The speech by Mr St John opens the fourth article accusing Warren Hastings of corrupt contracts, unjust allowances, and expensive agency. He argues the danger to government from corruption and calls for punishment. Hastings allegedly violated a Company act by issuing contracts without public ad vertisement, favouring dealers who routed profits to others. Earlier contracts for opium, bullion, and stores allegedly bypassed proper process, with Mackenzie given multiple contracts without advertisement. Hastings allegedly elevated a contractor to judge advocate then reappointed him as contractor, and showed favour to Mr Sullivan with a four year contract.
