It states that the Samaria will deliver to the Jamats the letter
of the Sircar and inform them respecting the one tenth grants, that
were asked in aid of the Sircar's marriage gifts to the King of Kings
(the Shah of Persia.) He also says that the dues hitherto paid, have
not been sufficient or equal to the proper amount. Now from this,
it is quite clear my Lord, that there was some fixed amount payable
by the Jamat to the Pir, that it was clearly understood, and that
properly, the dues were to be paid at the end of three months.
Another letter from the Agais dated March 1824, in which one fifth
is asked for. In a letter dated November or December 1825, the Aga
refers to the existence of the regular accounts kept between himself
and the Jamais and appoints persons to go and adjust such accounts.
A letter of October 1825, shows there was a well understood system
of tribute and account practiced by all the Khoja Jamats, for sjoeaking
of certain places the Aga says, the Jamat have transgressed his rights and
he " will not allow it" and he evidently treats the whole matter, quite
as one of business. And yet this is the Pir who, the plaintiffs pre-
tend, did not set himself up until 1831 !
And now my Lord, I proceed to speak of the Duftars or account-
books of the Khojas. These books have been in the custody of
the Master in Equity, since the former suit. One of them is a
Guzerati account book of the Bombay Jamat, containing the cash
account for 180C-7. At page 13, under date of 10th January
1807 there is an account with the Shri Sircar Sahibi (i. e. the Aga.)
Then there is a credit to the Tanna Jamat, of Rs. 325, sent to
the Bombay Jamat for transmission to the Aga as Pir. In the
same book, for the same year there is a credit to the Malum Jamat
of Rs. 1300 received for transmission to the Pir, and the payment of
this sum to the Bombay Jamat appears in the account book of the
Mahim Jamat. The same book of the Bombay Jamat contains
a credit for Rs. 46-4-0 received for mayment to the Sircar, from
the friends of a deceased person in Muscat. Then on the 9th April
1807, there is a sum debited to the " Durkhana," which is explained
as meaning the residence of the Pir. This item was for money ex-
pended on goods bought for the Pir and sent to his residence, and
thus it seems they credit the Pir with all money received on his
account, and debit him with the goods bought with part of such
funds, The Bombay Jumat appears to have received the dues from
