1 220 NOTES.
2 Amongst others, Mulika Zumanee, a Delilee Queen, and
3 one of the widows of Meer Munoo. Huree Singh, the son
4 with other members of the family of Raja Kaon r a Mul, was
5 also living there in splendour; and Dilput Raee, the son of
6 LuKHPUT Raee, had likewise settled there, with the remains
7 of several other families of Nobles of the Dehlee, or Vice
8 Regal Courts. Runjeet Deo treated all these refugees
9 with much distinction, and particularly enjoined his son to
10 continue to them the same courtesy. Brij Raj, however,
11 was no sooner seated on the Gudee, than he made them the
12 objects of his extortion. From HuREE Singh he is said
13 to have obtained 50 lakhs of rupees.

15 Khooshwuqt Raee states the plunder obtained by Mah a
16 Singh, from Jummoo, at two Krores of Rupees, but this
17 seems much exaggerated. He also states that Brij Raj
18 had been killed in an action with a Bhungee detachment,
19 and his son, Chyt Singh, was the Raja, when Maha Singh
20 captured and sacked the town.

22 According to K, R., Jv Singh ordered his people to
23 shoot Maha Singh, and Goor Bukhsh, his son, in vain
24 interceded to save him, — he also says, that Maha Singh went
25 off immediately from the interview, and was pursued and fired
26 at as far as the village of Mejithia, but escaped fortunately
27 without injury.

29 Khooshwuqt Raee is silent in respect to the fate of
30 Runjeet Singh's Mother, but admits that the Dewan was
31 made away with, and adds that Runjeet was for some time
32 after distrustful of the whole race of Mootusudees, and would
33 employ none.
