epresent to the said Bristow, that he, the said Nabob Bahadur, had
not received a farthing of his allowance for the current year, and
was without food; and being wounded by an assassin, who had also
murdered his aunt in the very capital of Oude, the said Nabob
Bahadur had not a daum to pay the surgeon, who attended him for the
love of God alone. That at or about the period of this said
representation the said Bristow was recalled, and the said Warren
Hastings proceeded up to Lucknow, but did not inquire into the said
representations transmitted by the said Bristow to Calcutta, nor
did order any relief."

Mr. Hastings's answer to the part of the charge last read:--

"And the said Warren Hastings further says, that on the 29th of
January, 1784, after the recall of the said Bristow, he, the said
Bristow, did transmit to the Governor-General and Council two
letters, one dated 28th of December, 1783, the other 7th of
January, 1784, purporting to be written by the said Nabob Bahadur,
addressed to him, the said Bristow, to the effect in the said
article stated; and the said Warren Hastings admits, that, when at
Lucknow, he did not institute any inquiry into the supposed
transaction in the said 17th article stated, or make any order
concerning the said Bahadur, and he denies that it was his duty so
to do."

Here is the name of this Nabob from a list of the jaghiredars stated by
Mr. Purling, page 485 printed Minutes. Amongst the names of jaghiredars,
the times when granted, and the amount of the jaghires, there occurs
that of the Nabob Bahadur, with a grant of a jaghire of the amount of
20,000 rupees.

[The _Lord Chancellor_ here remarked, that what had been
just read was matter of the 17th article of the charge
and parts of the answer to it, and that, upon looking
back to the former proceedings, it has escaped his
attention, if any matter contained in the 17th article
had been made matter of the charge; that it therefore
seemed to him that it could not be brought in upon a
reply, not having been made matter of the charge
originally.

_Mr. Burke._ My Lords, I have to say to this, that I
believe you have heard these facts made matter of charge
by the House of Commons, that I conceive they have been
admitted by the prisoner, and that the Commons have
nothing to do with
