This was joyfully reported to Lord Wellesley's Government by the first British commissioner. At once a regulation was drafted vesting the shrine and the increased pilgrim-tax in the Christian officials. This Lord Wellesley indignantly refused to sanction, and it was passed by Sir George Barlow in spite of the protests of Carey's friend, Udny.
What can be apprehended but the disgrace and discomfiture of whole hosts of tub preachers in the conflict?" Lord Wellesley's eulogy of the Serampore mission in the House of Lords was much more pronounced than appears from the imperfect report.

Not very big, sir." "What is it used for? What is there in it now?" "Nothing much, sir. Some book-cases and a desk and a chair or two."

There was considerable doubt and scepticism in his voice as he put the question; but Mrs. Marriner showed herself the incarnation of sure and positive conviction. "Yes, sir," she answered. "It's Dr. Wellesley's."
