In the same manner, by a separate Farman, " the place of Fallahiyell 3 ;,
as being e< part of the jurisdiction of His Excellency Shaikh Khazal Khan
was bestowed on him, also " as perpetual property/^ subject to payment
of " the usual annual revenue " and non-transfer of his proprietary rights

in those lands the possessory rights of ownership of every kindand
power of resuming this grant, also, was formally renounced by the

In Shaikh Khaz^al the British Government found a strong and well
