Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings at a General Court of Proprietors of East-India Stock, Held at the India-House, on Friday, November 7, 1783, Relative to the Hon. Warren Hastings, Governor General of Bengal In order to elucidate the following important debate, we wish to bring to the recollection of the public, the following circumstances: On the 28th of May, 1782, the late Lord Advocate of Scotland proposed a resolution in the House of Commons, "That it was the duty of the Court of Directors to recal Mr. Hastings from the Government of Bengal." On the 18th of June following, the Court of Proprietors resolved, that the Directors were not to carry into effect any resolution they might come to for the removal of Mr. Hastings, without laying it before a General Court. On the 23d of October, 1782, after violent debates at the India House, thirteen Directors voted for the removal of Mr. Hastings - ten Directors opposed the measure, and seven of these gentlemen protested against it in the strongest manner. On the 24th, this resolution was laid before a General Court, when it was fully and ably debated, and the following motion was made by Governor Johnstone, and seconded by Samuel Smith, jun. Esq. member for Ilchester. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
