It was alleged by the plaintiff, that Kashmiri Mull, under pretence of an order from the late Raja to remit 50,000 rupees to Calcutta on account of Mr. Fowke, appropriated that sum, from the Raja's treasury, to his private use; and the plaintiff accordingly sued to recover the amount from the heirs of Kashmiri Mull. The defendants denied the embezzlement imputed to their father, and pleaded, that an order had been given to him by the late Raja for the payment of the sum in question to Mr. Fowke, through Mr. James Grant, who succeeded him as Resident; and that the sum was remitted to Messrs. Cockerell and Co, Mr. Fowke's agents at Calcutta. The defendants further pleaded, that more than 17 years had elapsed since the alleged cause of action arose. The principal evidence brought forward by the plaintiff, in support of his claim, was apurwanna dated the 9th of November 1789, by Mr. Duncan, then Resident at Benares, relating to points investigated by order of Government, in consequence of complaints preferred by Raja Mahipnaraen against Mr. James Grant.

Jowahir Singh filed a petition praying that his name might be admitted as anAppellant also, but he neglected to attend the Court. The case was brought finally to a. hearing on the 23d of January 1823, before the Third and Officiating Judges (S.-T. Goad and WV. Dorin.) All the papers having been read at difi'erent times, the opinion of the Court was finally delivered as follows: --In the transaction between the parties, an interest of one percent. was originally stipulated, and afterwards a separate obligation was executed for interest of eight annas per cent. per mensem, under the name of mihnytana, in addition to the interest specified in the original bond, being more than is sanctioned by the 15th Regulation of 1793; and by the 9th Section of the same enact ment, in the event of any underhand agreement being made to exact illegal interest and evade the Regulation, on the application of the lender, no other order can be passed by the Judge than the dismission of his suit.
