A History of the Mahrattas v1.c22.7

v1.c22.7

This arrangement was effected during the absence of Sreeput Rao Pritee Needhee, who had been sent into the Concan by the Raja. The Pritee Needhee, being the friend of Kanhojee Bhonslay, endeavoured to obtain some mitigation of his sentence and proposed that Akola and Balapoor in Berar Payeen Ghaut should be restored on condition of his maintaining two hundred horse; but it does not appear that this arrangement was carried into effect. Kanhojee was an officer of great enterprise; he had made some partial conquests in Gondwaneh, and headed one incursion into Kuttack. He died at Satara, after having lived there many years a prisoner at large.
