he Nabob Fyzoola Khan, Major Palmer aforesaid did communicate to the Resident, Bristow, and through the said Resident to the Council-General of Bengal, the full and direct denial of the Nabob Fyzoola Khan to all and every of the charges made or pretended to be made against him, as follows. "Fyzoola Khan persists in denying the infringement on his part of any one article in the treaty, or the neglect of any obligation which it imposed upon him. "He does not admit of _the improvements reported to be made_ in his jaghire, and even asserts that the collections this year will fall short of the original _jumma_ [or estimate] by reason of the long drought. "He denies having exceeded the limited number of Rohillas in his service; "And having refused the required aid of cavalry, made by Johnson, to act with General Goddard.

That the said Palmer did not hint any doubt of the deficiency affirmed by Fyzoola Khan in the collections for the current year: and, That, if any increase of jumma did truly exist, whatever it may have been, the said Palmer did acknowledge it "to have been solemnly relinquished (in a private agreement) by the Vizier."
