In referring the charge to the Chief Justice, he took the first step of the first march in the campaign . which was to carry the war into the enemy's country. CHAPTEE XVII. THE TRIAL OF NANDKUMAR AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. The official record of the examination of Nandkumar and the two Fowkes, before the judges sitting as Justices of the Peace, on the 20th of April, 1775, is very hard reading, even for a lawyer. Fortunately an eminent English judge * has translated the clumsy sentences of which it i...s made up into clearer English, and has evolved the real story from the tangled mass. It is evident that the main accusation brought by Kamalu'd din against Nandkumar and the elder Fowke was to the effect that the two men charged had compelled the accuser to write a petition, bringing the following accusation against Hastings, viz. that he, Hastings, had forced him, Kamalu'd din, to write a petition charging Fowke with having tried to extort from him a statement that he had given bribes to English gentlemen and to natives in power.
