After some further articles re-

 of the company, the LXVlIIth 

 enacts, that the Board of Commis- 

 sioners be invested with full power 

 to control the appropriation of 

 any part of the territorial revenues 

 of the company, except the sums 

 directed by this act to be issued in 

 India for the purpose of making 

 good payments at home on ac- 

 count of territorial charges, or of 

 loans in India. 



By another article, the number 

 of his majesty's forces, for which

 exceed 20,000, including commis- 

 sioned and non-commissioned offi-

 sent to India on the requisition of 

 the Court of Directors. 



All the remaining articles relate 

 to particular regulations respecting 

 the company's servants, officers, 

 judicial proceedings, &c. of which 

 it appears unnecessary here to give 

 an abstract, as being of little con- 

 cern to the public in general.
