Accepting of bills on Madrass or any other placo in part of their Sales
may bo attonded with very ill consequences unless the drawer gives sufficient
security for answering the sum with Interest on any default; It is the more
necessary to give them this caution from what they write of the last drawer of
a bill payable at Surat having withdrawn, so that they could not obtain
satisfaction for interest & tho difference of time it was actually payable in
interest of what the drawer assurod them and at last was paid only by
transfer.

PUBLIC DEPARTMENT DIARY No. 17.
Bombay Castle, April 20th, 1744.
In the Evening imported the Jenny Captain Leonard Mr. Cristopher Gombroon, Letter
Cradook Super Cargoe from Gombroon. from.
By her received Letter from the Agent and Council dated the 2nd Confn«ion in the
Instant and advises that the confusion in the Country on revolt of Tockey Caun orreloit’of’Tbckey

succeed it will be attended with some expeuoe. They bad procured the
merchants Notes for the cloth Lead and rice, they let the Beglerberggy
have, for which he gave assignments on His Naib, but as it is on account
Customs due from those merchants, it may hereafter be disputed as not having
the King’s authority to pay his money for what Toggy Caun had taken.
