137 treaty (id. 219), with provisions for reducing his allowance to his successors, whom Major-General Low, with similar views as to " position and dignity, " was inclined to treat more liberally as to income and possessions (id. 223, 224). Mr. Peacock alone appears to have desired not only to leave the King in possession of his nominal sovereignty while taking upon us the administration of his kingdom, but to spend his surplus revenues in Oude, instead of convert- ing them to the use of the Co...mpany (id. 232). Mr. Peacock, however, is an eminent lawyer, with a lawyer's sense of the inconvenience of presenting to a jury of the British people a proposal for plundering the tax-payers of Oude as a con- sequence of our professed interest in their welfare; and very delicately but distinctly he puts this point on the very page of the Oude Blue Book to which we are now referring (232). It is remarkable, however, that neither he nor any of his colleagues set Lord Dalhousie right where he com- mitted himself most deeply, for none of them took into consideration the treaty of 1837, or whether the same was or was not in existence.
