CUTCH-
Area, 6,500 square miles; Population (1881), 512,084;
Revenue, Rs. 16,03,055,
His Excellency the Governor Sir James Fergusson visits
Cutch in January 1882; he landed at Mandvi on the 6th Jan u .
ary where an address of welcome was presented to him and
proceeded to Bhuj on the 6th January where he was received
in State by His Highness the Bao and held a levee and sat in
Darbar. On the 8th he laid the foundation stone of the Alfred
High School. The town was illuminated for three nights and the
general festivities attracted a great number of visitors.
His Highness the Bao attended the meetings of the Council
of Begency as a spectator once a week and appeared to take
an interest in the work. He is nearly 16 years of age and is
being privately educated at Bhuj ; meanwhile the administration
is conducted by Bao Bahadur Nandshankar Tuljashankar, the
Divan, who is head of a Council of four members. As in previ
ous years, disputes with the Thakor of Morvi absorbed and wasted
a great deal of time, and the interference of the British Govern
ment is earnestly prayed by the Divan to put an end to these
ever-recurring disputes, many of which have already been decided
against the Thakor, but from these decisions he almost invariably
appeals. The Thakor has evaded his liability to construct and
maintain a good wharf and warehouse at the port of Wawania
or to grant a site for a building for the accommodation of the
officers of the Cutch State located in the town. The boundary
disputes between certain villages of Cutch and Morvi in the Adhoi
aluka have been settled by a Commissioner, but it is represented
that an exchange of villages between the two States would be a
ar more satisfactory solution of present difficulties and a pre
ventative of future disputes.
