rest, and of the women who stood in a species of maternal relation
to him, as owing to the aforesaid oppressive demands, yet he, the
said Warren Hastings, did cruelly, inhumanly, and corruptly decline
to make any order for the better provision of any of the said
eminent family, or for the return of the said prince, who had fled

"And the said Warren Hastings further says, that he was informed
that Mirza Jungli, in the said article also mentioned, did leave
his native country in distress, and did go to Mirza Shuffee Khan,

likewise admits he was informed that the said Mirza Jungli did
afterwards leave the said Mirza Shuffee Khan, and repair to the
camp of Mahdajee Sindia, with a view of obtaining some
establishment for himself and followers.

said Warren Hastings says, that information of the above

Hastings denies that he was guilty of any cruelty, inhumanity, or
corruption, or of any misconduct whatsoever, in the matters
aforesaid."
