RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH,—That the Soldier ofthe 9th Regiment Native Infantry quartered near Skinner’s “house, which is close to the Cashmere Gate, are destroying the houses adjoining the Ailkhand Khan Police Station, and situated in the rear of Skinner’s house. Several tenements, forming a square, some of brick or stone, and some of mud or unbaked bricks and belonging to Ascetics, are situated in the locality. The aforesaid Soldiery had before dug out and taken away the doors and door-frames. They are now destroying the roofs. As Your Majesty dispenses justice to all, your Petitioner depends on Your Majesty’s goodness and favour, and prays that the entire demolition of these houses by the Soldiers may be prevented, so that what remains of them may be saved from their aggressive hands. It was necessary, and has there- fore been submitted (Prayers for the King’s prosperity). Petition of the Ascetic, the lowly Syad Muhammad.
