2. The Thakur died in 1856 (sic) without a direct heir. The matter was not reported to the Government of India, but under instructions from Sir R. Hamilton, then Agent to the Governor-General at Indore, the Dhar State was informed that as the Thakurate had become vacant, the guarantee of the British Government was at an end. The widow of Thakur Bhagwant Singh, however, adopted Kunwar Dalel Singh and the adoption was confirmed by the Dhar State. When the case came under the notice of Government in 1864, it was decided that the abolition of the guarantee was contrary to the policy and previous practice of the British Government, The guarantee was therefore restored.
