English Company, by way of in&m or 

 free gift ; and the treaty with the 

 Nizam of 12th November 1766, by 

 which he ceded the same provinces, had 

 no substantial operation. In regard to 

 the Circar of Murtizanagar, the Govern- 

 ment of Fort St. George agreed, out of 

 friendship for the Nizam, to permit his 

 brother, Bazalut Jang, to enjoy it as a 

 Jagir for life. The tenant died on the 

 5th October 1782 ; and, some difficulties 

 delaying prompter action on the part of 

 the Company, the Nizam's Amildars 

 retained the country till a formal Sanad 

 for its being delivered up was procured 

 by Lord Cornwallis on the 18th Sep- 

 tember 1788.
