The Hastings Trial Opens Nundcomar Charges Debate
The May 14 session of Warren Hastings’s trial features Mr Grey presenting the Nundcomar charges with letters from 1778 and Hastings’s responses. Debate centers on admissibility of evidence and Hastings’s alleged conduct, including the dissolving of the council and related testimonies, as peers and judges weigh legal precedents and the proper use of documents in court.

Themistocles Aim and Christian Ethics in 1783 Debate
A May 20 1783 letter from Leices Frend is cited in which the author urges British legislators to oppose the slave trade as a flagrant violation of morality. He draws contrasts with Themistocles and Aristides, arguing Christians should reject expediency that profits from injustice and condemns slavery as a major affront to virtue and divine rights. The piece frames moral duty against national gain.
