In 1638, Sir William Courten, under a grant from the same king, sent out four ships which robbed Indian vessels and tortured their crews. For these misdeeds of their fellow-countrymen, the innocent servants of the E. I. Co. at Surat were kept in prison for two months, and released only on the payment of Rs. 1,70,000 as compensation. \[Ibid, 2-6.\] - [Previous: v5.c83.s8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v5.c83.s8.1) - [Next: v5.c83.s8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v5.c83.s8.3) - [Up: v5.c83.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v5.c83.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v5.c83.s8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v5.c83.s8.2) · Pramāṇa
