S. C. Hill —Account of late Maharaja Nubkissen Bahadur . [No. 1, 
Calcutta, nominated Ramchurun Roy as his Dewau and sent for Nowwab 
Jafer Aly Khan aud Nowwab Mozufferjung from Moorshidabad to 
Calcutta on account of some faults that they had committed and 
displaced them from the Musnnd and instated Nowwab Kassim Aly Khan 
Soobadar in their stead. Shortly after Kassim Aly Khan removed his 
seat from Moorshidabad to Monghyr and treacherously killed all the 
English gentlemen of Moorshidabad, Patna, Cassimbazar, &c , and also 
inhumanly destroyed almost all the nobles of Bengal, namely, Royrayn 
Ommed Roy, Maharajah Ramnarain, 1 Rajah Rajbullabha with his son 
and Jugut Sate with his brother and others, excepting Nowwab Jafer Aly 
Khan, Nowwab Muzufferjung and Moharaja Doollu Charan who were 
then in Calcutta. 
Afterwards Major Adams 2 went to war against Kassim Aly Khan, 
accompanied with force 3 and Moonshee Nobocrishna and fought a 
signal battle at Oady Nullah, for four days successively (some say nine 
days) and defeated Kassim Aly Khan’s Troops and gained victory over 
him pursuing him across the Nullah, he however fled to Nowwab Shaja-ud- 
Dowlah at Lucknow. Moonshee Nobocrishna having been employed 
for three days in the execution of the orders of Major Adam fell sick 
in consequence of the extreme fatigue and was confined in his Tent on 
the fourth day when the plundering soldiers of the Nowwab robbed 
his Tent and attempted to cut him off, but he ran away, and jumped into 
the Nullah and swam it over and saved his life by joining the British 
Army. Major Adams having been most arduously employed in this war, 
was taken dangerously ill, for which reason Moonshee Nobocrishna and 
Mr. Skinner were bringing him to Calcutta in a boat but this meritorious 
officer unfortunately died near Calcutta. 
In 1765 Lord Clive being appointed Governor-General of India 
with unlimited powers arrived at Calcutta on the 3rd May and Mr. 
Vansittart embarked for Europe previously to that without seeing his 
Lordship, in consequence of the calamities occasioned by his nomination 
of Kassim Aly Khan Soobadar of Bengal. Lord Clive was pleased to 
employ Moonshee Nobocrishna confidentially as before and after consult¬ 
ing him reinstated Nowwab Jaffer Aly Khan Soobadar and Mozufferjung 
Naib Soobadar, after which Moonshee Nobocrishna accompanied Lord 
Clive as far as Allahabad (some say Delhi) and concluded a treaty with 
his Majesty Shah Alum, and his Highness Nowwab Shaja-ud-Dowlah 
to the satisfaction of his Lordship, and obtained from his Majesty 
on the 2nd Showal 1179 Higeree (A.D. 1765) a dignity of Munsub 
1 Raja Ram Narain, Deputy Governor of Bihar. 
2 i.e., Ma}or Adams.
