"-«'e the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock request
that a Special General Court may be convened at the earliest period,
to take into consideration the following Resolutions proposed to be
submitted to them :
. _ .

....
" 1. That from the Printed -Papers recently laid before the Proprie-
tors on the subject of Slik, it is the opinion of this Court that the
proceedings of the Government of India which ended in the dethrone-
ment, exile, and Imprisonment of the Ameers, and the seizure of their
country and private property, were uncalled for, impolitic, and unjust.

" 2. That this Court does therefore most earnestly recommend to
the Court of Directors the immediate adoption of such steps, by repre-
sentation to her Majesty's Government, or otherwise, as may cause all
practicable reparation to be made for the injustice already committed,
and enforce the abandonment of a line, of policy inconsistent with
good faith, and subversive of the interests of the British rule in India.
" We have the honour to be,
" Honourable Sir,
" Your obedient Servants,
" J. SULLIVAN,
" WILLIAM J. EASTW'ICK,
" JOSEPH HUME,
" CHARLES FORBES,
" HAIWORD JONES BRYDGES,'
" JOHN POYNDEII,
" ARTHUR J. LEWIS,
" A. HOGG,
" THOMAS MARRIOTT.
