Place and Time
under the present case.
Every body has heard of the fate of Lord Pigot,
Governor of Madrass, who in the year 177 after a struggle for power
occasioned by the inexplicitness of the laws, was
deposed by a majority of his council, and confined at [the
Mount where he died. Whatever may have
been their demerits otherwise, a severe scrutiny
acquitted the delinquents of every thing that savoured of an ill intention to
produce the catastrophe that ensued. No hardship
no want of room for exercise: Madrass one of the
healthiest spots in India: and the scene of his
confinement one of the healthiest spots about Madrass.
But though they intended a part only
of the mischief, they reaped the full benefit of the
whole. That their own fortunes should not have been even benefited
by the revolution can scarce be doubted is
difficult to suppose. That Lord Pigot was impaired
by it, and that the fortune which
devolved upon his representatives was thereby
lessened by it, it is impossible to doubt. But
as Lord Pigot was dead his representatives had no remedy there was no redress
for his representatives.
At some future time, without any violent
stretch breach of probability, the scene of a similar transaction
may be supposed to be laid in Cal this
unwholesome
