As to his last proposition of giveing a Sum of money we told him that [we] did much admire Ebrahim Cawn Gurry should mention such a thing, when twas notoriously known Selimon Cawn had basely and wickedly robbed, plundered and damaged this place to a considerable amount ; that we had represented the matter to Zulfauker Cawn, and did not question but he would order him to render satisfaction ; That Ebrahim Cawn Gurry had in his letters exprest quite contrary as aforesaid, and we expected restitution for his wrongs ; his Braminy did not propose the delivery of the four Horses, nor the other Prisoners that were servants to Selimon Cawn. In discourse with the Braminy we are assured that Selimon Cawns people came into Cuddalore with some of the Kings treasure ; Zulfauker Cawn had sent about 200 horsemen belonging to Ramsing for said treasure, which was about 25,000 Rups. Selimon Cawn was to send some horse as a Convoy with it towards the Camp, and haveing had evill designs against Cuddalore, took this opportunity, and there is reason to believe Ramsings people knew nothing of it till the morning, and then they hasted away with the treasure, tho' some of them were spectators of Selimon Cawns base attempt ; and tis said that they have reported the same publickly at Zulfauker Cawns Camp to the dishonour of Selimon Cawn.
