• Fin—We, the tinderaigned Proprietors of India Stock, request
that you will .lay before the Honourable the Court of Directors of
the East India Company fins Requisition, to call a Generel Meet-
ing of the Honourable the Court of Proprietors. that the following
Motions nay he submitted to their immediate consideration : •
" laL That, adverting to the Act of Parliament recently passed,
which contains the following claiins—' That at any time within
three years from the passing of this Act, it shall and may be lawful
fa the Court of Directors of the said I:nited Company to nominate
and appoint, and to send to the Presidencies of Fort William,
Fort St. George, or Bombay,' in the capacity of a Writer, any per-
son who shall produce Inch testimonials of his character ancoa-
ti act, and pass such an examination as by rules and regulations to•
be framed and*established, shall berequired. That the said Court
of Directors shall, and they are hereby required, with all eonve-
nie of speed, to frame and establish proper rules and regulations,'
respecting the due and necessary qualifications of Writers; and that
it shall and may be lawful to alter and tray such rules and regula-
tions, from time to time, as circumstances may appear to require.
This Court therefore request the Court of Directors now to submit
their intended ruin and regulations, that the same may be delibe-
rately discussed by the General ('ourt of Proprietors; also, in order
to obviate every attempt to establish nny unfair monopoly in oriental
education, while the College Suspension Act is in force, like the
oae lately made by a rerlatioet of the Court of Directors, which,
though published in their Court Calendar, or Red Book, has since,
on mature reflection, been rescinded.
" 2d. That considering the manifold advantages of reconciling
the feelings and interests of the various Public Departments and
I)tficial Communities at the different Presidencies in British India,
with each other, in every branch of the service, this Court recom-
mends that the' Executive Governments there be instructed to abo-
lish immediately the odious practice of paying the civil servants in
stem rupees, and the army in a less •aluable currency called sonar
rupees, to prevent all discontent from the continuance of this un-
reasonable distinct ion amongst the King's or Company's civil. mili-
tary, and naval functionaries in future, by the whole receiving their
respective allowances in the same species, or equitable rates of the
Loral coins, where such payments are made.
