A 2d Depos— of Cojah Zaccariah taken for the Plf Naderah Begum, at the same trial of the action at Law, on 10 Dec: 1778. I did affix my seal at Request of Shah Baz Beg Khan to a Hebbanama before his death, on the 13, 14 or 15th of Ramzan in the Hegira Year 1190, Shah Baz Beg Khan gave into my Hands the Hebbanama told me that he had given all to his wife and desired me to affix my seal to it, There was his own Seal to it, and that of no other Person. When he desired me to put mine, it was in his own house, there were no other Persons present except possibly his servants, by that Expression I mean the House I always lived in with him, I know this Paper Exhibit N, it is the same Hebbam of which I before spoke. This was a month and three days before the death of Shah Baz Beg Khan for he died on the 28th of Shawal and this was on the 13, 14, or 15 of Ramzan. 15 Days remd of the former month and 28 of the latter, It will be a month and 13 days – Shah Baz Beg Khan was at this time in Good Health and his understanding was better than mine. After I had put my seal to this paper Shah Baz Beg Khan folded it up and put it into his Pocket. I said Khan Saheb why don’t you get other People to put their seals to it, why don’t you get Bahhader Beg to put his seal to it. my meaning in asking this was that he should be [called?] to put his seal together with me – Shah Baz Beg Khan answered: Bahhader Beg has committed Murder. It is not necessary that he should put his seal ot it do you put yours. I asked Shah Baz Beg Khan why he desired me to put my seal to it. He answered you are my own sister’s son, and you are a man of learning it is very good
