2 camels for the use of the ,Sirhind Division. This the -rdja ‘neglected to
3 .do, in spite of repeated promises -and assurances. ‘As he had always re-
4 -ceived.the most liberal.treatment at ;the-hands of the British Government,
5 -who recognised his claims, which could hardly be said to ‘have any legal
6 foundation,.the Government was dissatisfied with his conduct, and Major
7 ‘Broadfoot inflicted ,upon him a fine of Rs. 10,000. To wipe out this
8 _ disgrace, the rdj4 acted with so much zeal and devotion, that :he was soon
9 again .received into favour. He made himself very useful in providing
10 supplies and carriage,:and furnished a contingent which served with the
11 British troops. Another detachment accompanied the Patidlé contingent
12 under Captain Hay, and did good service. The raéjé also sent a detach-
13 ment of his -troops to Kashmir, to assist the British officers in suppressing
14 the rebellion of Shekh Imdm-ud-din against Mahardjé Goldb Singh.
15 These ;services were duly rewarded by the British Government, and not
16 only was the fine of Rs. 10,000, imposed by Major Broadfoot, remitted,
17 but lands of.the value of :;Rs. 3,000 a year were granted to him, and the
18 Government engaged never to demand from the raja or his successors tri-
19 bute. or revenue, the raja on his part undertaking to place all his troops at
20 the disposal of Government in all cases of emergency, to keep military roads
21 in thorough repair, and.to suppress slavery, infanticide and satti in his domi-
22 nions. He further abolished transit duties in the Jhind territory, and, in
23 Warning given.
24 The Raja's subse-
25 quent good services.
26 He is amply reward-
27 ed for those services.
28 The Raja’s engage-
29 meuts with the British
