Item CR9/21/34 - News brought in by Harkaras to Clive.

Diyabarn? Harakara reports that in the districts of Bundelkhand Ram Pandit and Ghanish? Pandit along with one thousand-horse cavalry had gone to see Rajah Ajit Singh at Bandhu and to ask him for one fourth of his wealth. Ajit Singh was preparing himself to defend his wealth but his Diwan, Puran Mall, resolved the matter by agreeing to hand over one fourth of the wealth to the Marhattas and Ram Pandit and Ghanish? Pandit, with this, returned with this wealth. When Lala Babu, one of the brothers of Ajit Singh, who had became independent saw Ganesh Pandit coming he attacked his forces. Rajah Bikrmajit had at that time gone to see Gannet Pundit and Ram Pandit to establish a police post in that district of Marar and to ask money for the protection of this station.. But the Pandit was not prepared to agree to this and preferred to resolve the issue by force. Bikrmajit was engaged in these affairs when Gopal Pandit Marhatta with his ship arrived with one thousand cavalry at Amethi, near??? by crossing the river from Kudhi port at Bankipore. They have brought with them reporters and messengers. One of the reporters has informed me that Madhu Singh, the son of Raghu Singh Khoslah, has gone towards Bengal with three other Sardars and that from there he wants to take a ship to go to Khad.
