Hastings, and the dangerous situation, therefore, in which he himself stood, would at least have been very guarded and cautious. Hear what he next says upon this subject. I have therefore always most carefully preserved every paper which I possessed regarding these transactions." You see that Mr. Hastings had no memorandums of his accounts; you see, that, after Mr.
Your Lordships have seen that no two persons knew anything of these transactions; you see that even memorandums of transactions of very great moment, some of which had passed in the year 1779, were not even so much as put in the shape of complete memoranda until May, 1782; you see that Mr.
