gla award would take these matter,: into their fayaitWile
consideration.

Mr. BROWNE consented to a further alteration of the
motion ; and

The CHAIRMAN having repeated that he held out no
expectation of any increase in the amount of money
awarded, the motion was carried in the following terms :
—" That referring to the papers laid before the Court of
Proprietors, in accordance with the order of the quarterly
court of October last, regarding the claim of the Calcutta
Steam Company for the public services rendered by their
steamer the India, this court recommends the claim to
the re•consideration of the Court of Directors."
This concluded the special business.

THE DISMISSED JUDGES OF THE BOMBAY SIMDUR COURTS.

Mr. LBWEN brought again under the consideration of
the court the cases of Messrs. Grant and Le Geyt,
removed by Lord Falkland, when Governor of Bombay,
from their situations as judges of the Suddur Court, in
that presidency, on account of their being deeply in debt.
The honourable proprietor laid great stress on addresses
having been numerously signed by persons in the district
of these courts in favour of the restoration to the bench
of Messrs. Grant and Le Geyt, and on the fact that the
local Government had entertained the greatest confidence
in them, as was evinced by its having conferred on them
other appointments. lie ake expressed a strong opinion
that they had been sacrificed to the attacks of a Bombay
newspaper, and, alter condemning the conduct of a col-
league of theirs, who, having written eulogistic letters,
refused to sit with them ott the bench, he concluded by
moving "That this court now take it t& consideration
the case of the removal of Messrs. Grant and Le Geyt."
Mr. itOMEII seconded the motion, declaring his opi-
nion that the restoration of these gentlemen would only
he an act of justice, whilst it would rectify the weakness
and error of the Government of Bombay, who removed
their).

The CHAIRMAN was quite sure the Court of Proprietors
would do the Court of Directors the justice to believe
that this case was taken into their most deliberate and
painful consideration. It was a case, no doubt, of an
exceedingly painful nature. These gentlemen had occu-
pied the Suddur bench of Bombay for many years, and,
up to a certain time, had most satisfactorily fulfilled their
duties. They had borne most excellent characters—
characters to which even the Government of Bombay had
borne testimony. It must, therefore, have been with
exceeding pain that this Court came to the conclusion—
which they were bound to do—that, for the reasons
which had been laid before the proprietors, they could
not interfere. Neither the hon. mover nor the hon.
seconder had done more than he expected ; but he must.
say he thought it a very unwise proceeding to suggest
that the Court of Directors should endeavour to take the
matter out of the hands of the gentlemen whom they
appointed to be the judges in such cases. He hoped the
Court of Proprietors would negative the motion, which
in fact either involved a censure on the directors, or im-
paired the authority of those to whom the power of
judging properly and legitimately belonged. He be-
lieved, therefore, it would be less hurtful to the feelings
of these gentlemen if, instead of proposing a direct ne-
gative, he moved as an amendment the previous question.
Mr. DANIEL stated that, with regard to the ease of
Mr. Le Geyt, Sir C. Wood was now satisfied the trans-
fer of a debt, alleged to have been fictitious, was really a
bead fide and honourable transfer. He also expressed
his opinion that these men were sacrificed through fear
of a newspaper, but hoped that, as Lord Falkland was
now in England, the reason for upholding an indiscreet
act no longer existed.
Mr. SULLIVAN believed the removal of these gentle-
men would strike a deadly blow at the independence of
the bench, and that if the Court did not restore them
they would sanction a most unwarrantable exercise of
authority. Fifty years ago, when he went to Calcutta,
insolvency was the rule, and insolvency the exception..
(Allaugh.) The Governor-General was hardly out of
debt—the judges of the Supreme Court were deeply in
debt ' • and he wanted to know what people went to India
for if it was not to get out of debt. (Laughter and
cheers.) They ought to give the same measure of fair-
play to judges in India as was given to judges in this
country. If they neglected their duty let them be
solemnly impeached and solemnly condemned, but do
not let judgeships depend on the good pleasure of the
Governor; for if so, no judge would discharge his duty
fearlessly and conscientiously. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible the Court of
Proprietors could alter a despatch sent out to India,
approved by the Board of Control.
Mr. SULLIVAN was quite aware of their own impo-
tency, but " where there was a will there was a way."
The directors could send a petition to the Board of Con-
trol. It was not the way, it was the will that was
wanting. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN thought they ought not to interfere
with the executive.

Mr. SULLIVAN rejoined that the proprietors only asked
the directors to entreat the executive to do what was just,
and k mest, and proper. (Hear, hear.)
Captain SHEPPARD said he had no desire to press hardly
on these gentlemen ; but he thought the tone of this
debate was rather disadvantageous. Gentlemen filling
high and important situations in India ought to command
respect, not only by their principles, their moral charac-
ter, and their judicial capacity, but by the independence
of their means. Though they could not prevent some
servants of the Company being in debt, when the liabili-
ties of a judge were brought under the consideration of
the whole public, it must have the effect of bringing the
office into discredit. (Hear, hear.) It was a very serious
matter for the Government to say these judges ought
not to be removed ; but it would be a most dangerous
course to replace them, after the circumstances had been
so fully exposed ; and he hoped the proprietors would
not i:gree to a motion which would have the effect of
censuring those who had removed them.
Mr. LEIVEN modified his resolution, and proposed it
in these terms, " That the Court of Directors be requested
to re-consider their decision in the case of Messrs. Le

Geyt and Grant."
Mr. CLAt.full thought it was desirable there should be
some means of obtaining compensatory justice for mis-
take.; committed in the administration of our Indian
Government ; but, on the other hand, the judges ought
to be above suspicion ; and in the case of Mr. Le Geyt,
it appeared that, before beciding a cause, he found it
necessary to have a debt transferred, which he owed one
of the suitors, lest a decision in his favour should be the
subject of an appeal. Every one ought to be out of
debt, but more particularly the judges of the land. He
should, therefore, vote against the motion.
The Court then divided. Nineteen proprietors and
one director voted for Mr. Lewen's motion, and nine
proprietors and fifteen directors against it.
The motion having been declared to be negatived,
complaint was made by Mr. Lewen that the directors
had made themselves judges in their own cause.
