12 1. The Ranee is very angry at Sirdar Shumshere Singh being sent
13 to Bunnoo Tank, as she says the Maharajah is very fond of him.
14 2. Durbar at the Residency. Sheikh Emam-oo-deen’s former
15 Jageers and a small farm held by him in the Punjab were restored. A
16 considerable discussion about the punishment proper for several
17 Mussalmans in the Provinces who have been guilty of cow-killing. It
18 appeared that the offences had been committed since the date of the new
19 Treaty, and as it is probable that the offenders believed English rule
20 and English customs were now established in the Punjab, I advised the
21 Durbar to suspend judgment till they had enquired more fully into the
22 matter.
23 ord February.
24 1. Sirdar Shumshere Singh had a /A/ul/ut conferred on him pre-
25 vious to his departure for Bunnoo.
26 2. Sirdar Kan Singh, Majeethia, reports having effected a complete
27 reconciliation between Sirdars Lehna Singh and Runjore Singh at
28 Unritsir. The Durbar loudly praise him for having accomplished so
29 desirable a termination of the family quarrel.
30 3. The Mooltan Akhbar reports that Shere Mahomed Khan, ex-Amir
31 of Scinde, is now at a place’ 35 coss from Mooltan. Some time ago he
32 addressed General Sir John Littler and forwarded him a letter which he
33 had received from the)Governor of Scinde. Sir John Littler referred the
34 matter to me, and as the Khan appeared to be in great distress, I wrote
35 and invited him to Lahore with a promise that 1 would endeavour to get
36 him an allowance, or failing that would allow him to return in safety
37 whence he came. _I again addressed him yesterday.
