Nuncomar |
 | | In 1775, when Hastings was governor-general, Nuncomar brought accusations of peculation[?] against him, which were entertained by Francis and the other members of council inimical to Hastings. |
 | | While the matter was still pending Nuncomar was indicted for forgery, condemned and executed. |
 | | See Sir James Stephen, The Story of Nuncomar (2 vols., 1885); and, for another treatment of the case, H Beveridge, The Trial of Nanda Kumar (Calcutta, 1886). |
