5. In 1929 a document came to ligftt signed in 1923 by
wnich Knalid gave to Abdul Ranman tne tnen Headman of
Hamr iy eh (afterwards murdered) independence for nimself
and the town. This document was witnessed by the tnen
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. Agent who has since died. This document has
