MINOR CHRONICLES : IX. CHIEFS OF KO-LON 205
In 1870, when an English Mission, under Mr. Tāmas Daglas Forsāth
(Thomas Douglas Forsyth), was sent to Yārkand by the Indian Government, I went with
it. Since the English Mission was not permitted to go outside its camp, which was
in Yangi Shahr,l without the permission of Atāliq Ghāzī, the Wālī of Yārgand, I, in my
own person, and in accordance with the orders of Mr. Forsāth of the English Mission,
came out of the camp and measured the circumference of the ramparts by pacing, and
made a map, which is reproduced in the book of travels of the above-mentioned English
gentleman, and of which the method of preparation is mentioned in paragraph 176
of the travels.
In September, 1871, my father, Thākur Tara Chand, voluntarily resigned
from the office of Honorary Magistrate and Honorary Extra Assistant Commissioner.
The Government accepted my father's resignation, and in place of my revered father
appointed your humble servant to this office of Honorary Magistrate and Honorary
Extra Assistant Commissioner ; and those powers of a Magistrate of the third grade
and civil powers up to Rs. 100 were bestowed upon me ; and your humble servant,
too, was appointed Sub-Registrar in the place of his revered father.
In 1872, with the approval of Government, his [my father's] name was
entered as a Member of the Committee of Local Rates of the District of Kangrah.
In 1876, in appreciation of the social position of his family and his services,
the title of Wazir was bestowed by Government on him, reference Letter No. 606,
dated 30th March, 1876, from the Secretary to the Government of the Panjāb to the
Secretary to the Financial Commissioner in answer to Your Honour's letter No. 278,
dated 17th of the same month.
In addition to this, my revered father, Thākur Tara Chand, obtained the
honour of a seat in the Governor's Darbār, and now your humble servant's name, too,
is found in the list of the Governor's darbāris, being number 42 of the list ; and, like
other chiefs and Rajas, I have five armed retainers exempted from the provisions of
the Indian Arms Act.
9th April, 1885.
Thākur Hari Chand, Wazir—Honorary Magistrate and Honorary Civil Judge
of Lahul in the District of Kāngrah.
(Later additions, not in the Urdū original.)
15. In the year 1900 A.D. Thakur Hari Chand died, and Thākur Amar Chand
succeeded to the jāgir of Ko-lop. My claim to the offices of Honorary Wazir, Trade
and Civil Judge of Lahul was acknowledged, and my cousin Thākur Jai Chand was
appointed Wazir of Lahul during my minority. In June, 1903, on coming of age,
I was appointed Honorary Magistrate and Civil Judge of Lahul. I have held the office
since then, and have filled it to the full satisfaction of my superior officers. During
the absence of Thākur Jai Chand I have also acted as Sub-Registrar of Lahul. I have
also been acting as an assistant to the Military Transport Registration Department.
In June, 1906, Mr. H. Calvert, Assistant Commissioner of Kula, proposed
to visit certain places in Tibet and to take me along with him. I accepted his offer.
