Conway, who was only 37 years of age, went to India as a cadet, so young as 14, and has left a family whose support depended on his existence. The circumstances which led to the commission of this execrable act are related as follow, in a private letter from a gentleman of rank in the Company's service at Bombay, dated March 4...[briefly, Vizier Ally's conduct at Benares was neither ""princely nor decorous"" and the British Government complained. He was found to be illegitimate and hence not a legal heir and was disposed of his position with the involvement in negotiations of Cherry as interpreter, Graham as investigator and Conway also being involved. The present Nabob was trying to apprehend Vizier Ally]. |
