Revenues.
| Rupees. | |
| Lachhman Singh, of Sikar, including Khandela | 800,000 |
| Abhai Singh, of Khetri, including Kotputli, given by Lord Lake | 600,000 |
| Shyam Singh, of Baswa, including his brother Ranjit’s share of 40,000 (whom he killed) | 190,000 |
| Gyan Singh, of Nawalgarh, including Mandao, each fifty villages | 70,000 |
| Lachhman Singh, Mendsar, the chief sub-infeudation of Nawalgarh | 30,000 |
| Tain and its lands, divided amongst the twenty-seven great-grandsons of Zorawar Singh, eldest son of Sadhu | 100,000 |
| Udaipurvati | 100,000 |
| Manoharpur[[25]] | 30,000 |
| Larkhanis | 100,000 |
| Harramjis | 40,000 |
| Girdharpotas | 40,000 |
| Smaller estates | 200,000 |
| 2,300,000 | |

The tribute established by Jaipur is as follows:—
| Rupees. | |
| Sadhanis | 200,000 |
| Fatehpur | 64,000 |
| Udaipur and Babhai | 22,000 |
| Kasli | 4,000 |
| 350,000 |
Thus, supposing the revenues, as stated, at twenty-three lakhs, to be near the truth, and the tribute at three and a half, it would be an assessment of one-seventh of the whole, which is a fair proportion, and a measure of justice which the British Government would do well to imitate.
[1]. Dhūs is an expedient to hasten the compliance of a demand from a dependent. A party of horse proceeds to the township, and are commanded to receive so much per day till the exaction is complied with. If the dhūs is refused, it is considered tantamount to an appeal to arms. [Dhūsnā means ‘to butt like an ox,’ hence ‘to coerce.’]
[2]. Franklin, in his Life of George Thomas, describes this battle circumstantially; but makes it appear an affair of the Jaipur court, with Thomas and the Mahrattas, in which the Shaikhawats are not mentioned. Thomas gives the Rajput chivalry full praise for their gallant bearing.—Memoir of George Thomas, p. 109. [The battle was fought early in 1799 at Fatehpur, about 145 miles N.W. of Jaipur city (Compton, European Military Adventurers, 146 ff.).]
