"Major W. W. Anderson in his report on this subject No. 12/6 of 15th January 1863 has given good reasons for his opinion that the deed produced by the Srawak community is genuine, and was formerly so considered by the Palitana family. I concur in this view of the case but I do not now recommend Government to uphold the letter of the writing in question."

DECISION BY MAJOR KEATINGE
and
Award of Rs. 10,000.
The Shrawuck Community represented by:
Shet Dayabhaee Unopchund
Sha Tacursee Punjasha
Against the Thakoor Saheb of Palitana.
:
Claim the continuance in perpetuity of guranteed agreement regarding the Pilgrim tax taken from persons visiting the Shrines on the Shetroonjee Hill.
As directed in the letters of Government No. 1722 of 4th June and No. 1902 of 13th June 1863, I proceed to make, to the best of my ability, an equitable arrangement between the contending parties.
It is not my intention to review in any way the history of the quarrel, as within the last year it has been twice reported upon;
