Agra Fort, August 18, 1857.
(Memorandum )

With the concurrence of Lieut.-Col. Cotton, com-
manding at Agra, a detachment of European soldiers,
artillery, and mounted militia, will proceed to Hattrads,
in the Allygurh district, leaving Agra at 4 p.m., 20th
instant.

Captain Nixon is directed to place the elephants, lent
by the Bhurtpore State, with their establishment, at the
disposal of the officer commanding the detachment. It
is the particular wish of the Government that every pos-
sible care may be taken of tbese animals, which belong
to a foreign state, and that the servants in charge of
them may be uniformly treated with kindness and eon-
sideratiln, It will, no doubt, be practicable to assign
to one of ihe militia the special duty of carrying out the
wishes of Government in this respect.
Dr. Clarke is directed to arrange for as many waggons
and carts of the Government bullock train and private
compauiesa4 practicable being collected and crossed over
the river, to be in readiness for the party on their arrival.
The requisite cattle will be hired for this purpose at
the public charge, and maintained for service whenever
required, with a sufficient number for relays on the road.
Dr. Clarke will further take immediate measures for
establishing a postal communication between Agra and
Hattrass, for despatch twice a day, and for transmission
of the expresses when necessary.
He should also put himself in communication with
Lalla Jotee P‘rsaud, for the purpose of his arranging for
the re-establishment of horse vans on this line of road,
for the convenience of travellers and supplies.

The object of this movement is to give protection to
important town of Hattrass, which has hitherto escaped
being plundered; to establish authority in this portion of
the Allygurii district; to give confidence to the loyal
Thaleokdara, whose possessions are in the neghbourhood
of Hattrass; and to frustrate the attempt of certain
rebels to usurp the authority of the British Government
in other portions of the Allygurh district.
Mr. Cocks is appointed commissioner with full powers
of the Revenue Board, superintendent of police, and ses-
sions judge in the district of Allygurh ; he will exercise
the powers of special commissioner under acts xiv. and
xvi. of 1857 ; and under act xviii. of 1857 he is further
authorised to issue a commission for the trial of muti•
news and leeerters, whenever this procedure may be
preferred to the trial of such offenders before him, as
sessions judge.
Pending arrangements for the deputation of a magis-
trate and callector, Messrs. C. J. Daniell and E. Colvin
are vested vith the powers of joint magtetrwe and deputy
eo!l.ctor within the same limits, and in subordination to
Mr. C )cke, by whose advice and orders they will be
guided.
Mr. Cocks is empowered to invest Mr. P. Saunders
and Mr. J. O'B. Tandy with the powers of joint magis
trate in such localities during such periods, and under
such restrictions as he may deem fit. The Government is
desirous that the loyal Thalookdars, especially those
through whole influence this portion of the country has
been maintained in comparative quietness and security,
should receive the full support and approbation of the
Government ; they should be encouraged to give the
assistance of their tenants and armed retainers to lawful
authority, and to enlist for the service of Government
amongst them, a number of light horsemen, who, after
inspection and approval by the commissioner, will be
formally enrolled and employed on such duties as be
may direct : he will submit his recommendation of the
pay to officers and men of such levies for the approval of
Government.

The Thesildar of Hattrass will be maintained in his
position and authority, and will proceed under the direc-
tions of the commissioner, to realise the balance of
revenue due to Government, and to arrange for the re-
mittance of the same to Agra, reserving a sufficient sum
to meet requisite expenses at Hattrase.
Copies of these orders will be communicated to the
c.,m►nissioner of Meerut for his information.
By order of the Hon. the Lieut.-Governor, North
Western Provinces, C. B. THORNHILL,
