Instead of protecting the subjects by these means, if the sovereign should abandon true justice… we the rioters do hereby particularly announce that we are determined to die in the struggle, rather than give government any respite.

Should government… still proceed on to levy punitive fines, we are determined to become syeds (martyrs) of our cause; and have also arranged with certain hindu friends of ours to chop off the heads of such of those and others as so found with the accounts to levy the said punitive fines.

Believing that these particulars will receive special attention we, the rioters, proceed to assume the role of syeds (martyrs).
