Hastings and Congo Burnant Sing the East India probes
In the Lords Burke frames Hastings as corrupt, detailing a system of peculation. Hastings replaces provincial councils with a single body run by his favourites, appoints Congo Burnant Sing to govern Bengal, Bahar and Orissa, and cripples tenants with bonds and forced sales. The witness Patterson cites brutal abuses including pillory practices that ostracized families and ruined estates.
