I. Rajah Ramchunder Rao Powar consents to cede, in perpetuity, to the Hon. Company, the district of Birseah, and the tribute of Allee. (Mohun.)

II. The Hon. Company stipulates, in consideration of these two cessions, to pay annually to Rajah Ramchunder Rao Powar, his heirs and successors, the sum of one lac and ten thousand rupees of the Indore or Oogein currency.

III. Whereas it was agreed by the 6th Article of the Treaty concluded between the Hon. Company and the State of Dhar, on the 10th January, A. D. 1819, (12th of Rubbee ool awul, 1234 Hejira, and 14th Poos Soodi, 1875 Sumbut), that the District of Birseah should, in compensation of a loan from the British Government to Dhar, of 2 lacs and 50,000 rupees, remain in possession of the British Government for a period of five years, viz. from the 29th March, A.

D. 1824, (29th Jemadee ool awul, 1239 Hejira, and 15th Chyte Soodi, ending 1880 Sumbut), it is to be understood that that arrangement remains undisturbed by any term of the present engagement; and accordingly the payment by the British Government to Dhar of 1 lac and 10,000 rupees will not commence till after the expiration of the five years aforesaid; that is, till the year 1881 Sumbut.

IV. But as the two cessions aforesaid are virtually made to the British Government from the date of this Engagement, the British Government agrees that, from the date it commences to exercise the rights acquired by the cession of the Allee (Mohun) tribute, it will pay to Dhar at the rate of 10,000 rupees per annum of Indore or Oogein currency, till the 27th day of March 1824.

The annual amount of 1 lac and 10,000 rupees of Indore or Oogein currency, to be paid by the British Government to Dhar, will be liquidated by two equal instalments of 55,000 rupees each, viz. one in the month of Koowar, and the other in the month of Chyte of each Hindoo year; those for the first year corresponding with August, A. D. 1824, and. February, A. D. 1825.

No. 19.-TREATY with the Government of Cutch, dated the 21st May 1822.

TREATY between the Hon. English East India Company and Maharajah Mirza Rao Sree Dessuljee, his heirs and successors, concluded by Charles Norris, Esq. Resident in Cutch, on the part of the Hon. Company, and by the Sharejee Bhy, and Rijirjjee Pragjee of Kotree Mokajee Chandajee Bharrajee, Alyajee Bhanjee Pragjee of Mhowa, Karjajee and Jaymulijee, on the part of the Rao, by virtue of Full Powers from their respective Governments.

I. The British Government and the Government of Cutch, thinking it expedient that the Town and District of Anjar should be transferred to H. H. the Rao of Cutch for a pecuniary equivalent, the Tenth Article in the Treaty of Sumbut 1872 (A. D. 1816) is annulled, and the separate Deed therein alluded to is declared void. The sum of Ahmedabad Sicca rupees 88,000 a year, is agreed to by both Governments, as the amount which is to be paid by the Cutch Govern-ment to the Hon. Company, in return for the transfer of the Town and District above mentioned to H. H. the Rao of Cutch, including in the Anjar District the Town of Lakhapore, the separate deed of which is declared void.

II. The Town and District of Anjar will be delivered over to the Cutch Government on the 2d Assur Sood Sumbut, 1879 M. E., corresponding with 20th June 1822, A. D., and the Government of Cutch engages to make good the payment of the sum stipulated every year, by two half-yearly payments, the first of rupees 44,000, on Posh Sood 2d; and the second of rupees 44,000, on Assar Sood 2d: no diminution of the amount of compensation above fixed for the Town and District of Anjar shall ever take place; and the Government of Cutch agrees, that, if it shall not be paid regularly at the periods above specified, good and satisfactory assignments of land in full sovereignty, either the Anjar Talook or other Districts, as may suit the Cutch Government, shall be made to the British Government, for the purpose of realizing the amount which may have become due.

III. Since the establishment of the connection between the two Governments, the British Brigade has been cantoned at the foot of the Hill Fort of Bhooj, which has remained in the hands of the British. The British Government, from an anxiety to restore the Fort to H. H. the Rao, has had the ground in the neighbourhood of Blooj

examined, with the view of removing the Camp. One spot only has been found suitable for a cantonment: it is situated to the North of the Town, and belongs to Rajpoot Brahmins; and the Government of Cutch being unable to induce the owners voluntarily to surrender this ground, has expressed a wish that the cantonment may remain where it is at present, and the Fort continue in the occupation of the British. To this proposal the British Government agrees, and the Cutch Government engages never to require the British Government to give up the Fort, without obtaining by purchase from the Proprietors the ground above-mentioned, and giving it to the British Government, and indemnifying the British Government for any expence which it may have incurred in repairing the Fort, which expence however is not to exceed the sum of rupees 45,000.

Dated the 1st Jest Sood, Sumbut 1878, corresponding with the 21st May, 1822, A.D.
