- Title:
- Letter from Hobhouse to Dalhousie
- Scope & Content:
- Regarding Delhi succession, has spoken two or three times to Russell who has spoken to Wellington; Russell asks him to inform Dalhousie he is confident latter will not put his proposal into practice on death of present King should it appear inexpedient; Wellington would have opposed proposal had it come from another Governor-General but trusts Dalhousie's judgement; John Elliot, MP (Secretary to Board of Control) remarked that, in view of impending problems of Hyderabad and Oudh, it would be advisable to avoid any action that might look like a determination to end 'all semblance of Mahommedan authority in India'; Hobhouse's views are unchanged, believing there is no risk; hopes to receive Indian Act on Unchartered Banks to close long controversy between Board and Company on that question; Bethune and 'Black Act' [relating to the trial of Europeans in provincial courts]; Bethune's 'extravagant' proposal to punish Turton by retrospective legislation; precedent of in case of Ricketts (Madras Registrar, 1830) means that Roebuck's motion for enquiry into Turton's defalcations cannot be opposed; Colebrooke's motion on succession of native Princes postponed; in meantime he is preparing memorandum for Russell seeking to controvert Dalhousie's position in Satara case 'in regard to the British Government availing itself on all just occasions of lapses' – Hobhouse has pointed out in vain similar statements by Lord Auckland and his Council, and Court of Directors in 1834; Ceylon Govt to borrow two Madras civil servants for enquiry into an alleged forgery; thanks to Gladstone, Disraeli's recent protectionist motion narrowly missed a majority.
