When in search of materials for an historical and descriptive account of ^t^- Malabar, I found a year or two ago, among the Tellicherry Factory Records, a hJ'i^^ Collection in Portuguese manuscript of the early Engagements made between the / h.ija^l Honourable Company's Factors, at Tellicherry and Anjengo, and the Country I jij2^ tt-^ Powers with whom they came into contact. It occurred to me to supplement this (f-^tt^ Collection from the records, and to print the whole so as to bring together, within /^^ "- convenient compass for District administration purposes, a series of papers, as com- n ih-t" plete as possible, exhibiting the relations, past and present, between the British ^ ^tJ- Government and the ancient nobilic}^ of the District, to whom one-fifth part of the ^ (^ Revenues of the District for the year 1800-1 (M. E. 976) is paid as Malikana, 1/-^/ This Collection has accordingly been divided into two Parts ; viz.. Part I, , i^/ treating of the period prior to the Treaty of Seringapatam, contracted with Tippoo /T*''*^^ Sultan in 1792, under which Malabar fell to the Company's share as a portion of ^"^ ^ ^„.~ — ... ^.„-, — — — — — J — J .- , — _. /^ the Cessions made by Tijipoo to the Allies ; and Part II, treating of the period ^^^^fj subsequent to 1792, down to the present day. nrt^t^ 2 The Collection now published is, I think, pretty nearly, if not quite, exhaus- ^(^^^^f ^ tive. It may have happened that some papers have escaped notice among the very (^'^ ■ g voluminous records still preserved, and records now missing may have contained « ^ others ; but I am satisfied that no papers of any great importance remain undis- covered. In the Tellicherry Factory Diary, under date the 6th May 1728, there is an entry giving a detailed list of books an I papers preserved at that time in the Factory ; and from it I gather that the Calicut Journals and Ledgers commenced 1?-^.J" from April 1st 1675, and those of Tellicherry from August 1st 1701 ; while the Gen-, eral Letter Book of Tellicherry dated from October 24th 1699, and the Telli- cherry Diary and Consultation Books from August 1st 1725. JV,; , ; a* Nos. IV to X, and XV to XVII, of Part I are therein specifically alluded to, No. IV being thus described : — " A grant that any Mallabarr having accounts with us must put his hand in Oyle to prove the verity thereof, given Anno 1710." No allusion is made to Nos. I to III or to No. XIII. I have nevertheless not hesitated to print them as authentic, seeing that the Portuguese Mansucript, above alluded to, which was evidently kept for ready reference by the Linguists or Tupay^, wlio conducted the correspondence of the Company with the Country Powers, has them entered, in their proper chronological order, along with those which are referred to in the Diary entry above alluded to. The only other early treaty or engagement I have come across, between the British and any of the Mala- bar Chiefs, is that of Captain Keeling with the Zaraorin, dated in 1615, which will be found printed in extenso in Day's " Land of the Perumals," I did not include it in this Collection because it led to nothing definite and was only made by the Zamorin to induce Captain Keeling to give him assistance in the undertaking be '1 had then on hand. »| On the other hand, the Anjengo Diaries contain no similar list of books o and papers preserved in that Factory; but in the Diary of 18th Auo-ust 1804, ' in a letter from the Commercial Resident to the Governor of Bombay, he states, '■'!• r." f~^ ' > -TV f— II with reference to a question relative to a cbargo debited in the Company's books ao-ainst the Kottudali Farm (an integi'al portion of Anjengo now leased to tlie Travancore Government, vide No. CCLXXXVII) that " almost the wliole of the records and books of this settlement prior to the last 40 years have been destroy- ed by white-ants several years ago." An English translation, however, of No, XVIII, being an agreement made by the Queen of Attinga with the Chief and Factors on a silver olla, appears in their Uiary of the 20th January 1803, where- in the name of its writer " Tivan Changaren" (as customary in Malayalam cor- respondence) is given, and the silver olla appears to have borne the signature " Shri Tulliom" (Sign Manual.) In the Diary of 10th May 1808, it appears that the Resident forwarded to Bombay a deposition from his Head Linguist, in which it is stated that " in the year 1717-lS, the Chief, John Brabon Esquire, entered into a icritten Agreement with Her Highness, wherein she confirmed all the former privileges to the Com- pany and granted permission to build two factories, one at Edowah an I the other at Brinjohn, and in the year 1729 she signed the silver olla of which a translate is inserted in the Diary;" and added that " Enclosed is a copy of the silver olla in my possession alluded to by the Linguist." The agreement of 1717-18, which is not entered in the Portuguese Manu- script, is probably the earliest toritten one concluded by the Factors ; as in the same deposition of the aforesaid Linguist it is stated that " the English obtained permission from the Princess of Attingah in the year 1690 to build a fort at An- jengo," but '' whether written or verbal cannot be ascertained." Nos. XI, XII and XIV are not alluded to in the records now extant ; but as the Portuguese Col- lection has them, I have, for the reason already advanced, preserved them in this Collection. It would appear from the Diary of 1810, under dates the 2nd to 23rd November, that on the transfer of the Settlement from the Bombay to the Madras Government, when it was placed under the Political Resident of Travancore and Cochin, an Inventory was made of the effects and records of the Factory on de- ivery of charge. But no copy of it is on record in the Diary. No. XX is alluded to in the Diary, dated 1 1th April 175.3, in connection with a claim set up by certain Bi'ahrains of Trevandrung Pagoda, through the Rajah of Travancore, to the Kottudali Farm; whereupon " the Chief produced the oUas signed by his present Majesty and the Queen of Attingah — the 10th January 1 73 1, and referred him (the Rajah's messenger) thereto, where he may see the same with its rights and privileges firmly made over to the Hon'ble Company and their heirs for ever." As the searching of the records proceeded, very many other papers of inter- est and importance to District Officers came to light, and it became difficult to decide what should, and what should not,be included in the work. The ])erioddown to the date of the fall of the Payashi Rajah in 180.') (after which permanent ])eace was secured to.the District) has been treated in this way moi'c liberally than the period which followed that event. As there will be a few copies of the work for sale to the public, it seems necessary to explain briefly, for the benefit of the general reader, the constitution of a Malabar Chieftain's family or Taratoad in order to prevent confusion of ideas • •• 111 fts to tlie vnrious " Kings," " Queens," " Princes," " Princes Regent," " Governors,' " Bavnor," &c., with whom the Company's Officers came into contact. And it seems also necessary to give a short outline t)t'the political organization of the country before it passed into Mysorean and subsequently into British hands. Malabar, as ihe British found it when the Factories at Tellicherrv and An jengo were established, was ruled on feudal principles, Tne Kolattiri or Colastri or (as now called) Cherakal family ruled in the north; the Kottayam or Cotiote family with their connections, the Kurumbranad family, ruled in the eastern centre, including Wynad; the Kadattanad family, as feudatories of the Kolattiri, in the western centre ; and the Zamorin was acknowledged as the Suzerain Lord of all tlie south, except perhaps the small territories still remaining at that time to the \'allabha (Vellatre) and to the Palghaut Rajahs. Subordinate to them were many petty Chieftains, who enjoyed varying degrees of independence and ruled each his own portion of territory, which was usually designated a Nad or county, and who were ordinarily styled Nadavalis or Valunavars (corruptly Bavnor or Roynore). Subordinate to the Nadavalis came other petty Chieftains who, as De- shavalis, ruled each his own Desham or parish. Subordinate to the Desham came the Tara about which it is unnecessary to say more at present. A Malayali Taraivad corresponds pretty closely with That the Romans called a getis ; with this important distinction, however; that, whereas, in Rome all members of the gens traced their descent from a common ancestor ; in Malabar, the members of a tarawad trace their descent from a common ancestress. In Malabar, the big tarawads set apart property for the common use. So long as that common property exists, any number of families may hang together and form one tarawad. Every member of a tarawad has an equal share in the common stock — a baby an hour old has the same share as an old man of 80 years. No member can claim his share, but the tarawad, as a hodg, can, of course, make any division it pleases of the common stock. When such a partition takes pla^e, the tarawad becomes disintegrated into so many tarawads as the members may have settled to form among themselves. This process of disintegration goes on con- tinually, except among the highest classes, who pride themselves in maintaining a large common stock. But even among them, the tarawad gets split up into sub- divisions, locally known as talvaris or branches. A member with perhaps some as- sistance from the common stock, but more usually with the assistance obtained from his father (who of course under the Mariimahatayam system stands in no recognized legal relation to his children) sets out from the tarawad house and lives apart, taking with him one or more female relatives (usually a sister or sisters) and thus founding a separate family or branch (talvari) of the tarawad. When a branch of a Rajah's family is thus founded, it is styled a Kovilagam. That word, inflected, becomes EToyi'Zar/i'/ifft, and in speaking the v and the 7 are often elided, and the word is pronounced as if it were Koilotta : hence the words "Culotta," "Culote" and " Quilon" (KoUam) &c., as they were corruptly written in the old records. To understand then the manner in which the governing power of a Malayali Rajah was distributed in the old days, it will be best to take an actual example, and that of the Zamorin Rajah of Calicut's Tarawad seems to offer the best illustration. Theoretically, the head of the tarawad is the eldest female of all IV the Kovilagams ; and there wore at the time when Malabar fell to the British, as there are still, three of them ; viz. — 1. The) Eastern orKelakka Kovilagam. 2. The Western or Padinyara. 3. The New or Puthia. The eldest female enjoys certain of the common lands attached to what is called the Ambadi Kovilagam. and is regarded as the holder of a Sthanam, or dignity. Next after her follow in succession the five eldest males of the tarawad, who staiid in the order of their respective ages, and who are known respectively as : — 1. The Zamorin, Samuri or Tamuri klajah. 2. Eradipad or Eralpad. 3. The Munalpad. 4. The Edatralpad, -5. The Nedutralpad. To each of them a certain portion of the tarawad property is allotted to en- able him to maintain his Sthanam or dignity, and he is called a Kur Vaycha or Joint Kuler. As soon as a member of the tarawad attains to a sthanam or diginity, he, theoretically, loses his place in the Kovilagam of his origin ; but practically, now, when there are no political powers to be exercised, he, if a man of some parts, is allowed to manage the common property of his branch. It was not so, of course, in the old days, when armies had to be led and the functions of a ruler discharged. Then, practically, the domestic affairs of each Kovilagam were left to be looked after by the oldest lady resident therein; helped, of course, by advice and assist- ance from those of her male relations whose services were not required on the field or in the hall of Justice. The eldest female of each Kovilagam is still, theoretically, and to a considerable extent practically, the manager of its affairs. The Zamoi'in Ra>ah was not always the actual ruler. He, of course, distri- buted the commands throughout his territory to his juniors, retaining in his own hands as much, or as little, of the power as he cared to exercise directly. Some- times, when from ill-health or other causes he felt himself unable to exercise his functions directly, a Prince Regent would supply his place. A work of this kind is of comparatively little use unless there is appended to it an exhaustive Index. Such an Index will be found at the end of Part II ; and for it, as well as for much laborious work in searching the voluminous records from which these have been gathered, in translating the Portuguese Manuscript, alluded to, into English, and inseeingthe work througli the Press, I am exceedingly indebted to Mr. Robert William Frank of the CoUectorate Office, Inde2d, without his most valuable assistance, it would have been quite impossible for me to have spared sufficient time from my other duties to complete this work. Of the many errors and faults scattered through the two Volumes, I am fully cognizaut. The first 86 pages of Part I were printed at the CoUectorate Press, and the rest of the wox'k at the Minerva Press, belonging to a private indi- vidual. Neither of the Pres.ses had suitable type for accurately transliterating th© Vernacular words which occur ; but this is a point of minor importance, seeing that the work is chiefly designed to assi.st the District Officei's, whose acquaintance with Malayalam will prevent their being misled.

Touching Coringhoda and liis country, that he remains a common friend to both and lias liberty to visit Factors ou 31st January either, without giving the least jealousy or distrust. — 9 — He shall not assemble people, nor make any prepara- tion of war, without first advising us and obtaining our consent. Notwithstanding this friendship, if he should happen to have any discord with either of us, we jointly will endeavour to pacify him ; but if he should continue obstinate, and perserve in his design of molesting either, we together are obliged with force to quiet him ; if it should happen that he is inclined to give disturbance to any of the Powers in the country of || Irribenaadu, we will not permit him ; and if, on the contrary, they should aim at molesting him, we jointly will use means to hinder them, first amicably, but if that will not do, we agree jointly to assist Corringhoda in the manner we may judge reasonable, as we are likewise to do to '" Narrangport Nayar ; if any of those attempt to disturb him, he, at the same time, not being permitted to hurt others, and if the said Narrangport should happen to have any difference with Corringhoda, or the latter with him, we are to be the Arbitrators thereof. The said Corringhoda shall not make or raise fortifi- cations or any appearance of things offensive or defensive in any place, which may give us suspicion of his neigh- bours in Irribenaadu, without first having our permission ; if he should act contrary, we will oblige him to raze such. His country shall be open and free to both to go and come, that we may communicate with all security and tranquillity. That he may be the more inclined to this union, and that his country may be the more free for our communication, he shall enjoy freely the lands to the southward and eastward of Ponella Putinah, Ponella Mal- la and Tirimalla according to what is assigned him, and lined out by Messrs. Nicalao De Lorme and Lewis Dei- dur. in behalf of the French Company, and Robert Adams and Stephen Law, in behalf of the English. 2. If either of us should know of any designs of the Country-people against any one of us, we are obliged to give notice thereof to each other, thereby to prevent the evil intentions of the Country-people. Neither of us can war with Corringhoda separately, but must do it jointly or with the consent of each other, and even not then, till we have used all possible ways for a pacification. Neither of us can assist Corringhoda directly or indirectly with men, arms, artillery, powder, shot, rice or money, nor even with advice against each other, but rather must prevent his giv- ing any disturbance. 3. To prevent the evil of desertion of whatever nation, either white or black, or even servants or slaves, we reci- procally are obliged to deliver them_ up again whenever and 14th February, and Articles drawn up on 19 February 1728. A f resb clause ( 5th ) was added " to the former articles in Portuguese," and they were executed by thio Cliief and Factors and the French, on 9th March 1728, and finally settled on ~ April 1728. Ratified by the Bombay and Pondicherry Govern- ments on 20th September I'l'/Q and 22nd Septem- ber 1 780, respectively.

These Articles were approved and accepted, on the part of the Royal Company of France, by Messrs. Nicalao De Lorme, Lewis Deidur &c. and by Messrs. Robert Adams and Stephen Law &c. on the part of the English Company, but whereas it was thought convenient by the English, first, to obtain the approbation of the Honourable President and Council of Bombay, it is agreed, in the interim, the eaid Articles be observed, and adhered to with the utmost strictness. Signed in Tellicherry, this 9th March, 1727/8. Robeit Adams, De Lorme. Stephen Law. Deidur. By virtue of the powers given to the English of Tel- licherry from the Honourable President and Council of Bombay, and to the French of Mahe from the General &c. of Pondicherry, it is agreed that the foregoing Articles, with the subsequent explications, shall be executed, and hereafter observed with the utmost strictness and regard. 1. That the foregoing Agreement shall be firmly ob- served on both sides, witliout committing the minutest violence or insult, directly or indirectly, to the Forts and Factories of either, on shore, nor to the vessels of each other Avithin sight of the colours of Tellicherry and Mahe, notwithstanding there should be a war between our Crowns '' - ., in Europe, unless either of our Companies order to the con- trary; and if so, immediately notice shall be given thereof. 2. For the better explanation of the fourth Article in — li- the foregoing Treaty, touching the price of pepper, it is reciprocally understood that we consult each other, as often as is necessary, before any considerable purchase is made, that the price thereby may be lessened, as much as possible, for the common benefit of each Company. 17 Signed in J Moylon Fort, 28 April 1728.

Information of what had transpired with the heiress of the house of || Adiraja of Cannanore wlien I, Domingo H Rodrigues, went thither by ""'■ order of Mr. Stephen Law, Chief of the Council Board of Tellicherry. Conferring about t Darmapatam, as we were appre- hensive that the French were coming to the place, as they were in treaty with the King of J Cotioto, and also that the Canarese were coming beforehand to encamp there, either of which case being injurious to the interests of the Honourable Company, I was charged to see the said heiress at Cannanore to remedy the evil, as she may listen in good part to our taking possession of it, since, in other times, it was the place of the Moors (Moplas). That she may not suspect that we have great interest in taking that place, and not disturb her with any such idea, I proposed first of the pc'ils whicli thrcaien, should that place fall into the hands of others, as she Lad herself in« - 15 - formed u^^, with all ccrtcainty, and if falling in the handa of the French or Canara, it would bo of great danger to the Honourable Company, and lo her very Cannnnore ; that should we take the place off' the hands and power of Princes of PallicuUotu and Cotiotc, we would deliver it over to her that she may keep it, as it was her ancient pos- session, and thus she vvUl have her place, and we will be delivered of all possible anxieties and inconveniences. It appeared to her, that supposing she took possession of the place, as it was sought after by the French, and desired by Canara, she was not able to guard it, as she was helpless. I answered, quickly, that she should not give up the place, it having so many pretenders, and that cer- tainly the French seek much to get it, and seeing this, it was good that the English Company took possession of it at once. She replied that it appears to her now, that it would be very do irable tlie Engliyh Company should take the place ; but that it might be for views other than those appearing at present. But I said ; "I advise, lady, that " if the English Company take the place, they will pro- " tect it with strong buildings and people, and should God " help, in time, to clear these clouds, which overhang, it " might be you would desire to possess it," and I also advis- ed regarding the difficulties which would then ensue, and she may not get it, but as a favour, as the Company would wish to have their expenses paid, and to possess it, as the expenses vi accovmt of the fortification and European gar- rison will 1 e heavy, and which she may be unable to pay. She reph'd to me, in the presence of her counsellors, that however it might be, if it could not be taken, she would be more ^1 ^d it should remain in the power of the English, as the pL'.re is, at all events, lost to her, and, being in the hands of the Nairs, it ran the risk of falling into the hands of the French. But knowing her disposition, and fearing tliat should I accept it, v/ithout further question, it would appear that the offering of the place to her was only an ostensible, and not our real intention, I hinted that she may take it, and to serve her, we would take possession of the place and keep it for one month, and after this she may send her people to take charge, and for greater security, the English Com- pany may make a fort and place her flag in the said place, for vhich she can determine the amount of subsidy, as expenses, and if she could keep it without our forces, she can alio so determine. At this proposal she thought over, and told me that this can be done, but still it must be better considered, and — 10 — § Known as Chowcara Mussa, a wealthy Moplah trader.

XXV. Letter from the |i heiress of the house of Adiraja of Cannanore to the Chief. 3rd December, 17.31. Regarding *Darmapatam, after the conference with, and rei urn of, the Linguist, and having considered it does not appear convenient to us to take it, as on taking poss- ession of the place, in case the ships of Canara should come, it might bring about cause for disunion with the Company and displeasure of yourself, both of which we wish to guard against ever happening. Considering all the circumstances, we conceive that we cannot hold poss- ession of, or remain in that place. It is better that you take possession of it, regarding which the Linguist has been written to, more distinctly, and sent by the Writer. The Linguist \viU signify every thing to you better, and with greater clearness. Recommending ourselves to your good friendship. XXVI. Another from the same, and of the same date, to Senhor Domingo Rodrigues. Regarding what was conferred about t Darmapatam, Canara has heard that we were going to take it, and it is two days since his people came hither enquiring and speaking of such things. As it appears to us now, that it is not convenient, at present, to take the place, and that you may not be prevented, on our account, we shall be satisfied if that place remains in the power of the English Company. To write in this manner, through the Writer, after having confeiTod witli you, we hope, will not appear wrong to the Chief and yourself. We now send Mussa, the Writer ; he will speak to you thnt it is proper that you should take possession of the place at once.

That by virtue of this explanation of the 3rd article of the Treaty aforesaid, we will reciprocally and equally return to each other, all soldiers, sailors, slaves and domestics, deserters that shall be reclaimed and their par- don granted, though they should not have directly come from our garrison, but if they come from any other Fac- tory of our Company's or if they come from Europe or any wise and this, hona Jide, without any connivance. 3. That such soldiers and sailors, white or black, or domestic or slaves, liable to be remanded and shall be delivered up on either side, having their pardon according to the Treaty aforesaid, may nevertheless be punished afterwards for the faults that might occasion their desertion with a mild chastisement by authority of the Commander of the place, such as he shall judge i-easonable, but they shall not be tried by a Court, civil or martial, as their par- don ought at least to exempt them from any grievous pains or from death. 4. That on neither side, protection shall be granted to soldiers, white or black, of our garrisons, wdio shall make a mutinous desertion by assembling with their arms and baggage, or without them, or being upon guard shall quit their posts ; on the contrary, the commander of the place, they may seek refuge and protection in, shall without any difficulty immediately return, or deliver them up with- out any condition for them, wherever they can be found in his district. 5. That there shall be no protection in our respective colonies for the soldiers of our garrisons, white or black, or for the domestics of the Company, or any employed by the Company, wlio shall fly or desert by reason of any assassinations, murders, robberies, or such public enormi- ties ; but that, on the contrary, the Commander of the 21 place, they shall or may fly for refuge to, shall secure and deliver them up to the Commander of the nation they belong to, without any conditions. 6. That there shall be public order given in our colonies forbidding the inhabitants to give shelter to any deserters, or to conceal them in their houses, or other- Avise, on pain of pecuniary and arbitrary fines, or even corporal punishment, to avoid which they shall be obliged to rejjort all strangers, that shall seek shelter with them, to the Commander of the place they are subject to, witli- in twenty-four hours, 7.

We shall entirely fulfill the ancient treaties made with the English. 2. Regarding the facto:^ of ''' Onore, should the Factors establish there, they should observe the ancient settlements and cannot make the least alteration. 3. The vessels and ships of the English which may, by any disaster on this coast, be cast away on our shores, we shall punctually restore them in the maimer of ancient agreements without there being any doubt on this point. 4. In the countries, which we may conquer from Colastri, all the contracts of pepper and cardamom in them should be made by the English Company in the same manner, which were made with the Colastri Rajah by the said Company, who shall also pay the Acllamy or duty on the said pepper and cardamom in the manner paid to the Colastri Rajah. 5. Except the contracts of the English Company, which are for pepper and cardamom, other contracts may be made by any other person, and the English Company cannot prevent them. 6. The ships of the Company, that of the General of Bombay, and the vessels of the Chief Mayor of Tellicherry and t Munchuas of Tupay coming to our ports for trade in rice and other articles, will pay the duty of " Coddivisa" as was done anciently and no " Adlamy" Avill be taken from them, which was collected lately, and thus they will be free of Adlamy. But merchant vessels coming with the English flag shall pay the usual Adlamy. 7. "We have given to the English Company the fort of X Muddacary which they may retain possession of, and carry on trade in. 8. From § Baliapatom to the south, two places belong to the Company, viz. • || Puteny and Punole Mala, and — SI — this State having no design against the Company, so there will be none intended against these places. 9. The Company should have no design against the fort, which stands on the hill of Monaboto, which lies beyond Baliapatam, as well as, against the forts, which may be built hereafter. In this manner it should be always observed towards this State, helping it. 10. The English Company should not give ajiy help or favour to those, who are enemies of this State. 11. The English Company will supply all powder and balls to our army recovering their price, and should not prevent the supplies, which come for the army. They will always give help and favour, and thus keep for ever this Covenant of Peace, and the English Company xVill be firm in the service of this Stete. XLIV.

The said Ho- nourable United English East India Company being resolved and determined to suffer no infringement in their Trade and Commerce and that every one may be appi'ized thereof, this Declaration is ordered to be affixed at their several Factoi'ies in the East Indies. — 94 — Given at Tellicherry iu the Factory of the Honourable English Company, this 2nd day of May 1749.

Major-General Abercromby, being on the point of departure from Cannanore, at the time of the meeting with the Rajah directed us on our arrival at Tellicherry to give this Certi- ficate of what was settled, which he would confirm on his return to Cannanore after the rains.

Hyder Ally Khawn Bahader and his son, Tippoo Sultan, destroyed this custom and after examining the value of the property of every person they fixed the revenue, which was to be paid, and this revenue, Tippoo Sultan delivered over to the Com- pany, the ancient custom is not to be renewed by the Rajah by giving back the lands free from tribute. The Company having their own troops do not want the military ser_ vice of the Nairs, and therefore as far as they are able from the produce of their lands and gardens they are to pay according to the §Jamma settled by Tippoo. 6th. — In the. same manner in ancient times grants were made of lands to the Pagodas, and to the Brahmins, all which lands were by Hyder and Tippoo brought to ac- * Vide note to No, XI. t Vide ditto.

These lauds are not to be given back on any account to the Brahmins, or any thing done tending to prejudice the revenues of the Company: they have to defend the country and this revenue must pay their troops. 7th. — Whereas it is the intention of the Governor-Ge- neral to send round persons* from Bengal to inspect the country, and to form rules for collecting the revenue, and for the administration of justice, the said Eajah obliges himself to agree to whatever the Honourable Company may think fit to ordain for the better management of their country and the improvement of the revenue. 8th. — Any ministers or other persons to be employed by the Rajah in the Government of the country or the col- lections of the revenue to be with the consent of the Ho- nomrable Company, by their representatives and if at any time any of them misbehave, they are to be dismissed. 9th. — There being in certain districts, balances due on account of the collections of the present year, an account is to be made of the same, when, orders will be given to collect, and the collections to be paid to the Company. 10th. — It being the desire of the Company to procure what pepper grows in these countries, they will appoint their own merchants to purchase it in the country ; no other merchants are therefore to be permitted to purchase, and every assistance is to be given to the Company's merchants; the price to be paid for said pepper to be hereafter settled. This or any other mode which may be thought better, the Rajah Wallabhan is to assist in.

On a repre- sentation to tlie Rajah of Koormenaad he willingly consents to surrender these two talooks. The countries of *Colamgoora tCoorvouri and jMangra annexed by Tippoo to the talook of fJPalyghat having an- ciently been ceded to the Zamorine have been held and — 27 collected by him since the expulsion of Tippoo; These countries together with the sea and land customs altogether estimated at Rupees four lakhs sixteen thousand three hundred and sixty six, one quarter (Rupees 4.16,366 — 1) as per an account hereafter euterted, are to be delivered over to the Zamorine for one year from the 1st day of the Malabar month JCanny, year 968, answering to about the 1st September 1792, English with full powers to make the collections, administer justice and all other right ceded by Tippoo Sultan to the English Company for which the said Zamorine agrees to pay to the Honourable Company by the hands of such persons as they may appoint, the sum of Rupees four lakhs sixteen thousand three huudred and six- ty six one quarter (Rupees 4,16,366 — 1) in the following manner. The sum of one lakh and fifty thousand Rupees ( 1,50,000 ) on the 1st of the month of §Danoo, answering to the 1st of December 1792, English. The sum of Rupees one lakh thirty six thousand three hundred and sixty six and one quarter (Rupee 1.36,366 — 1 on the 1st of the month of ||Minom, answering to the 1st of March 1793. The sum of Rupees one lakh and thirty thousand (Rupees 1,30,000) on the 1st of the Malabar month $Vidinom answering to about the 1st of June 1793, English: all these payments are to be truly and punctually made at the stated periods. 2nd. — The foregoing amount of Rupees four lakhs sixteen thousand three hundred and sixty six one quarter (Rupees 4,16,366-1) being founded on account of the value of the countries leased out, delivered by the Minister of the Zamorine and estimated at one half of the assessment levied l)y Arshed Beg Cawn^ in the' time of the Nawab Tippoo Sultaun, it is agreed that on the pai't of three Com- pany there shall be Inspectors to ascertain the exact amount levied on the countries as above stated, and it it is found that more is levied, the difference is to be paid to the Honourable Company. The value also of the sea customs is by computation, it is therefore also agreed that at this place there shall be persons to inspect on the part of the Honourable Company, and if the produce be more, the diflference is also to be paid to the Company. 3rd. — In the foregoing account is mentioned the re- venues to be received from the Rajahs of *Beypoor, fPerper- t Vide note to No. XI. § Vide ditto.

The amount payable being stated, his officer will have an order to receive it when due from the different Rajahs. 4th. — The Zamorine has represented that in ancient times the sovereignty of all these petty Rajahs, so far as related to the administration of ju.stice was in him, and therefore begged that he might still be permitted to ex- ercise this sovereignty; as the Commissioners do not per- ceive any harm in this, they willingly agree to it, subject to the general regulations intended hereafter to be made relative to the administration of justice. 5th. — That a moi'e full and particular account shall be framed as soon as possible of the value of the several countries leased out to the Zamorine to be delivered to the Commissioners, who will have a right on their part to appoint any person they please for the inspection of the said accounts. Paras 6 to 11 are indentical with paras h to 10 of No. XIII. 12th. — The assessment for this vear being rated at one-half of which it was by the account of Arshed Beg Cawn on a representation from the Zamorine that to levy more would distress the inhabitants of the country, the Za- morine engages that his representation is justl}' founded. The Company received the Malabar country in preference to more valuable countries in order to afford their protec- tion to the Malabar Rajahs and people; the return due from the Malabar Rajahs is justice, and good faith as to the revenues, and any deviation in this respect is a breach of the original agreement and will leave the Company at liberty to continue their protection or not, as they may think proper, t Mai. ^,1^6,^ croper power and controul in the general management of tlie country and receipt of the revenues.

THE ZAMORINE, By the ancient customs of the Malabar country, we learn that the Nairs, Brahmins and other landholders paid no tribute to the Rajahs for the land they held, being only obliged to attend them in war, but on the feasts of * Onam and Bishoo and other occasions, the Rajahs took presents from their subjects according to their cir- cumstances ; these ancient customs Tippoo Sultan destroyed and in lieu of it, he taxed the lands framing from these a Revenue, which Revenue he delivered over to the Company, and the Company has delivered it to be collected by you according to the written agree- ments. We have, however, of late heard that besides the Revenue framed by Tippu in many places, the Rajahs and their families have exacted, under the claim of ancient customs, presents from the subject of the Company on their several feasts and family ceremonies and that some have even claimed a f proportion of the effects of dead people ; this we consider as a great oppression on the inhabit- ants; they cannot afford to pay the Revenue as settled by Tippoo Sultan, and comply also with the customs of ancient times. We therefore notice this to you and direct that in future you only col- lect the revenue from the latd as settled by Tippoo and according to your agreements with the Company strictly forbidding all ^Pro- tikars $ Karrialcars and others from exacting presents from the people under any pretence whatever and any instances we hear of, after this notice given to you, we shall cause to be sevcrly punished.

A PROCLAMATION FOR A GENERAL AMNESTY. The Provinco of tlie Malabar having laboured for a series of yours under a dominion eudiug in a state of anarchy, civil bruils and utter intestine confusioH, insomuch that the swords of tlie one part of the subjects of the same country have been drawn against the ivther and every species of mutual injury committed ou each other without distinction of age, sex or condition, the Commissioners, ap- pointed for settling the ceded countries under the Bombay Govern- ment, considering tliis pernicious state of things,and wishing earnest- ly to fix such a (Tovernment in time to come as shall make all the inhabitants unite and live together ou terms of concord as becomes subjects of the same dominion, and to forget the evil days that have passed over them, and to let the inviduous distinction that then took place among them pass away into oblivion, liave therefore determi- ned that it would be neither politic nor just for the present Go- vernment to make a strict scrutiny into the manifold enormities com- mitted during the last twenty 5'ears in this country, in which view as a beginning towards that conciliation which they wish to promote amongst all ranks of men. It is merely declared that no acts of ho- micide, maiming, robbery or theft committed ^jijefta^-this-first-Qf.the^ present month of February shall be cognizable in any Court of Jus- _tic(i, and as Government have in the present instance evinced its merciful disposition towards those unfortunate persons, who, during the misery of the late times, have rendered themselves obnoxious to public punishment, so it is hoped and desired that this example may induce an equal forbearance and oblivion, and a total derelection of of all resentment in the minds of those, who may have suffered from such acts as the Government have thus ultimately and finally par- doned up to the date abovementioned, it being at the same time their most determined resolution to inflict the most exemplary pu- nishments on all such persons as shall offend against the public peace or private security of the life and property of any person whomsoever from the date aforementioned, wherefore let this proclamation be a warning to all men in time to come to observe a just and circumspect conduct towards each other and to deport themselves in all respects as become good and peaceful subjects; since those, who shall act in contrarily to this admonition, will not fail to experience that the Company's Government is as powerful to punish and restrain the most hardened and all the other offenders as it is inclined to show mercy in the manner above evinced to those with regard to the source of whose errors it isdifficult to pronounce whether and how farthey may have preceded from their own malignant dispositions or the in- fluence of the evil days in which they were committed.

I can assure you that upon examination my account will be discovered to be a true one, I am afraid that the account, which has been given to them, has been made out by my enemies, and in order to convince and satisfy the Coiii- missiouers, I agree to their sending, this year throughout the coun- try for which I pay tribute to the Company, their confidential agents that they may make an estimate or calculation of all the pepper vines, and the next year when the pepper is gathered their agents shall attend during the time, which is generally ten days, by which they will have it in their power to ascertain the quantity produced in my country and also whether the account I have given or that rendered by my enemies is right. I hereby agree to weigh and deliver to the Honourable Company on the sea beach of Chetwa- Manapooramf all the pepper that is found to be produced in my country for which I pay tribute by treaty also all the pepper pro- duced on the island of Chetwa i-eserving only for myself 20 candies.

And forasmuch as the great numbers of inferior §Chowkies for the collection of $Shungum or duties and tolls on merchandize must materially tend to the discourage- ment of trade and thereby to keep back the improvement of the country, it has been further agreed upon and ordered in view to the general good that all the said inland duties, tolls and customs and the places for the receipt of them be, from the date of this writing, for ever done away with and abolished, and that the duties on merchandize be only col- lected on export by sea or land to, or imports from the countries beyond the Honourable Company's province of Malabar, that is from ^Cavai to **Cochin. And as the duties that will thus remain to be collected will be levied solely ou the trade with foreign countries with whom the connection can only be maintained and cultivated by the Company's Government, so it is agreed that the management of these residuary duties shall be and remain with the Honourable Company to be regulated, increased and diminished as to — Gl — their rates as may best suit the pubhc interest with foreign nations, but a man on my part shall remain with the Com- pany's officers to keep an account of the Custom House receipts. 5.

If it shall be discovered that any person catching an elephant shall neglect to give the requisite notification within the time limited, as above stated, and particularly when such neglect shall appear to have proceeded from an intent to defraud the Circar then that pei'son on thus attempting to defraud shall be con- sidered as having lost all right and property in the said captured elephant, the whole of which will be accordingly adjudged as duly forfeited to the Honourable Company.

Article settled by William Gamul Farmer, Supravisor of the Pro - vince of Malabar with the Eaja of *Cartanad for the collection^ of the year 969.it The Raja in belialf of the t Jelm Kaars, Brahmins, Nairs, Moplas and other inhabitants of Cartanad delivered an I Ekraarnaina to the Commissioners at **Warkul which was accepted by the Commissioners thinking the Company were thereby entitled to one half of all that was produced. It however appeared afterwards that the Raja had under- stood only one half of the § Patoom or rent received by the Jemnkaars from their Carigurs or farmers or cultivators of the said estates, and he gave a petition accordingly to Mr. Duncan, which being referred to Mr. Farmer, Supra- visor of the Province of Malabar, he came to Mahe and there in presence of_all the $ Mookishnaars and Nairs and others of Cartanad assembled on the purpose, it was found to be true that the representation made in their name only meant to give half the Patoom or rent and not half the pro- duce in kind, Mr. Farmer finding that half the rent was too little for the Company to whom the country had been ceded by Tippoo and whose Jumabundy would perhaps include the whole of the Patoom, did, after many days con- versation with the Raja, in presence of the said Mookistmars so assembled to consult what was reasonable for the people and fair to the Company, settle as follows. 1st. — That of the Patoom or produce of the || Dhan- murry received from the cultivator i%ths are to be paid to the Company as ^ Negudi, the produce being receivable in kind, the Company's collectors may so receive it, or at vi^^^^^^ market price of the year, but as it was stated to be '^ more satisfactoryJ^o the_cultivator and all parties to settle a price the price was settled aty4^\ Rupees per mille Dan- galHes.lJ 2nd. — That in return for this favour the Raja agrees for himself and the Jemnkaars that the proper olas shall be produced showing the true Patoom or rent arising in the Dhanumurry or Nelly grounds and that any person who knowingly secretes the same, his Jomn to be forfeited to the Company. 3rd. — That in any Dhanmurry where there are no Jemnkaars or where the lands are not made over to Kanankaarsf t they are to be considered as belonging to the — 87 Company who will in course receive the whole of the Patoom. 4th. — It being very difficult to settle the Patoom or rent on *Purrams or garden lands it is agreed to levy the Negudi according to what was settled for the southward being as follows : — Cocoanut trees 1 fanam for two bearing: trees Bettlenut trees ... 6 for 1 fanam. Jack trees ... 1 for 1 fanam. Of the pepper this year half is to be taken by the Company and half to remain with the Jelmkaar or cultivator who has liberty to settle it for what price he pleases. 5th. — In making the inspection for this purpose th^ pepper vines shall be inspected and the bearing vines rated that the Government may hereafter settle whether they choose to receive the pepper in kind or to take the Negudi in money. 6th. — At the representation of the'Raja, and all the inhabitants of the impossibility to pay the Negudi accord- ing to what was settled for the southward in gold t laree fanaras especially if the inspection is fairly made, which to the southward it is not, it is agreed that the Negudi be rated in silver fanams for this year, an express condition that the Jenmkars of Cartanad &c. shall render a fair and true account, any person convicted by bribery or otherwise of rendering a false account his Jelm to be forfeited to the Company. 7th. — The Raja, as soon as possible, is to cause to be made the Survey necessary to settle this Negudi by people on his part in conjunction with the J Canongoes &c. others on the part of the Company to give an exact account of the real Jemnkaars, of what estates having no|heirs belong to the Company, and he is also to take care that no persons do anything to defraud the Company of their right to the landed possession, which may be without heirs.

Proposed terms for a Treaty of future perpetual friendship, al- liance, and subsidy between the Honourable East India Com- pany and Raja of Travancore, concerted between the Honour- able Jonathan Duncan Esq., Governor of Bombay, on the part of the Honourable Sir John Shore, Bart., the Governor General in Council of Fort William, in Bengal, in virtue of the powers vested in him by the King and Parliament of Great Britain and by the East India Company to direct and control the Political affairs of all the Company's Settlements in India, on the one part, and the said reigning Rajah of Travancore, on the other. In consideration of the Rajah's application to the Bengal Government in the month of September 1793, to have a pennanent Treaty concluded with the English East India Company, and to settle and fix the terms of their old friendship and alliance, and for the defence of his country against foreign enemies, the result is contained in the following Articles. Article 1st. — Before the breaking out of the last war between the Honourable Company and Tippoo Sultan, the three taluqs of Paroor, Alungar and Koonatnaar, made part of the Rajah of Travancore's country, and having by the said Sultan, been included in his cessions to the * VIJ» ?(i>. 11 Honourable Company by the *Treaty of Peace of the 18th of March 1792, the said Company do, in view to their an- cient friendship with and the plea of right preferred by the Rajah of Travancore renounce every claim that they may have had to the talooks in question, and the said three 119 — talooks, are accordingly left on the former footing as part of the said Rajah's Country. Article 3rd. — In consideration of the stipulation in the second article, the Rajah of Travancore doth engage for himself, and his successors to pay annually at Anjengo, both in peace and war, a sum equivalent to the expense of three of the Honourable Company's Battalions of sepoys, together with a company of European Artillery and two companies of Lascars. Article 7th.- — When the Company shall require of the Raja of Travancore any aid of his Troops to assist them in war, it shall be incumbent on the said reigning Rajah, for the time being to furnish such aid, to such extent, and in Buch numbers, as may be in his power from his regular In- fantry and Cavalry, exclusive of the native Nayrs of hia country, which succours thus furnishable by the Rajah as far as shall be consistent with the safety of his own country •hall be liable to be employed, as far by the Company's Government on either side of the peninsula, as to Madura and Calicut and to be, during such service at the Com- pany's expense and under their orders. Article 9th. — The Company engage not to impede in anywise the course of the rule or of the administration of the Rajah of Travancore's Government, nor at all to possess themselves or enter upon any part of what regards the management of the present Rajah's or his successor's country. At the same time it is provided that all the former Agreements between the Honourable Company and the Rajas of Travancore relative to the Settlements of An- jengo and *Eddowa or Erowa and to the Company's pri- vileges in respect to Trade throughout the Rajah's domin- ions remain in full force according to the practice hither- to, and as otherwise the object of this. Treaty is principally to provide for the purposes of external defence, it bears therefore no reference whatever to the R.ajah's situation as a ttributary to the Cavnatic, concerning which the Rajah of Travancore doth in the sincerity of his heart of his own accord acknowledge and declare that in the line of his former fealty, as from of old established, towards the Sircar of the Sooba of Arcot there shall never occur any difference or deviation. Article 1 1th. — The Company engage that none of the Rajahs of Malabar under their jurisdiction, shall be allowed •o commit excesses in the country or to encroach on the rights of the Rajah of Travancore or of his successors^, and * Mai, ««3nj.

Believing it highly advantageous to restore the tranquillity of this country for which reason and at the intercession of the Rajah of KooEiiiNAD as well as the promises of future good behaviour on the part of the Rajah op Cotioie I * have agreed to the following terms viz. + Tide note to Nn.XLVII The Kerol Wurma Rajah of Cotiote shall account as satisfactorily as he ma.y be able for the death of Mapillas of which settlement a copy is to be transmitted through the Commissioners to Bombay and he is patiently and dutifully to await the decision of that Government. During this re- ference the Rajah is to reside in the district of Cotiote, a quiet and peaceable inhabitant without authority under the directions and guardianship of his superior, the Rajah of Koorminaad. I promise to use my utmost endeavours to procure for this Rajah the Colghum of JPychi for his re- sidence and the detachment is in that case to be quartered in the Bazar. It was never the intention of Government to possess themselves of his property and to convince him and the country at large that it was placed only under a guard to prevent it from being stolen or plundered, I agree that such money and effects as have been in this manner seized shall be restored. As it is in every res- pect proper to cause a full, accurate and satisfactory en- quiry to be made into the Inventory, money and property which the Rajah's Carrigur, Chandoo, alleged to have been taken on that occasion, measures are to be concerted for this purpose and the strictest scrutiny made in the pres- ence of such agent or agents as the Rajah himself may appoint ; whatever shall be ascertained to have been taken on that occasion is to be returned to him or accounted for. The intention of Government was to oiake an enquiry into the past and to induce the Rajah of Cotiote to a more rea- sonable conduct in future.

The Commissioners for execiiting the office of Supra- visor in consequence of an interview between them and the senior and younger Rajahs of the JPerinjar Colgum have come to the following terms of final accomodation and friendship with the saidPerinjar Rajahs, and do accord- ingly bind themselves in the name of the Honourable Bast India Company for the due and faithful execution of such parts thereof as rest with the said East India Com- pany or their local Government in Malabar to accomplish, on condition of this Deed and the terms it contains meet- ing and receiving the full approbation of the Hon'ble the President in Council viz : — It having been represented by the said Commissioners, Thomas Wilkinson, Alexander Dow and Robert Rickards to the Elder Perinjar Rajah Maun Wicram, that his resi- dence at II Calaricote was exceptionable as well on other accounts as of the numerous complaints that had been pre- ferred to the said Commissioners of illegal acts either actually committed or alleged to have been committed by his authority, the said Elder Perinjar Rajah, Maun Wicrum placing his trust in the Honourable Company's Govern- ment does hereby declare his cordial acquiescence in the proposal made to him by the said Commissioners, Thomas Wilkinson, Alexander Dow and Robert Rickards to quit for ever hereafter his said residence of Calaricote and re- pair to Calicut for the purpose of residing in that place in all time, or if the Honourable the President in Council of Bombay shall think fit to authorize the indulgence of mak- ing the future place of his abode that which shall be the actual residence for the time being of the Zamorin or the legal and acknowledged Senior or Chief of the family, a measure which the said Elder Perinjar Rajah Maun Wi- crum, as well as the younger Perinjar Rajah called Maun Wicrum also (both formerly in a state of rebellion against the Company's Government) do now the more readily acquiesce in by way as well of evincing the friendly inten- tions of their hearts towards the Government in question as an earnest desire of i^emaining in future peaceable and faithful subjects thereof, and likewise of manifesting the implicit confidence which they repose in the assurances that they, the said Perinjar Rajahs have received, of future favour and protection, In consideration of which * Vide note to No. XIII.

By the above agreement the Ferinjar Rajahs * Balia Maun Wicrum and JCheria Maun Wicrum are further bound to relinquish all claims whatever to the possession or admi- nistration of lands belonging to or held or leased by the Zamorin, the Supei'ior or Head of the family, except what their local rank in the said Family, or as being born in the South Colgum in the line of succession may accord- ing to the established laws or received customs, of Mala- bar entitle them to, and further agreeing to declare them- selves fully satisfied as to all other claims of whatever nature in the Zamorin house independent of their connection by blood therewith, the said Ferinjar Rajahs are hereby acknowledged as not only fully pardoned for their past offences against the Honourable Company's Government but admissible to rise in the line of succession in the said Zamorin family on the original principles of their birth- right wliich however a long continuance in rebellion would no doubt have proved an adequate ground for deeming them for ever to liave forfeited. Excepting only that the said Ferinjar Rajahs, Balia Maun Wicrum and Cheria Maun Wicrum, representing that out of the allowance of Rupees 10,000 agreed as afore- 147 said by the Honourable Jonathan Duncan to be granted them for the past year or 971 only a part has been paid to them; the Commissioners above named do further acquiesce in the said Periujar Rajahs' entreaty to have their arrears discharged from the Company's Ti'easury also, the Zamo- rin himself being answerable to the Company for the amount which will be hereafter determined upon by a final adjustment of accounts between the parties.

Whereas the Cotiote or Pyche Raja, Caroola Warmaj has lately betaken himself to the jungle aud there with a number of armed followers set himself up in defiance to the Company's authority and spread menacing and inflamatory olas through the Country for the purpose of alarming the inhabitants and impeding regular collecti- ons of the revenue as well in Cotiote as in *Wynaad. This is to give public notice that none may hereafter plead ignorance of, or allow themselves to be misled by, the said Pyche Raja's evil views that he, the Pyche Raja, has had repeated oifers of having his claims, whatever they may be, amicably adjusted by Government upon his fully and clearly stating the same in writing and demeaning himself as indeed becomes him iu peaceable and obedient manner. It must also be remembered that the Pyche Raja obtained but very lately a full and generous || pardon from the Company's Government for offences formerly committed ; that he had thereon bound himself by the most solemn tengagements to re- mani a faithful submissive aud attached servant of the Company's in all time to come, that he has now of his own accord broken those engagements without assigning any specific reason for his dissatis- faction or at all trusting his cause to the Justice of that Govern- ment that had but so lately and conspicuously favoured him. What construction therefore but the worst will his present demeanour admit of ! The followers of this turbulent Raja are in this view warned against the consequences of a blind and ruinous adherence to his cause and present disobedience which under such circum- stances as those above described nothing can surely justify or ad- equately apologize for. The Commissioners previous to their pro- ceeding to extremities against the said Pyche Raja and his party, have therefore thought it necessary to proclaim this summary re- capitulation of the circumstances that have led to the said Pyche Raja's present rebellion, and if those who are now with him, do not upon this public notification return to their duty and allegiance ^^x^nujeAK- * Vide note to No. /a fUhjLT^U.

Whereas many deluded persons ignorant of what has taken place between the Hon'ble Company's Representatives in this Province, and Kerula Weruma, Eajah of +Cotiote, have joined that Raja under different leaders, and are now in a state of rebellion against the Company's Government, in compassion to such, and with the view of preventing any person or persons hereafter plead- ing ignorance of the orders of Government or of the consequence that must ensue from their continuing to resist them, and at the same time to convince all men that it is the desire of Government to act in all cases with justice and moderation, the Commissioners for executing the Office of Supravisor and Chief Magistrate of this Province think it necessary hereby to inform all whom it may concern that Kerula Weruma, Rajah of Cotiote, having in the year §9G8 requested permission of the Honourable Company to resign his authority in favor of his elder brother, Veera Weruma, Rajah of Koorimnaad, the Honourable Company did grant his request, and with his consent did, in the year 970, enter into an jAgreement with the said Vera Weruma, Rajahof Koorimnaad, by whichauthority over the Cotiote country was granted to him for the space of five years, and he became bound for the annual Revenue due to the Hon'ble Company from the said Talook being duly paid, but not- withstanding this requistion on the part of Kerula Weruma Rajah, the latter permitted the former to remain, as he desired, at the head of the collections in Cotiote on condition of the Revenue being paid f Vide note to No. LXXV. § Alluded to in the Report .Joint Commissioners, of 1793, para 262. t Vide No. XCI. 38 — 150 — to liim, who was answerable to the Company. But the Revenue due to the Hon'ble Company from the said Talook being very much in arrear, and the Koorimnaad Raja having heen repeatedly called on forpaymentjheatlastwhen pressed by theCompany,represented to the Commissioners that he had not received the amount from his brother of Cotiote, nor had been able to get from him any accurate account of the collections, and that it was therefore become necessary for him to appoint his own collectors, in which he apprehended resist- ance on the part of his said brother unless supported by the Com- pany's authority and power ; on this the Commissioners tried every gentle means in their power to bring the younger Rajah to a sense of his duty, but finding he still listened and followed the advice of evil counsellors ( of whom he appeared to have many about him ) they in order to preserve the peace of the country and protect the peaceable and well disposed inhabitants of Cotiote from the violence and depredations of the said Rajah's adherents ordered a few detachments of Sepoys to occupy different posts in that country. These detachments marching peaceably along with their arms unloaded to their different places of destination were unex- pectedly, and without any provocation having been given, attack- ed by the adherents of Kerula Weruma, who not only cut off many of them, but most inhumanly murdered even the women and children belonging to the Sepoys, and have ever since without any cause having been given on the part of the Hon'ble Company con- tinued their hostilities in every quarter, thereby shedding much innocent blood and keeping the whole country in a state of alarm . the Commissioners therefore finding themselves now under the necessity of putting a stop to these outrages, and punishing the perpetrators of them, do hereby make it known that those who may have hitherto been deluded through ignorance of the events above mentioned, and are still in arms against the Hon'ble Company's Government shall receive pardon for their past offences, and be permitted to return to their homes unmolested, provided they dis- perse and leave the Chiefs with whom they now are, on or before the 15th day of Meenam ( 25th March) excepting however such as have been the principal instigators or actors in a rebellion distin- guished by the most cruel acts of barbarity.

The Commissioners for executing the office of Supra- visor in Malabar in the name of the Honourable Company have agreed to pay to the Padinyar Kovilagam Raja the annual sum of Rupees 10,000 or Rupees 833 — 1 — 33^ month- ly from the public Treasury on the terms stipulated in the following articles, and which are recorded for general information. 1. With the exception of the arrangement now made for the receipt of the 10,000 Rupees alluded to in the ^Ka- rarnamah executed at Anga.^ipar, the agreement shall re- main undisturbed and the Padinyar Kovilagam Rajah ac- cording to the engagement he has entered into, is at liberty to come and reside at Calicut. 2. The amount of Rupees 10,000 having been assigned for the annual support of the Padinyar Kovilagate Rajahs the senior Rajah of the place may receive the whole amount and support his t Anandiravers (heirsj either by se- parate contributions or (jointly) with him. 3, In consequence of the heirs cff the Padinyar Ko- vilagatha Rajah having become dependants on the Rajah for their support as proposed in the foregoing '2nd Article, it is expected that they shall pay obedience to his instruc- tions and the Rajah should have them duly subjected to the Company's orders. Should any of his heirs or any one mentioned in this agreement be guilty of any offence, the Rajah shall suffer the consequence, and if any complaint be made before any public authority of any acts of aggres- sion committed by any of his Anandiravers, or any of the other persons they shall be forthwith sent up to be tried and ])unished on the receipt of any order to that effect, 4. Besides the alteration made respecting the sura of Rupees 10,000 in the agreement made at Augaripar, if any of the terms in that or in the clauses of the present agree- — 197 ment be infringed, or if order of any of tlie Company's pub- lic servants disregarded or if any such acts as would effect the Company's authority committed, or if the conduct of the Padinyar Kovilagatha Rajah shall be such as to excite the displeasure of Government of the Honourable Company; the . payment of the sum of Rupees 10,000 will be withheld from him and the amount divided to his heirs according to their rights; should Government with reference to their deport, ment deem them deserving of such assistance. 5. The Rajahs of Padinyar Kovflagam having stated that should the Commissioners allow them to go and reside with their uncle the fifth Raja at Kalladykotta, they will not in- terfere in any matters of Revenue or in the peaceable state of that place and to submit to the laws of Government* 6. It is recorded for general information that the Com- missioners relying on the assurance made by the Padinyar Kovilagatha Rajahs to maintain a peaceable conduct, allow them to go and reside at Kallady Kotta during the time they may conduct themselves to the satisfaction of the Ho- nourable Company's Government and in order that they may not be in want during their stay there, they may draw monthly the allowance assigned for their support from the authority in the Southern * Tookaddy instead of the pubhc Treasury at Calicut. 7. Further the Rajahs of the Padinyar Kovilakam so lemnly engage in this clause that should they incur the dis- pleasure of Government by any improper conduct during their residence at Kallady Kotta; when orders may on such information issue for their return to Calicut, they will im- mediately return to that place and continue to live there as provided in this agreement and receive the allowance allotted for their support. This agreement to be forward- ed to Bombay to be confirmed by the || authorities there without which it cannot be held valid and in approbation of all the terms stipulated in this Deed, we have affixed our Signature hereto. Note. — From the Revenue File Book of 1832 in the Records. In October 1805 the Padinyar Kuloth Rajah, who had, by a step of promotion in the Zamorin family, attained, as shewn above, the rank of fifth Rajah, gave shelter to the nephews of the rebel PayashiJRajaatKaHadiKottawhereallthearmsof the party were deposited.

He died without a trial on 3rd Marcli 1806 aud in September 1806 the Collector discontinued the payment of the allowances and arrears to his successor and junior brother of the family, who quitted the country for Travan- core. When the heir of the Padinyar Rajah, who had died in 1828, revived his claim to the allowance of Rupees 10,000 on the ground that it was given direct from the British Government as a charge on the revenue without any connection with the Malikana paid to the Zamorin and that the agreement of 1798 (No. CLXXXVl) made the grant permanent and hereditary to the Senior Rajahs of the Padinyar Kovilagam, the Gover- nor in Council after reviewing the subject in all its bearings and with reference to the records received from the Bombay Govern- ment decided finally that the assertions seemed to be sufficiently refuted by the agi-eements (Vide Nos. CXII, CXXX & CLXXXVl) that the allowance was originally paid by the Zamorin, then through the Malabar Commissioners and that it was not a permanent arrangement, and consequently rejected the prayer of the Petitioner. — Vide Extract from tlie Minutes of Consultation, dated Vdth May lS36,No. 580.

His Lordship therefore desires that you will immedi- ately take the necessary measures for making the most mi- nute enquiry in every village in the districts under your charge for foreigners of every descriptions. Those who may in consequence of this examination be discovered are to be received and you will transmit to me for his Lordship's information every circumstance which may come to your knowledge respecting their character, conduct and probable views. The Governor General directs you to make this en- quiry one of the principal objects of your public duty not only in every part of the districts under your superintend- ence, but his Lordship also wishes you to extend the in- vestigation as far as you may have the means into the ad- jacent provinces and to watch with unremitting vigilance the arrival, conduct and progress of all European travellers whatever. That you may be fully apprized of his Lordship's in- tention T am directed to add that he intends to embark for Europe ( with such alleviation of personal distress as may be possible) all foreigners, who may be found resident in the Company's dominions, with the exception of such cases as may be of a special nature of which his Lordship in Council will be the judge; and I am directed to repeat the Governor General's injunctions on this point with the great- er urgency because his Lordship has had various occasion to observe the relaxed state of the poHce in every part of the territories dependent on this Presidency. You will therefore provide that tliispart of your public duties be ex- ecuted with the greatest degree of exactness and prompti- tude of which the existing system is capable.

This is therefore to enjoin all persons, who may have to pay negadee to this amount and under the above description, to comply with their order, in failure of which they will be subjected to such punishment as the Superintendent or the gentleman in charge of the collections may think proper to award for such disobedience. It is hereby further proclaimed that the Commissioners in view to the unsuitableness of the periods, which were heretofore fixed for the payment of the Negadee instalment, to the reaping of the crops and the seasons for the disposal of the various productions of the country have resolved that henceforth the Negadee shall be col- lected in three instalments viz, the first to commence collectincr from thebeginningof Canny and to be liquidated by the 20th of Wrooschi- gum, the second from the 21st of Wrooschigum to the end of Koom- bum and the last from the 1st of Meenum to the end of Mithoonum.^ Orders to this effect have been given to all the Parbutties, and measures will be taken to enforce compliance- therewith. It is further hereby proclaimed and declared that as the Quin- quennial settlement by which part of the Negadee or *Devassom and X Cherical was given up to be collected for the behalf of the Temples and the Rajahs and their ||Colgums is now expired, the Commission- ers have resolved that the whole of the said Negadee shall in future be collected by the Company's officers in common with the usual negadee, and that a fixed allowance in lieu thereof, as shall hereafter be adjusted, be made direct from the Company's Treasury for the ex- penses of the Temples and Colghums aforesaid.

For firelocks from 1 to 8 Rupees each according to the valuation put upon them by the Sircar servants.

In consequence of it being a general practice with Inhabitants, who cultivate the pepper, to receive sums of money for the produce before it is fit for gathering and thereby getting a very inferior re- turn for the labour they have bestowed on ;ts cultivation and in consideration of this being so great an article of trade to the Com- pany, for these two reasons the Company have come to the following resolution.

This order is not in- tended to operate any way otherwise than as an advantage to the Inhabitants, for it rests with themselves whether they deliver any or not. There is another advantage too that they are no longer ex- posed to the tricks of merchants, for they |are sure to get the full price for their pepper whenever they choose to offer it for sale. It is therefors expected and hoped that the Inhabitants will agreeable to their circumstances commence planting the pepper on every tree that will admit of it, under this consi- deration that the above high price has been offered by the Com- pany.

Whereas the commotions heretofore prevailing in the Province of Malabar rendered it expedient and necessary to suspend the operations of the Civil tribunals and sub- stitute summary process for the trial of offences with a view to the more speedy and effectual punishment of per"- sons rebelling against the authority of Government ; and whereas, the success of the Military operations undertaken for the purpose of restoring tranquility and order has been such as to lay the foundation of a confident hope that those benefits may be preserved and secured to the people of Ma- labar, without the extraordinary exercise of the Military power, wherefore the Right Honourable the Governor in Council of Fort St. George has deemed it to be proper at this time to establish a Court of Fozdarry Adaulut for the provinces of Malabar, Canara, and Soonda Balaghaut, and has appointed Mr. Robert Rickards, Mr. John Strachey and Mr. Beilby Hodgson to be Judges of the said Fozdarry Adaulut. It is therefore published and proclaimed by the authority of the Governor in Council aforesaid, that the said judges have been empowered and directed to proceed to the trial of all persons who are now confined or who may hereafter be confined in tlie said provinces for criminal of- fences according to the several regulations of the British Government in such cases provided. — 237 — Whereas the said Court of Foujdarry Adaulut has been established as aforesaid; and Whereas the internal state of Malabar still requires that no doubt or uncertainty should exist in the mind of the people with respect to the power and authority vested in the said Court. It is further pub- lished, proclaimed by authority of the Governor in Council that the powers of the said Court of Foujdarry Adaulut are limited, and exclusively confined to Criminal matters. and that the said Court possesses no jurisdiction whatever over any Civil suit or any case connected with the adminis- tration of the Revenue. Wherefore it is accordingly pub- lished and proclaimed that all matters of dispute respecting property or civil wrongs or the administration of the Re- venue will continue as heretofore to be decided by the Prin- cipal Collector, and the Subordinate Collectors, who alone are empowered and authorized to take cognizance of such Civil and Revenue cases that no change whatever has been made in the powers and authority vested in the Principal Collector in consequence of the establishment of the Court of Foujdarry Adaulut, (sic) possess no controul or authority over the said Principal Collector, but that all the powers and authorities heretofore vested in the said Principal Collector are still enjoyed and exercised in the same com- plete and ample manner, as if the said Court of Foujdarry Adaulut had not been established.

The known and established principles of Justice which have invariably marked the proceedings of the Company's Government in India render a recourse to arms on the part of the subjects, as un- necessary as it is unbecoming the relative situation of the latter. Protection and encouragement are ever due to the well disposed, and punishment only to the obstinately guilty. Influenced by these considerations it is hereby further proclaimed that a pardon will be granted to all those ( the principal leaders alone excepted ) who have lately from compulsion or delusion enga- ged in the late disturbances, on condition of their returning to their houses and demeaning themselves peaceably in time to come. This pardon is to be clearly understood as only extending to past offences, and not to include any that shall be committed after the issue of this proclamation.

Several Chiefs however regardless of this and without any other cause but a vicious disposition to keep the district in a constant state of trouble being still in the jungle watching to commit enormities wherever an opportunity offers in order to rid the country of those evil disposed people and to encourage the inhabitants to use their endeavours in seizing and bringing them to the punishment, which they so justly deserve, it is hereby proclaimed that whoever apprehends either of tho undermen- tioned rebels will receive the reward annexed to his name and that should either of the particularized people be seized upon the infor- mation of any inhabitant, one-half of the proffered reward will be given to him and the other to the captors.

Official intelligence has been received of the death of Kerula Warma of Cotiote commonly styled the Pyche Rajah, who has so long opposed in arms the Honourable Company's authority in Ma- labar. The Pyche Rajah fell in an attack on his party by a detach- ment of the Honourable Company's Forces in Wynaad on the morning of the Istinstant. The customary ceremony was allowed to be observed at his funeral. The punishment which has, at length been now brought up- on the Pychy Rajah and lately upon his many principal adherents in Cotiote and other districts, must tend to convince the minds of the otlier Elijahs and several inhabitants m Malabar that wanton rebellion against the established authority of Government is sure either sooner or later to meet with its just reward. Such a con- viction and that their comfort and happiness are inseparably con- nected with the tranquillity of the country will no doubt duly in- fluence the future conduct of the inhabitants of Malabar and continue to stimulate them (as so frequently on late occasions) to unite their own efforts with those of the servants of Government and terminate all public disturbers of the peace. The many instances of moderation and forbearance, which have been shewn to public offenders in Malabar and of which the late Pychy Rajah is well known to have been the most conspicuous in- stance, have fully mainfestod the benevolence, which ahvays animated the Briti-sh Government in wishing to reclaim by mercy and lenient treatment those who through delusion or false principles have been led away into error. Unfortunately a misconstruction has often been placed upon the motives which have actuated such conduct and what has proceeded upon the beuigu wish to I'cform and pro- — 257 — duce good has been attributed to pusillanimous apprehension in Government and produced the very worst of consequences. Such baneful impressions as these inspired and fomented by the turbulent rebel chieftains, who at that time excited (but who have since suffer- ed for their temerity), dissuaded the two nephews of the late Pychy Rajah from following the advice of submitting to the Company's authority recommended to them in a joint tproclamation published f Vi<'f No. CCXLV. by the Principal Collector and Commanding officer in Malabar under date of the 24th September 1803 and notwithstanding these princes have been since formally proscribed and rewards offered for their seizure in a §proclamation published in the district of Wynaadbear- § do. No. CCIV. ingdate the 16th June 1805, it is still the wish of tho llonourablo Company's Government in Malabar, since no one remains now to delude their well disposed minds by evil counsels, to reclaim them from the error of their past conduct and restore them to their alle- giance. The Principal Collector has duly consulted on this subjec* with the present Commanding Officer in tho province with whose concurrence he now issues the present proclamation, which is intend- ed to notify to the aforesaid nephews of the late Pychy Eajah that if they send to any of the constituted authorities in Malabar offer- ing to submit to the Government, they shall be re-admitted to its protection. This proclamation to have effect during sixty days from this date, within which period should the nephews not have made their submissions the proclamation issued in Wynaad under the 16th June 1805 refen-ed to above will continue in force.

Wherein it was among other sti- pulations agreed, that for the term of five years commen- cing on the 1st of Kanuy 970 M. S. one fifth share of the net collections of certain districts should be on certain conditions paid annually for the said period of five years to Korikate Mauna Wickram Samoory Rajah, out of the revenues accruing to the Company's Government. And whereas the said term of five years so stipulated is now and has been long since expired and the conditions of the said Kararnamahs or agreements consequently void and of no effect and no permanent settlement of the re- venues of Malabar having since been carried into practice, the Malikana to the several Rajahs has been continued by the free bounty of the Company's Government on the basis of the aforesaid kararnamahs or agreements. And whereas the jurisdiction of the province of Malabar having been ||tranf erred to the Government of Fort St. George, the Principal Collector has received the orders of the Righ^ Hon'ble the Governor in Council to fix one general assess- ment of land revenue throughout the province of Malabar on certain principles. And whereas the proposed assess- ment may in its J operation reduce the amount ofJumma upon certain districts in particular, or upon the whole pro- vince in general. Whereby the usual Malikana of five per cent on the Jumma may be diminished in certain cases to the prejudice of the comforts of the Rajahs and their fami- lies, contrary to the benevolent intentions of the Company's Government towards the Rajahs of Malabar, And for as much as some of the younger branches of certain Kowilgums have at several (| times forgotten their duties of allegiance to the Company's Government, and have in some instances fomented and excited disturbances in the country and some are at this moment in actual hos- tility and rebellion against the Government and it is ex- pedient to use every precaution to avert such evils in all time to come. But whereas the Company's Government are in its justice disposed to pardon the former errors of the few, (the crimes of open hostihty and rebellion excepted) in consideration of the allegiance and commendable de- meanour of the majority of the members of the different Kowilgums in Malabar. — 261 — Wherefore the Riglit Honourable the Governorln Coun- cil of Fort St. George has deemed it expedient to *autliorize and direct the Principal Collector in Malabar to frame and conclude new stipulations and agreements of one general form and tenor of the most solemn and binding nature to comprehend and provide for all and singular of the premises. In pursuance therefore of the said determination of the Government in virtue of powers specially vested in me to this end by authority of the Right Honourable the Gov- ernor in Council of Fort St. George. I, Thomas Warden, Principal Collector in the province of Malabar, do hereby stipulate and agree in the name of the Honourable United East India Company withKorikote Mauna Wickram Rajah of the Nediyeruppa Suruwum for himself and his heirs for ever in manner and form following : — Article I.

As the Bebee was in || viz . Amcni. Chetlat alliance with Tippu Sultan the enemy of the British and as Tippoo took the Islands from her and gave her a compen- sation for them by thegrant of a part of the Cherical Rajah's lands which he recovered on the downfall of the Sultan's power, the Governor in Council considers her claim to con- sist entirely of the liberal disposition evinced towards her by the Honourable the Court of Directors and in no degree to be founded on rigfht. As she declined to avail herself of the proposal made to her in consequence of the Honorable Kiltan and Kada- mat. — 276 — Court's instructions up to the 27th of June last, tlie Gov- ernor in Council is of opinion that it is only from that date that she should be allowed to reap the benefit of it. You will accordingly instruct the Principal Collector to propose to her from that date to abate the revenue payable by her to the Company in the sum of fifteen hundred (1,600) Pagodas per annum if she will be willing to accept of that compen- sation for the Amendevi Islands, (Signed; D.

The four islands above named belonging to the Bibi of Cannanore were in 1786-87 taken possession of by Tippu Sultan and attached to his Kacheri of Canara, who how- ever granted to the Bibi a Jaghir in Cherakal consisting of the taras of Chalat and Talapali (alias Kanotchala) and Kunatur (Vide No. XCI.

The right to these taras became the subject of interminable contention be" tween the Bibi and the Cherakal Rajah till 1796 when the Su- preme Government declared that the Jaghire would not be re- stored to the former as it was a temporary alienation by Tippu from the latter.

The condact of the Rajah of Coorg has for a long time past been of such a nature as to render him unworthy of the friendship and protection of tlie British Government. Umniudful of his duty as a ruler, and regardless of his obliga- tions as a dependent ally of the East India Company, he has been guilty of the greatest oppression and cruelty towards the people subject to his Government, and he has evinced the most wanton dis- respect of the authority of and the most hostile disposition towards the former, from whom he and his ancestors have invariably received every degree of kindness and protection. It would be needless to enumerate the sevei'al instances of his miscoi; "uct ; but it is suiScient to state that in consequence of an asylum hsiviug been afforded in the Evitish territories to his own sister, Devvrauajee, and her husband, Chenua Uasavr^ppa, who to pre- serve their lives had fled from his oppression, the Rojah has pi'e- sumed to address letters, replete with the mostinsulti.;g espre ,5sio.:s +" *-'^" Governor of Fort St. Geovge acd the Governor •^hat he has assumed an attitude of hostility ' 70 — 278 — wards the British Government ; that he has received and encourased the proclaimed enemies of that Government ; and that he has un- justifiably placed under restraint an old and faithful servant of the Company, named Kulpully Karnikara Manoon, who had been formally deputed by the British representative for the purpose of opening a friendly negotiation, thus committing a gross outrage, not only upon the authority by whom the above named individual was deputed, but upon the established rules of all civilized nations by whom the persons of accredited agents are invariably held sacred. * Vide No. XCVIII. Part The ancient ^alliance and the firm friendship, which had so hap- pily subsisted between the predecessors of the present Rajah and the Honourable Company, have caused his errors to be treated uni- formly with indulgence. The most earnest remonstrances have been in vain tried to bring him to a sense of his obligations, and it is not until further forbearance would be culpable that His Excellency the Eight Honourable, the Governor General, at the suggestion and with concurrence of the Right Honourable, the Governor in Council o f Fort St. George, has resolved on,employing the only means left of vindicating the dignity of the sovereign State, and of securing to the inhabitants of Coorg the blessings of a just and equitable gov- ernment. It is accordingly hereby notified that a British army is about to invade the Coorg territory ; that Viraragendra Wodyar is no ]onger to be considered as Rajah of Coorg ; that the persons and property of all those who conduct themselves peaceably or in aid of the operations of the British troops shall be respected; and that sush a system of Government shall be established as may seem best calculated to secure the happiness of the people. It is also hereby made known to all British Subjects, who may have entered the service of Virarajendra Wodyar, that they are re- quired to place themselves under the protection of the British Authorities, by whom they will be kindly received, and their rights and privileges respected ; and that such of them as may in any way render assistance to the enemy will be considered as traitors and punished accordingly. This proclamation will be carefully made known in Chittledroog, Raidroog, Mysore, Bellary, Malabar, Canara, in order that the re- latives of such persons as have taken service in Coorg from those places or adjoining districts may adopt the earliest means of com- municating its purport to the parties in whose safety they are in- terested.
