LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
HAVE the honour to submit to you the Resolu-
tions passed at a numerous Meeting of my friends and supporters,
at the London Tavern, this day, manifesting the sentiments of a
large and influential body of Proprietors on my qualifications for a
seat in the East India Direction.
I beg leave to assure you that, in the event of my attaining the
high and honourable abject of my ambition, it shall be my constant
study to merit the favourable opinion entertained of me, and to
prove myself a zealous supporter of the rights of cur native fellow-
subjects, and a faithful servant of the East India Company.
With a grateful acknowledgment of the flattering support which I
have already received, and soliciting &continuance of your influence,
I have the honour to be, with great respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and faithful servant,

47, Albion-street, Hyde-park, Jan. 7, 1839.
At a numerous Meeting of Proprietors of East India Stock,
friends of Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes, F. R. S., held at the London
Tavern, on Monday, Jan. 7, 1839 :
Sir CHARLES FORBES, Bart., in the Chair.
First Resolution—Moved by Sir PETER LAURIE, seconded by
GEORGE ARBUTHNOT, Esq., and carried unanimously—.
That in the administration of the affairs of the British Empire in
the East, it is of the first importance that the executive body should
be chiefly composed of men who, by long service in India, have ac-
quired a competent knowledge of the character, feelings, and inte-
rests.of our native fellow-subjects, whose welfare and happiness it
is the paramount duty of the East India Company to promote by
every means in their power.
Second—Moved by Major- General BRIGG s, Madras Army, seconded
by Major-General Sir JAMES SUTHERLAND, Bombay Army,
K. L. S., and carried unanimously—
That the early part of Colonel Sykes's military career, which was
devoted to the attainment of an intimate acquaintance with the
character and constitution of the Native Army, his proficiency in
the native languages, and his constant intercourse for a period of
years with the agricultural population of the Mahratta territories,
whilst he held the important office of statistical reporter to the
Bombay Government, enabled him to acquire that thorough know-
ledge of the resources of the country, and the social condition of
the people of India, which peculiarly qualifies him for a seat in the
East India Direction.
Third—Moved by Sir JOHN J. HANSLER, F.R. S., seconded by
Major GEORGE WILLOCY, K. L. S., and carried unanimously—
That on these grounds, and relying with confidence in the well-
known zeal, ability, and independence of Colonel Sykes—qualities
so essentially requisite in public men—the present meeting strongly
recommend him to the Proprietors at large, and pledge themselves
to use their best exertions to ensure his election to a seat in the
Direction on the first vacancy.
CHARLES FORBES, Chairman.
Fourth—Moved by JOSEPH HUME, Esq., AI. P. ; seconded by
Capt. RIVETT CARNAC, R.N. : and carried unsnimously—
That the cordial thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby
given to Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., for his zeal, ability, and impar-
tiality in the Chair.
