R. D. Ross — Historian of Shah ‘ Alam . 
of Scindhia. In 1785, owing to a severe illness, he took leave of Mr. 
Anderson and returned to Allahabad. “He then attached himself to 
the fortunes of the Shahzada Jahandar Shah, the eldest son of Shah- 
jalian, whom he assisted in his attempt to seize upon the Delhi Govern¬ 
ment, and by whom he was treated, according to his own statement, as 
the most trusted friend and adviser. ” L 
In A.D. 1787 he proceeded to Lucknow: and after some time again 
returned to Allahabad. In 1793 his then master, Mr. Trevis, was ap¬ 
pointed Judge of Jaunpur, and Khayr-ud-Din accompanied him thither* 
After few months, however, Mr. Trevis was transferred to the Appelate 
Court at Benares, and was succeeded in Jaunpur by Mr. Abraham 
Willard, whose service Khayr-ud-Din now entered. There is, however* 
a discrepency in the dates here, for the Jaunpw-Nama says that Mr. 
Willard was appointed in 1796, whereas according to the Tazkirat- 
ul-‘Ulama he must have succeeded to the Judgeship of Jaunpur in 1793 
or 1794. 
Khayr-ud-Din spent the last years of his life in Jaunpur, in the 
enjoyment of a Government Pension granted in recognition of his faith¬ 
ful services in negotiation with the Mahrattas. 
He died about the year A.D. 1827.
