" That th East India Company having, by the first article of the
treaty contraed with Maharaj Pcrtaub Sing, on the 25th Septem-
ter, 1819, ceded the territory of Sattara to the Rajah of Sattara,
his heirs and successors In perpetual sovereignty,' and having by the
first article of a treaty, concluded on the 4th September, 1839, with
Maharaj Shajee (commonly called Appa Sahib), solemnly confirmed
that article, the East India Company cannot alienate the territory of
Sattara from the rightful heir of the Rajah of Sattara, without a gross
violation of public faith, and without shaking the confidence of the
Native Powers of 1.11,1111 in the stability of the treaties into which they
have entered with the said Company.
"That the seizure of the Sattatt territory by the East India Com-
PanY, by virtue of a construction arbitrarily put upon the said treaties
by the stronger of the two contracting parties, would be a proceeding
repugnant to every principle of jastice, a breach of the law of nations,
and calculated to cast a Mel stain upon the character of that Com-
pany and the British Government."
