Well, to my mind, this would have been sight enough if the contents had belonged to the plunderers, but they did not they belonged to the unfortunate Gaya irader, who had not only lost all their belongings but bad alto bad hanses burned over their hords. T the Company bid, festead, holsted their dig on these rivers, left a suficient ferce of Palles to protect it, and then taken steps to salve the plunder for the benefit of the rex owners, It seems to me it would bave been a mock more reasonable proceedings and they would have been perfectly Josiffied to holding the rivers, in any care untli they had been.
