26 MEEK ALI MOORAX), 



All Husseyn, the princij^al witness against the 

 Meer, did not long enjoy the fruits of his 

 villany, as, shortly after haying given evidence 

 against that unfortunate Prince, he died at 

 Bombay. On his death-bed he sent for Mirza 

 Ali Acbar, Sir Charles Napier's moonshee, to 

 whom he had preferred the first accusation 

 against Meer Ali Moorad, and then confessed 

 its falsehood, as thus reported by the Chief of 

 Police at Bombay : — 



'' Ali Husseyn had been for some time sick 

 before the day of his death. He sent a servant 

 to call Ali Acbar, moonshee to Sir Charles Napier, 

 and I have ascertained that the following is the 

 conversation that took place between them : — 

 Ali Husseyn was apparently dying. He said 

 that he had sent for him to express his wishes, 

 as his last hour was approaching. He wished 

 him to see he was properly interred, as he had 

 very few rupees left, perhaps not sufficient. He 

 said that he wished the Government pension of 

 200 rupees should revert to his son or family, 

 and adding, I shall not live to enjoy it, being 

 the fi'uit of my villany. He then wept, and 

 said he was trembling at the idea of appearing 

 before God to answer for all the treachery
