A History of the Mahrattas v2.c55.33

v2.c55.33

The services of Colonel Close during this year were called for, on a very important occasion, to Hyderabad, and he never returned to his situation at Poona. Mr. Henry Russell succeeded to the temporary charge of that Residency, until the return of Mr. Elphinstone from a mission to Cabul,¹ and the same harmony continued to prevail. Khoosroojee, though a servant of the British Residency, had been permitted to accept the high office of Sursoobehdar of the Carnatic under the Peishwa’s government, and he appointed as his deputy a Bramin named Bappoo Sawney.
