states:—
I remember seeing Abdoolla on the morning of Monday, the 9th, at about
6-30 ; he came into the dispense khana to prepare the butter as usual. I was
cleaning the candle-sticks, &c., as usual. I know the time because the Sahib's
horse came a long time afterwards about 7 o'clock. I saw Faizoo come into
the dispense khana shortly after Abdoolla came there. Faizoo went from there
to the dining-room. The dining-room was not ready at that time for the table
to be laid. The hamals never go into the dining-room so early as 6-30.

named Salam come to the servants' quarters. He usually goes to Faizoo's room
and there sits and talks with him. I only remember seeing Salam when the
Maharaja's sowaree comes. Salam alone of the Maharaja's private attendants
has been in the habit of going to the servants' quarters.
I have seen Faizoo sometimes preparing sherbut for the Resident. I re-
n^ember that he prepared it one day lately, but I am not quite sure as to the
exact day. * *•
I have seen a Mussulman who is called the "Kazee" come to Faizoo's
quarters on several occasions, and have seen him sit and talk with him. I do
not know what the Kazee's name is, or what he comes for.
I have been in the service of my present master about five years. Since I
have been at 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. no one has ever solicited me to give information or
