The exercise of this discretionary power was justified, not only by the practice of the Supreme Government in India, but by the express sanction of the Court of Directors. Lord Cornwallis appointed Colonel Read, and three military officers, to settle the countries ceded by Tippoo Sultauh in 1792. Mr. Henry Wellesley was appointed to a commission for settling the affairs of the conquered countries in 1799 ; and the Court of Directors not only approved of this appointment, but bestowed a reward o...n Mr. Wellesley for the important service which he had rendered the Company on that oc- casion* Lord Wellesley, therefore, had the most powerful reasons for appointing his brother to a similar commission in Oude ; and the Court of Directors found the same cause to testify their approbation of the manner in which that service was performed. In the letter from the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors to the Governor- general in Council in Bengal, before referred to, and under date the 19th November 1803, their approbation is expressed in the follow- ing terms : " We cannot, " they say, " conclude, without expressing our satis- 175 " faction, that the cessions in question have " been transferred, and provisionally set- " tied, with so little delay, and in a manner " so satisfactory, as already to admit of " their being brought under the general " administration of the Bengal government.
