1890

On emerging I " visited Yelandur and made an interesting excursion to " Talkad Sivasamudram and the falls of the Kaveri ; then"xx ) to Nursipdr where I camped for a week close to the river " in the shade of a splendid tope of mango and pipal trees and " in sight of four curious old pagodas and the picturesque " chain of the Balirangan hills. [...] The crux of the suit is said to be whether the king of Demark had the right to cut off the entail of Noer as was done at the instigation of Prince Friedrich who was desirous of securing the reversion of the estate to his wife and children. [...] According to "the most impartial and trustworthy of the authorities "at our disposal the facts of his affairs are as follows:- " The ancient fort of Multrtn lies to the north of Sindh "and between the Indus and the Sutlej. [...] The Afghan war the conquest of Sindh as well "as the stubborn conflict in the Punjab had excited to the " highest degree the hatred of the Multanis for the " foreigners whose growing power was a threat to their " independence. [...] In a tumult in the city of Multan the " two agents fell victims to the outburst of anger on the " part of the inflammable and warlike Multanfs who had "from the first regarded their presence with distrust and." They were killed in the street and as some of " their servants averred on their way to the citadel to seek "the protection of the Amir.
