Looking not only to the poisoning case, but to liis cliaracter and antecedents,
to tlie mal-administration of the State of Baroda, and to the measures~4&ken
in consequence, I can confidently assert that Mulhar Rao has been treated by
the Government of India with the utmost forbearance that was compatible
with the duty of the British Government to insist that the person of a British
Resident at a Native Court should be respected, and that a State enjoying
British protection, the peace of which is maintained by Her Majesty's
forces, should be so administered as to secure the people from grievous abuses.
That it was both just and expedient to have exercised such forbearance
cannot, I conceive, be disputed.
NOKTHBEOOK.
April 29th, 1875.

Printed minute, produced by Thomas George Baring, Second Baron Northbrook, Viceroy of India summarising the transactions of the previous two years in Baroda which had resulted in the deposition of Mulhar Rao [Malharrao], Gaekwar of Baroda.
The minute is based on the findings of two separate Commissions, the first which submitted its report to the Government of India on 25 February 1874 was in regard to concerns over the financial and administrative conditions of the state of Baroda, the second which concluded in April 1875 was responsible for enquiring as to whether the Gaekwar had orchestrated the attempted poisoning of Colonel Robert Phayre, formerly Resident at Baroda and whether he was to be held responsible for the mismanagement of the state.
