He conside•red that when the Bengal Governetrot gave individuals per mission to embark in the Saltpetre. Trade, It was merely meant as an indulgence; and ' hen, after a trial of 12 months, it was found That the reperimest hindered the Company from foldiling the contract. which they had entered into for e large apply of saltpetre annually to this canary, the Government were jostified IN resuming the right they had tempo+ verily laid down.

Mr. llosse went ever all the feels of the case, and cambered the moments adduced by the nine Di rectors, who had dissected from the Re 'tattoo for granite( 75,000 ',IMMO to Mr. Wiliam/tn.

Be had examined all the documen'•, a -t/ betted I" move, as ets amendment, that the sum of 147,3.J0 repays be inserted, instead of 190,000. Mr. Twieteo seconded the am.•ndtaent. Mr. Es.ruterroec defended the conduct of chomp Directors who bed signed the Protest. He argued at some length, that Mr Wilkinson had no claim, either in law or equity, on the Cesspits*. Mr. biota stated to the Court the Course of pro. I ceedlog that had been adopted in the Committee of Warehouse,. On the r•fereea to this subject, that Committee considered the claim with /feet victim and deliberation. They attentively investigated the imperfect documents that were laid before them; an 4 if they bad no sore and cattalo date to proceed on, the fault was not theirs, bet that of Mr. Waking's, who bad not afforded them any. It was at Ant do teradned by that Committee to recommend • gnat of 76,000 rupees; bet it hiving been eel/coiled that the Board of Trade in India had *etiolated the loss 'retained by the claimant at 73,000 rupees it was deemed proper to adopt that sem, as it was fairly inferred, that the Board acted on evidence which the Committee of Warehouses was not in p f ion of. Sir C. Cocatneet. contended, that Me. Wilkinson bad a right to demand composition, founded oh every equitable principle by which the conduct of mercantile men was insisted. Mr. IMPIT said, as be understood the ease, he never knew any claim presented to any body of men, that had less ground to stand u,ron than the present. Mr. Mosel straggly advocated the claims of Mr. Wilkinson to compensation, He argued, that wiles the Government threw open the trade is saltpetre, obey not only permitted, bet encourage& persona to embark in it. The persona who bad so speculated were justified is relying on the good faith of Govern* ment, that a Resolatiou promulgated In so uuq•ali. lied a manner, would be perniseent ; and, if they were afterwards disappointed, and stsfi•7ed loss in consequence, they certainly ought to be regenerated, . , Mr. K. J•cason, in ili very eloquent speech, sop. 'ported the claim preferred by Mr. Wilkinson. He would not argot te• yeestion on the mend of lib,. runty, much lees on that of ceespossion. Unless the Proprietors avoid abstract the tontine from ell nett feelings; unless it was shown, that • certain son I was dee to this Greenman, independent of every personal consideration, he lied no claim on their purse; and, on the ether lAnd, if is justice he had serh a claim, hammy most fall on them if they re. jvcted it.
