- Title:
- Letter from Hobhouse to Dalhousie
- Scope & Content:
- Acknowledges Dalhousie's letter of 22 December; would have given more (but not entire) credence to Napier's report on India but for Dalhousie's comments on it which he has shown to Lord John Russell and, on latter's advice, to Wellington particularly in view of probability that Napier had sent his report to the Duke; possible that Napier's motive for writing report is to give himself excuse for staying in India after his friends had given out he would be returning to England; Sir E Colebrook is to move in Commons for a Committee to enquire into succession law among Indian Princes to controvert doctrines advanced by Dalhousie in Satara case and probably to raise Delhi succession question; Manchester men pressing for a Royal Commission to go to India to enquire into possibilities for cotton production and improving condition of the natives – John Bright tells him they are determined to achieve their object; John Roebuck (radical MP) intends to move for bill (or a Committee) to make good Turton's defalcations in view of Ricketts precedent; Delhi succession discussion to be resumed in March by East India Company and probably then taken up in Parliament; Wellington has indeed received Napier's report but appears unlikely to be infected by it 'to any prejudicial extent'; protectionists have made very bad beginning to session in both Houses.
