Referred to from p. 73. _Case of certain Persons renting the Assigned Lands wider the Authority of the East India Company._ Extract of a Letter from the President and Council of Fort St. George, 25th May, 1783. One of them [the renters], Ram Chunder Raus, was, indeed, one of those unfortunate rajahs whose country, _by being near to the territories of the Nabob_, forfeited its title to independence, and became the prey of ambition and cupidity. This man, though not able to resist the Company's arms, _employed in such a deed at the Nabob's instigation_, had industry and ability. He acquired, _by a series of services_, even the confidence of the Nabob, who suffered him to _rent apart of the country of which he had deprived him of the property_. This man had afforded no motive for his rejection by the Nabob, but that of being ready to engage with the Company: a motive most powerful, indeed, but not to be avowed.
