On reaching the Residency, he was unhorsed by stones and spears, and is now dying.

I then sent Sirdar Yahia Khan and my own son, the heir-apparent, with the Koran to the troops; but no use.
I then sent well-known Syads and Mullahs of each class, but of no avail; up till now, evening, the disturbance continues.

It will be seen how it ends.

I am grieved with this confusing state of things.

It is almost beyond conception.
