The Faujdar communicated the gist of this state of things to Nawab Jafar Khan, and subsequently deputed there all the Mughals and the whole of the nobility and the gentry. These, in the presence of the Nawab, set forth their grievances. Nawab Jafar Khan despatched an order to the Faujdar prohibiting absolutely the English from placing a brick over a brick and from laying a timber over a timber. The Faujdar, directly on the receipt of the order of prohibition, directed that none of the masons and carpenters should do work in connection with the buildings, and in consequence the buildings remained incomplete. Mr. Charnock, getting enraged, prepared to fight. But as he had a small force and except one ship, no other ships were then there, and besides the authority of Nawab Jafar Khan was overawing, and the Mughals were numerous, and the powerful Faujdar was on their side, seeing no good in shaking hands and feet, of necessity, raised the anchor of the ship. - [Previous: 8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.8.1) - [Next: 8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.8.3) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.8.2) · Pramāṇa
