Memorandum containing accounts of Ram Dayal, messenger, an inhabitant of Benares and Teka Ram Rajput, an employee of Monsieur Lally who were arrested by Bhurmal, a messenger of Mr Priks and brought to Azimabad for interrogation by Mr Priks. -- Account by Ram Dayal. -- Monsieur Las, a Frenchman is staying in Chanarah village, adjacent to the fort, which is at a distance of six karoh from Benares. On Monday he gave me leave to go and later I heard that he had gone to Allahabad and then to see Shuja al-Daulah Bahadur. He had left his boat behind and was travelling by road. I believe he is travelling with one hundred European horsemen and more than one hundred European soldiers and two hundred and fifty Tilanga soldiers, as well as with two Marhatta Dafadars, one with sixty five men and the other with fifty four men. -- Account by Teka Ram. -- I was employed by the French for the past twenty-five years. I was dismissed three months ago and since than stayed at home. One day Nidhar[?] Rai gave me two letters and asked me to deliver them to Jagan Nath Thakur and Kishn Chand, whom I had known for some time. I had gone to deliver theses letters to Charah when I was taken prisoner.
