It was effected, however, and the manner in which it was effected was something curious.

Mr.Lushington, who by this time was got completely over, himself tells you that in conferences with Major Calliaud, and by arguments and reasons by him delivered, he was persuaded to unsay his swearing, and to declare that he believed that the affidavit which he made at Patna, and while the transaction was recent or nearly recent, must be a mistake: that he _believed_ (what is amazing indeed for any belief) that not Mr.Hastings, but he himself, interpreted.

Mr.Lushington completely loses his own memory, and he accepts an offered, a given memory, a memory supplied to him by a party in the transaction.

By this operation all difficulties are removed: Mr.
Hastings is at once put into the capacity of a judge.

He is declared by Mr.Lushington not to have been an interpreter in the transaction.
