Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Works of the Right Honorable Edmund Burke, Vol. 12 My lords, - We will now resume the consideration of the remaining part of our charge, and of the prisoners attempts to defend himself against it. Mr. Hastings, well knowing (what your Lordships must also by this time be perfectly satisfied was the case) that this unfortunate Nabob had no will of his own, draws down his poor victim to Chunar by an order to attend the Governor-General. If the Nabob ever wrote to Mr. Hastings, expressing a request or desire for this meeting, his letter was unquestion ably dictated to him by the prisoner. We have laid a ground of direct proof before you, that the Nabob´s being at Chunar, that his proceedings there, and that all his acts were so dictated, and consequently must be so construed. I shall now proceed to lay before your Lordships the acts of oppression committed by Mr. Hastings through his two miserable instruments: the one, his passive instrument, the Nabob; the other, Mr. Middleton, his active instrument, in his subsequent plans for the entire destruction of that country. In page 513 of the printed Minutes you have Mr. Middleton´s declaration of his promptitude to represent every thing agreeably to Mr. Hastings´s wishes.
