[Footnote 160: This seems to want explanation. Probably Courtin had got into some sort of house used for religious ceremonies, such as are often found in or close to the market-places of great landowners.] [Footnote 161: He probably refers to Mr. Luke Scrafton.] [Footnote 162: I.e. from his entrenchments.] [Footnote 163: "Courtin and his party arrived here the 10th. They are 6 soldiers, Dutch, German and Swede, such as took service with the French when our Factory at Dacca fell into the hands of Surajeh Dowleit, 4 gentlemen, some Chitagon (_sic_) fellows and about 20 peons. Courtin, on his way hither, has, by mischance, received a ball through his shoulder. They demanded _honneurs de la guerre_, which Drake has not understood" (_Scrafton to Clive, March_ 12, 1758).] [Footnote 164: According to Orme, Courtin's force was reduct from 30 to 11 Europeans, and from 100 to 30 sepoys.] [Footnote 165: The manuscript I translate from contains only the postscript of the 10th of August.] [Footnote 166: A translation. Clive generally wrote to French officers in their own language.] [Footnote 167: Such honours were not uncommonly granted. Law was made a Colonel, so was another French partisan named Madec. On the other hand, when a French gentleman had the choice, he often put his elder son in the Company's service and the younger in the army. Law's younger brother was in the army. Renault's elder son was in the Company and the younger in the army.] [Footnote 168: Appended to "Bengal Public Proceedings," May 31, 1759.] [Footnote 169: I do not know whether this "Memorial" still exists, but see "Memoirs of Count Lally," p. 53.] [Footnote 170: "Memoirs of Count Lally," p. 367.] INDEX Abdulla Khan Admiralty, the English Aeneas Afghan General, the _See_ Abdulla Khan Agra Ahmed Khan Koreishi Alamgir II., Emperor, assassinated November 29, 1759 Ali Gauhar _See_ Shah Alam Aliverdi Khan his opinion of Europeans sister of Allahabad Amina Begum, mother of Siraj-ud-daula Anquetil du Perron, M.
