day to confirm the annuities to Viscount Hardinge and Lord
Gough, as unanimously agreed to on the 13th instant. The
Chairman (Mr. Hogg, M.P.), presided, and the proceedings
of the last Court were confirmed.
The CHAIRMAN said, that after the feeling expressed at
the last meeting he need not make any observations, except
calling upon the clerk to read the resolutions now brought
forward for the proprietor's consideration.

" At a general Court of the East India Company, held on
Friday, the 15th of May, 1846,

read the coatents of the Bill to be passed.
In noticing the Bill, it will be sufficient to describe it as—
" The draft of a Bill to enable Lord Hardinge to receive the
full benefit of the annuity now granted, without any diminu-
tion of his salary as Governor-General of India."

men who had so nobly supported the interests of their
country.

Smith would not be passed over.

Weeding, and others, the resolutions were unanimously con-
