Telegrams concerning the Special Commission which was enquiring into questions of maladministration by the Gaekwar of Baroda (Malharrao). The telegrams are primarily between Sir Lewis Pelly, Special Commissioner at Baroda; Captain Evelyn Baring, Private Secretary to the Viceroy; and Charles Umpherston Aitchison, Foreign Secretary to the Government of India.

The telegrams relate to two matters:

• Arrangements for Sir Richard Meade to take over responsibility at Baroda from Sir Lewis Pelly and for the succession to the title of Gaekwar of Baroda.
• Confidential Telegrams concerning Sir Dinkar Rao, in which conversations relating to Sir Dinkar Rao's concerns over the future of the native administration of Baroda and the process for the succession of a new Gaekwar should the current Gaekwar (Malhharrao) be found guilty of maladministration and removed from power are discussed. These telegrams are between Sir Lewis Pelly and the Viceroy of India (Thomas George Baring, Second Baron Northbrook) through Captain Evelyn Baring, the Private Secretary to the Viceroy.
