to act in criminal matters without Juries and they will rather
feel favorable than otherwise to the admission of Natives & Half Castes.
The danger I fear is from the company's servants, who will have
the sole conduct of the experiment in the Provincial Courts, by far the
most important part of it, inasmuch as there it is wholly new to the
people as to the Judges: & is in fact a politic and scarcely perceptible
beginning — of teaching our subjects to take a share in self-
government, & of giving them an interest in the support of our foreign
regime — to this I have no sort of doubt, the Company &
their servants will bear no good will:- it is not in the nature of things
they should — if we consider who they are, & how chosen, that represent
the Company in England — & who they are & how brought up as a separate
caste from early youth, that compose the servants abroad, and are
the monopolisers of all office and power there:— rising from the bottom
to the top of a list of placemen, all aspiring to hoard, and bring
away all they can, bound to India by no sympathies — no permanency
— no root in the land.

Sepoys as
Jurors. In the infancy of the meditated Native Juries, every thing will
depend on the Provincial Judges. But, where shall we look for a liberal

leading the inexperienced & ill qualified Jurors in the early stages of
the Institution? The native officers of our Sepoys have all risen from the
ranks — are all taken from the humble classes of Society — Metayers, Dairymen
& Soldier's children — but they have a plain & simple Code of Laws to deal with,
