WHEREAS a Treaty of Friendship was concluded between the British Government and Rajah Pareechut, Rajah of Dutteeah, on the 15th of March 1804; and whereas, by virtue of a Treaty concluded between the British Government and the late Peishwah, under date the 13th of June 1817, the Territory held in Jaggeer from the Peishwah by the Vinchoorker Jageerdar, North of the Nerbuddah River, was ceded to the British Government; and whereas the Rajah of Dutteeah, by the zeal, fidelity and attachment, which he has uniformly manifested to the British Government, since the date of his former Treaty, and more especially by the prompt and effectual assistance he afforded the British Troops during the late encampment of the army, under the personal command of The Most Noble the Gov.-Gen. within his Country, has established a just claim to the liberality and indulgence of the British Government. The Most Noble the Marquess of Hastings, Governor-General, influenced by these considerations, has consented to bestow, in perpetuity, upon the said Rajah Parecchut, Rajah of Dutteeah, that portion of the late Jageer of the Vinchoorker Jageerdar laying East of the River Sinde, commonly called the Chowrassie, subject, however, to the charges and conditions. set forth in the following Articles. With a view, also, to the further strengthening and confirming of the friendship and attachment of the State of Dutteeah, the British Government has consented to protect the Dutteeah Territory against all Foreign enemies. The following Articles have accordingly been concluded between Rajah Parecchut, Rajali of Dutteeah and the British Government, in amendment of the former Treaty.

I. The Treaty concluded between the British Government and Rajah Pareechut, under date the 15th of March 1804, is hereby confirmed, with exception of such parts of it as are amended or altered by the provisions of this Treaty.

II. The British Government hereby grants, in perpetuity, to the said Pareechut, Rajah of Duttecah, all those lands lying to the East of the river Sinde, known by the name of Chowrassic, and formerly held by the Vinchoorker Jageerdar, as detailed in the subjoined List; subject, however, to the conditions and charges contained in the fellowing Articles. The Rajah is hereby also confirmed in the permanent possession of that part of Vinchoorker Jageerdar, contained also in the subjoined List, which is already in the Rajah's possession.

III. Rao Gunput Rao, the Agent of the Vinchoorker Jageerdar, will receive an assignment to the Amount of 10,000 Rupees per annum on the aforesaid lands; and the Rajah of Duttecah hereby

agrees to pay to the said Gunput Rao the above provision, in such manner as the Most Noble The Gov.-Gen. may direct.

IV. The British Government hereby agrees to protect the original Territory of the Rajah of Dutteeah, as well as the District now granted to the Rajah, from the aggressions of all Foreign Powers.

If the apprehended aggression shall be referable to any other cause, the British Government will endeavour, by representation and remonstrance, to avert its design; and if, notwithstanding the Rajah's acquiescence in the award of the British Government, the other Power shall persist in its hostile designs, and the endeavours of the British Government shall fail of success, such measures will be adopted for the protection of the Rajah's Territories as the circumstances of the case may appear to require.

VI. In consideration of the liberal grant of Territory now made to the Rajah of Dutteeah, and the protection and guarantee afforded by the two foregoing Articles to the Rajah's Territory; the Rajah hereby binds himself to employ his Troops at his own expence, whenever required to do so, in co-operation with those of the British Government, on all occasions in which the interests of the two States may be mutually concerned. On all such occasious the Dutteeah Troops shall act under the orders and controul of the Commanding Officer of the British Troops.

VII. The Rajah of Dutteeah hereby agrees to submit to the arbitration of the British Government all his disputes with other Chieftains, and implicitly to abide by its award.

VIII. The Rajah engages at all times to employ his utmost exertions in defending the roads and passes of his Country, against any enemies or predatory bodies who may attempt to penetrate through it into the Territories of the British Government.

IX. Whenever the British Government may have occasion to send its Troops through the Territories of the Rajah of Dutteeah, or to station a British Force within them, it shall be competent to the British Government to detach or station its Troops, and the Rajah shall give his consent accordingly. The Commander of the British Troops who may thus

eventually pass through, or permanently occupy a position within the Rajah's Territory, shall not in any manner interfere in the internal concerns of the Dutteeah Government. Whatever materials or supplies may be required for the use of the British Troops during their continuance in the Dutteeah Territories, shall be readily furnished by the Rajah's Officers and Subjects, and shall be paid for at the price current of the Bazar.
