and the fourth article of the Treaty with Scindiah; but
both these solemn instruments remained intact, the Governor-

That body consisted of three members, and as one of these
invariably supported the Governor-General, who also pos

in his favour, and the opposition of the other two members
was rendered practically nugatory. The representations of
these two members, however, were sufficient to induce the
Governor-General to instruct the Agent to " sound Scindiah
