By this treaty it was stipulated that the king was to receive the cousin of Nasir Khan in marriage; and that the khan was to pay no tribate, but only, when called upon, to furnish troops to assist the armies, for which he was to receive an allowance in cash equal to half their pay.
The treaty of 1854 was renewed in 1876 by Lord Lytton (under Sandemans advice), and the khan received substantial aid from the government in the form of an annual subsidy of a lakh of rupees, instead of the Rs.
The treaty of 1876 renewed these terms, but utterly changed the policy of non-intervention which was maintained by the former, by the recognition of the sirdars as well as the khan, and by the appointment of the British government as referee in cases of dispute between them.
