¹ [Broughton records one of these disturbances in May 1809. Amīr Khān seized Malhār Rāo Holkar and his principal ministers, whereupon the regular infantry pretended to mutiny and trained their guns on the main army. About July 1809 there was an attempt to assassinate Holkar, and in September a further attempt to poison his wife and child. (Letters from a Mahratta Camp, Constable, 1892, pp. 104, 204.)]
