Notes: The meeting considered the advisability of the Company's taking over the administration of Indian states, and annexing them to British India, whenever natural heirs to native ruling houses were lacking, rather than permitting rulers to adopt successors according to Hindu custom. Special consideration was paid to the succession of the rulership of Satara.
