But it is clear that an acquittal so obtained cannot be pleaded in bar of the judgment of history. Several attempts were made by the friends of Hastings 20 to put a stop to the trial. In 1789 they proposed a vote of censure upon Burke, for some violent language which he had used respecting the death of Nuncomar and the connection between Hastings and Impey. Burke was then unpopular in the last degree both with the House 25 and with the country. The asperity and indecency of some expressions whi...ch he had used during the debates on the Regency had annoyed even his warmest friends. The vote of censure was carried; and those who had moved it hoped that the managers would resign in disgust. 30 Burke was deeply hurt. But his zeal for what he con- sidered as the cause of justice and mercy triumphed over his personal feelings. He received the censure of the 138 WARREN HASTINGS House with dignity and meekness, and declared that no personal mortification or humiUation should induce him to flinch from the sacred duty which he had undertaken.
