A General Court of Proprietors of Fit India stock was this day held, by adjournment, at the Company's House in Leadenliall-street, for the purpose of proceeding in the consideration of a motion made in the General Court on the 24th March, to approve a Resolution of the Court of Di rectors, of the 17th February, granting to Mr. Janie@ IV ' t!known, under the circutostsoces therein stated, the sum of 75,000 siccu rupees, at its. the current rupee, with interest thereon, at Piz per crut. per tumults, from the 11111 October, 1816, to the dry when payment shall be made. The minutes of the last Court haring been read —and certain papers laid before the Court, to conformity with the By-Laws the CHAIRMAN (Campbell llarjoribanks, Esq.) briefly stated the business which the Proprietors were assembled to consider. [lt may here be necessary to observe, that Mr. Wilkinson was, fur many years, a free merchant, in India. The Cam. pany, from the year 176.3, had etijoyed a m puly of the saltpetre trade; but, by a revolution honed by the Besor.ll Government, in 1812, they threw open the trade in that commodity. The conseipience was, that Mr. Wilkinson was Induced to embark very extensively in that trade. He enter ed into contracts fur a supply of saltpetre. will , "" 14 in i"di viduats, its the province Behrar, fur five years. The Besmal Government, however, suddenly resumed the mono poly, and thus defeated his hopes of profit. He complained lo the Governor-General Ist Council on the subject, and the list to Mr. Wilkinson to result was, It. . permission was given . 0....__ putted with the contracts into which he bail entered, on his giving security not to reuse to be manufactured a greater quantity of saltpetre than he hod originally con tracted for—and secondly, that he should not employ any of the N0011E44141 (or saltpetre isaisufacturers) who were in debted to the Company. Mr. Wilkinson endeavoured to avail himself of this permission —hut, notwithstanding his uncessiug efforts, lie could neither procure from the proper authorities a statemetit of the snivels. of securities, which it was expected he shoield give, nor a list of the Nownealte iu balance with the Company. The coneemtence was, that his opportunity of realising a large property by his spear latiau m saltpetre was totally destroyed. lie applied far redress to the Indian G u irernmens, and hie coat was referred to the Board of Trade. They reported in his favour. The Governor in Council then referred his case to ■ Special COM 'mince of live, elm awarded hint a still larger rentaiserviitm. laressever i after six years of atimetv, Mr. Wilkia sou's claim fur reillsilefalteil was laid before lice Court of Bstecters fur ailjndicatiou—and a majority et' that Court on the 17th of February, that Mr. Wilkinson should receive ?Spun sires rupees, at 2.. each, with interest at six per cent. fruin October, 1816. This pied was brought before the General Cued on the 24th of March, ■nil uu aCCOllkat of the Imams' uf the hoer, In Ibis day.) The proceedings of the Court of Directors of the 17th oh February, granting a suits of 75,000 ✓icer rupees to Mr. Wilkinsine, founded on the Report of the Committee of Buying raid Ware houses—slid also the p►otest of nine of the Direc tors to the said Resolution, welt read. lit the lat ter document, the dissentients 'aimed to admit that Mr. Wolkitisoit had made out wily case on which the Court hail a right to proceed. They conceived it would be improper to compensate Gentleman fur losses not siilrstatitirted. This. they observed, was a speculation. and might or might not have succeeded ; therefore, it was impro per to ►peak of a positive loss—and 6.r such a loss only could the Company be ausweruble. They also obaerved. that if Mr. Wilkiiition had r fair ground of Orlin, so also had Dhoolum Dora. the person who hod contracted to supply hint with salt. petre, who. of course, expected a certinii profit, sod who►e prospects were es completely blighted or those " Loudon, 30th March, 1819." The CHAIRMAN sad, before lie put the goes lino, lie wished to state, that. as the sum which they were called on to dispose of was a very large one, 1w held in hi. hand a list of nine Proprietors, who requested that there should be a ballot on the question. Mr. HUME wished the list to be read. Mr. R. JAcKsom treated the requivition as au absurdity, since at present there was no question on which a ballot could be demanded. Mr. A. Rottman said, that there was no eh., , su►dity whatever in the case. The Hon. Chairman had merely stated, for the information of the Court, thirt;it was the intention of certain Proprietors to de mand a ballot, at a proper period. Mr. S. Dixon, Mr. Hume, and Mr. lowstims, also censured the motion of ballot, which had been mentioned by the Hon. Chairman. Sir J. JACKSON mid, as the statement relative to an Intended ballot was considere , i to be irregular, any further descant on it must lir omit of order, he therefore hoped the subject would he dropped. The CUAIRMAN then moved " That this Court do agree to the resolution lathe Court of Directors of the 17th of February, granting the sum of 75,000 rice* rupees to Mr. James Wilkinson." The DEPUTY CHAIRMAN 'seconded the motion. CMAS. FORBES, Esq. M.P. then rose, and, in a sensible and feeling speech, took ti review of all the circumstances of Mr. %V i.kitisoi.'s case. Ile called the particular attention of the Com t to the Report of the Special Committee appointed by the Goa armor General in Council to investigate the claims of Mr. Wilkinson. That Committer, appointed without the knowledge of Mr. Wilkinsoti, after live months deliberate ssivevtigation—after the most mature consideration of all the cticumstimces-- decided that this Gentleman was entitled to Y 88,801.1 sicct rupee►, to indemnify him for the loss he had sustained, its cuasequelice of the renewal of the monopoly by the Indian Government. The Hun. PrUpfWWl' concluded by moving, u as amendment, _ . .. mit, instead of 75,000 sicca rupees, at 2s. each, with inter t ,t at 6 per cent. fruin the 11th of October 1818, to the day when payment was made, there should be inserted taB,Boo sieve rupees, at 2.. ad. each, with interest at 8 per cent. (rum the 30th April , Ibl7, till the sante be paid. Sir C. CocKeaur. seconded the motion, reser/e ing to Itim-elf, the right of spriling on the sub. i.et, in the course of the debate, ti he found it necessary. A Proprietor called on some Member of the Court of Directors to state his °pianos% on this sub. jrct. Au u commercial man. lie wished to have sit the iufirrvoaiion po..ihle on this subject. Mr. GRANT staled, that the papers connected with this vise were so voluminous that lie had it not ism his power to snake up his mind on the subject. when it was discussed before the Court of Dime. tors. He hail since. however. made himself ac• sounded with them, and he use inclined to pro. cred in a middle course. Ile would nut go to either of the extremes winds a part of the Court of Directors, and some of the public fuoc lionesses abroad, were inclined to espouse. He wished to adopt a middle course. In forming his opinion, he looked particularly to the nature of the Company's Government, as estaluiAsed by law— and he felt that those persons who were permitted to reside and carry on business in India. under that Government, received great protection, at ili very small expellee. If this were the cave, the interests of the Guerrinuent should be considered as well as those of individuals. It would he well to coosider this in a case that went to establish a slew precedent.
