the Hebbanama is made in the Life time of the Donor, But in the Iekraram even that is not necessary. I did not put the seal of Shah Baz Beg Khan to any Copy I would have been like an ass or a fool to have don so. From my Birth to this day I was never in Possession of the seal of Shah Baz Beg KHan. There is a great similitude in Hand writing. I did not see it wrote, I do not know whose writing I am of a certain opinion that Neeaz Ally wrote to tthis Paper Exhibit N. In the Foujdarry before the Kazee he acknowledged it to be his Hand writing and I know that he used to Copy the Law Papers of Shah Baz Beg Khan, I did not see either of the Papers Exhibits N and P written – Exhibit P. It is some thing like the Handwriting of Neaz Ally but I do not think it is his. One of the two was enough for my Purpose to send to Cabool had I been a Forgerer I should written both.
