TransiatSn of a Petition, dated 15th March, from Shades Khan, Bungulzaie, to Commissioner in Sinde
I should inform your Honor that we have for a long time dwelt in Shawl, Mustung
Ispulanjee, Kutchee and Mool. Five years ago Yuddara Adam Khan, Bungulzaie, went to
Khelat to make a representation to the Khan on four points:
Is*.—That the Khan had imposed a fine of Ks. 14,000 on Sherdil Khan and Kache
Khan, Muzaranee Murrees, who were then subjects of Adam Khan.
2nd. That Rs. 500 was not paid which was due as salary.
3 r d .—That the Khan’s servants had forcibly cut his grass.
4 ^ That the Bungalzaies lived on the hire of their camels, and that the Khan was in
the habit of using these camels without payment.
The Khan would not listen to his representations; so the Yuddara returned to his home.
All the Sardars then assembled together and agreed to lay their complaints before the British
Government. All the Sardars then went to Khunnuck to fetch Habeeb Khan and take him
with them. The Khan’s forces attacked them, and Habeeb Khan was killed. About 5 years
aao all the Sirdars, Alladeena Khan, Sardar, Jangheer Khan and the other Sardars, came to
Nurracka and called Mioola Muhammad, Baisanee, from Kandahar. After this, marching by the
Nao-ah road they camped near the hills at Kutchee. TheShahgazee came from Nurrucka to the
Bolan Pass, and it was rumoured that he had come with a force to give battle. We also got ready
for action.' The Shahgazee came fromBeebee Nauee. AsKadirBuksh,Budozaieand AdilKhan,
Baharzaie were escorting supplies and provisions for the Khan’s troops from Dadur, we fell
upon them on the road and plundered them. The Naib Wallee Muhammad, of Dadur, fined
Kadur Buksh and Adil Khan Rs. 1,000 for this. Last year, when the Khan came to Mustung,
he sent his animals to graze on land of PeerdilKhan as much as two water-courses could water,
and on that of a Hindoo as much as could be watered in 2 nights and a half, which land they
had purchased. He used also to receive on each night’s water a load of grass every eighth
dav and if any one failed to supply this a fine ofRs. 5 was levied on each load.. It the man
was poor the Khan’s servants used to beat him, refusing to leave him till he paid the money.
The Khan’s servants used to realize a revenue of Bs. 140 on each water-course. We paid
thi\ revenue regularly for 3 years. Last year the khan came and levied the tax on the water
courses for three years over again to the amount of Rs. 420. We had a share of property at Is-
mdaniee • we went toShahdad Khan, Bungulzaie, to receive the revenue. Shahdad Khan made
a complaint to the Khan, and thereupon Naib Abdul Rahman, of Mustung, took Rs. oOO from
us Our camels going to graze on our own lands, the Naib fined us Rs. 20, and on each, of those
camels which went to Kurrachee, Kelat and Kutchee for hire a tax of Rs. 1 - 4-0 was levied. The
forces of the Khan during the Mustung campaign carried off 8 horses, 2 mares, 12 camels, 8
loads of tobacco, and one stack of wheat; and last year the Khan also took from us 10 camels
unloaded, 2 camels loaded, one maund of cochineal and a fine in cash of Rs 250, and said that
was on account of the allowance we received from Meer Sher Dil Khan, who had been for a short
time on the throne. A few days before the battle the Naib Shahoo Khan took from us at
Naree Rs. 100 as a tax on hired camels in addition to the customary dues. Such oppression we
have never before experienced, nor have we ever known of a tax being levied on hired camels.
After the battle at Mustung, the forces of the Khan robbed Said Khan Sherazie of Rs. 4 000
in cash and gold ornaments, Rs. 500 worth of sheep skins, 4 loads of almonds,—altogether
80 maunds and other household property. In Mustung Abdul Rahman Khan carried off a horse
nnd mare of the value of Rs. 200 . The Naib Skahoo Khan, at Bhag, sc ize <i 9 camels loaded
with wheat and the Khan’s troops took a horse and mare and other household property belong
ing to Shah Wullee, Buddozaie. Last year, when the Khan was proceeding from Khorasan to
TCntrhee the Naib forcibly seized our camels and loaded them with the Khan s things. Several
camels died ; not a farthing was paid for hire, but a fine of Rs. 50 levied Ahmed Khan and
Mobaruck Khan, Granee, had purchased estates at Mustung; the Naib Abdul Rahman took
Rs 500 as revenue for 3 years, and confiscated the estates, notwithstanding that the revenue
bad been previously paid There are 6 hours of canal ^Thfee yfarLf IhS
Ashkunee: the Naib, Abdul Rahman Khan, fined this man Rs. 200. Ihree years ago Aoaii
