The baronial proprietors in the Sundeela district are Murdun Sing, of Dhurawun, with a rent-roll of 38,000; Gunga Buksh, of Atwa, with one of 25,000; Chundeeka Buksh, of Birwa, with one of 25,000; and Somere Sing, of Rodamow, with one of 34,000.

This is the rent-roll declared and entered in the accounts; but it is much below the real one.

The Government officers are afraid to measure their lands, or to make any inquiries on the estates into their value, lest they should turn robbers and plunder the country, as they are always prepared to do.
They have always a number of armed and brave retainers, ready to support them in any enterprise, and can always add to their number on emergency.

There is never any want of loose characters ready to fight for the sake of plunder alone.
