At a levee of the king held on June 14, PIK a very vinuable diamond of unusual size and brilliancy was pre- sented to George III., ostensibly as it gift. from the teleam or native ruler of Deccan, India. At the period when this magnificent Deace offering was given to the king the impeachment of Warren, Hastings was advancing in parlianient, and it was current rumor that this and sev- eral lesser diamonds were the pur- chase price of Hastings' acquittal. Caricatures appeared in the win- dows of the printshops. One repre- sented Hastings wheeling the lthig vs market in a wheelbarrow and saying: "What a man buys he may Bell again."
