to air BAST NiTSIES, Asli.this Day,
Resolved, That this Coes* hawing taken Into its serious coosi-
deration the Report laid before it on the 99th of March lost. per-
vades to he a Report from a Select Committee of the House of
Commons, " appointed to inquires into the existence of any cor-
rupt practices in regard to the appointment and nomination of
Writers or Cadets 'in the service of the East-lndia Company,"
cannot hut express Its deep regret at the corrupt and improper
transactions therein disclosed; and that this Court,. while it oh-
'serves with great pleasure the declaration of the sail Committee,
Ithat throughout the whole of the evidencz they remark nothing
which traces any one of such corrupt or improper bargains to any
Director, or induces a reasonable suspicion- that they were dune
with his privity or connivance, " is decidedly of opinion, that a
greater degree of cirsurnspeetion in the appointment of the civil
and military servants of the East-India Company is not only essen-
tial to its reputation, and to the success of its affaits, but highly im-
'portant to the public interest : It doth therefore determine, that
an future, all Writer; and Cadets, as well as tin: Students 'Meant
for such appointments, shall be examined and chosen In an open
(Court of I)irecturs, which Court shall he bound to by the
interrogation of the candidate and of the person recommending
him, and by such other examination and means as shall seem to
.them to be expedient for that purpose, a full inquiry into the
'character, connection', and qualifications of the said czendidate,
as well as into the means of his introduction to that Court, and
to Is cord upon their proceeding; the result of such inquiry, with
their determination thereon. That all such candidates shall pre-
sent petitions for their appointments ; but that nit petition shall
be entertained or discussed, unless the same be indorsed or under-
written by a Directot, in the following termoi over and above
any declaration now required, viz,—" 1, A. A being one of the
Directors of the East-India Company, do declare, that I have
" fully inquired into the character, the conneetioni, and qtealdi-
" cations of the within petitioner, C. 9. and that, in my opinion,
" he is a fit person to petition the East India Company fur the
." appointtoppewhieh he herein solicits." But that nothing con•
taintdia the said, or any other-deciaration kens aAlfector, shall ,
relieve the said Court froM the. obligation of- eltrylleingb with the
utmost striciness,thcaforesaid inquiry, 4n4 tscat it shall not be
lawful for any Director to circulate any written recommendation
of-un-s candidate, or otherwise interfere in his appointment, than 1
in an open Court of Dire tors. Provided always, that each Di-

House or Commons, which recently enquired into the &spa al,ol
Eau-India patronage, to have been corruptly proc tr.ll; and that
the said Resolution was not meant to exclude the coniitleratioa
of any other case or cases of corrupt purchase In prom ellient4
which might at any time be diszover,d, ;hough such cast s shouEl
have occurred before the gth of Anttit 1806; more especially;
if any such case shouhl affect any of the Directors of the Corn-
pany : because it was particularly with the view of i .ading lo a
detection of any misconduct on their part, should such have ei-
iced, that the Court passed the Resolution of the 230 Fetruary

unless a voluntary discovery were made by the parties obtaining
them.
