They were taken out accordingly, and having to pass the house of Subsookh Rae, when their excitement, or spirit of religious fervour, had reached the highest pitch, they there put them down, broke open the doors, entered in a crowd, and plundered it of all the property they could find, amounting to above seventy thousand rupees.

Subsookh Rae was obliged to get out, with his family, at a back door, and run for his life.

He went to Shajehanpoor, in our territory, and put himself under the protection of the magistrate.

Not content with all this, they built a small miniature mosque at the door with some loose bricks, so that no one could go either out or in without the risk of knocking it down, or so injuring this _mock mosque_ as to rouse, or enable the evil- minded to rouse, the whole Mahommedan population against the offender.

Poor Subsookh Rae has been utterly ruined, and ever since seeking in vain for redress.
