The Marathas also claimed the Purganah of Laspochour held by Āsārām Chaudhuri. Dynely held an inquiry during his period of office at Medinipur and sent an Āmin to collect evidence, but the report of the Āmin was favourable to the Marathas. Peiarce stated that after Dynely’s departure he had taken up the case. The evidence produced showed that this territory consisted of a number of small pieces of land. Peiarce clearly stated that the admission of the Maratha claim would be prejudicial to British prestige.
