rt CLAIM.
k? 44 cdinAkiiee With I recHuisititki; signed by nine Pie.
prietors. a Special Cienteal C of the Proprietors of
East. India Stock .was had reverchit, At the Corripany's
:House, in Leadenhall-strVet, for the pnrpo* of taking
Inter their ccinsideratichi the propriety of granting a sum
'of 0004 to Mr. Buckingham, es d compensation for
:the losses he has sustained froth the rheasures adopted
with respect to his propeity, by the Government of In-
'dia. At twelve o'clock the Chairman, Mr. C. Mania*
11111ANKs, having taken his seat, the Minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the last Court were read.
The Cautious then briefly stated the pufpdse for which the
Court bad been summoned; and the Secretary having read, in the
usual form, the Letter of the Requisitionists,•
Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAISD rose and observed, that-after
the repeated discussions whith had taker' place upon
every point of the case of Mr. Buckingham, he thought
it would be quite unnecessary for him to enter at an)
length into the Merits of the question now before
them. He begged.only to siy that the friends of Mr.
Buckingham disclaimed all intention of making their
present application on any party or .political ground..
They called upon the Proprietors to grant hint, in n.ercy
arid in the spirit of benevolence, a Compensati,in for the
losses he had sustained from the measuresiursued by the
Governmen, cf India, without. in the slightest degree,
calli'g in question the peopriety of those me.rsures, or
the justice of those deci-ions, whirh had produced bis
misfortunes. The Government of India -never could
mean to make the sacrifice of his property a part of
Mr. Buckingham's punishment. Here, then, was a case
*Oren gfeat evil hid fallen bn ah unfortunate man of
unblemished character, who suddenly found himself
deprived of Al the resources to which he could look
for his future support ; and, instead of receiving a re-
mittance from•lndia for his types, and other property
which he had in the "Calcutta Join nal," he was brought
in debt a c nsiderable sum by his agents; and all Ibis
arose solely from the fact that the Indian Govern
ment did not, think proper, so king as he had any./
property in th.t Journal, to grant a
.license for
The Court of Prvtietors might, without casting any
reflections, possess the power to remedy this. If the
grant were made on the sole ground of generous com-
passion on the part of the Company, be (Mr. Kinnaird)
was willing on that
.ground alone to rest it. If the
present recommendation did not, however, receive the
consent of the Court, he gave notice of his intention to
demand a ballot, for taking the sense of the whole body
of Proprietors upon the justice or propriety of Mr.
Buckingham's claims. The Honourable Proprietor.
then moved—

M That the Honourable the Court of Directors be instructed by
dui Genera Court of Proprietors to grant a sum of £5,000 to Mr.
ilhotkingbans, from the foods of the Company, as a compensation
for his losles, and to enable him to surmount the di/Acuities brought
upon bias by his removal from India."
Mr. H wag briefly seconded the motion; and observed,
that although he was not, either there Or eliewbere,
much in the habit of voting away money unnecessarily,
yet he could not avoid declaring it to be his opinion,
that.no man ever claimed compensation who we.. bitter
entitled to it than Mr. Buckingham: Hii conduct, during
the a hole time of his Istai‘lenke in India, did Lim the
highe t honour, and it.wiriald only be an act of justice on.
the part of the Proprietors to grant some relief to a man
who had not been guilty of any action, during his mil-.
Anne- in ludic, which could not be fAitly-justsfied..The
sum claimed was not I.Bth part of the loathe Nadal*
ctained by theproCeediugs of the Governraent- of lirdiar
and be thought:they were !mend, by every principle oi
justice, humanity, and tOmpassion, to grant the little be
now required.
Mr. POYIDIM was- averse to the motion,. upon the
ground that Mr. Buckingham had ent.iled these losses
upon himself Isom hii own imprudence (to say the least
of it)itut he was inclined to go. faiths r, and. say wilful
misconduct. The Learned Proprietor then very elo-
quently dilated upon the' different accusations besought
againit.Mr. Buckingham. These, he said, were no less
than twelve, which might be fairly considered as libels
upon the discipline. of the army, aud• the conduct of
the.Gosernment. Mr. Buckingham had been repeatedly
warned as to the impropriety of his conduct; but he
paid no attention; oa the contrAry, he appeared to
court that event which bad finally. followed, and
which now formed-the basis of, this motion. If the
Court agreed to the motion, the mat proposition
that would be made would be to smuggle over Messrs.
Cobbett and Hunt, along with other contraband article',
to India, and then pay them WOOL a piece for writing
libels and di,tributing scandal. He was averse to the
principle, not but what lie was convinced that the East
India H.,use could well afford to grant the stem.
Mk. J. Sauna said, that.there was one fact which be
thought very strong in Mr. Buckingham's favour, which
aas, that the Government in Jodia had not thought it
just or equitable to And that Gentleman away from
India until a very late period front the conimencesett
of those proceedings, which.the L arr.ed Pr oprietor had
termed libellous, but which had not been considered in
that light by the Government. -He would support the
arnion of his Hon. Filet:id, because he thought that Mr.
B. had been punished too severely, and he did not know
of a grosser case of injustice.
. Sir J. SawaLr opposed the motion. He had heard
from several persons who were favourable to the claim
of Mr. Bucki ghats, that that Gentle-man was in the
uttnost state of digiek'and bat the real account of him
would be dated truth a gaol. He had very good Autho-
rity, however, foe stating 'bathe bad sive, at shares in
some valuable speculations, which. would sell at about
1,6001. per share. This went to place that Gentleman's
claim ow a different scale thaw that of utter ruin.
Mr. GANAGIAN was very glad to hear that Mr. Buck-
inghatn had been able to pave a plank out of the gene-
ral wreck,and by that means had been enabled to teach
the land without being drawn into the vortex of de-
struction. • He contended that Mr. Buckingham had
been severely treated, and that the Goverment of
India had no right to touch the property he left behind.
Was it too much, then, to give to Mr. Buckjpgham
that reparation which, though not an equivalent for the
injury he had sustained hear the course adopted by the
Government, would essentially relieve biro from some
of its worst consequences?
Sic C. Fonsca said be had rearm to know that Mr.
Buckingham was in debt to his agents; and he could
steak irout his own knowledge that be possessed no
shares--even the share which alibied him to sit and,
vote is that,Ceart ARS hestOtr(llll,9ll him by the kintk
