RESOLUTIONS.
" That th East India Company having, by the first article of the
;,4:tY contra7ted with Maharaj l'ertaub Sing, on the 25th Septem-
),Tl., 1819, ' ceded the territory of Sattara to the Raj.th of Sattara,
.1s heirs and successors in perpetual sovereignty,' awl having by the
trst article of a treaty, concluded on the 4th September, 1839, with
411araj Shajee (commonly called Appa Sahib), solemnly confirmed
hat article, the East India Company cannot alienate the territory of
°attars from the rightful heir of the Rajah of Sattara, without a gross
"lolation of public faith, and without shaking the confidence of the
,lative Powers of India in the stability of the treaties into which they
'4're entered with the said Company.
"That the seizure of the Sattara territory by the East India Com-
pany. by virtue of a construction arbitrarily put upon the said treaties
Y the stronger of the two contracting parties, would be a proceeding
, ermglant to every principle of justice, a breach of the law of nations,
and calculated to cast a foal stain upon the character of that Com-
"n7 amid the British Government."
