Debates on Dewannee grant and Nabob consent in India
In the questioning, Colonel Musaro discusses offers of the Dewannee to the Company, the Nabob's consent, and his reasons for not accepting. He notes Mogul authority to grant without Nabob's consent and states he sought to extricate the company from danger rather than seize rewards. He recalls letters after Buxar and confirms no public remuneration for surrendering jaghire, while denying private gifts. He also describes Nepotism, payments to officers, and his stance on Donatives and donations from princes.
