A35860	A Dialogue between a director of the new East-India Company and one of the committee for preparing by-laws for the said company in which those for a rotation of directors and the preventing of bribes are particularly debated.		1699 (1699)	Wing D1293; ESTC R343	20,712	32

the_o commander_n licence_n to_o trade_n we_o may_v expect_v they_o will_v be_v more_o favourable_a to_o their_o own_o interest_n than_o that_o of_o the_o company_n by_o how_o much_o the_o one_o be_v near_a to_o they_o than_o the_o other_o and_o when_o director_n may_v fraught_v their_o own_o ship_n any_o tool_n they_o have_v will_v be_v adjudge_v fit_a for_o our_o service_n whereas_o when_o they_o be_v not_o concern_v themselves_o and_o so_o not_o bias_v by_o their_o interest_n they_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v curious_a and_o nice_a in_o their_o choice_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v the_o best_a and_o proper_a ship_n the_o kingdom_n afford_v and_o upon_o the_o best_a term_n to_o let_v the_o director_n be_v both_o buyer_n and_o seller_n of_o their_o own_o commodity_n and_o let_v and_o hire_v their_o own_o ship_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n will_v be_v a_o unaccountable_a folly_n in_o we_o and_o i_o hope_v the_o loss_n and_o inconvenience_n the_o old_a company_n have_v suffer_v by_o that_o liberty_n will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a warning_n to_o we_o to_o avoid_v the_o same_o error_n at_o present_v there_o be_v not_o many_o of_o our_o director_n concern_v in_o such_o ship_n as_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o india_n trade_n therefore_o this_o by-law_n can_v be_v only_o a_o inconvenience_n to_o a_o few_o and_o why_o we_o shall_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o five_o or_o six_o director_n neglect_v the_o make_n of_o a_o law_n that_o will_v for_o ever_o secure_a the_o company_n from_o many_o mischief_n which_o may_v attend_v we_o by_o want_v such_o a_o law_n be_v what_o i_o can_v understand_v beside_o it_o will_v be_v less_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o director_n and_o easy_a obtain_v to_o make_v such_o a_o by-law_n now_o while_o they_o be_v little_o concern_v in_o ship_n than_o hereafter_o when_o by_o such_o a_o liberty_n their_o concern_v in_o it_o be_v become_v much_o great_a and_o without_o pretend_v to_o a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n i_o will_v affirm_v that_o before_o we_o be_v six_o month_n old_a those_o director_n who_o be_v not_o concern_v in_o the_o ship_n you_o shall_v fraught_v for_o this_o season_n will_v not_o have_v such_o a_o aversion_n to_o this_o by-law_n as_o they_o now_o seem_v to_o have_v if_o any_o director_n have_v a_o small_a part_n of_o a_o ship_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o india_n trade_n which_o by_o this_o law_n can_v serve_v the_o company_n till_o that_o director_n have_v sell_v his_o part_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o owner_n will_v ready_o buy_v it_o almost_o on_o his_o own_o term_n to_o make_v her_o free_a for_o the_o company_n be_v service_n so_o that_o in_o that_o case_n which_o be_v think_v the_o hard_a the_o director_n can_v suffer_v no_o loss_n but_o will_v be_v rather_o a_o gainer_n but_o if_o his_o part_n be_v very_o large_a every_o one_o may_v guess_v how_o that_o will_v bias_n he_o to_o the_o company_n be_v prejudice_n it_o may_v be_v say_v those_o director_n that_o be_v not_o concern_v in_o ship_n may_v hire_v ship_n adjust_a damage_n demurrage_v etc._n etc._n but_o every_o body_n know_v how_o apt_a those_o that_o sit_v at_o the_o same_o board_n be_v to_o favour_v one_o another_o so_o that_o such_o a_o method_n will_v but_o deceive_v we_o and_o can_v be_v no_o security_n to_o the_o company_n beside_o those_o director_n that_o have_v not_o be_v concern_v in_o ship_n will_v want_v skill_n and_o experience_n to_o manage_v those_o affair_n and_o can_v be_v think_v so_o proper_a to_o compose_v a_o committee_n of_o ship_n as_o other_o that_o have_v be_v long_o acquaint_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o while_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o committee_n let_v i_o observe_v to_o you_o that_o a_o by-law_n for_o a_o change_n or_o rotation_n among_o the_o several_a committee_n as_o well_o as_o among_o the_o director_n at_o the_o annual_a election_n will_v in_o my_o opinion_n be_v of_o great_a advantage_n and_o security_n to_o the_o company_n both_o for_o prevent_v corruption_n and_o give_v each_o director_n a_o opportunity_n to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o company_n whereas_o by_o continue_v the_o same_o committee_n they_o will_v be_v almost_o stranger_n to_o all_o other_o business_n but_o that_o under_o their_o particular_a management_n we_o have_v liberty_n by_o our_o charter_n to_o make_v what_o by-law_n we_o please_v for_o our_o security_n and_o good_a government_n and_o since_o we_o have_v see_v those_o rock_n and_o sand_n on_o which_o the_o old_a company_n have_v split_v we_o shall_v be_v extreme_o want_v to_o ourselves_o and_o our_o posterity_n if_o we_o do_v not_o provide_v sufficient_o against_o they_o but_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v buble_v out_o of_o our_o safety_n and_o sense_n by_o sophistry_n and_o false_a reason_v d._n you_o seem_v mighty_a warm_a for_o your_o by-law_n as_o if_o they_o be_v so_o great_a a_o security_n to_o the_o company_n against_o the_o ill_a practice_n of_o the_o director_n whereas_o if_o we_o be_v ill_a man_n it_o will_v require_v no_o great_a thought_n or_o cunning_a to_o elude_v the_o force_n of_o most_o of_o they_o and_o more_o particular_o your_o by-law_n about_o ship_n and_o that_o against_o receive_v gift_n or_o bribe_n as_o you_o call_v they_o therefore_o when_o all_o be_v do_v you_o must_v trust_v to_o our_o honesty_n c._n i_o be_o senlible_a there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o truth_n in_o what_o you_o now_o say_v yet_o it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n against_o have_v by-law_n because_o ill_a man_n may_v elude_v they_o they_o will_v however_o be_v some_o awe_n and_o restraint_n upon_o they_o if_o ever_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o director_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v discover_v but_o if_o

with_o which_o i_o will_v conclude_v the_o best_a and_o only_o good_a security_n we_o can_v have_v against_o the_o evil_a practice_n of_o bad_a man_n and_o subject_v our_o best_a man_n to_o
