NINTH REPORT From the SELECT COMMITTEE the House of of Commons appointed to take into consideration the state of the ad ministration ofjustice in the provinces of Bengal, Bahar, and Orissa, and to report the same, as it shall appear to them, to the House, with their observations thereupon and who were instructed to consider how the Britishpos sessions in the East Indies may be held and governed with the greatest security and advantage to this country, and by what means the happiness of the native inhab itants may be best promoted.

This language is, indeed, of necessary use in the executive departments of the Company s affairs but it is not necessary to Parliament. A lan guage so foreign from all the ideas and habits of the far greater part of the members of this House has a tendency to disgust them with all sorts of inqui ry concerning this subject. They are fatigued into such a despair of ever obtaining a competent knowl edge of the transactions in India, that they are easi ly persuadedto remand them back to that obscurity, mystery, and intrigue out of which they have been forced upon public notice by the calamities arising from their extreme mismanagement...
