For this leosts Sandana Balan offered to do the work for Pags. 1,900, on condition that the slaves made use of in construction should be provided by the Fort inhabitants.7 The sums actually disbursed for buildings from November 1721 to March 1722 are given in the monthly accounts-total, Pags. 41,951-12-448 After Hugonin’s return to England, the Frenchman St. George,, who resided behind the Burying Ground in Black

Sinee the era of President Baker, disputes between the Right and Left hand Castes had occurred from time to time.

The garrison was accordingly called out to quell the rioting, and the Governor appointed Mr. Raworth, then Paymaster, and also the Gungan to survey the petta, and endeavour to adjust the differences in consultation with Mr. Chamberlen, the Head of the Right hand and Left hand Castes, respectively. In July Mr. Raworth and the Gungan produced ‘a Draft of all the Streets and Buildings in Mediamettpetta.
