description Mentions the letter (6th March) he has written, on behalf of the [Wesleyan Methodist Missionary] Society, to the Earl of Liverpool regarding provision being made for the introduction of Christian missionaries to India as part of the new East India Company charter. Having not heard back from his lordship the Committee had assumed that their proposals had been adopted but upon reading the bill no such provision has been made. Only provision is for the Church of England (which they do not disapprove of) with no reference to ministers or members of other churches or societies. They accept there may be differences of opinion with regard to the need to 'convert the Natives to Christianity' but there should be no restriction based on denominations preaching to their own members in India. Further explanation can be received from Mr Thompson and Mr [Joseph] Butterworth.
