talents and genuine Sikh feelings of Hari Singh Nalwa by giving him the command on the Peshawar frontier; while his ancient companion, Fateh Singh Ahluwalia,
remained, with increased wealth, the only representative of the original 'Misals', and Desa Singh Majithia enjoyed the Maharaja's esteem and confidence as governor of Amritsar and of the Jullundur Doab.' 1 Cf. Murray, Ranjit Singh, pp. 84, 113, 125, 147; Munshi Shahamat All's Sikhs and Afghans, chaps, iv and vii; and, with regard to Aziz-ud-din and Desa Singh, see Moorcroft, Travels, i. 94, 98, 110, &c. Lieut.-Col. Lawrence's work, The Adventurer in the Punjab, and Capt. Osborne's Court and Camp of Ranjit Singh, likewise contain some curious information about the Maharaja's chiefs and favourites; and the author has had the further advantage of referring to a memorandum on the subject, drawn up by Mr. Clerk for Lord Ellenborough. Mohkam Chand has already been alluded to (see ante, p. 136), and the Brahman Diwan Chand may also be mentioned. He was the real commander when Multan was stormed, and he led the advance when Kashmir was at last seized. Of genuine Sikhs, too, Mit'h Singh Behrania was distinguished as a brave
and generous soldier.
