A Journey through the Kingdom of Oude, Volumes I & II

CHAPTER VI
72/73

He languished under the discipline to which he was there subjected, and when on the point of death from what his friends call a _broken heart_, and the Government authorities _cholera-morbus_, he was released.

He died immediately after his return home, and Hushmut Allee was then seized and taken to Lucknow, where he is now confined.
The people here lament his absence as a great misfortune to the district, as he was the only one among them who ever had authority and influence, united with a fellow-feeling for the people, and a disposition to promote their welfare and happiness.* [* Hushmut Allee is still in confinement, but under the troops at Sundeela, and not at Lucknow.
