aforesaid, in his opposition to all the plans of necessary reformation proposed by the said
Hastings himself, and having suggested no other whatever in lieu thereof, to answer the
purposes for which he had stipulated in the treaty of Chunar the interference of the Resident
in every branch of the Nabob's government, did thereby frustrate every one of the good
ends proposed by him in the said treaty of Chunar, and did grossly abuse his trust in giving
the exorbitant powers before recited, and asserting them to exist in the British Resident,
without suffering them even in appearance to answer any of the proper and justifiable ends
for which any power or influence can or ought to exist in any government.

the Nabob aforesaid were dictated to him by his minister, Hyder Beg Khân, in whose hands
the said Hastings has described his master to be "a mere cipher," &c., but which Hyder Beg
was the known instrument of the said Hastings, but that the conduct and letters of complaint
of the said Hyder Beg were in effect and substance prescribed and dictated to him by the
said Warren Hastings, or his secret agent, Palmer, by his direction: because it is notorious
that the powers of the said Hyder Beg were solely supported by him, the said Hastings,
who, according to the state of favor or displeasure in which he stood, hath frequently
promised him support or threatened him with dismission and punishment, and therefore it is
not to be thought that he would take so material a step as to oppose the Company's
Resident, acting under the instructions of the Governor-General and Council, and to accuse
him with so much confidence, and in a manner so different from the usual style of
supplication on all other occasions employed by that court, if he had not been previously
well assured that his writing in that manner would be pleasing to the person upon whom he
solely depended for his power, his fortune, and perhaps for his life;—secondly, because,
when it suited the purposes of the said Hastings on a former occasion, that is, in the year
