The prince, a youth of eighteen, was in his heart opposed to the proclaimed minister and the Rajas of Jammu; but the ascendancy of one Chet Singh over the weak mind of the Maharaja, and Kharak Singh's own desire of resting upon the influence of the British agent, induced the two parties to coalesce, first for the destruction of the minion, and

Lord Auckland hastily desired Sher Singh to be told Kharak Singh was his master.
