, Runoly, Tuyano, and Dummode, together rated at a revenue of 2,05,000 rupees, which were afterwards given with Kalpee, and other districts, to the Peshwa, by Chuttur Saul. Five more Pergunnas, viz. Burdee, Mopal, Goonurgurh, Raisseen, and Bairsceah, together rated at 7,00,000 of rupees, appear about this time to have been alienated by the Peshwa from this dominion, and to have fallen into the hands of Mahomed Hyat Khan Rohilla, one of the Peshwa's officers, who assassinated Chynshah, then in charge.f Raja Neerunshah died in 1730, and was succeeded by his son, Maharaj Shah, who was killed at the assault of Mundela by the Mahrattas, in 1742. The Peshwa, Nana Saliib, then con- firmed Seoraj, the son of the deceased Raja, as his successor, exacting a Nuzur of 1,00,000 rupees on his installation, and fixing an annual tribute of 3,00,000 rupees, which was assigned to Rughoojee Bhonslay in Jagheer. * I am uncertain whether this Jagheer has ilot lapsed to the British Government, by the decease of the grandson of Mujid Khan without heirs. + Original Mahratta Maouscripts are sometimes obscure, bat a translator must suflFer his author to express himself m hi« own way, or ran the risk of substituting, unintentionaiU', something of his own. 72 ACCOUNT OP GURAH, MUNDELA, &C. This prince died in 1749, and was succeeded by his brother Nizam Shah, who transferred the Pergunnas of Deoree, Punagurh. Gourjamur and Meettee ; together 1,200 villages, and rated at three lacks of rupees, to the Mahrattas, in lieu of the chouth or tribute. In 1779, Khundoojee Bhonslay, surnamed Chimna Bappoo, on his route to invade Orissa, deprived Nizam Shah of the Pergunnas of Kunjee, Khyrogurgh, Kurrola and Khurowgurh, comprising, in all, 1,400 villages, and rated together at 6,00,000 rupees. He reigned 27 years, and dying without issue, was succeeded by his nephew, Nurhar Shah, who held the remaining twenty-seven Pergunnas about two years, when he was dispossessed of them by the Peshwa^s Generals Lukshmun Rao, surnamed Boondely, and his deputy Moropunt, surnamed Mundely. The circumstance which led to the final subversion of Nurhar Shah's Government was as follows. Lukshmun Rao, with Moropunt and Veesajee Punt under him, had been put in charge of the Mahratta possessions north of the Nerbudda, by the Peshwa. But the former had become jealous of his colleague and deputy Moropunt, who was renowned for his skill and bravery, and ha^ him thrown into confinement, from whicli he escaped. Lukshmun Rao shortly after discovered a conspiracy against him among the Zumeendars, headed by Nurhar Shah, when Moropunt seasonably presented himself with assurances of fidelity. They then assembled a force, overturned the Government of Nurhar Shah, threw him into confinement, and annexed the province of Gurah-Mundel, and the other districts belonging to that prince, together twenty-seven Pergunnas, with a revenue rated at 15,02,905 rupees, to the Mahratta possessions in 1778. These districts were held by them till 1793, when the Peshwa, agreeably to a promise given some years before, conferred them upon Khundoojee Bhonslay, in reward for his services at the capture of Badamee in 1786. The Bhonslay appears at this time to have had a well equipped force of 11,000 men, under leaders of experience, which after the battle of Kurdla, he employed in wresting the above districts, for which he had obtained sunnuds, from the possession of Lukshmun Rao and Moropunt. The latter, who was a brave and active officer, was encountered and defeated in two battles, when the whole of the twenty-seven Mahals of Gurah and Mundela, above mentioned, fell under the Nagpoor State. Eleven of these Mahals lay to the south of the Nerbudda, and were rated at 6,73,750 rupees ; and 16 north of the river, rated at 8,29,155 rupees. Moropunt died of a disease called Patea, and Lukshman Rao a natural death, Radhabaee, the widow of the latter, and their son Venaik Rao, were permitted to retain four forts on the Nerbudda, viz. Dhamoree :* Chowragurh : Mundel : and Tez- gurh, of which the two former afterward held out against the British troops in 1818. Bapoo Sahib, on obtaining possession, gave the Soobeh of Gurah to his relation Nana Ghatgay : that of Shrecnugur to one of his Mootusud- dees, Mahadjee Punt Mukhlasee, and the Soobeh of Seeonee-Hoosingabad was bestowed upon the Nuwab Sidum Ali Khan. In 1809 Meer Khan advanced to Chowragurh, whicli induced Venaik Rao to call upon the Bhons- lay for assistance, and Mahadjee Punt marched in consequence from Shrec- nugur. On Meer Khan's retreat, possession was taken of Venaik Rao'sf four forts and a fixed sum assigned to him in lieu. Nana Ghatgay died in 1810, having raised Jubbulpoor from a small village into a populous and thriving town, and it is now the modern capital of the province. Jeejaba GhatgayJ succeeded his father and managed during two years. He was superseded by Ramjee Tatia, a deputy of HurbajeePunt Kuturny, who had charge of tlic Soobeh in 1818, when events transferred it to the Honorable Company. Ram- jee Tatia is now at Nagpoor, employed as Dewan to Her Highness the Regent Buka Baee. * I am uncertain whether this is Dhamoree or Dhamonee. i Venaik Rao has been provided for in the settlement with ihe Chief of Saug-or ; see page G7. t This chief now resides at Kolapoor, vilh the Raja of which his fnhnly is connecledby marriage, and under which Governmer.t he holds a Jagheer, r.ited at 8,000 rupees. He is not related, liowever, to the KaguUair Ghatgay, SECTION II. ROUTES, &c, INDEX TO THE ROUTES. Stations. From Mandavee. Bhooj Baroda..., Gambay. . Tankaria Bunder. Baroda... Kaira. Routes.

The Road from Baroda to Meagam is of a similar description with the exception of the bldck soil intervening in a trifling de- gree in one or two places. From Jumboosur to Tunkaree Bun- der, aud all the southward of these places and Meagam, through the A-| mode and Broach Pergunnas, to the north bank of the Nerbudda River, the soil changes to rich black mould, and a few hours heavy rain rendeni the roads quite impassable for carts. 207 2 8a M.

Northern KoNKAN : > (Signed) J. B. SIMSON, ZiLLAH Magistrate Office, > Zilla Magistrate^ 23d October, 1827. J %* The Hire of a Cart with two bullocks from Panwell to Poena is 8 rupees : this includes the expense of taking the Cart-load to the top of the Ghat, by men, which usually costs about two rupees. Return Camels are sometimes met with at Panwell, but the Rate of Hire depends upon the wants of the parties. It is useful to the traveller, and certainly only humane to the ferry- men, at Poonowla and Ound, to apprize the former, that the latter have no monthly pay, and that they depend for subsistence, principally, upon such of their fellow creatures, more fortunate in that respect, whom they convey across in their boat. It is only during the rains, that these rivers are not fordable, and there are but two ferries on the direct road between Panwell and Poena. Gentlemen going to Poona, will never be refused a passage over, though they may not have money upon their persons, but it should not be forgotten that some one of the Boatmen has to trudge all the way to Poena to obtain their dues when they are not paid at the ferry. The amount is but trifling ; i rupee for a Palankeen and Bearers : i rupee for a horse : and 2 pice for each individual. SECTION IV. WEIGHTS AND IVIEASURES IN WESTERN INDIA. EXPLANATION. *** Candy and Maund have already become part of our lan- guage, it is too late therefore to restore them to their proper form of Khundee and Mun ; — willing to accommodate myself to the European and Native I have written the first Khandy. Rutl, used to express an English pound, is, I ima>gine, the Rottolo of Italy and the Levant, I have omitted the Itinerary Measures of India in the following pages f as m^ore curious than useful. There is also a measure, or mode of calculation, in use among Shawl Merchants, who mark all clothes of value, especially shawls, by numbers, and sell, or buy, at so many annas per lack. A little knowledge of these rates, might save my fair friends, occasional- ly^ from imposition, and trouble, and should another edition of this publication ever be called for, I may then be more able to give an account of both the Shawl manufacture and traffic* SECTION IV. WEIGHTS ANii MEASURES. Throughout India, and particularly the Deccan, a very considerable diver** sity prevails, not merely in every district, but in every \illage, in Measures, whether of Weight, Length, or Capacity; nor wre the subdivisions to be foun^ in a determinate propoilion to each other. To whatever this may be owing, vi^hether t») ihe want of a c»»mmon, or universal standard in former times, the decay, or abrasion of the measures and weights, the knavei7 of the owners of them, or to the apathy or connivance of the native district authorities, isproba- bly immaterial, but the present ill- defined system must lie felt by all the class of bujeis as a hardship, and thej, doubtless, would be grateful for any benefi- cial arjiendment. There are three kinds of Weights in use in India; the first are for weighing, drugs, gold, silver, &c the second for all bulky articles, — and the third for pearls and precious stones. Those of the first class seem to be founded on the weight of a tola through- out India, and the tola, under most Governments, seems to conform with the rupee, or principal Current Coin of Account. In towns the weights generally are of iron or lead, sometimes in a determinate form, but oftener as a shapeless mass. In many villages however, the shopkeepers have only basalt stones as weights, which are mtt with in beds ol rivers. Indeed when great weights are required they are generally made of stones, and under any circumstance considerable advantage would be derived by the people were the use of stones as weights prohibited under severe enactments. The Table of Weight an- nexed, will shew the great variety of the first class, (and its corresponding English Weight) which exists throughout Western and Central India. Nor are the weights, at the Presidency less multifarious, than they are in the interior. In the following Table of the various weights, by which goods are sold in Bombay, it will strike one as a singular incongruity, that, varying as those weights do with almost every variety of goods, and that, serving as such must, to clog conmierce, this system should be submitted to, when the fact is known, that actually every article* is weighed by one Weight, viz. The Eng- lish AvoiRDUPoiDS, and afterwards reduced, by calculation, into the great variety of local Weights, vvhich are merely nominal. How much would it facilitate commercial operations, were the English Weights, the only ones actually in use, substituted for these local ones, that exist but in a name, and what an advantage would surh afford the stranger in readily comprehending at once the value of goods, and simplifyini;: his calcula- tions. It is most difficult to overcome native prejudices in favour of customs, they have, for generations, been familiar with, yet might nrt firmness on the part of the European Mercantile community in Bombay effect a change. We have an instance of the failure of such, however, in the attempt to alter the custom, when stiles are made by a per centage on the Invoice,* of valuing * This circumstance is not g^enerally known to gentlemen at Out-Stations, who receive for reply, from the Bombay Shopkeeper, when coniplaining of his extravagnnt prices, " What can do, Master ? —Give Mercfiant so large per cent on Invoice;" and this he at once verifies by the production of the Invoi. e and the agreeujcnt at so much per cent. Seldom does the party com- plaining know, however, that 8 Rupees only were given for the Pound Sterling, when the ex- change required perhaps 12. 102 WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. ihe Rupee at 2»» 63. to the value nearer its intrinsic worth, 'of 2s* attempted for some time without success.

The Goonj or Ruttee is the small red seed, whether of the white or red species, of the abrus preca- torius ; these seeds are very uniform in size, and the plant producing them grows wild all over India. Two seeds, otherwise Goonj, make one wall, a weight represented by a seed of the Cheelur. This weight is further subdivi- sions as follows : — two Barley Corns=l Goonj, and eight mustard seeds=one Barley Corn. Under different Governments of India, the tola is composed of different proportions of these Goonj, or of the massa. The Bengal Tola, being of 100 Goonj or 12^ Massa— the Malwa Tola of 96 Goonj or twelve Massa. The Bombay Tola of 92 Goonj, or 11^ Massa. Several districts in Southern Konkan of 92 Goonj, or 11^ Massa ; 90 Goonj, or 11 J Massas ; and 96 Goonj, or 1 Massas. The pice of Kotah in Malwa, is equal in weight to 18 Massa, so that from these we may hope to obtain something approaching to the com- mon weight of the Massa or Goonj, the fundamental measures of weight. The Weight of the Bengal Massa in troy grains is 15.353, — being 191.916 troy grains, the Weight of a Calcutta Sicca Rupee, divided by 12.5, the num- ber of Massa in one tola. The weight in Troy grains of the tola in Malwa is 190 grains ; which being divided by 12, (the number of Massa in one tola) gives 15.8333 Troy grains for the weight of the Massa. In ascertaining (says Major Sykes,) the weight Troy of a Goonj, with a Hydrostatic balance, turning with the 10th of a grain, the results were as fol- lows: — 32 seeds, or Goonj, weighed 60.5 grains Troy — 16 seeds or Goonj, "weighed 30.5 grs. — 8 — weighed 15.1, and 56 seeds — weighed 105.2 grains, — which would give an average weight of 1.914 grains Troy for each seed ; 96 of these would make the tola equal to 183.7536 grains Troy. But as the seer weight of 80 rupees, or 13.800 grains troy, is to consist of 72 tolas, the tola should weigh 191.6666 grains instead of 183.7536, affording sufficient evidence that the tola in use, like every other weight, is below the proper standard.

I am much incline i to the latter opinion, as far as regards Western India, from observing that the same denominations belong to the Measure of Weight as to the Measure of Capa- city, and also, relatively, to their subdivisions. In this case it seems to me highly probable that the Tukka or Tunka, a small Silver Coin, current during the period of the Moghul supremacy, and in which the revenue was collected, and reckoned, throughout the Western Provinces of their Empire, and particularly in the Nizam-Shahee territories, was the foundation of the weights at present in practice throughout the Deccan. Seventy-two of these Tukka go to the Seer, which makes it nearly similar to the Tola, and the nuo-tank, or nine tanks, is still a Measure for Liquids in very general use. The Chetak, or six tanks, is tlie 16th part of a Seer of Weight in the Dec- can : but my inquiries regard the wei<;hts that are in use, and not those that have been. The most popular of the actual Measures of Capacity, are, the Huo-tank, the Seer, the Pusseeree, and the Adhoiec. -^»«®©«*— DRY MEASURE. The Adholee.— The Dry Measure called Adholee of two seers, which is the largest in use in the Deccan, is, in towns and large villages, made of wood turned in a lathe and lackered. It is in form nearly that of the hour glass and the half seer, \ seer, and \ seer, resembleit in form and lackering. In small villages, where the dealers are poorer, these measures are made from the large hollow bamboo sawed through at the joints. The Adholee in the Northern Konkan, consists of 3| and 4 Kutcha Seers, and the number of Adholees to the Kokuni Maund, varies in difterent towns in the Collectorate from 17 to 24. W^here the 4 Seer Adholee obtains, there the Maund contains 20 Adholee. and where the A 'holee is 3^ Seers, there the Maund consists of 24 Adholee; so thnt the Adholee and not the Maund differs: the 17 Adholee Measure is perhaps confined to Salsette. The Kokuni and Arali Khandy are both in jrenef d use in this Collectorate, — the first consists of «even Maunds, the othf'r of eight Maunds. The Ghatti, or Deccan Khandy, is also in use, and s us(*d for measuring salt. In most countries south of the Nerbudi^a grains are .^old by measures, but in selling the flour, a measured seer of grain is put into one scale, and the flour weighed against it. In countries north of the Nerbudda there seems to be no Dry Measure of capacity, and every thing is therefore sold by weight. This appears also to be the case in most of the Nizam's districts adjoining those of Ahmednugur. The introduction of measures into the Deccan appears to be of late date, but on what principle they were constructed it is diificult to conjecture. The solid WEIGHTS AND MEASURES^ 105 Contents of a seer of capacity is widely different from a seer of weight throagfh- out the Collectorships of both Po9na and Ahmednugur : the first filled with the grain Bajree varies from 108 to 120 rupees, while the other weighs about 80 rupees, or 73 Tola and 4 Massa* The Pusseree, or Pinj-seree. There is a measure, as well as weio:ht» termed Pusseree, or Punj-seree, both occasionally met with in the Deccan, but the former is in general use in the Nizam's Country. It ought to contain five seers, as its name imports, but it varies so much, arising either from igno- rance, or fraud, in the construction, that it occasions very general complaint. In Gujerat the Punj-seree is, in fact, but the representative of weight, but its cubical contents in ascertained through the medium of a variable stand- ard, that is, one species of grain, rice in the husk, which is liable to fluctua- tion according to the varying weight of that kind of corn in different soils, and seasons. The large Dry Measure in Bombay for salt is the para, containing 10^ Adholee, whereof, 100 make an anna — one anna is equnl to 21 tons — and 1,600 para, or 16 annas, make one rash, or 40 tons. The Para Measure, when used, is struck off even with the rim by a rod made for the purpose. The small Dry Measure for grain is the seer, whereof fo'jr make aJPuheelee, 17 Puheelees, a Para : and eight Para, a Khandy :— Batty or Rice in the busk is reckoned by the Moora of 25 Para. The Grain Khundee, in the Poona districts, consists of 20 mun : each Mun 12 Puheelee, but sometimes of 16 Puheelees ^ and each Puheelee of 2 Adholee : each Adholee of two seers. The subdivisions of the seer are |, f, and ^. The Pulla is a measure of capacity, the contents of which weigh 120 seers of 80 Ankoosee rupees the seer, or rather, it is the representative of the wtight called Pulla. The Puheelee at Bheema-Shunkur, Neelsee, and some other places bordering the Konkan, consists of 3i seers only, instead of four. The mun therefore of 12 Puheelee at these places, consists of 42 seers in- stead of 48 Dry Measure. LIQUID MEASURES. 1!'he Liquid Measure is used in the Deccan and Konkan, by the Oil sel- lers, and Spirit dealers : the measures used are of brass or iron, commonly in the form of a truncated cone. Like the other measures the aliquot parts will be found irregular, or varying from truth. Milk in our camps, and indeed in large towns, is sold by arbitrary measures, but they should, properly, be regu*- lated by the seer weight of 80 rupees. Oil, Milk, Ghee, and Spirits, are weighed in the Southern Konkan, with the seer of 28 tolas. The vessel in which they are contained being previously weighed, and the weight thereof deducted. Liquids are also vended by weight throughout Gujerat, but the oil and spirit dealers, have measures constructed on the principle of their solid contents being equal to the weight they are intended to represent, hence such measures must vary with the spe- cific gravity of the articles. Throughout the Northern Konkan, every Talook seems to have its own Oil, or Liquid, Measure ; it seems, however, to have been originally framed to con- tain, of oil, what would weigh one Kutcha Seer. When oil is bought for re- tail, forty-five seers are reckoned to the maund. The Liquid Seer Measure used in Bombay for Spirits, Arrack, and Milk, is equal in weight to 60 rupees, or lib. lOoz. 7dwt. 12gr. troy. The Maund consists of 50 of these seers, and the seer is subdivided into half seers, quarter seers, and the latter into two measures called nuo-tanks, — or nine tanks, or tukka. The measure for oil corresponds with the Maund of 281b., that is, the contents weigh that, and the contents of the seer, consequently, weigh lloz. 4dwt. 106 WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. LONG MEASURE. TfiE Measures of Length, are the Kathee, the Guz, and thetubit. Tjie first is only used as a land measure, the other two are more used by artificers, and sometimes in measuring piece goods, cloths, silks, &c. not sold by the piece. In most of the provinces under this Presidency the Guz is divided into 20 tussoo. In Gujerat it measures 27.5 inches, making the cubit of 14 tussoo, equal to 19.25 inches. In Cambay the Guz is 28.5 inches and the cubit 19.95 inches. At Bombay, and in Malabar, it is 28 inches and the cubit 19.6 inches. In the Deccan,the Dooab, the Southern Konkan, Surat, and also in Kutch, the Guz is divided into 24 tussoo, but of a great variety of length, and the cubit into 14 tussoo. The Peshwa's Guz, which is in use in the public departments at Poona, is 33.86 inches. At seven of the principal towns in the Dooab, the Guz varies from 31.75 inches to 34.75 inches, and broad cloth, velvet, chintz, and other articles of Europe manufacture are measured by it. An average, accurately taken, at 12 of the chief towns in Southern Konkan makes the Guz 33.438 inches, and the cubit 19.5()8 inches. In Surat the Guz used by tailors is 27.8, and by artificers 24 inches. In Kutch the Guz is di- vided into 24 tussoo, and measures 26.5 inches. The length of the cubit how ever, almost every where, is usually determined by the mean length of five different men's arms, measured from the elbow to the end of the middle finger : turbans, &c. are sold by this measure, but it is seldom met with out of Surat, as a measure, unless with tailors : purchasers usually measure by their own arm's length. The English yard is in common use at Bombay in measuring Europe manufactures, and indeed in many places in the interioi. SUPERFICIAL, AND SOLID, MEASURES. Superficial Measures for the measurement of land, Solid Measures for ascertaining the quantity of timber, and many kinds of artificers work, are obtained from the same data, as the measures of length. Artificer's Work. In Superficial measurement throughout Gujerat, Deccan, Konkan, and at the Presidency, the reckoning is made by 100 in length, whether Guz or Cubit, by one in breadth. This rule applies also to the manufacture of Carpets, Mats, &c. Masonry is calculated by the brass, which is 25 Cubits in length by one in breadth, and one in height. The quantity therefore of the brass varies agree- ably to the Cubit. The Cubit in use among Masons in Bombay is VO inches, (being '4 longer than the timber Guz,) so that a brass of Masonry contains 115.74 Cubic feet. Timber is measured by the Guz, and the rule for determining the contents is, by the square of the quarter girt multiplied i,*jito the leng^th. A Sawyer's Guz is 32 inches in length, and 9 inches in breadth : — 32X9=288 square inch- es=2 square feet. Bombay and Cnnara Measurement of Timber and Plank. Timber — ^20 Vissvassa make 1 Vassa — 20 Vassa, 1 Covit, or Candy. Plank— Is measured by the Guz of 28 English Inches or 24 Borels : 24 Borels in length, — 12 Borels in breadth, and 1 Borel in thickness, make a Guz. A Borel is equal to 1.666 English Inches. Malabar Measurement, Timber — Is measured by the Candy or Covit — 16 Moganies make 1 Borel — 24 Borels=l KoU— 24 Koil=l Covit, or Candy. Plank— Is measured by the Guz— thus 16 Moganies make 1 Borel— 12 Borels in breadth— 24 Borels in length, and 1 Borel in thickness^ constitute a Guz.

J The Land Measures are as follows : — The Standard rod of five cubits length used throughout Gujerat, called a gun- tha, also a bans' or bamboo/ sometimes a * moula', and sometimes, a ' wussa'. Of five and a half cubits length in the Deccan called a cattiee. Of five cubits, and five mooshtees (or palms-breadth) in Malwa, also, called cathee. Of five cubits and five mooshtees (or palms-breadth) in the Konkan, also called cathee. The length of the several measurers, obtained by Major Williams here under specified, led me to fix the length of the hustu, or cubit, at about 19.3 or 19.4 inches, — the districts in which the shorter measures are used being so small in comparison of the districts, in which the larger measures are used.

Average length of a cubit in Goojerat, 19.204 inch. . The length of a hustu equal to one-fifth of 96.02 inches = 19.204 inches. The measure of a cubit described also by Major Williams are as follows :— 1 Hingalla, Broach Purgunna, 19.2 2 Muzmoodar's Measure, 19. 3 Dewalla PatelFs Jumbooseer Purgunna, ^^ , 19.4 4 Desaees of the Dehej Purgunna, 19.5 5 Patells of Roza-Tunkaree, Amod Purgunna, . . ^ 19.2 Average length of a hustu or cubit, 19.26 The Cathee Measures obtained from the different parts of the Southern Konkan are as follows : — From the Sanksee Prant equal to, , 1 13. inches 19.37 inches. „ Ouchitgurh, Ill 19.03 „ Razpooree, 112.75 19.32 „ Soowurndroog, 112 19.21 „ Anj unwell,.... ^. 112.75 19.32 „ Rutnagiri, 110.66 19.97 „ Viziadroog,...., 114.2 19.58 „ Rygurh, .......112 19.21 „ Salsee, 112 19.37 Average length of the Cathee, 112.373 Average length of a Cubit, 19.265 108 WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. In Goojerat the Bheega, or Veega, it is sometimes pronounced, is equal to the square of 20 gunthas ; the square of one guntha being termed a wus- wassa. 20 Wuswassa, = 1 wussa ; and 20 wussa, = 1 Bheega. It may be observed here that the terms wussa, and wuswassa, so generally used in all measures in Goojerat are corruptions of beeswa, and beeswansa, meaning the twentieth part, and twenty-twentieth. On the western side of India the Bheega is equal to the Superficial content of a square of 20 Cathees : the square of one Cathee is called a poluh. 20 poluh = 1 Pand : 20 pands = 1 Bheega : and 120 pands = 1 Chaoor. It is customary in the Konkan to reckon 23 pand, equal to one bheega, and the Mhars, whose office it is to measure the land, do not lay the Cathee, or mea- suring rod, on the ground, but raise the one end up, and pass it quickly over to the supj'osed place of the other end, which gives a much less quantity than the true superficial content — this last custom, is also observed iu Goojerat — but in the I)eccan land is measured with a rape which gives the true contents. The following is by ^he late Byram Rovvles, Esq. of the Bombay Civil Ser- vice, from whose abilities in revenue matters, we may infer it to be very correct. 1st. — Akbyr Shah's Bheega (on the authodty of Mr. Colebrooke) 3,025 square yards. 2d.— "Sashtee or Salsette Bheega (on the authority of Mr. Duncan) 3,927 square yards. 3d. — The Bheega of the Neriad Cusba, (by marks on the Chuklasee Bhagul Dhurumsala) 2,994 square yards 4 feet 4 inches. 4th. — Supposed extent of the large Bheega throughout the Neriad villages, 2,500 square yards. 5th. — Small Bheega of Sulamee, and Posaitu Tenures,^ as well as the Wu- seefa, and other lands, not fully assessed, 1,600 square yards. 6th.- Bheega of the Western division of Gujerat, comprising grassia tenures, 1,600 square yards. 7th. — Turab of Mahomedan Law, 1,600 square yards. 8th. — Kaira Bheega, according to the Patells' rods, 3,404 square yards. 9th.— The Bengal Bheega, 1,600 square yards. [From Colonel Monier William's Meimir, Sgc.'] The proportions between the different Land Measures of this country and that of England are illustrated as follows ;— Yards. Feet. Inches. In an English Statute Acre, 4,840 In a Standard Koombha of the Jumboosur, Amod, and Dehej Purgunnas, • 4,641 20 In a Standard Beega of the Baroche, Unklesur, and Hansot Purgunnas, 2,477 7 64 In a Standard Beega of the Ahmedabad, Kaira, and Surat CoUectorates, 2,844 4 There are various modes of reckoning land in the Deccan, but they are all founded on the Bheega, measuring, in superficial contents, 400 Cathees of 5 cubits, and 5 palms-breadth in length. In the Poona districts 10 Bbeega=l Rooka : 48 Bheega=l Tukka :— a Khandy contains from 20 to 35 Bheega ; and a mun, or Maund, of land is the twentieth part of a Khandy. In Khandes, and in many of the Ahmednugur districts, 4 Bheega=l Purtun, and 80 Bheega=l Dooree. In the Dharwar Zilla, a Koorgee is as much land as can be sown with a drill plough in one day, consequently varying from 2 to 8 Bheega.
