mul Khan, and other leaders "with their respective contingents to Shahabad 

 and Khairabad, of which parganahs they took quiet possession. The death 

 and defeat of Naval Eae had thrown the greater part of the Allahabad 

 Subah into confusion ; Hup Singh Khichar, who held parganah Karali (now 

 in the Allahabad district), Sumer Singh, son of Hindu Singh Chandela, and 

 Gansham Singh Baghbansi, all old friends of the Pathans, entered into a 

 league with the Mahrattas, and as they had done the year before, wished to 

 call them across the river. 



By the month of Zil-ka'd (Sept. — Oct. 1750), the Pathans had put a 

 thana in Malihabad, 15 miles west of Lakhnau, had raised a disturbance in 

 Sandi, (in the Hardoi district) had invested Amethi (in the Sultanpur dis- 

 trict), and with a large force were threatening Dalmau, on the Ganges, and 

 Eae Bareli itself. 



It is reported that after the victory Nawab Ahmad Khan used often 

 to say to the Bibi Sahiba — " God the Almighty has granted me a double 

 " triumph, for I have not only defeated ' Abd-ul-Mansur Khan, but I am rid 

 "of Eustam Khan Afridi, who had a claim to half my territory." The 

 Nawab referred to the compact made before the attack on Naval Eae, by 

 which Eustam Kban had stipulated for half the nawabi in return for the 

 money then advanced.
