By the proclamation issued at Sátára on the 10th of February 1818 annexing to the British dominions the territories of the Peshwa; with certain specified exceptions, the tract of country in question had become British territory. As soon as military operations ceased it was placed in charge of Mr. Chaplin, a Madras Civil Servant, who was appointed, under Mr. Mountstuart Elphinstone, principal Collector of the Marátha Country south of the Krishna and Political Agent with the Rája of Kolhápur and the Southern jaghirdárs. The intention of Government at the time was that the Southern Marátha Country should eventually form part of the Madras Presidency; but it was finally decided by the Court of Directors that it should continue to form part of the territory subject to the Government of Bombay.
