[No. 2, 
herewith a copy and translation of a Petition presented to me by Lall 
Singh, Shah Singh, and Gauree Singh, sons of the deceased, soliciting 
a continuance of the allowance, which I beg leave to snbmit for the 
consideration and orders of His Excellency the Most Noble the Gov¬ 
ernor-General in Council. 
2. —The particulars of the case are so fully set forth in the Petition, 
that I do not deem it necessary to trouble the Board with my further 
observations on it than to mention that the circumstances of the zeal 
and good conduct of Dujjoo Singh and his adherents in the expulsion of 
the rebel Fatteh Sahi from the Company’s Territories is notorious, as 
well as Lis steady attachment to the English interest during the troubles 
at Benares, and that it was in a great measure owing to the exertions of 
himself and his followers that this district was saved from devastation 
and ruinous consequences of the predatory incursion of Fatteh Shahi’s 
Banditti. 
3. —As it would appear that the sons and adherents of Dujjoo Singh 
were, with himself, wholly supported by the pension they received from 
Government, and as there is every reason to believe that their numer¬ 
ous family will be reduced to the greatest distress from the resump¬ 
tions, I take the liberty of recommending the prayer of their Petition to 
the liberality of Government. 
I have, etc.,

sons of Dujjoo Singh, deceased. 
In 1189 Fussilly, when the Governor General was at Benares to 
punish the Rebellion of Raja Chitta Singh, ordered the different Divi¬ 
sions of the army, including the Battalion stationed at Burragangin Par- 
ganah Cullianpore Koarry to join him at that place, Rajah Futteh Shahi 
availing himself of the opportunity afforded by their absence, came with 
Ajeetmall and other zamindars from Gorakhpur with a body of 20,000 
men to Burragang, and surrounding Govindram Missir, the Tahsildar of 
the Parganah, attacked and plundered the station. Mr. Grome, then 
Collector of the District, on receipt of this intelligence, wrote a pur- 
wanah to Dujjoo Singh, desiring him to join the Tahsildar and afford his 
assistance in driving the said Fatteh Shahi beyond the boundary of 
the Company’s provinces. Dujjoo Singh immediately collected his adher¬ 
ents amounting to about 1,000 men, and after unremitting exertions for
