SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS ON THE NORTH-WEST
FRONTIER OF SIND, UP TO THE CLOSE OF THE
YEAR 1847.
W hen the British forces first entered the country in
1839, the position of these tribes was as has been already
described under the proper head.
After the hill campaign in 1845, that portion of the
Doombkee tribe which had surrendered at Trukkee was
placed under a chief, by name Jummal Khan, on lands
near Janadeyra, on the Sind Frontier.
Durya Khan and Toork Ali, with the Jekranees and
some men of other clans, were settled at Janadeyra itself
and its neighbourhood.

that they would now take to agricultural pursuits, and
entirely leave their former predatory habits.
A commissioner was appointed to reside at Janadeyra,
and superintend the reformed Beloochees.
A strong detachment was posted at Shahpoor, in Kut-

before described.

Doombkees, Jekranees, Kosahs, Hoordees, &c., with or
without permission, made repeated plundering excursions
from British Sind into the neighbouring countries, both

into Sind : murder and robbery everywhere prevailed.

protect the people. Hie people themselves were encouraged
to beai aims, and to commit acts of violencej the lives and
