47.1.8

Next year the King moved towards Kutehr, and was met by Nursing Ray, who came to the banks of the Ganges to pay his respects; but as he had not settled the revenues of his territory for three years, he was detained in camp for a few days till his accounts were adjusted, and then released. The King, having crossed the Ganges, reduced some factious tributary chiefs and returned to Dehly; but not remaining there many days, he marched towards Mewat, from whence he expelled some insurgents, and ravaging their country, returned to his capital; when having permitted his officers to retire to their estates with their troops, he abandoned himself to dissipation. The Mewatties, rendered desperate by the King's conduct towards them, took revenge on the neighbouring districts. In the year 829, therefore, the King assembling troops, marched to punish them. On his approach, Julloo and Kudroo, the grandsons of Bahadur Nahir Mewaty, retreated to the hills of Alwur, and defended the passes with much obstinacy; but being eventually reduced to great distress they surrendered, and were imprisoned. The repeated attacks on the Mewatties did not render them peaceable. The King, after a lapse of four months, was again obliged to send troops against them, who carried fire and sword through their whole country. The King now proceeded as far as Byana, where he found that Ameer Khan, the governor, was dead; and that his brother Mahomed Khan, assuming independence, had shut himself up in the town.
