a city of Hindustan, in the province of Bundelcund. It is a very ancient town, having been established by rajah Chuttersal, the founder of the short-lived independence of Bundelcund, who occasionally made it his residence. It was in consequence a very flourishing city, and an important commercial mart, being a great entrepot of trade between Benares and the Deccan, and at a very short distance from the diamond mines of Pannah. The town is still a thriving place, but maintains its prosperity less by its transit trade than by its manufactures. The principal articles of fabrication are paper and coarse cutlery. The territory, of which this town is the chief place, contains an area of 1240 square miles, with a population of 120,000. The revenue is stated at L30,000 per annum; and a military force of 100 cavalry and 1000 infantry is maintained by the chief. As Pertaub Singh, the present rajah, has no male issue, the territory, upon his decease, would have lapsed to the paramount power; in acknowledgment, however, of the fidelity of the present rajah and his predecessor, and of the beneficial administration of Pertaub Singh, the British government has recognized a successor to the present rajah in the person of his grand-nephew Juggut Singh, whom Pertaub wishes to adopt. Distance from Agra 180 miles; from Calcutta 600. Lat. 24. 55.; Long. 79. 39.
