To—Seceretary to the Government o£ Bombay.
I n continuation of my letter, No. 331-1139 of 1874, dated yesterday, I
have the honor to report that Mr. Dadabhai Nowrojee told me this morning
that orders had been issued yesterday evening to suspend all further proceed
ings against the Sirdar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Kudu. I asked him whether he.had requested Kudu
to tender an apology for the alleged offence, but he said that he had not. 1 was
led to conclude, however, that the case was at an end, and up to the time of
my writing this report (3 o'clock p.m .) I have heard nothing further from the
Durbar A public or private audience held by a high-ranking British colonial representative (e.g. Viceroy, Governor-General, or member of the British royal family). on the subject.
2. I have learnt privately, however, from a reliable source that no com
munication was yesterday made to the assembled Sirdars Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. and Silledars as recom
mended in paragraph 7 of my Report of that date; and consequently that at
the time of Mr. Dadabhai's visit to the Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. this morning the whole of
the Silledars, &c., were still assembled at Sirdar Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. Kudu's house, where they had
remained all night. It is said, however, to have been intimated to them this
morning that Mr. Dadabhai himself would go to speak to them in the course
of to-day. The danger of such dilatoriness needs no comment.
3. I have frequently during the last year or so brought to the notice of
Government the serious results that may at any moment ensue from the Sirdars Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
and other Military classes of the State being in arrears of pay for upwards of
three years; and 1 have been informed that the danger of an emevte has lately
been heightened in consequence of the three Regular Native Infantry Regiments,
&c., of the Gaekwar's household Brigade being also four months in arrears,
which I am informed has never before happened since they were raised, and that
consequently they too have now become nearly as discontented as the Sirdars Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division. ,
Silledars, &c., above referred to.
