they direct the attention of the House to the favourable
tenor of the evidence with respect to the operation of the
act 3 Wm. 4, cap. 85, so far as it regards the adminis-
tration of the government of India by the East India
Company as trustees under the control of the Crown.
Itis apparent, however, that ono only of eight head•

committee ; the inquiry under the remaining heads,
which aro very important, ought, in the opinion of your
committee, to be pursued in the next Session of Par-
liament.
