2S0 Report on the Mackenzie Manuscripts. [Oct, 



his claims for arrears the ground of his proceedings. Detail of subse- 

 quent Mahratta princes. Account of the Cdta raja. The detail of do- 

 mestic affairs, and of petty machinations within the palace, is somewhat 

 full. There are also full details of proceedings of a more public kind, 

 down to the interposition of Lord Pigot. Much is stated concerning 

 that affair. The proceedings of Gavernor Campbell, in person, at Tan- 

 jore, are mentioned. The close of the document advert to the release of 

 the son of TuUi raja from prison ; but states that, for the rest, injustice- 

 remained ; and at the close, appeals to the rectitude of the Honorable 

 Company, soliciting full enciuiry, and redress. 



Section 0. Details concerning the fanes of Swa pracdsa, in the prin- 

 cipality of Turaiyur. 



Various particulars are stated concerning this place, of a legendary 

 kind. Among the rest, a child that had died from the bite of a snake 

 was here restored to life ; and one, afflicted with leprosy, here obtained 

 a cure. 



Copy of an inscription commemorating certain gifts and immunities 

 made in Sal. Sac. 1665, to this fone, by a descendant of iV~a„%?z/a rediyar, 

 named Vencatdchala-rediyar^ whose pedigree is deduced from the Rayer- 

 dynasty ; with heavy denunciations against anj^ one alienating the same 

 to other purposes. 



Section 10. Account of grants ofland made to the said fane of Siva pra- 

 casa, in the Turaiyur district. 



A mere repetition of the aforesaid grant, vvith a specification of lands 

 bestowed ; and attested by the signature of the said Vencatdchala rediyar- 



Section II. Account of an emigration of some persons of the Reddi- 

 caste, from the Nellore district. 



This is a mere fragment, stating the fact of an emigration ; but breaking 

 off abruptly. I think it must have been intended for a copy of a paper' 

 elsewhere found in the collection, concerning the Rediyar chiefs of Tu- 

 raiyur, or at least the subject would be the same : hence there is proba- 

 bly no real loss. [See my Third Report MS. book No. 1, section 5],
