1844.] Sixth Report on Mackenzie Manuscripts. 91 



Rem ark. — The document does not seem of much conse- 

 quence, nor yet to have been drawn up with much attention" 

 to accuracy. The above outline is very brief; but the paper 

 remains in good preservation, for further reference, if thought 

 at any time desirable. 



E. Manuscript Books of Miscellaneous Inscriptions. 



There are several of these books in the collection, contain- 

 ing copies of inscriptions in two, three, or more languages ; 

 so as not well to allow of being arranged under the usual 

 order of my reports. By consequence they are here placed 

 as a distinct subdivision, according to language. The order 

 will be Persian, Mahratta, Canarese and Telugu. 



1. PERSIAN. 



M. S. Book No. 9, C. M. 978. Ancola and Gokernam Districts. 



1. Dated 1044 — Hegira. A firman addressed to Cazi 

 Ahmed, assenting to the request of the said Ahmed,, who had 

 stated that, in consequence of his own great age, he wished 

 his situation to be given to his son Taj u'Din Mahomed. Is- 

 sued by a Divan whose name is not in this copy. 



2. Firman of a Divan addressed to the inhabitants of Agra, 

 dated in 1068 — Hegira. It directs that all things, as before 

 observed in the fame of Mama-chundra, be continued ; and is 

 perhaps a renewed grant, at the commencement of a new 

 reign. 



3. Order of Sultan Mahomed Padsha to the A mil, or Col- 

 lector of Agra, to renew a Sunnud, or grant, as before cus- 

 tomary, for allowances to a Mosque. Dated in 1079 — Hegira. 



4. Dated in 1077 — Hegira. Order to continue a charitable 

 grant of 124 huns, arising from a village, to a person men- 

 tioned ; descending to his children, and grand children.
