compliance with his Orders, and able co-operation 
with British forces, that the peace, not only of the 
Hill States, but of a great portion of the Punjab, 
was preserved. The most powerful of these prinees, 
the Rajahs of Jheend and Kuppoortala, of Puttiala, 
Nubha, and Kylore, sent contingents, whieh dkl 
good Service in the field, and at Delhi, against the 
rebels. The remainder, with one exeeption, the 
Rajah of Bussahie, afforded the best assistance they 
were able in their separate localities, by preventing 
the spread of disaffection or revolt, and the necessity 
of still further subdividing the disposable British 
troops. Among these ehiefs the young Rajah of 
Jubal occupied a distinguished place, and thus justi- 
fied by his loyalty the confidence which had already 
been reposed in him. On the restoration of peace, 
and as a reward, a considerable permanent reduction 
was made in the amount of tribute to Government 
with which his estate is chargeable. 
No. 13. Chuttro Rajah. 
The Rajah’s connexion with the Rajpoot tribe is 
believed to be due rather to a succession of marriageä 
than to direct descent. 
No. 14. Rajah of Mundi and Ministers. 
_ Mundi, signifying a market-place, is a township 
situated on the left bank of the Beeas river. The 
last Rajah died in January, a.d. 1851. His son, 
Rajah Bijoy Sain, was then a child about three or 
four years old; and, for the management of the 
Mundi principality, a regeney was appointed, the 
President being Wuzeer Goosaen, a Khatree by caste, 
who, from a very humble position, had raised himself 
by his ability to the office of Prime Minister, another 
of the members being Meean Bhag Sing, the uncle 
of the Rajah. In the Photograph all these are re- 
presented : Rajah Bijoy Sain in the centre, Meean 
Bhag Sing on the right of the Rajah, and Wuzeer 
Goosaen on his left. 
The practice of Suttee was formerly earried on to 
a fearful extent by the Rajahs of Mundi, in common 
with all the principal Rajpoot families in the Kangra 
hills. Close to the entrance of the town of Mundi 
are several monumental stones, bearing representa- 
tions in relief, not only of the Rajahs of Mundi who 
have died, but of the women who have perished with 
them by the rite of Suttee. As one of these stones is 
set up on the death of each Rajah, there are memorials 
here of thousands of victims to the cruel rite of 
Suttee. With the last two Rajahs who died under 
Sikh rule (Rajahs Toree Sain and Zalim Sain), thirty- 
five women perished. With one, seventeen; and, 
with the other, eighteen. Of these thirty-five women, 
more than half were slave girls. The practice of 
Suttee was interdicted by the British Government in 
184(1. At the same time the Rajah of Mundi was 
called upon to put a stop to the practices of slave 
dealing, fetnale infanticide, and the hurnihg or 
drowning of lepers.

No. 19. Rajpoot of Bareilly. 
The suhject of this plate appears to be a sub- 
stantial farmer, or, perhaps, a banker, by the thin 
gold chain about his neck. He carries his sword as 
the invariable appendage of a Rajpoot gentleman, 
which he never discontinues in public ; and his plain 
suit of cloth, with brocade trousers and a shawl 
about his waist, form a costume at once simple and 
elegant.

hide, or of raw bullock or buffalo hide, pounded and 
cast, as it were, in a mould, which is nearly as strong.

two, ordinary swordsmen.
