v1.c29.12

A.D. 1762.—After the conclusion of the treaty the young Peishwa, attended by Trimbuck Rao Mama, maternal uncle of the late Sewdasheo Chimnajee Bhow, was sent into the southern territory for the collection of revenue,² and Nizam Ally returned towards Beder, where he imprisoned Sulabut Jung in the month of July,³ and about fifteen months afterwards secured his usurpation by the murder⁴ of a brother, whose natural imbecility would have prevented his ever becoming a formidable rival whilst unsupported by a foreign power.
