Ste -In perofing your paper of the rath infant. I
obferved a paragraph, inferted at the balance of 44 A
Proprietor of Eall foal t Stock ;" the importance of
the lubjea it embraces gives it a pal claim to the in-
form aims it leek-, if not only fr thole who are im-
mediately intelefled with the affairs and, ttanfattions
of the India H. tile, but form every one who feels a
concern in the welfare of his country, with which
India is now become identified. It may be fairly
foppored that there are others better qualified than
myfelf, who will, by and by, take up the fubjea ;
but I finely cannot be cenfuled for precipitancy, nor
blamed for prefumption, in thus early giving it my
fentimeuts, when I declare that in Join; to I . have
no other motive than that of ferving the paiblec, and
that I have no abfiratt connalion either with India
or the India Company.
I have read very carefully the bye law of the Com-
pany, quoted in the paragraph in quellion ; it a ton
clear and explicit to admit of doubt ; and I,may ven-
ture to fay, will not receive difference in opinion on
it : it ordains that '4 Every Member of the Com-
pany who may aft in oppolitims to the refirittions it
contains, fish incur forfeiture and fine, and be
rendered inesdisife s/' fir the Compayy in say of or
place whatioessr." Now, Sir, awning the fatt that
fame parettular member of the Company has been
ardually convided on that bye law, and fined in coo-
fequence, I have no difficulty in aliening, nor any
apprehenfion of being contradiad. that futh pet fon'
Is abfolutely and totally difelowlified to ferve tit,
Company as one of the DiTeatirs of their affairs, dk
in any other office whatever, civil, military, or na-
val ; and I am difpufed to fay, that he is alto incoinv
statist to vote for others a perhaps it will be rope".
!nous to add, that if fuch a per ion, fo difqualified,
bras eledyd a Director, it woold be a breach of the
bye law, in which the difqualification originated, and
that his elation would be, net isitio, null and void:
but it may be reguifite to meet the third propofideet
of the Raragraph, in more particular terms, and a*,
es I now do, that any fervant or member oft e
Company, who give their fuffrages tufach a perfon,"
with a knowledge of the circusaances in which he
*ands, will become equally difqualified with him.
felf. In this opinion I might be completely borne
out by the nature of the cafe, and the arguments it
rurnilltes ; but there are other grounds, namely, the
fourth feetion of the thltd chapter of the bye laws ,
of the Company, by which it as 6rdained that '4 If
any Direaor, or any Officer, or fervant of the Com-
pany (hall be guilty of a wilful breach of any of the
bye laws of the Corporation, to which any other foe.
cial penalty is not annexed and (hall be fo adjad
ed by a General Court, he than be incapable of holy
ing any office or employment in this Government."
I will not dwell any longer on the fubjed. If, how-
ever, I have not been fofficiently clear fo as to be
fully comprehended, I (hall again trefpafs on your
attention. v a lat.

ed Jones found a limn leather purfe, with 35 fhil-
hugs in it, which had been dropped by a boy named
Searle, in Red Lion•fquare ; he was Peen by a lady
to pick up the purfe, and he afterwards acknowledg-
ed having (pent the money in tome trifling pachafes

coachman, in applying to his awn me any property
left by accident in his coach, without advertifing the

milating the cafe of finding property in the Ilreet to
