found this note: "Bombay, August Stlf. After a 

 hearing lasting seven months, judgment has now 

 been given in the action brought by Haji Bibi [the 

 ' cousin's ' mother], widow, against Sir Sultan 

 Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan, and thirteen others, 

 in which the plaintiff, a daughter of the late Aga 

 Janghi Shah, who was a son of the first Aga Khan, 

 sued as one of the heirs of Aga Janghi Shah to 

 recover from the first defendant her share in the 

 estate of the first Aga Khan, alleging that all the 

 properties now in the hands of the first defendant 

 were the joint family property belonging to the 

 estate of the first Aga Khan, in which she was en- 

 titled to a share. Judgment was given for the Aga 

 Khan on all points." 



The ''cousin" was evidently very well off, too, 

 as he told me he had about 200 horses, forty of 

 which were racing ponies. He described the de- 

 lights of good Indian stations to me, and told me 

 he knew some of my husband's connections, telling 

 me I should well like India when my husband was 

 stationed there.

 but I should think it is attended by a good deal of 

 risk to their happiness ; the manners and customs of 

 the two nations being so different.
