authorities than any other Prince of a similar cha-
racter, it was clear that the charges against
the Raja, if not without foundation, were grossly
exagaerat, d, and he thought an inquiry could not be re-
fused. But a Member of that House had stood up in
his place and told them that if they would grant him an
inquiry into this case, he would prove that an offer of
indemnity and reward were made by the British
Government to the Raja of Sattara if he would
only confess his guilt, and he, for one,
thought that after such a statement as this, the inquiry
asked for could not be refused. If the R-ja were a
hypocrite, as was reprosantul by the Right Hail. Gentle-
man the President of the Board of Control, he would, in
preference to getting up an agitation through the medium of
his agents on his own behalf, have restod satisfied with
his allowance of 12,0001 a-year, but he (Mr. Borth wick)
felt that injustice had been done to the Raja, and it was
on that account that the Raja was induced to agitate
this question. He must, therefore, give his vote
in favour of the motion of the Honourable Member
for Montrose if her Majesty's Government declined to
give a pledge that some further inquiry should be in-
stituted into this painful and distressing case.—(Hear.)
Dr. BOWRING thought the Right Hon. Baronet
at the head of the Board of Control had treated
the Raja of Sattara with gross injustice. The
Court of Directors of the East India Company
and the British residents at Sattara, before these
charges which had lead to the deposition of the Raja
were preferred, pronounced the Raja to be one of the
staunchest supporters of the British Government ; and
it was not, till it was found convenient to make these
unjust charges against the Raja, that they felt them-
selves called upon to change their opinions in that re-
spect. He thought, therefore, that some further inquiry
ought to be instituted into the case of th© Raja.
Mr. B. ESCOTT said the case made out for the de-
cision of the House remained without any answer on
the part of those who should support the sentence
against the Raja of Sattara, and if it were on that
ground alone, he thought the further inquiry asked for
ought to be conceded by the House.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir E. COLEBROOKE thought the Hon. Member for
Montrose had made out a strong case for inquiry, and
he should certainly give the motion of the Hon. Gentle-
man his support,—(Hear, hear.)
Sir J. W. HOGG said, whatever might be said to the
contrary, there could be no doubt that the
statement of the Right Honourable Gentleman
the President of the Board of Control was a sufficient
answer to the charges of the Honourable Gentleman, the
Member for Montrose. The Raja had been fairly
tried, he had had every opportunity of defending him-
self against the charges which had been preferred against
him, and let them institute as many inquiries as they
liked, it was quite impossible that any other result could
be come to than that which had already been arrived at.
—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman the Member for
Montrose had asked for a Commission of Inquiry to be
sent out to Bombay. Why, that Commission had
already been sent out, and after the conclusion
that Commission had come to upon the case of the
Raja, there could be no possible advantage
derived from any further inquiry into the matter, no
person could read through the evidence adduced on the
trial of the Raja, admitting as he did the absurdity
of the schemes which it was said the Raja
had in view, without being convinced that the
Raja was guilty of the charges preferred against him.
What use could there be in any further inquiry? No-
thing whatever, and he hoped, therefore, the House
would not agree to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman
opposite.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord JOHN MANNERS supported the motion for
an inquiry into the case of the Raja.
After a few words from Mr. HUME,
The House divided, when there appeared—
For the inquiry 23
Against it
Majority —2l
The House then went into Committee pro forma.
The remaining orders of the day were then disposed
of, and the House adjourned at Half•past One o'clock.

Home Drummond for Perth; Colonel More for Renfrew;
Mr. A. Lockhart, for Selkirk ; Mr. Forbes of Callender
for Stirling; and Colonel Blair for 'Wigton. The
Liberal county condidates are—Mr. James Duff for
Banff; Mr. Traill for Caithness; General Morison for
Clackmannan and Kinross; Mr. Matheson of Achany
for Ross and Cromarty; Captain Wemyss for Fife; Hop.
Douglas Gordon Hallyburton for Forfar; Sir David
Baird for Haddington; the Solicitor-General for Kir-
cudbright ; Mr. F. Dundas and Mr. Anderson for Orkney
and Shetland; Hen. J. E. Elliot for Roxburgh; Sir David
Dundas for Sutherland; and Captain Dalrymple for
Wigton—Banff, Cromarty, Fife, Haddington, Orkney, and
Wigton, are therefore the contested counties. In Aber-
deen, Argyle, Ayr, Berwick, Bute, Caithness, Clack-
mannan, Dumbarton, Dumfries, Edinburgh, Elgin
Forfar, Inverness, Kincardine, Kircudbright, Lanark
Linlithgow, Peebles, Perth, Renfrew, Roxburgh, Selkirk
Stirling, and Sutherland, no contest is as yet apparent.
The Liberal burgh candidates are— Mr. Bannerman for
Aberdeen ; Lord James Stuart for Ayr District;
Mr. Ewart for Dumfries ; Mr. Duncan for Dundee ;
Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Gibson Craig for Edinburgh
(who by the bye are certain of being opposed
—we have heard the names of Lord Ashley,
Lord John Manners, &c., mentioned as likely
to be put forward) ; Sir Andrew Leith Hay and
Mr. Duff for Elgin ; Mr. Wilson, of Dundyvan, for
Falkirk district; Mr. Denistoun, the Lord Provost, Mr.
Macgregor, and Mr. Dixon, for Glasgow; Mr. Dunlop
and Lord Melg,und for Greenock; Colonel Henry Fer-
guson Davie for Haddington District; Hon. P. Bouverie
for Kilmarnock District; Colonel Ferguson for Kirkaldy;
the Lord Advocate for Leith District (an opposition is
resolved upon, and it is thought Mr. Wallace of Kelly
may be prevailed upon to stand); Mr. Hume for the
Montrose District; Mr. Hastie for Paisley; Mr. Fos
Manic for Perth; Mr. Edward Ellice, jun., for St.
Andrew's District; Mr. Allison, Mr. J. B. Smith,
and Mr. A. C. Maitland Gibson for Stirling District;
Mr. Loch for Wick District; and Sir John M'Teggart
for Wigton District. The two burgh Conservative candi-
dates are Lord Lincoln in Falkirk District, and Sir J.
W. Drummond, of llawthornden, in Haddington Dis-
trict. Edinburgh, and we may say Leith, Elgin, Fal-
kirk District, Glasgow, Greenock, Haddington District,
and Stirling are, therefore, to be the scenes of election
contests. Aberdeen, Ayr District, Dumfries, Dundee,
Kilmarnock District (perhaps), Kirkaldy, Montrose
District, Paisley, Perth, St. Andrew's District, Wick
District, and Wigton District, exhibit no symptoms of a
contest. It is said, however, that Mr. Loch is to be op-
posed in the Wick District; and the starting of Sir
Coutts Lindsay, Colonel Blair, of Blair, and Lord Reid•
haven for the counties of Fife, Wigton, and Banff has,
in the meantime, no better foundation than rumour.
