depend 11111 inly on the faithful observauce of existing treaties,
is most important that the East India Corupany should matotain
all engagements with the Native States with inviolable good faith
and honour.
That a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance between the
Honourable East India Company and his Highness Maharaja Pertaub
fihean, his heir! and successors, was concluded on the 111th of Sep-
tember, 1019, and silo, wards duly ratified, isy which, in consideration
of the ant,quity of the House of his Highness the Raja of Sattara,
and for State reasons of prtranaount importance, the British Govan-
Ment agree I to cede, in perpetual Sovereignty to him, his heirs, and
thoaessors, the territory et Satter', for the maintenance of his family
tit dottifort an.t alitfity.
h That hit flighness the late Raja for upwards of seventeen years
tiOi.efrild his country and fulfilled all the conditions of his treaty with
the littlish 4overnment in so exemplary a manner, that in Decem-
i/tt 1431, the Court of Directors unanimously, with the sanction of
the Board of Control, mut a sword of honour and a letter to Ida
Highness, which letter was expressed in the following words :
" Your flightless,
" Wt have hoen highly gratified with the information from time to
(r die tististinitted to us by our Government, on the subject of your
lighnehe's ex.emplary fulfilment of the duties of that elevated MBA-
in which it has pleased Providence to place you.
A course of cenduet so suitable to your Highness's exalted sta-
tion, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of year do-
iminiona, and the happiness of your people as that which you have
Miebls Ithd ttaiformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour on
character, has imparted to ear minds the feelings of uuqua-
ilk satisfaction and pleasure.
'• The liberality, also, which you have displayed, in executing at
your own cost, various pablic works of great utility, and which has se
patty raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of
Indies gives yott an additional claim to our approbation, respect, and
applatfile.
Itupressed with these sentiment., the Court of Directors have
Unanimously resolved to transmit to you a Sword, which will be pre-
sented to you through the Government of Bombay, and which we
trust you will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high es-
teem and regard.
" with sincere wishes fir your health and prosperity, we subscribe

" That notwithstanding this nnexampled testimony to his
u a sovereign and as a man, the late Raja of Sattara was de-
11,,sed by the Government of Bombay on the ith of September, 1839,
for an alleged breach of treats, and has recently died an exile at
litenares, solemnly proteeting his innoceeee, and never ceasing to de-
Mend, to his dying hour, the opportunity of proving it.
"That Major J.D. Carpenter, Me °Seer who had the custody of the
Raja's patron, and was in constant communteatien with him far more
than seven years, from the time of his arrival at Benares up to the
day of his death, Wrote his own deliberate opinion, when called upon
in his letter to the Governor-General, dated Benares, tiSth May, 1846,
In the following words—(See Parliamentary Papers, No. 711, of
1847 To this end I carefUlly studied the whole of the voluminoas
ttoCKinents connected with his (the Raja's) ease, and the result was a
ttlief in his innocence ; and this belief has been confirmed beyond a
doubt by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledging himself to prove
It (his Innocence) if permitted to do so, in his letter to Sir Henry
Mardinge, of the 12th December, 1544, forwarded through me, which
Vtdge I atn full persuaded he (the Baja is able to redeem."
"That It Mrther appears that the whole of the late Raja's private
popetty was seized contrary to a distinct written pledge, under the
11/thrt or Sir James Carmte, the Governor of Bombay, confirmed by
three notes from. Colonel Oval's, the Political Resident at Sattara,
Which property was never restored.
"Therefore resolved,— That, considering the responsible functions
entrusted to this Company by the Legislature, and having regard for
the honour of the empire, and security and good government of the
people and princes of India, tills Court earnestly recommends to the
Court of Directors to obtain the sanction of the Board of Control to
the instituting of a public and impartial inquiry into the charges
brought against the late Raja of Sattara, and into the manner in which
the published evidence against him has been obtained, in order that
the truth or falsehood of that evideuco may be made manifest, and
the ftritish Government purged from the imputation of having
treated the late Raja of Sattara harshly, illegally, or vindictively."
