The chieftain of this state having been convicted of the murder of his brother, was deposed and banished by the British government, who assumed the management of affairs during the minority of his son. He, however, when he assumed the power in 1838, found himself totally unable to conduct the government, and at his own request, the country was again put temporarily under British administration. The annual revenue is estimated at L.6632, and the population at 120,000.
