v3.c38.s8.28
Browne had personally settled a peace between Shafi and Ranjit Singh, by which the Jat Rajah was to pay Rs. 90,000 and the Mughal general was to restore the district of Bayānā forming the jagir of prince Randhir Singh. This money had been deposited with Browne, who had brought it to Delhi for payment. But Afrāsiyāb refused to confirm the terms and demanded more money. Browne’s prestige being thus lowered in public and his ally Abdul Ahad proving a broken reed, he handed this money back to Lal Singh the Bharatpur bakhshi.
