³ [Wazīr Ali, the deposed Nawāb of Oudh, murdered Mr. Cherry, the British Resident at Benares, on January 14, 1799. He took refuge in Jaipur, and the Rāja, having made terms with the British, "treacherously delivered him up." He was confined in Fort William, Calcutta, where he died in 1817 (J. Mill, *op. cit.* iii. 469 ff.).]
