rinted ticket for the Trial of Warren Hastings - permit the bearer to pass ans repass (not transferable) session 1793 N.265 Wm Vaugn Esq

The Impeachment of Warren Hastings was a failed attempt to impeach the former Governor-General of India Warren Hastings in the Parliament of Great Britain between 1788 and 1795. Hastings was accused of misconduct during his time in Calcutta particularly relating to mismanagement and personal corruption. The prosecution was led by Edmund Burke and became a wider debate about the role of the East India Company and the expanding empire in India. The trial did not sit continuously and the case dragged on for seven years. When the eventual verdict was given Hastings was overwhelmingly acquitted. It has been described as “probably the British Isles’ most famous, certainly the longest, political trial”.
