Excerpt from Speeches of the Managers and Counsel in the Trial of Warren Hastings, Vol. 1 Meanwhile, the Mahrattas, who had retired across the Ganges previous to the rainy season, again threatened an incursion into the Rohilla country. The promised aid of the Wazir was very partially given, the only semblance of assistance afforded being from a body of English troops, under Sir Robert Barker, who guarded the frontier of the Wazir himself, but in some measure overawing the Mahrattas by his presence. The Rohillas were accordingly thrown on their own resources, and they saved their country only by the expedient of purchasing the mercy of the Mahrattas by a money payment. Throughout these transactions the Govern ment of Calcutta had acted on the principle of protecting the Rohillas by strengthening the Wazir and threatening the Mahrattas, should they expose themselves by advancing far into the country, and had uniformly expressed confidence on the ultimate withdrawal of the Mahrattas, on account of the revolution recently effected in their own country.
