Rajah of Rewah, or to punish the Aggressors, or to arbitrate any demand they may have upon the Rajah of Rewah, according to the strict principles of justice; the Rajah, on his part, agreeing implicitly to abide by its award.

V. The Rajah of Rewah engages never to grant an asylum within his Dominions to any Enemies of the British Government, or to Rebels; but, on the contrary, to exert his utmost endeavours for the apprehension of such Persons, and if apprehended, to deliver them up to he Officers of the British Government. The Rajah further engages not to permit the Families of Persons of that description to reside within his Territories. If any of the Enemies of the Rajah, or the Rebels to his Government, shall take refuge within British Territories, the British Government, on receiving notice thereof from the Rajah of Rewah, will, after due investigation, pursue such measures with regard to the Fugitives as equity and justice may appear to require, adopting, at the same time, every practicable means to prevent their committing any acts injurious to the Territory and Government of the Rajah.

VI. Whereas Robbers, issuing from the Territories of the Rajah of Rewah, frequently commit depredations in those of the Company, the Rajah engages, on receiving an Application from the Officers of the British Government, to exert his authority for the purpose of arresting the Persons accused of such Crimes, and when apprehended, to cause them to be delivered over to the said Officers.

VII. If any of the Brothers or Servants of the Rajah of Rewah shall calumniate, misrepresent, or accuse the Rajah before the British Government, that Government will not, without inquiry and proof, give credit to the statement of such Persons.

VIII. The honour, rank, and dignity of the Rajah of Rewah shall be estimated by the British Government in the same degree as that which they were estimated by the former Emperor of Hindostan.

IX. Whenever the British Government shall deem it expedient to send its Troops into the Dominions of the Rajah of Rewah, or to station or canton a British Force within the Rajah's Territories, for the purpose of guarding against the advance, or intercepting the retreat of an Enemy, or of Pindarries, or other predatory Bodies, it shall be competent to the British Government so to detach its Troops, and the Rajah of Rewah shall give his consent accordingly. The Rajah shall also, on any such occasion, station his Troops according to the advice of the Officers of the British Government, at the Ghaut of Chandeah, Kunriah, or such Ghauts or Passes as the British Government's Commanding Officer shall point out; the Commanding Officers of the British Troops which may be thus employed in the Rajah's Territories, shall not in any manner interfere in the internal concerns of the Rajah's Government. Whatever materials or supplies may be required for the British Cantonments, or for the use of the British Troops during their continuance in the Rajah's Territories, shall be readily furnished by the Rajah's Officers and Subjects, and shall be paid for at the price current of the Bazaar. If any materials which are indispensably necessary should happen not to be procurable by purchase, and it shall consequently become necessary to take such articles whenever found in the Rajah's Dominions, the price of such articles shall be paid for by the British Government, at the rate that may be settled by Arbitrators, appointed by the British Government and the Rajah respectively.

X. The Rajah of Rewah, being admitted among the number of the Allies of the British Government, engages at all times to comply with any just and reasonable Requisition connected with the interests and prosperity of the Government, to conform to its advice, and to the utmost of his power to fulfil the obligations of Friendship and Attachment towards the British Power.

XI. This Treaty, consisting of 11 Articles, having this day been concluded between the British Government and Rajah Jey Sing Deo, Rajah of Rewah, through the Agency of Mr. John Richardson, in virtue of Powers delegated to him by the Right Honourable Lord Minto, Governor General in Council, on the one part; and Bukhshy Baugaun Dhut, the Vakeel of the said Rajah, on the other; Mr. Richardson has delivered to the said Vakeel one Copy of the Treaty in English, Persian, and Hindooee, signed and sealed by himself; and the said Vakeel has delivered to Mr. Richardson another Copy, duly executed by the Rajah; and Mr. Richardson has engaged to procure and deliver to the said Vakeel, within the space of 30 days, a Copy ratified by the Seal of the Company, and the Signature of the Governor General in Council; on the delivery of which, the Copy executed by Mr. Richardson shall be returned, and the Treaty shall be considered from that time to have full force and effect.

Signed, sealed and exchanged, at Banda, on the 5th of October, A.D. 1812.

No. 32. T'REATY with the Rajah of Rewah.-Badderah, 2d June,

1813.

WHEREAS, on the 5th October, 1812, corresponding with 15th Kooar, 1869 Sumbut, a Treaty of mutual Friendship and Defensive Alliance was concluded between the British Government and the Rajah of Rewah: And whereas, the Rajah of Rewah having failed to fulfil the engagements which the afore-mentioned Treaty imposed upon him, the British Government was compelled, in vindication of its honour and its rights, to detach its Troops into Rewah to enforce the execution of those engagements, and to obtain security for their due fulfilment in future: And whereas, the Rajah having now returned to a proper sense of his relations with the British Government, and having expressed his contrition for the past, agrees to the following conditions, for Himself and for his Heirs and Successors.

ART. I. All the Stipulations of the Treaty concluded on the 5th October, 1812, corresponding with the 15th of Kooar, 1869, Sumbut, are hereby declared to be in full force and effect, in as far as they are not affected or altered by the Conditions contained in this Treaty.

II. The Rajah of Rewah hereby binds himself to engage in no correspondence of a Political nature with any Foreign State or Chief whatever, without the privity and consent of the British Government, or its Representative, the Agent of Bundlecund.

III. The Rajah engages to receive, and permit to remain at his place of residence, a News-writer, or any other Agent on the part of the British Government, or the Agent in Bundlecund; and to maintain an authorized Vakeel with the Agent, and with the Commanding Officer of any British Detachment which may be stationed within his Territory, both for the purpose of maintaining the general relations of amity, and of enforcing the supply of provisions, and ready compliance with the just demands of the Commanding Officer.

IV. The Rajah of Rewah agrees to allow Dawks to be established through his Territory, by the Officers of the British Government, in any direction that may be deemed necessary; to compel his Feudatory Chiefs to do the same, and to punish them in case of opposition; and the Rajah acknowledges the right of the British Government to punish them for such opposition, in the event of his own inability to do so.

V. Lal Zubberdust Sing, the Jageerdar of Chourut, having, in a very insulting and contumacious manner, refused to permit the Honourable Company's Dawk to be laid through his Jageer, the exemplary punishment of the aforesaid Jageerdar is indispensable. The British Government is accordingly resolved to inflict exemplary punishment on this Jageerdar; and the Rajah of Rewah not only acknowledges the right of the British Government to do so, but agrees to aid and co-operate with the British Troops in effecting that object. The Rajah further engages to use his utmost means to punish Lal Zubberdust Sing himself, whenever the British Government shall require him to do so.

VI. Frequent instances of robberies and other crimes have occurred within the British Territory, the perpetrators of which issue from and take refuge within the Rewah Territory, and thereby not only escape the punishment due to their crimes, but continue to infest the Honourable Company's adjacent Territory with impunity, keeping the Inhabitants in a constant state of alarm. With a view to suppress this evil, the Rajah hereby engages to permit the Troops or Police Officers of the British Government to pass into the Rewah Territories, for the pursuit and apprehension of all such offenders; and also to afford them, and to cause his Officers and Jageerdars to afford them, every necessary assistance in discovering and apprehending the objects of their pursuit.

VII. The Rajah of Rewah agrees to consider those Jageerdars and other Residents of his Country, who have been well disposed towards the British Government on the present occasion, as his Friends; and will not molest or retaliate upon them for the favourable disposition they may have shown. The Friends of the British Government shall be his Friends, and its Enemies his Enemies.

VIII. On the 2nd of May, 1813, corresponding with the 17th Bysakh, 1870, Sumbut, an Agreement for the mutual suspension of Hostilities was concluded between Lalla Pertab Sing, on the part of the Rajah of Rewah, and Colonel Martindell, commanding the British Troops. A party of Sepoys, escorting a cart of military stores appertaining to a detachment proceeding from the Singrownah Pass, were, on the 7th May, 1813, corresponding with the 22nd Bysakh, 1870 Sumbut, treacherously, and in direct violation of the above Agreement, attacked by a large body of Horse and Foot near to the Village of Sutanee, and several Sepoys were killed and wounded and the property plundered. The Rajah of Rewah having solemnly disavowed all knowledge or participation in the above atrocious act, hereby acknowledges the right of the British Government to punish the Perpetrators of it, in whatever manner and at whatever time it may please; and the Rajah further agrees to afford every assistance and co-operation, in the accomplishment of the above object, that the British Government may require of him.

IX. It is both just and equitable that the Rajah of Rewah should indemnify the British Government for the expense of the Armament which has been equipped and marched into Rewah, in consequence of his failure to perform the conditions of his former Engagements. At the lowest estimation, the extra expense of that Armament cost the British Government the sum of 33,880 rupees per mensem; and the preparations having commenced some days before the 1st of April, 1813, corresponding with the 15th of Chyte, 1870 Sumbut, it is agreed by the British Government, that the expense shall be calculated from that date. The Rajah of Rewah accordingly hereby acknowledges himself justly responsible for the payment of the above expense, monthly, to the British Government, calculating from the 1st of April, 1813, or the 15th of Chyte, 1870 Sumbut, until such time as the objects of the present detachment shall have been entirely completed. In consideration, however, of the Rajah having obeyed the summons to repair in person to Colonel Martindell's camp, on terms of unconditional submission; and in order to remove from the Rajah every excuse for the punctual liquidation of the amount, the British Government consents to limit the period of the charge to the 10th of May, 1813, corresponding with the 25th Bysakh, 1870 Sumbut, the day on

which the Rajah came into camp. Upon this principle, the sum to be paid by the Rajah is 45,173 rupees. The Rajah hereby engages to pay the above sum by the following instalments; any deviation from which will subject him to the penalties of a breach of the Treaty.

Rupees.

On the 8th June, 1813, or 25th Jyte, 1870, Sumbut... 5,000

X. This Treaty, consisting of 10 Articles, having been concluded between the British Government, and Rajah Jey Sing Deo, Rajah of Rewah, through the Agency of Mr. John Wauchope, in virtue of Powers delegated to him by the Right Honourable Lord Minto, Governor-General in Council, on the one part; and the Rajah in person on the other; Mr. Wauchope has delivered to the Rajah one Copy of the Treaty in English, Persian, and Hindoo, signed and sealed by himself; and the said Rajah has delivered to Mr. Wauchope another Copy, duly executed by himself; and Mr. Wauchope has engaged to procure and deliver to the accredited Vakeel of the Rajah, within the space of 30 days, a Copy ratified by the Seal and Signature of the Governor-General in Council; on the delivery of which, the Copy executed by Mr. Wauchope shall be returned, and the Treaty shall be considered from that time to have full force and effect.

Signed, sealed and exchanged at Badderah, on the Bank of the Tonse, on the 2nd day of June, 1813; corresponding with the 19th of Jyte, 1870 Sumbut.

SUPPLEMENTAL ARTICLE to the Treaty concluded between

the Honourable East India Company and Rajah Jye Sing Deo, the Rajah of Rewah, on the 2nd June, 1813, corresponding with the 19th Jyte, 1870 Sumbut.

WHEREAS, by the IIIrd Article of the Treaty concluded between the Honourable Company and the Rajah of Rewah, on the 2nd of June, 1813, corresponding with the 19th Jyte, 1870 Sumbut, the Rajah of Rewah has engaged to receive, and permit to remain at his place of residence, a News-writer, or any other Agent on the part of the British Government or the Agent in Bundlecund: And whereas the Rajah has, by the IVth Article of the aforesaid Treaty, engaged to allow a Dawk to be established through his Territory by the Officers of the British Government, in any direction which may be deemed necessary, the Rajah, in the true spirit and intent of those Stipulations, engages to treat the
