of Original Document:
To—The King ! Shelter of the World !
RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH,—That the Troopers quartered in the Chundni Chowk, have picquetted their horses immediately in the front of the shops. Many of the tenants have, in consequence, vacated their shops and gone away, and those that remain are ready to follow the same course, from dread of the Troopers. Much loss of rent, as well as damage to the shops, which having been plastered with mortar are yet in repair, is now occurring. Your petitioner prays, therefore, that orders according to the Royal pleasure may be issued in thismatter. Petition of the consumer of the Royal salt, the slave Rattan Chand, Superintendent of the Gardens, and personal Estates of the King, at Sahibabad, &c.
Note in Maroin—“‘Copy taken”’,
Order by the King, in reference to the above petition, without signature, seal, or cypher, dated 16th July 1857.
To—Mirza Moghal.
Son,—The illustrious and valiant Mirza Zohur-ud-din, otherwire Mirza Moghal Bahadur, Learn, that we are informed, by a petition from Rattan Chand, Superintendent of the Sahibabad Garden, which is herein enclosed in original, that the Troopers of the Cavalry come from Jadhpur have picquetted their horses in front of the shops, and have taken possession of a number of them. That some of the shopkeepers, have, in consequence, vacated their shops and gone away, and that those of the tenants who remain are ready to do the same. Under these circumstances, loss to our personal Revenue must ensue. You, our son, are therefore directed to cause these Troopers to remove from their present location, and to assign them some other place to stay in, so that this cause of loss to our Revenue may be checked. Be assured of our kindness.
