Sivu 176 - ... may be impeached by the Commons for the transactions of twenty years ; that the accusation shall spread as wide as the region of letters ; that the accused shall stand, day after day, and year after year, as a spectacle before the public, which shall be kept in a perpetual state of inflammation against him ; yet that he shall not, without the severest penalties, be permitted to submit anything to the judgment of mankind in his defence?
Sivu 176 - Gentlemen, the question you have therefore to try upon all this matter is extremely simple — It is neither more nor less than this. — At a time when the charges against Mr Hastings were, by the implied consent of the commons, in every hand, and on every table ; — when, by their managers, the lightning of eloquence was incessantly consuming him, and...

Sivu 177 - These are the feelings of subjugated man all round the globe; and depend upon it, nothing but fear will control where it is vain to look for affection. These reflections are the only antidotes to those anathemas of superhuman eloquence which have lately shaken...
Sivu 177 - He may and must have offended against the laws of God and nature, if he was the faithful viceroy of an empire wrested in blood from the people to whom God and nature had given it. He may and must have preserved that unjust dominion over timorous and...
Sivu 176 - Hastings himself to have reminded the public that he was a native of this free land, entitled to the common protection of her justice, and that he had a defence in his turn to offer to...
Sivu 176 - ... evidence that it was published by him with a different spirit and intention from those in which it was written. The question therefore is correctly what I just now stated it to be : could Mr Hastings have been condemned to infamy for writing this book? Gentlemen, I tremble with indignation to be driven to put such a question in England. Shall it be endured, that a .subject of this country...
