The Nawab held his durbar today, 26 Shawwal, reg.yr. 5, with all his courtiers in attendance. He praised the administration of the Bengal province for the year 1165 Bangla. Thereafter all big and small landlords of this province were presented with robes of honour. Everyone presented nuzur and paid compliments to him. However, Kishnchand and some landlords and zamindars from Purani Bhavani, Rajshahi, and Nadiah, etc., who owed large amounts as arrears to the Nawab and to the East India Company were not given any robes of honour. Instalments for the yearly revenue from the districts of Mondah Kadha, etc., were allocated to the [East India]Company. As a result, eleven thousand one hundred sixty five rupees and twenty-eight Ashrafis and thirteen annas were deposited in its treasury. As far as the tax of Kedar Mal is concerned, he had exceeded his limits and the Nawab ordered that he should be taken to Jahangirnagar where he should be put under house arrest with others. Jagatseth Mihtab Rai and Maharajah Saropchand have annoyed the Nawab with their behaviour. They are saying that following your orders as well as instructions by Rasikh Jang Bahadur they have already sent their taxes. -- Another, contemporary translation of the contents is CC2/1, entry no. 13.
