No. 119, dated 6th December, 1869
From — Dr.R.Brown, Polotical Agent, Munnipore.
To — C.U. Aitchidon, Esq., Officiating Secretary to Gov’t of India, Foreign Dept.
I have the honor to inform you that a deputation of nine Loosais from the Chiefs Vonolail and Poyboy arrived in Munnipore on the 26th of last month.
2. The Loosai messengers have brought with them one Naga woman who was carried off in the raid by Vonpilal on village in Munnipore territory in October 1868, a percussion gun, a sword handle, and the skull of the Soobedar killed on the taking of the Kala Naga stockade in Frebuary last. These messengers express themselves anxious for forgiveness; but as they have not acted up to the promises they formerly made, as reported in my letter No. 77, of 17th July 1869, to give up all the arms and prosioners in their hands as a preliminary to any arrangement being made with them, I have advised the Raja to make no promises whatever until they do so.
3. In consequence of this, and as it would appear that the Loosais are really anxious for foregiveness, five of the above messengers have voluntarily remained behind as hostages, and the other four have gone back to bring the remainder of the captives, guns, &c., in their hands.
4. The woman returned by the Loosais has very little to communicate. She was well treated; she states that the Losais appear to anticipate a fore entering their country this cold season either from Munnipore or Cachar, and that all the villagers are greatly frightened and ready for flight should troops enter the country.
5. Since my letter on the subject of the Loosais, No.109, of date 1st November 1869, a force of Munnipories has established itself in a good position commanding the roads leading to the Loosai Country, about two days’ march south from the Kowpoom valley. On the road to this place, named Chubong, one day from the Government Road, the force came on traces of the Loosais, and they were followed up, though not over taken, by a portion of the troops, for a considerable distance in the direction of the Loosai country. From the paucity of the numbers supposed to have been present, it is conjectured that the Loosais were there simply as spies and to give notice of any force in the direction of their country.
(Sd.) Dr. R.BROWN

No. 37, dated 1st April, 1870
From — Dr.R.Brown, Polotical Agent, Munnipore.
To — C.U. Aitchidon, Esq., Officiating Secretary to Gov’t of India, Foreign Dept.
I have the honor to address you on the subject of the Loosai tribe of Kookies, important information having been recently brought from their country by some Munniporie and Khom Kookie messengers sent for the purpose od ascertaining, if possible, who committed the raid on Munnipore territory reported in my letter to your address No.4, of date 13th January 1870.
The following is the statement of Amoo Soobedar, the Munnipore in charge of the above party, which consisted of three Munnipories, two Khom Kookies, and two of the five Loosais who remained behind in Munnipore from a deputation which came to treat with the Munnipories in November last, as reported in my letter No.119, of date 6th December 1869. I have taken the Soobedar’s statement verbatim. He says — “I with the others left Munnipore in January last with orders to ascertain, if possible, who committed the raid of December last, and to inform the Loosais that Mr.Edgar proposed visiting them; I also had with me a letter from the Raja to Mr.Edgar. We first proceeded to the Loosai village of Boomhang, containing about 300 houses, and six days’ journey from Munnipore valley. The Chief of the village is named Boomhang. The villagers were apparently unfriendly, but did not molest us. The Chief asked us on what business we came. I replied, we want to know who committed the raid on the village near Moirang; we also wish to deliver this letter to Mr.Edgar or allow the Munnipories to do so, giving as a reason that they and Mr.Edgar being now on friendly terms, there was no occasion to deliver it. (The letter in question was finally left in the hands of the Loosais belonging to the village of a Chief named Lalboom). From Boomhang, we went to the village of the Chief Lalboom, two days further on. Lalboom sent to the head Chief, Vonolail, to inform him of the arrival of the messengers. Vonolail, five days afterwards, sent five of his head-men to Lalboom’s village. The following Chiefs also came or sent their head-men. The Chiefs who came were Poiboi, accompanied by his mother – Lairee, Boomhang, Surot, Kongnoong, Lawsaw, Lalboom, Lenkum and Vonolail sent their head-men. When all were assembled, we were asked why we had come, and we replied as we had to go to Boomhang. They said the raid was committed but the Poee Tribe, but when I proposed to go on to the Poee country to make enquiries, they said we shall not allow you, but will ourselves enquire. They also said — Why have you not brought back the three Loosais now in Munnipore? Send them back at once. I replied — Three men remained voluntarily in Munnipore, and are not detained either by the orders of the Raja or the Political Agent. The two Loosais who accompanied us then said — Apparently we were at liberty, but the Munnipories would not have allowed us to go if we had wished. The Chiefs then said, until the three Loosais return from Munnipore we will neither deliver Mr.Edgar’s letter ourselves or allow you to do so: they also said, we have offered presents to the Raja and desire peace, but we will not give up any prisioners or guns taken from the Munnipories. Mr.Edgar has agreed to make up matters with us. “A bridge has been made over the bosies of the slain;” he has not asked us to give up anything taken from Cachar and has given us presents. Why should the Munnipore Raja want more? If you do not agree to this, we will take possession of the Cachar road, and not allow any one to pass between it and Munnipore. We will utterly destroy the Khongjai tribe of Kookies; we will invade Munnipore valley, make coolies of the Munnipories, and eat all their ponies and cattle.
“I replied that they (the Loosais) had commenced disturbances and had committed the fault; but if they desired to renew hospitalities, they might to do so, as we were not afraid of them; also that the orders we had were not to make matters up with them until the muskets and prisioners taken from Munnipore were given up. The Loosais then said, if you do not agree to this, we will kill you. I replied, if it is your will, do so; we must obey the orders we have received. They then said, Morindrojeet (or Choeeahoom), a former Munniporie raider and pretender, who was transported by the British in 2857 or 1858) has arrived amongst us when we attack Munnipore.”
“After this a communication was made to the Chief Vonolail, who agreed with others. I agreed to send back the three Loosais on returning to Munnipore, when we did.”
A few questions were put to the Soobedar, and other matters mentioned by him independently of the above narrative. The Loosais during the above conference denied that they had ever promised to return either guns or prisioners taken from the manipoories as a preliminary to an arrangement for peace. This is a barefaced falsehood, as the proportion to give up gund, &c., came originally from them. When the letter to Mr. Edgar was tendered to the Loosais, they said in a sneering manner — “Your Raja has become very great lately, and has joined the Faringhee Sahibs. Look! the Sahibs have paid us tribute” (alluding to a number of presents which they say were given to them by Mr. Edgar). The Soobedar was closely question as to the ‘tribute’ part of the above, and he states that the word used by the Loosais, whose language he understands, was “I loo nay,” what the Loosais says means tribute; he also says I understood from what the Loosais said that they were under the impression that the presents given by the two “Feringhee Sahibs,” as they called Mr. Edgar and Major Macdonald, were given on account of their (the Sahibs) being afraid of them. The Soobedar from what he saw of the Loosais, considers that they are ripe for disturbances; he also thinks that the Loosais, and not the Poee or Shendoo tribe, commited the raid in Munnipore in December last.
