His Highness on the subject.” The
impertinence of the Belooch was
daring to question the right of the
Khan, his Sovereign, before Colonel
Phayre, and asking the latter’s per
mission to address his own Khan
This was most disrespectful to the
Khan, and ought to have met with
immediate rebukeA Its not heino* so
would be regarded ^y the Belooch,
as marking that his yiew of the case
was the correct one,\ and that he
could put the British \ Officer before
the Khan, which I hold\he did, when
he asked permission of> the former
to address the latter. TIM is what
was regarded as ignoring fee Khan,
and it is not explained to have been
otherwise.

62. This is an instance of fee
very unsatisfactory, and I mat say,
reckless, way in which Colonel
Phayre quotes particular sentences
from records, when he finds they suit
particular points he is desirous "
urging, without stating whether si
sentences are correct data to go upon,
or whether they are not modified, if
not entirely altered by others that
follow. This quotation is taken from
a very valuable sketch of States and
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. connected with the Prontier
of Upper Sind, drawn up by General
Jacob in September 1851, and is to
be found in the printed records of the
Sind Horse, 2nd volume, page 195.
In the opening part, it is generally
stated that, putting aside the Bhawul-
poor State, “ the others (meaning
tribes) may be naturally arranged
under there heads.
“ —The tribes residing beyond
British territory, and de facto in
dependent of any other State.
“ 2nd .—The State of Khelat, with
the individual border tribes, its sub
jects.
“ Zrd .—The border tribes, British
subjects, living within the British
Frontier.
“ Independent tribes .—Under the
first head are comprised the Khetra-
nees, the Lusharees, the Gorechanees,
the Kujjucks, and Baroozies ot
Seebee, and the predatory hill tribes,
the Boogtees and the Murrees.”
62. You are aware that General
Jacob classifies the Barokzyes of Seebee
and the Murree and Boogtee clans,
with certain others on the Punjab bor
der, as ec . independent tribes residing
beyond British territory, and de facto
independent of any other State.”
