Order by the Durbar, that the minister seize and send the oppressors to Lucknow, and restore the property to its proper owners.

The minister did nothing of the kind; and soon after made this oppressor the governor of these districts.
_September_ 20, 1847 .-- Report from Radowlee states, that armed men belonging to Kurum Hoseyn, escorting one thousand selected bullocks, sent by Rughbar Sing, had come to Radowlee, on their way to his fort of Shahgunge.

Order by the Durbar: Let the minister see to this affair.

Nothing was done.
On the 28th September 1847 an order was addressed by the Durbar to Rughbur Sing, that his agent, Kurum Hoseyn, appeared to have attacked the house of Seodeen, though he had paid all that was due by him to the State, according to his engagements, and plundered it of property to the value of eighteen thousand rupees, and seized and confined all his relations--that he must cause all the property to be restored, and obtain acquittances from the sufferers.

Rughbur Sing took no notice whatever of this order.
On the 2nd of October 1847, the Resident, Colonel Richmond, wrote to the King, acquainting him, that he had heard, that Rughbur Sing had seized and sold all the ploughs and bullocks in the Bahraetch district, and, seized and sold also five hundred men, women, and children of the landholders and cultivators; that he regrets all this and prays that his Majesty will cause inquiries to be made; and, should the charges prove true, cause the articles taken, or their value, to be restored, and the men, women, and children to be released.
