The inhabitants demanded the protection of the Rana, and the pattayats were changed; and now the inhabitants grant in rakhwali one hundred and twenty-five bighas as bhum to Fateh Singh[3.a.36] [204]. No. IX _Grant of Bhum by the Inhabitants of the Town of Dongla to Maharaja Zorawar Singh, of Bhindar._ To Sri Maharaja Zorawar Singh, the Patels, traders, merchants, Brahmans, and united inhabitants of Dongla, make agreement. Formerly the ‘runners’ in Dongla were numerous: to preserve us from whom we granted bhum to the Maharaja. To wit: One well, that of Hira the oilman. One well, that of Dipa the oilman. One well, that of Dewa the oilman. In all, three wells, being forty-four bighas of irrigated (_piwal_), and one hundred and ninety-one bighas of unirrigated (_mal_) land. Also a field for juar. _Customs or Dignities (Maryad) attached to the Bhum._ 1st. A dish (_kansa_) on every marriage. 2nd. Six hundred rupees ready cash annually. 3rd. All Bhumias, Girasias, the high roads, passes from raids and ‘runners,’ and all disturbances whatsoever, the Maharaja must settle. When the Maharaja is pleased to let the inhabitants of Dongla reinhabit their dwellings, then only can they return to them.[3.a.37] Written by the accountant Kacchia, on the full moon of Jeth, S. 1858, and signed by all the traders, Brahmans, and towns-people. ------------------ No. X _Grant of Bhum by the Prince of Mewar to an inferior Vassal._ Maharana Bhim Singh to Baba Ram Singh, commanding. Now a field of two hundred and twenty-five bighas in the city of Jahazpur, with the black orchard (_sham bagh_) and a farm-house (_nohara_) for cattle, has been granted you in bhum. Your forefathers recovered for me Jahazpur and served with fidelity; on which account this bhum is renewed. Rest assured no molestation shall be offered, nor shall any pattayat interfere with you. _Privileges._
