tion by Mr. G. Sanderson, Snperintendent of British and Muham-
madan Monuments, Northern Circle. The inscription as given in the
text is wrong (it was reproduced from Fiihrer.) It reads
and the rest as in the text, save that after the date 1816, should be

The name therefore is Thomas Ross, not Smith.

Introduction.
The present list is an attempt to revise and enlarge the
former list of Christian Tombs and Monuments, published by
Dr. Fiihrerin 1895. The revision consists in a simpler arrange-
ment, in the verification of all epitaphs by district officers or
myself, in the compilation of a bibliography, and the addition
of historical and biographical notes. Tlie enlargement ia consi-
derable ; there are now 989 entries as against 599. Part of this
increase is due to rearrangement, but chiefly it is due to fresh
entries.
Before 1895, the only attempt to deal with the epitaphs
of the U. P. was the " Bengal Obituary,'* published in 1848. It
contained but the merest selection of tombs from this province ;
but the book is now rare, and I have thought it would prove of
interest to distinguish the inscriptions in this list which also
appeared in the old obituary. This is done by the letters " B. 0."
after the inscription.
I have kept in the list the inscriptions of a certain number
of monuments which cannot now be traced, but were in the twa
former lists. It is possible that they may some day be of
interest, even of use, to some pious descendant desirous of keep-
ing green the memory of an ancestor by a new tablet in church
or cemetery.
The period covered is 1611 to 1908. The epitaphs refer
to many events of great importance, from the old English and
Dutch factories and the Jesuit Mission at Agra, down to the
Naini Tal landslip of 1880 and the Manipur rebellion. Of the
whole posse of Anglo-Indian worthies, forgotten, half forgotten-
and unforgettable, the Province can claim its full share, — from>
John Mildenhall, the self-styled " ambassador " of Elizabeth,-
whose tomb is said by competent authority to be probably the
oldest English tomb in India, down to Quinton and Capper
and Sir John Strachey. A complete list of the great men who
died in the U. P. would commence with an English Marquess
who fought in three continents and ruled in two : it would end,
perhaps, with a gallant French circus-master who went out to
fight with Anglo-Indian Volunteers at Agra ^^ pour Vlionneur de
Valliance. '* Soldier, statesman, civilian, doctor, missionary,
factor, man of learning, heroes of Lake's wars, of Gurkha
and Pindari and Afghan and Sikh and Central Indian and
Mutiny campaigns, Viceroys and Lieutenant Governors and
Political Agents and Judges and Collectors, — such is the
medley of famous men which this list commemorates.
Kudyard Kipling in one of his famous stories has laid stress
on the way in which certain families have served, and are slill
serving, India from father to sou. Of this fact this list affords
2 Introduction.
ample proof. It would be interesting to calculate how many
of the persons buried in this province were born as well as died
in India ; the figure would be high indeed. The families of
LaTouche and Thornhill are two conspicuous instances. There
are no less than five of the former race buried in this province
alone ; no less than seven of the latter family were serving in
this province at one and the same time. Cherry, Hogg, Currie,
Muir, Boileau, Lawrence, Strachey, Lushington, Havelock,
Lindsay, Hope — all these families can boast a similar succession
of Anglo-Indian officers.
No list of epitaphs can be without its instances of uncon-
scious humour. I found an epitaph to a man who died ** craving
a large widow and family to mourn his loss" ; an exquisite in-
stance of a " nice derangement of epitaphs." There are many
curious verses such as the somewhat prosaic lines beginning —
** Good attendance was applied,
Physicians were in vain ;"
and, above all, the little poem entitled '* To-day and to-
morrow."
Nor is the list without its puzzles. How came a Major "of
the Brazilian service" to be buried in Chunar ? Who was Eliz-
abeth R , " of His Majesty's — th Foot ? " Was she one
of those Amazons of whom one occasionally reads, who joined
a regiment in male attire and fought with it for years ? The
Indian sculptor, '* Ramjohn Mistry" of the Chunar inscription
and his kind, is responsible for many curiosities. His weird
genius turns *'Cathcart" into *' Cat. H. Cart", **R. E. Parry''
into *' Reparry", ** Cha. Wil. Burton " into ** Chawil Barton."
In Fiihrer's list was to be found an exact replica of the inscrip-
tion on the monument to the officers killed at Bhitaura in 1794,
which was described as in a Chunar cemetery. The explanation
is this. Many of these funeral monuments were of Chunar
stone. The duplicate at Chunar was on a flawed stone, which
had been rejected, and left lying about at Chunar. A collector,
i)ir pius, found it and put it up in the cemetery, to cause (as I
myself know) much searching of heart and history to various
gentlemen who wondered how on earth we came to be embroiled
with the Rohillas so far east as Mirzapur !
A few words about some of the less well-known authorities
in the bibliography may be of value : —
(1) T/ie calendar and director!/ of the Agra archdiocese
(No. 15) is much more than its name implies. It con-
tains very valuable notes on many old tombs at Agra
compiled from the old mission archives by Father
Felix, 0. C.
(2) Dyce Sombre versus Solaroli, 8fc. (No. 16), is a book con-
taining the depositions in the famous will suit of 1852
{vide note on Dyce Sombre).
rNTROBTTCTlOK. 3
(3) The sketch of the rise and progress of the Benares Pat'
shalla (No. 36) is a history, existing in manuscript
in the Benares College Library, of Jonathan Duncan's
Sanskrit College from the foundation up to 1848,
written by a Professor at the College, and printed in
1907.
(4) Bodwell and Miles* Lists (No. 117-9), and Prinsep's Gene-
ral register'' (No. 120) are similar to the present "His-
tory of services of Gazetted officers", but much less
complete. For soldiers and medical men, the dates of
commissions and death or retirement are given : for
Civilians, the various posts held.
(5) The E. I. register (No. 121) is the forerunner of the
present Civil Lists and India Army Lists, combined
in one volume. But it also contains (up to 1835 or
so) lists of non-official residents, with births, marriages
and deaths.
(6) The Services Bengal Army List (No. 125) is a series of
manuscript volumes containing details about many
officers, obviously extracts from letters written home
to the Court of Directors. There is much curious in-
formation in this book ; for instance I found one field
officer who was tried by court martial on 23 charges,
one of which was swearing at the standing orders !
He was reprimanded.
(7) The Writer's Petitions, Cadet's Papers, and Assistant
Surgeon's Petitions (Nos. 126-9) are the original
papers referring to the nominations of the civil,
military and medical officers of the Company. They
begin with little more than a birth certificate ; later,
they contain also information of all kinds, notably
about the father's profession, and the schools at which.
the officer concerned was educated.
One other point I may be permitted to mention. It may be
noticed that I have been silent on the controversies which have
raged and are still raging round the names of certain great men.
My reason is simply that if pigmies must squabble about a dead
giant, they should at least have the decency not to do so over
the giant's tomb. And further cui bono ? we may surely say of
their memories, as of their souls, *' Requiescat in pace."
My thanks are due to the gentlemen mentioned at the end of
the bibliography for the courtesy with which they have always
answered ray requests for information. I am also indebted to
Mr. R. Burn, C. S., for many useful hints which led me to
sources of information; to Mr. A. G. Ellis of the India Office
for assistance with the Armenian inscriptions ; and to Miss
Milford for the excellent photograph of John Mildenhall's
tomb which is reproduced as a frontispiece. Other civilians
who took much trouble in collecting inscriptions for me are
4 Introduction'.
Messrs. J. V. S. Wilkinson, J. C. Moore and H. G. Smith. But
most of all am I indebted to four gentlemen — Mr. W. Irvine for
♦he loan of various authorities otherwise inaccessible ; Captain
']£,. Milford, who collected for me all the information given about
the Indian and other services of British Hegiments ; the Rev-
erend Father H. Hosten, S. J., who not only furnished me with
a mass of material and hints on that difficult subject, the Jesuits
in Agra, but was good enough to look through and criticize
my account of them ; it is to be hoped that he will some day take
this subject in hand and deal with it as it deserves ; and lastly
Mr. W. Foster of the India Office, not only for many valuable
suggestions and the readiness with which he put both private and
official sources of information at my disposal, but for the sym-
pathy with which he viewed my attempt to deal adequately with
the deeds of " famous men, and our fathers who begat us."

Feels as a man, but as a Christian bears. (B. 0.)

9.— 1814— GURKHAS KILLED AT KALANGA. Inscription:—
On the ivest side. — On the highest point of the hill above
this tomb stood the fort of Kalanga. After two assaults on the
31st October and 27th November, it was captured by the British-
troops on the 30th of November 1814 and completely razed ta
the ground.
On the east side. — This is inscribed as a tribute of respect
for our gallant adversary Bulbudder, Commander of the Foi-t,
and his brave Goorkhas, who were afterwards, while in the
service of Ranjit Singh, shot down in their ranks to the last
man by the Afghan Artillery.
[The exact position is on a low hill 3| miles N.-B. of Dehra, opposite the
6th furlong of mile 110 on the road mentioned in the title, and half a mile
iiataat on the right hand side of the road.
Kalanga is also called Nalapani. In 1814 Lord Hastings declared war on
Nepal and invaded it with 4 columns, of which one, under General Gillespie, was
to penetrate the Siwaliks and occupy the Dun. The Kalanga fort was held in
force. Contrary to direct orders against rash attacks on strong places, Gillespie
decided to storm it. He arranged a signal for the attack : but gave it an hour too
soon, and only two out of four columns obeyed it. Ensign EUis led his Pioneers
up to the wall but was killed almost immediately, and the columns were repulsed.
Gillespie seeing this led a second assault himself but was not too readily followed
except by about 100 men of the 8th Dragoons, which he had once commanded.
He was shot close under the wall, and his A. D. C, Lieut. O^Hara, was also killed
Iby his side. Col. Mawbey waited for a siege train, and when it arrived bombarded
the place for two days. On the 27th November another assault was made. The
troops hung back : Lieut. Harrington of the 53rd mounted the breach alone,
to show how easily it could be ascended: but being unsupported " fell a victim
to his gallantry and zeal." Lieut. Luxford then took up a light gun as close aa
he could to Gxq it into the breach ; ho too was killed in so doing. The men •

would not attack again and the retreat was sounded. Nine officers and 62 men
were killed, 20 officers and 649 men were wounded in the two assaults. The
plice was then regularly shelled and evacuated on the 30th. It was a disastrous
afiair, wasting many lives, and what was almost as important, two cold weather
months. Balbhaddar Singh was nephew of 'General Amr Singh, regent for Raja
Bir Bikram Sah. He had only 200 men to defend Kalanga with.
The 8th B. I. L. D., are now the 8th (King's Royal Irish) Hussars. Their
Indian honours are Laswaree, Hindostan, Central India and Afghanistan 1879-
80. They also fought in the Crimea and Boer war ; we shall find them again at
Kali D jar. The 53rd are now the 1st Battalion, the King's (Shropshire Light
Infantry). They were raised in 1755 and were in India from 1805 to 1823, 1844
to 18G0, and 1894 to 1903. Their Indian honours are Aliwal, Sobraon, Punjab,
Gujarat and Lucknow. They have also fought at Nieuport and Tournay, in the
West ladies, Egypt and the Soudan : and a 2nd battalion, in existence from
1803 to 1817, fought through the Peninsular war.
The «'l Risalah of Skinner's Horse " is now represented by the 1st Duke
of York's Own Lancers (Skinner's Horse), for the 2nd Risalah of Skinner's Horse
(now 3rd Lancers), was not raised till December of this year. This famous
regiment was raised by Colonel J. Skinner from a body of Perron's Horse, who
came over after Lake's victory at Delhi : their honours are Bhurtpore, Oandahar
1842, Afghanistan 1879-80 and Pekin 1900. It is to be noted that " Risalah '»
at this time meant not a regiment but a body of 114 rank and file, exclusive of
English officers. There were up to 1814-15 eight " Risalahs " of Skinner's Horse :
it was then increased to three regiments of 1,304 rank and file each, including
galloper guns. The 3rd Lancers was the 2nd of these corps.

69th Foot from the mutineers at Vellore with a regiment of Dragoons, a squadron
of native cavalry and some galloper guns. He commanded the cavalry in the
expedition against Ranjit Singh in 1809, the Mysore division, and the advance
of Sir S. Auchmuty's expedition to Java (1807 — 13). He fought at Cornellis and
Djoejocarta. He left Java in 1812 and went as Major-General to Meerut. He was

to him in St. Paul's Cathedral. Cf No. 8 for his death.]

1825), son of David Ochterlony, was born at Boston, New England. He joined the
H. E I. O's Bengal Army in 1777, served under Sir E, Coote (1781-3.) and was
taken prisoner at Cuddalore (1783) and released in 1784. He fought under Lake
in 1803 in the Daab. After the battle of Delhi he was appointed resident at
the Emperor's court. He commanded at Allahabad in 1806, and on the
Butlej against Ranjit Singh in 1808. In 1814-15, he commanded one of the
four columns sent against the Gurkhas — the westernmost which operated near
the Sutlej and the only one successful. He took Fort Malagarh and defeated
Amr Singh at Malaun (cf. No. 7 note). He was made a Baronet and K. C. B.
for his services ; in 1816 he took command of the main army operating against
Khatmandu, defeated the Gurkhas at Magwampar and ended the war. He be-
came a G. 0. B. in 1816. In the Pmdari-Mlahratta War (1817-18) he commanded
the reserve column at Re wari. His advance sou' h of Jaipur forced the Pindari
Amir Khan to accept a treaty without striking a blow and further clever strategy
compelled the surrender of the Pathan forces. In 1818 he became Resident in
Rajputana, which he pacified. In 1825 he prepared to support with arms
Balwant Singh, the six-year old Raja of Bhartpur, against an usurper, on the
ground that he, as Resident, by the presentation of a " Khilat " had pledged the
Government to recognize the succession : but Lord Amherst refused to put this
construction on his action, or to intervene ; and his deaih is ascribed to chagrin
at the insult to his honour. A column has been erected to him at Calcutta. He
obtained a second patent in 1823 recreating him a baronet with remainder to-
Charles Metcalfe Ochterlony, son of Roderick Peregrine Ochterlony. The present
baronet is Sir David Ferguson Ochterlony, of Ochterlony, Forfarshire. The family
formerly belonged to Pitforthy, of which Sir David's grandfather was laird : but
in the direct line, at all events, it is extinct.]

While darkness veiled the vaulted sky,
In solemn silent march they trod,
■Eager to shout their battle cry,
And prompt to war for Britain and for God.
And when the earthquake signal shock,
Gave angry summons to advance, at
And firm and stern as planted rock,
Each hero braved the hostile lance :
Kemember, soldiers, nothing could uphold
The warrior spirit like the hope of Heaven ;
And woulds't thou bear thyself with front as bold,
Beheve in Him in whom thy sins forgiven.
He shall support them more awful seems, CsicJ.
When louder trumpets' clang shall rouse their ear,
When nature's universal wreck is seen.
And saints victorious shout, and sinners sink with fear.

[Bharatpur was a virgin fortress which had repulsed Lake in 1805. At this
time it had been seized by an usurper, who had imprisoned the boy heir. Sir D.
Ochterlony assembled a force to assault it : and though Lord Amherst put ofi the
evil day, a few months later it. was found imperative to send a force against it.
Lord Oombermere commanded the army of 21,000 men. Lieutenant-Colonel
Edwards was in charge of a brigade of three regiments. There was a good deal
of desultory fighting at the end of December and there was an ineffective bom-
bardment on the 24th December. Lord Combermere then decided to mine the
walls of the town. Gokulgarh, which was nearest the citadel. By the 18th two
breaches had been made and that day an assault by four columns was carried
out. The gai.rison was driven back in spite of a gallant defence ; Brigadier
Edwards (No. 18 below) was wounded severely, and died of his wounds.
The 14th Foot had two battalions. This was the lat battalion, raised in
1685. It was in India from 1810 to 1831 and 18G7 to 1879. Its Indian honours
are " Java," " Bhartpore " and " India " (with Royal Tiger). It was formerly
the 14th (Buckinghamshire, the Prince of Wales* Own) Regiment, and is now
the Prince of Wales' Own (West Yorkshire) Regiment. It also fought at
Tournay, Corunna, Waterloo and Sevastopol, as well as at the siege of Gibraltar,
Falkirk, Culloden and Walcheren. Sir T. Reynell commanded the 1st Infantry
Division ; Brigadier Edwards (No. 18) was Colonel of the 14th aad com-
manded the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, under Sir Jasper Nicolls.]

Sacred to the memory of Lieutenant- Colonel Robert Arnold, 16th
Lancers, Brigadier, commanding the Bengal Cavalry of the Army
of the ' Indus,' who died at Kabul, 20th August 1839 ; also of Cap-
tain William Hilton, drowned in crossing the river jhelum on the
11th December 1839 ; and of Lieutenant David Jewerarity, bar-
barously murdered at Kandahar, 18th May 1839. This tablet is
erected by the Regimental Officers and men as a record of their
affection and esteem for their commanding officer, and respect for
the memory of their deeply lamented comrades.
[Col. Arnold died at Kabul. He " had long remained in a hopeless state : . .
I do not think he ever recovered the attack he had at Meerut. " At Meerut,
nearly a year before, Col. Arnold had burst a blood vessel in his lungs. At
Waterloo he had been shot through the lungs and recovered. The IGth Lancers,
now the 16th (the Queen's) Lancers, were raised in 1759 and in India from 1822
to 1840, They were at Bhartpore, Ghazni, Maharajpore, Aliwal, Sobraon, and
Meerut. ^
Afghanistan— all of which, honours they bear— and also fought in the Peninsular
War at Waterloo and the last Boer war.]

Walter Young Beale, Her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot, who
fell in action gallantly leading on his company to the attack of the
trenches at ' Sobraon ' on the 10th February 1846. This tablet
is erected by their brother officers as a token of the regard they felt
for them and regret at their loss.
[Sobraon was a siroDgly intrenched position on the Sutlej. There were 67
guns in position and some 35,000 men in the trenches ; but the latter were not
ali trained and the former not of uniform design. The action commenced with a
tremendous cauncnade. Sir E. Dick's leading brigade on the right carried the
entrenchments ; the second Jiae was checked, but re-formed and again advanced.
Gilbert's division was checked but also rallied, and Sir H. Smith's division
was successful. Even the cavalry rode through an opening in the entrench-
ments and charged. The trenches were carried with the bayonet. The en«my
broke and were cut to pieces on the bridge which gave way under them. The
battle of Sobraon was decisive and ended the First Sikh War. The 10th Foot
present at Sobraon was the present 1st Battalion, the Lincolnshire Regiment.]

Her Majesty's 16th Lancers, who fell at the battle of Aliwal, 28th Jan-
uary 1846, in the hour of victory, whilst charging the enemy's bat-
teries, anno cetatis 27. This tablet is erected by his brother officers,
as a token of esteem and affection.
[This battle was won by Sir Htrry Smith against Ranjit Singh. They
came into collision at Aliwal : the Sikh line inclined towards and extended beyond
the British right, whilst the other flank was more distant. The Sikh line
rested on Aliwal on the left, and this Sir Harry attacked with success : for
his opponents at this point were not the trained army, but levies : they broke
and left the Sikh gunners to be cut down. The cavalry made a successful charge
and rolled up half the Sikh army. On the left, however, the trained Sikhs
slool, until charged by the IGth Lancers, who rode thrice through them. It is
not clear whether this young officer was killed in capturing the guns on the
Sikhs' left, or in the charge on the infantry, or in capturing the guns subse-
quently. It may have been any of the three — most probably from the wording
of the epitaph the third.]

with the enemy, near the village of Kakirowlee in Rohilcund,
on the morning of the 30th April 1858, after a service of 51 years.
His precious remains were brought into Meerut through the kind
exertions of Captain E. J. Simpson, Assistant Commissary-
General.

Them also which sleep in Jebus will God bring with him.
Thes. 4:th chapter, part of 11th verse.
[General Penny succeeded General Hewitt in the Meerut command in July
1857. In March 1858 he was engaged by Sir Colin Campbell's order in guard-
ing the Ganges from Hardwar to Kadirganj against the rebels on the far side.
The distance was 600 miles, his force was 2,500 strong and there were 50,000
rebels. Even in that war of miraculous achievements this was beyond human
power to efiect : and shortly after he was sent in command of a movable column
into Aligarh and Rohilkhand. In April he v/as ordered to meet Sir C. Campbell
at Miranpur Katra and it was during his march thither from Patiali that the
afiair of Kakrala (Kakirowlee of the inscription) occurred. The best account of
this is to be found in Cracroft Wilson's narrative published as the Moradabad
Mutiny narrative. The column marched at 9 p.m. Even in an enemy's country
no tihing would induce General Penny to expose "his Europeans'* to the sun.
Wilson was with the advanced guard of Carabineers. The march was leisurely,
and the infantry were left in the rear, At dawu the sta££ had joined the
Meerut. 13
advanced guard when suddenly they came on some horsemen, who opened out, and
four guns loaded with grape were fired at them. By a miracle no one was hit ;
the British Artillery unlimbered, but not till four rounds had been fired by the
enemy. As soon as our guns opened a body of Ghazis charged, but they were
cut up by the Carabineers. The enemy then retreated. It was now discovered
that General Penny was missing. His corpse was found 800 yards beyond the
spot where the Carabineers had charged the Ghazis. His left arm had beea
broken by a bullet, his reins had dropped and his pony had galloped to the front,
into the midst of the rebels : then he fell ofE and was despatched by two sword-
outs. General Penny fell a victim to his care for his European soldiers. The
story is told of him that at Patiali he threatened to prohibit altogether soma
sports that were got up for the soldiers if they were not on the ground at dawn.
A stern disciplinarian he was none the less beloved by his men. " The good old
General," as Wilbon affectionately calls him, was bur.ed under a mango tree : his
body was subsequently removed and re-interred in Meerut.
Nicholas Penny (1790-1855) entered the Bengal N. I. in 1807. He was
present at the siege of Bhartpur in 1825-6 and commanded a brigade at Ahwal,
Sobraon (1st Sikh War) and at Chilianwala and Gujrat (2nd Sikh War). He
commanded the Sirhind Division in 1852, the Cawnpore Division in 1855 and
the Meerut Division in 1857 ; Major-General 1854. The first text is from Isaiah

victory shall endure." This monument was repaired and the tablet
which had disappeared was replaced by order of the Lieut.- Govr.
of N.-W. P., 1898. The battle was fought on the 11th September
1800.
[There are several errors in the above, especially in the extract quoted.
The whole order is given by Thorn. The errors are as follows : —
Lieutenant William Preston (joined service in 1798), belonged to the 2nd
battalion, 15th N.T.
' Captain McGreggor " should be " Captain McGregor."
"Exemplary .... spirit" should read «• Exemplary exertion of
deliberate valour and disciplined spirit." ^
" Communicated " should be " commemorated."
The troops of the enemy at Delhi consisted of 18 battalions of Perron's
regulars, mostly belonging to the 2nd and 3rd brigades. They were commanded
by Louis Bourquien, Perron's bosom friend, who had treacherously deserted
him, won over both brigades (he had formerly only commanded the 3rd) and
forced the poor old Emperor, Shah Alam, to invest him with the supreme
authority. Shah Alam " deputed more authority from a prison than many a
sovereign has done from a throne," but his keeper. Captain Drugeon, stood by
Perron and had to be forced to submission by Bourquien. Meantime, Perron bad
been defeated and surrendered to the British ; and this gave colour to Bourquien's
assertions that Perron was a traitor. The remnants that remained after Aligarh
and Shikohabad flocked to him and he found himself in command of 15,000
men and 70 guns. Lake marched against him from Aligarh, and on the 11th
September was fought the battle of Delhi. He had only 4,500 men ; the enemy
were in a very strong position with a swamp on each side, so thit according to
T]|^rn a frontal attack alone was possible. Then followed Lake's famous ruse.
He feigned retreat with his cavalry ; which simple manoeuvre drew the enemy
out of their position in pursuit, to be met by the infantry in line. Lake could
rely on the "personal equation" of Bourquien — *• cook, pyrotechnist and pol-
troon," as one author calls him, — to make his ruse successful. The British
infantry, led by Lake in person, marched through a storm of grape, fired one
volley and charged. The enemy, for the first time in the history of DeBoigne's
brigades, broke without showmg fight : and then the infantry formed into columns
of companies and let the cavalry through in pursuit. The defeat became a
rout : they lost 3,000 men and 68 guns : Lake lost 477, of whom 131 belonged
to the one English regiment, the 76th.
For the 76 bh cf. No. 64. The 2nd battalion, 15th N. I., are the present 2nd

[This tomb is mentioned by Keene, writing in 1880. The name was then

place of the brave Frenchman, Le Vassoult. Father Noti, however, quotes
another inscription in the grave-yard as follows : •* Oi-git N. Le Vassoult, dge

form in the middle of the graveyard." Very little is known of him before his
marriage to the Begam Samru, which occurred either in 1792 or 1795. Before
his marriage he commanded the Begam's Artillery, and now rose to the chief com-
mand. A man of birth and breeding, he despised his subordinate officers and
showed the contempt which they certainly deserved. His marriage with the

and unfortunately, as there vrero only two witnesses to it (M. Bernier and Colonel
Saleur) the troops were able with some show of reason to denounce their rela-
tions as a mere vulgar intrigue. The troops were ripe for revolt, and a pretender
was at hand. They entered into negotiations with Aloysius, or Louis, Balthazar
Raynaud, Sombre's son by his first wife, to whom they swore fidelity. Le
Vassoult had obtained Sir John Shore's permission to take the Begam to Anup-
shahr, where an English brigade was stationed, on his way to a French settle-
ment. In October he and the Begam left Sardhana — he on a charger : she in a
palanquin. They had agreed that either of them, on learning the news of the
other's deceise, vould die by his or her own hand. The troops pursued and caught
them. The Begam stabbed herself, but the wound was not mortal. Le Vassoult,
thinking she was dead, at once blew out his brains though he could easily have
escaped. We know little of the life of this chivalrous French gentleman, but we
may. well doubt if anything in his life became him like the leaving it,]

46.--1836— JOANNA ZEB-UN-NISSA, H. H. Begam. iSamru.
Inscription : — Sacred to the memory of Her Highness Joanna
Zeb-un nissa, styled "the distinguished of Nobles and beloved
daughter of the State," who quitted a transitory court for an
eternal world, revered and lamented by thousands of her devoted
subjects at her Palace of Sirdhana on the 27th of January 1836, aged
nearly ninety years, Her remains are deposited underneath in this
Cathedral built by herself.
To her powerful mind, her remarkable talent, and the wisdom, justice,
and moderation with which she governed for a period exceeding
half a century, he to whom she was more than a mother is not the
person to award the praise ; bat in grateful respect to her beloved
memory is this monument erected by him who humbly trusts she
will receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
David Ochterlont Dyce-Sombre.
(Besides this, there are Urdu and Latin epitaphs to the same ei^ect.)
[The real name and origin of this famous lady is uncertain. She is described
variously as a Hindu dancing-girl, the daughter of a decayed Muhammadan
nobleman of Kotana on the Jumna, and a Syudani, or descendant of the Prophet.
" Zeb-uu-nissa" is a title : Joanna Nobilis, her name after baptism. In the deed
of gift of her property to Dyoe-Sombre she is described as " Joanna Sombre,
entitled Oomdur ool Arakeen Ferdenze Azizan Zebool Nissa Begam." This how-
ever is marely a trophy of titles. This lady was married to Sombre (vide No. 1 2 i)
at Sardhana by Muhammadan rites, and possessed very great influence over her
husband. At his death his property passed to her. She was beaut ful, clever
and of a masculine spirit. She kept many foreign officers in her service :
it was doubtless due to their persuasion that she was baptized into the E. 0.
Church in 1781. Among them were Pauly, George Thomas, Evans, Dudrenec, Le
Vassoult, Saleur, Col. Dyce. and Signor Solaroli. George Thomas gained for her
almost the only military fame her troops ever obtained, when he rescued the
Emperor in 1788 beneath the walls of Gokulgirh, and won for Iiis mistress the
title oi " Zeb-uu-nissa" (Glory of the Sex). But her troops were mutinous, as they
were in her husband's time : and her more respectable officers, Thomas, Evans,
Dudrenec, left her one after the other. They were succeeded by Le Vassoult, a
gentleman and a soldier, whom she married. It was apparently a match with
love on both sides. But Le Vassoult was a strict disciplinarian, and his strictness
drove the troops to mutiny in 1796. They swore to replace her by Sombre's son,
Louis Balthazar Reinhardc (of. No. 44). The Begam and Le Vassoult escaped.
They had agreed to commit suicide in the event of capture : they were pursued
and Le Vassoult blew his brains out : but the Begam' s courage failed her, she
only inflicted a slight wound on herself and was captured. Louis, her stepson,
was installed as her successor : but George Thomas, forgetting the slights she
had put on him, restored her to power by force. She joined the Marathas aga'nst
the British, but her troops were defeated with great slaughter at Assaye. After
the fall of Aligarh Robert Skinner induced her to submit to Lord Lake. When
she arrived at the British camp, Lake rose from the dinner table to meet her :
and in a moment of " enthusiasm," gave her a hearty kiss. Her attendants were
startled : but the Begam, with considerable tact, described it to them as " the
kiss of a Padre to his repentant child." It is easy to believe that "the red
face and coat of this momber of the church militant" struck these followers with
a sense of incongruity : but Lake's boldness and the Begam's quick wit made
Meehut. 17
i^e matter a complete success. She was confirmed in her estates, and maintained
almost regal state at Sardhana, living on very friendly terms with the English.
Amongst her visitors were sUch famous men as Bishop Hobor, Lord Combermere
and General Ventura. Her chaplain was Mens gaor ScoLti equally well known
as " Father Julius L'sesar ;" her chief military ofiicer was i\Iajor Reghelini : her
minister of state was Col. Dyce : her Chief Magistrate. Signor Solaroli.
In 1834 the Begam, who was childless, adopted David Dyce Sombre, son of
Col. Dyce, by a daughter of Louis Balthazar. She divested herself of her property
by deed of gift in his favour. She sent a sum of £18,700 to the Pope, and asked
him to elevate Scotti to the see of Sardhana, give her grandson a decoration and
herself a relic. She had built a church to the Holy Virgin Mary : she bad
bequeathed a lakh of rupees to support a college at Sardhana " for mak ng
priests of the natives," and a similar sum for the support of the see. She had
also be^ueaihed a lakh to the residency churches, Rs. 80,000 to the church of
Agra, half a lakh in trust for the poor of Calcutta, another half lakh for the poor
ol Sardhana, and a third for charitable purposes in England. The Pope (Gregory
XVI) granted her wishes, making Dyce-Sombre a Chevalier of the Order of Christ,
and Scotti Bishop of Amathunda and Vicar Apostolic of Sardhana. This won-
derful old lady died, at an age it is said of over 80, on the 27th January 183G,
leaving about £700,000, partly m charities and the residue to Dyce-Sombre.]

48.— 1851- DYCE-SOMBRE, D. O. Jwsmp^zon .-—Sacred to the
memory of David Ochterlony Dyce-Sombre of Sirdhana, who
departed this life in London, 1st July 1851. His remains were con-
veyed to his Native country, (in conformity with his wishes) in the
year 1867, and are deposited in the vault beneath, near those of his
beloved and revered benefactress, Her Highness the Begam Sombre.
He was born at Sirdhana, 18th December 1808, and married 26th
September 1840, the Honorable Mary Anne Jervis, daughter of
Edward Jarvis- Jervis, Viscount St. Vincent of Meaford in the county
of Stafford.
[David Ochterlony Dyce-Sombre, was born in 1808, and of course named
after Sir David Ochterlony, who, as the Dyce-Sombre law suit depositions
show, was a close friend of the family. His father was Col. Greorge Alexander
David Dyce, who was the son of an English officer, a friend of Ocht^rlony's.
G. A. D. Dyce was educated in the Military Orphanage at Calcutta, and was
8ent up by Ochterlony to be married to the daughter of Louis Balthazar Sombre,
■at the desire of the Begam. He of course found a post in her service, in
which he remained till his overbearing temper caused his dismissal in
1828. His mother was the grand-daughter of General Sombre, but not by the
Begam, who was no relation of his. David Dyce, as he was then, was brought
tip in the zenana, though he was also taught for a while by the English Chap-
lain at Meerut, Mr. Fisher. There is abundant evidence that in India he asso-
ciated with English people and English officers at their messes and houses :
but that his habits and his disposition were rather Oriental than European.
In 1834, as already stated (No. 45), he was adopted by the Begam Samru as
lier heir. He was made a Chevalier of the Order of Christ by Pope Gregory XVI
at her request. In 1838, two years after her death, he came to England ; Robert
Skinner wisely advised him not to do so ; Lord Combermere advised him to the
•contrary. He was singularly ill-fitted for European life and European society,
for he had Oriental ideas of society and the position of women, and was wilful
to a degree that amounted to eccentricity. He fell in love with the Hon.
Mary Jervis, a daughter of Lord St. Vincent, and married her in September 1840 :
it is said that his horror at the ordinary attentions paid tolier by other men drove
him to give up the intention for a time. He stood for Sudbury, and was returned
in 1841-2 : but he was unseated on a petition for bribery and corruption.
Shortly after a commission declared him to be of unsound min J and put him
under restraint. It is unnecessary to go at any length into the question whether
iie was or was not insane. There were found at least as many medical mea to
3
18 Christian Tombs and MoNtMENfs.
Icleny it as to affirm it. At the same time, though his extraordinary conduct wag
possibly explicable by his ignorance of European customs on the one side, and
by his Oriental habits and character, especially his Oriental jealousy, on the other,
it can hardly be considered surprising that a commission of English gentlemen^
knowing nothing of India and its customs, declared him insane on the evidence
before them. An instance of his ignorance of European customs was his
curious ideas about duelling. He challenged a D>rector of the Baat India Com-
pany over a law suit, and he wanted his wife to challenge another lady. When
asked whether, if the matter had come to a meeting, he would have expec od his
wife to fight, he naively explained that " he would have taken that on himself."
In 1843 he escaped from his keeper and went to Paris, Rome and other parts
of the Continent. In 18i9 he wrote and published in Paris a " Refutation of the
Charge of Lunacy" and in 1850 prepared a petition to the Houses of Parliament,
He died in London in 1851. He made a will the items of which need not be
dealt with, for though he made the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the
Court of Directors his executors, and these gentlemen fought the case in every
court up to the Queen in Council, the will was negatived, and the property passed
to his widow who subsequently married Lord Forester,
Dyce Sombre had two sisters, Qeorgiana, wife of Baron Solaroli, and Anna
Maria or Ann May, wife of Col. J. R. Troup. He had no legitimate children.
The landed estates were resumed by Government when the Begam died : but all
the . house, personal and funded property now belongs to Lady Forester or her
heirs.]

and were buried here, fcj And also of Ensign W. H. Na])ier, who Avas
wounded on the 31st May and died at Meerut on the 4th June 1857
fdj.
[This is a monument of Agra sandstone, fenced in by four iron stand posts
and a chain. The inscription is on all four faces, ending as at (^aj, (h), C^'J <^^^
(d) respectively, in the order west, south, east, north. The Meerut Brigade
under Brigadier Archdale Wilson, marched to join the Delhi force on the 27th
May. It consisted of : Carabineers— two squadrons ; 60th Rifles— a wing ;
20 CHRisriAN Tombs and Monitments.
Scott's light field and Tombs's horse batteries ; two 18 pounders ; some native
sappers and irregular horse. On the 30th they met the enemy at Ghaziuddin-
nagar (now Ghaziabad) on the Hindun, which was here crossed by an iron
bridge. There was a brisk cannonade, hut Tombs crossed the river and took
them in flank. The R.fles drove the enemy from the gun.^ : but Captain
Andrews and four men were blown up by an ammunition waggon. The enemy
woie repulsed but next day returned. On this second occasion it was chiefly
an artillery duel ; and the enemy were finally dr.ven back on Delhi by the Rifles.
Ensign Napier was wounded in the leg, which had to be amputated. " During
the operation no S'gn betrayed a sensation of pain. When it was finished,
there came from him the bitter cry ;' I shall never lead the Rifles again.'" He
died a few days laier. The Rifles lost on the two days, besides these two officers,
two non-commissioned officers killed and one wounded, ten rank and file killed
and nine wounded, including three men sun-struck. This official return does
not agree with the list on the tomb.
The 60th are of course the present King's Royal Rifle Corps. They were
raised as a regiment of four battaLons m 1755. By 1815 it had eight battalions,
reduced by 1819 to two. Two more were raised in 1855 and 1857 respectively.
The Indian honours of the corps are Punjab 1848 and 1849, Mooltan, Goojerat,
Delhi, Ahmad Khel, Kandahar 1880, Afghanistan 1878—30, Chi^ral. The batta-
lion at the Hindun and Delhi was the first. It also fought in Canada, winning
the motto " Celer et Avdax " at Quebec : in the W. Indies, the American
War, all the Peninsula operations (sixteen battles and three sieges), the
Kaffir War, the China War, the Red River expedition, the Afghan War of
1879-80, the Zulu and both Boer Wars, and the Egyptian and Soudan cam-

Frederic Wm. St. Aubin, Lieutenant Arthur Cuthbert Campbell,
who were killed during the assault in which the strong fortress of
Aligarh, defended by a numerous and well appointed Garrison, fell

September A. D. 1803. Also of Lieutenant and Adjutant William
Meulh, Lieutenant John Henry Hurd of H. M.'s 76th Regiment of

during the memorable victory afterwards gained over the army of
Dowlut Rao Scindia near Laswarry in Hindustan by the British
forces under the command of General Lake on the 1st November
A. D. 1803. This monument was erected by their brother officers.
[The monument stands here : there were formerly two mscriplious, one in
English, Urdu and Hindi, the other in English. The latter was renewed in 1892,
and put up in the Fort. Aligarh had been very strongly fortified by Perron : as
Lord Lake wrote, *' a 74 might sail in the ditch." But Perron was no longer the
man he had been, and was vacillating between Scindia and desertion. On the
approach of the English he left his troops to a compatriot Pedron, whom he
adjured to hold out in a characteristically vainglorious letter, and fled. Pedron
was no more inclined to fight than Perron ard was deposed by his troops for a
Kajput, Baji Rao. The fort was stormed by four companies of the 76th, two
battalions of the 4th N, I. and four companies of the 17th N. L A party from the
76th seeing some of the enemy smoking near the gate, attacked them in the hope
of being able to enter with them ; this failed, but the party of the enemy were
slain. At the firing of the morning gun, the stormers pushed up to the gate,
covered by the fire of two batteries. In spite of a hail of grape shot, ladders were
applied, though without success. A 12-pounder was brought up and for twenty
minutes there was some brisk fighting as the enemy came down by our own scal-
ing ladders to attack us. Col. Monson was wounded, four Grenadier officers and
the Adjutant, all of the 76th, and Lieut. Turton of the 4th N. I. were killed. The
12-pounder battered down the gate and the troops poured into the fort, up a narrow
circular lane under heavy fire to the second gate which was easily forced and so
to a third, where the British got through before it could be closed. They were
checked at a fourth gate ; but on getting through this resistance ceased. 223 men
were killed or wounded. All the five Officers were killed outside the first gate :
also Turton (vide No. 58). " Their country, their friends and their King will
receive consolation for their loss in reflecting upon the glory of their achievements,
and upon the public advantage of their illustrious example," were the words of
Wellesloy's general order. The battle of Laswari completely broke Perron's power.
It was fought against some seventeen of his battalions, with 72 guns and some
ALlGARrt. S3
four or five thousand cavalry. Lake came up with them after a forced night march
of twenty- five miles and attacked them with the cavalry at once, without wait-
ing for his infantry. Awful carnage on both sides was the result, without any de-
finiib result. At noon the infantry arrived and after some delay charged, with Lake
at their head, and seized the guns. " The enemy fought like devils or rather like
heroes '' wrote Lord Lake. The 7Glh headed the attack. " It would be a violation
of my feelings," runs Lake's despatch, "were I to close my despatch without
bearing testimony to the gallant conduct of Major Macleod . . . . of H. M.'s
7Gih Regiment, and of every officer and soldier of that inestimable corps." The
7Gth were with Lake at Aligarh, Delhi, Agra, Laswari, Dig, and Bhartpore. They
are now the 2nd Battalion The Duke of Wellington's (West Riding Regiment).
They were raised in 1787 and were in India from 1788 to 1803, 18J6 to 187G and
18'j7 to 1905, Their Indian honours are Hindostan, Seringapatam, Allyghur,

the barons did in England in the reign of Stephen. Those forts as a rule, though
attacked by Lake in person " were not carried without the loss of many lives

It was one of many similar fight in what was known as the " mud war,'^

in 1802 at Kanauj. He describes how wolves, jackals and tigers secluded them-
selves in the ruins of splendid edifices " which formerly resounded with the
voice of gladness." He then adds " On one of these hunting excursions a tiger of
large size was shot with a pi^^oZ by General Lake, just as the ferocious animal
was in the act of springing upon Major Nairn by whom it had been previously
speared." There were giants in the land in those days.]

(At Kanohi-Gaagiri, in tahsil Atrauli, is a monument erected to the ofiB.cer3
and men who were killed, fighting against the rebels in 1857. The monument is
situated in the ravines, on the left bank of the Nim Nadi.
Oraoroft Wilson's acoount of this affair is as follows : — Col. Farquhar with
some 600 men and two guns was operating in and from Bulandshahr. There
were five or six thousand rebels belonging to Fatehgarh at Sohawar, Patiali,
Qadirganj and Mohanpur. Kasganj was seized by them : and partly on Wilson's
representaions a column marched from Delhi to Aligarh under Col. Seaton. The
two columns then effected a junction at Gangiri, Colonel Farquhar arriving
first, and encamped in a strong position. Gangiri is on the right bank of the Nim
River, which is here crossed by an iron suspension bridge ; and he encamped on
the right bank, with his front protected by ravines and his rear resting on the
village. The rebels at Kasganj decided to attack him next morning (the 14th.)
But Col. Seaton meantime arrived and encamped on the left bank. In other
words the river and ravines were between the two camps and Col. Seaton was
nearer to Kasganj. The rebels arrived about 11 a.m., obviously unaware of Seaton's
arrival : there was a brisk cannonade, and then the enemy's cavalry showed
themselves in large numbers. Capt. Wardlow with his squadron was ordered
up in support, with two more guns. The squadron charged, took three guns and
routed the enemy, Capt. Wardlow then saw some rebels creeping away : he
charged them and was shot through the head. Lieutenant Vyse was killed in
charging the guns. Lieutenant (Wilson calls him Captain) Hodson was shot by
some rebels he was pursuing through arhar. It appears probable that the
charge was without orders. Wilson says that before leaving camp, some Dragoon
ofiS.cers were heard to mutter, "' We will see who take the guns to-day," — a refer-
ence to an incident at Narnaul. The charge would appear to have been a grave
mistake. The rebels naturally thought they were opposed to Col. Farquhar who
had no European cavalry, and by waiting, they might have been taken unawares
and far more damage inflicted. The infantry never came into action at all.
Three officers and six men were killed. " One noble looking Dragoon, stooping
over the bed on which Lieutenant Vyse was lying, raised the CDrpse towards him
and pressing it to him, said ' see Sir, he is but a boy,' while the tears trickled
down his sunburnt face." (Wilson), A similar incident of course occurred at
Lucknow, when Sir Henry Lawrence died. The 6th D. G.'s were raised at
Monmouth's Rebellion in 1655. They fought in Marlborough's campaigns, at
Sebastopol, Delhi, and in the Afghan and the last Boer war. The 9th (Queen's
Eoyal) Lancers were raised in 1715. They fought in the Peninsula and last
Boer War ; otherwise their active service has been entirely in India. Their
Indian honours are Punniar, Sobraon, Punjab, Chillianwalah, Goojerat, Delhi,
Lucknow, Charasiah, Kabul 1879, Kandahar 1880, and Afghanistan 1878 to 1880.]

AGR& DIVISION.
Agra DistrictM
Agra liad no history of importance before tlie time of Akbar. But
in tlie three centuries that have since elapsed, it has been the scene of
more history than many of its older rivals have been in all their lives.
The European history— and it dates nearly as far back as its Muham-
madan history — is as romantic as that of any city in the world. The
adventures of the Armenians, a nation that traces its descent to Haik,
the grandson of Japheth, an " European " nation which somehow got
left behind in Asia, and " European " in every but the purely geogra-
phical sense ; the history of John Philip Bourbon, a relative of Henry
lY of France; the Jesuit missions to Akbar, and the dallyings of that
prince and his successors with Christianity : the trade missions and
trade rivalries of English and Dutch : the tales of the military ad-
venturers— such are the byepaths of history that Agra offers for explora-
tion.
Agra naturally needs more detailed treatment than most districts.
For this reason, I have given preliminary notes dealing with some of the
main historical facts of which Agra's monuments are proof, and left
only personal details to the notes on the tombs themselves.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CEMETERY, LASHKABPUR,
A. — The Armenians. — The Armenians, it is said, had traded in
India as early as 780 A. D. Be that as it may, we find them already
established in Agra in the palmy days of the Mogul Empire. It is
said, for instance, that Akbar adopted the son of an Armenian merchant,
Jacob by name ; and attributed the birth of Jahangir in 1570 to their
having erected a Christian church. Terry (1615), a shrewd observer,
but distinctly biassed against everything that was not Anglican, said
that "there are many Armenians...amoDgst them the greatest part
of whose Christianity lies in their name. They made and sold wine,
tasted too much by those too that make it." In 1609 William
Hawkins arrived at Agra with letters to Jahangir from the King of
England. Jahangir, says Hawkins, offered him a wife. " The king
was very earnest with me to take a white maiden out of his palace
and he would promise me she would turn Christian. In regard
she was a Moore, I refused, but if so bee there could bee a Christian
found, I would accept it, at which my speech, I little thought a
Christian's daughter could be found." But Jahangir produced an
Armenian maiden, daughter of one Mubarak Shah ; " and I, havinge
passed my word to the king, could not withstand my fortunes," and so
he married her. (At a later date she married Captain Towerson who
was put to death at Amboyna in 1623 by the Dutch ; and she and her
husband returned to India in 1617, either to push her husband's fortunes
in India, or to recover her father's estate. He returned to England in
1619, but she remained with her relatives.) Jerome Xavier, again,
writing in 1598 from Lahore, mentions an Armenian who wanted to
marry his deceased wife's sister (or his niece — neptem — both versions are
given) J but in spite of an appeal by the Armenian ^o Akbar Xavier

managed to prevent the marriage. About 1604, some Armenians con-
spired with an English heretic (John Midnall) and some Portuguese
malcontents against the Jesuits and gave them a good deal of trouble.
References to Armenians in the letters of the English factors are frequent,
e.g., in 1619 Kerridge writes of a quarrel in which some Armenian
merchants were concerned, and asserted " that the custom of Turkee
ingagethe the consule or cheife to answer the defects of all other men
of their nation."
That the Armenians were not all the mock Christian wine bibbers
Terry calls them, some of these references, as well as several epitaphs
show clearly. The Armenian community was undoubtedly numerous
and wealthy.
(References : Seth ; Turchas ; Foster, " Letters " and ^'Factories " ; J.A.S.B.,
Vol. LXV ; Terry : Roe).
B. — The Jesuit Mission. — Christianity found its way to Agra at a
very early date. There are, or were, Persian documents in the Agra
Mission archives, to show that a Father Joseph bought 12 (or 72) bighas
of land in Lashkarpur for the use of a cemetery to be held free of rent.
This father was probably Joseph da Castro (see further on passim).
A lady named Mariam Pyari also granted two groves for the same
purpose. The present cemetery is on these 12 bighas. As early as
1576, Akbar's attention was drawn to Christianity : and missions
were sent to Agra from Goa at his request both in 1580 and 1590.
The third and most important left Goa in 1595, under Fathers Jerome
Xavier and Pinheiro, and Brother Benedict Goes. Akbar received
them kindly : they were allowed to build a church at Lahore in 1597.
Akbar allowed conversion, but would not himself be converted — " ve-
nerunt filii usque ad partum, sed virtus 7ion est pariendi ^' — as the
Fathers wrote. Still the Jesuits had several converts of high rank. In
1605 Akbar died, still unconverted. Jehangir was even more liberal
to the Jesuits than his father ; he allowed them to build church and
college at Agra, with free liberty to preach or convert as they pleased.
Within gton, an Englishman, writing in 1614 (he was a factor of the
E. I. Co. >, says, " The Jesuits have a very faire church, built by the king,
and a house. The king allows the chiefe 7 Rupias a day, and the
I'est 3, with license to convert as many as they can, which they doe, but
alas ! it is for money's sake." Terry says much the same ; and also tells
the history, how two of Akbar's brother's sons were baptized and then
expressed a desire for Christian wives. The fathers would not grant
them their request : whereupon " they delivered up their crucifixes
into their hands and so left them." But Terry is in error ; it was not
Akbar, but Jahangir who had allowed the conversion of his nephews,
the sons of his brother Danyal. Roe and Hawkins are divided as to
whether this was an act of policy — to discredit possible heirs to the throne
with the populace, — or due to a desire to have Portuguese ladies, the con-
verts' wives, to grace his own seraglio. Finch describes how the three
(not two) princes were conducted to the church to be christened, " by
all the Christians of the citie, some sixtie horse, Captaine Hawkins in
the head of them, with St. George's colours carried before him."
About 1621 was built the Jesuit college at Agra, founded and
liberally provided with funds by a rich Armenian, Mirza Zu'l Qarnin,
governor of Sambhar. He gave them lands at Bandra in Salsette and
at Parel in the Island of Bombay : the rents were applied to the college.

These places were chosen as in Portagnese territory and safe from
arbitrary exactions on the part of the Emperor.
Shah Jahan, a strict Muhammadan, treated the Christians with
considerable severity. It is however doubtfal whether his cruelties
were not prompted as much by political as religious considerations.
For this point, vide No. 77.
The Jesuits' influence lasted till 1759, when king Joseph of Portugal
expelled them from his dominions ; and those that were caught were
taken to Lisbon and thrown into prison. With Tieffen taller and F. X.
Wendel, the Order died out in Upper India. The results of their mission
have been belittled by many. Terry writes that their conversions were
mock-conversions : they worked " upon the necessity of some poor
men who for want of means are content to wear crucifixes." Withing-
ton says much the same, adding that the converts " brought them their
beads again saying they had been so long without their pay and would
be Christians no longer." But we also find them blamed for devoting
their attention too much to the court. But these criticisms must be
largely discounted. Terry and Within gton wrote as men born under
Elizabeth naturally would write : they are biassed critics. Jesuits,
always and everywhere, have made the best of missionaries. Picked
men of more than ordinary ability, education and self devotion as they
were, they could not have preached the gospel for two hundred years
without achieving better results than a little mock Christianity induced
by gain and if they devoted themselves rather to the upper than the
lower classes, they had no small measure of success, though they never
realized their dream — a Moghul Emperor who should be a Christian.
The imperial grants to them, the presence of Christians in the court
and seraglio, the very numbers of the Jesuits themselves, show that
they were regarded without disapproval, if not with actual favour. So
after two hundred years of vigorous and fruitful life passed away the
old Agra Jesuit mission, founded by a heathen Emperor, and exterminated
by a Christian king.
But though orders change, the church remains. As early as 1703,
the prefecture of Tibet and the " adjoining countries " was erected, and
entrusted to the Capuchin Fathers of the Marca D'Ancona province.
In 1823, the Tibet-Hindustan mission was born : the first Yicar Apostolic
was the Right Reverend Z. Benucci, 0. C. In 1886 Pope Leo XIII made
the Vicariate-Apobtolic a metropolitan see, of which the M. Reverend
M. A. Jacopi was the first archbishop.

C. — Other Europeans in Agra. — The inscriptions that follow
show that Agra from 1611 to 1800 was a cosmopolitan rendezvous. We
find there Europeans of all nations, English, Dutch, French, Portu-
guese, Italian, German, Flemish, even Swiss. Who were these people
and how did they get here ? The Jesuits, of course, account for a consi-
derable number of the inscriptions. Indian converts to Christianity
who took European names, (of whom many are mentioned by Manucci —
cf. for instance, no. 108 and the note tone. 114, — and the offspring
of mixed marriages account for others. And after 1760, the influx of
European military adventurers and the European flotsam and jetsam
that they collected as subordinate officers explain most cases. But
between 1611 and 1760, there are still many cases unexplained.
30 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
It is important to notice that the East about this time was over-
run by Europeans of all sorts. There were settlements of all nations,
especially English, French, Dutch and Portuguese, not only at Surat
and Goa, not only in India and the Spice islands, but in Persia, Arabia,
China and even Japan. We read of a diplomat accredited by Charles II
in exile to the Shah of Persia : he found traders of all nations there.
Jesuit priests are mentioned as reaching Agra from Tibet. There are
letters extant from English traders in Japan and China ; and the quar-
rels of English and Dutch in the Spice islands are history, and had far-
reaching consequences at home, as well as in the East.
These settlements were primarily trade settlements : but they ser-
ved as magnets for all sorts of persons interested in the East. Servants
artizans, tradesmen, sailors, soJdiers, physicians, priests, explorers
and diplomatists all congregated there on their way up country, and in
going up country naturally gravitated to Agra. For Agra was one of
the imperial towns in the Moghul dominions : if it was not the oriental
London, it was at all events the oriental Windsor. And so we hear that
Dara at the battle of Samugarh in 1658 had 200 European artillery-
men ; Mir Jumlah and Aurangzeb also employed such men as artizans ;
Veroneo the reputed designer of the Taj, Austin of Bordeaux, who
is responsible for some of the Agra Fort decorations, and Bronzoni
(no. 112), are instances. Of tradesmen there were many; for instance,
Bravet the Frenchman, who got 60,000 rupees from Jahangir for
some worthless French brie a brae. Of physicians, Manucci himself,
of more or less bona fide travellers, Tavernier, Bernier, Marucci the
Jesuit, Manrique, and Tieffentaller are examples ; of scientists one
may mention Boa, Strobl and Gabelsperger. Among English diploma-
tists alone there were Hawkins, Sir T. Roe, Lord Bellomont (sent by
Charles II to the Shah of Persia and the Moghul Emperor to enlist
their aid in his restoration) and Sir W. Norris. Earliest visitor of all
perhaps, and by no means the least notable, is Jean Philippe Bourbon
de Navarre, a scion of the French royal house. It is not therefore
strange, what with Jesuits, factors, soldiers and all this polyglot assem-
lage of visitors of all kinds, that the old Roman Catholic cemetery
is well-filled.
(References : Manucci ; Foster ; Hunter.)
D. — The Padre Santos chapel. — This building dates back at least to
1611. Tieffentaller writes of it as follows. " To its south (i.e of the
cemetery) is a high and spacious vaulted building with pointed floral de-
corations inside ; a sort of chapel where lie the sacred bones of the
fathers, which are venerated not only among Christians, but Mahome-
dans and Gentiles, especially those of the venerable father Marc Antoine
Santucci, an Italian, whose tomb they adorn with their offerings and
accomplish their vows fvota facta exsolvuntj because of the re-
nown of his pure and holy life." The name by which it is known
" Padre Santos " is possibly a corruption of Padre Santucci though
Father Symphorien (Agra Archaeological Society's Transactions, 1876,
page x) explains it as " Padre Santo " or holy father, and says it is so
called from the martyrs D' Anhaya and Garcia. The other explanation,
backed as it is by Tieffentaller, certainly seems more probable.
Originally it was probably the tomb of Mortenepus — whoever he was —
for his tomb is the oldest and most conspicuous tomb in the place. The
other epitaphs, save Santucci's, are on the flags of the pavement. I

E. — Other Roman Catholic cemeteries\in Agra. — Father Hosten,
S. J., on the authority of F. Felix, O.C., mentions three cemeteries at
Agra ; Lashkarpur cemetery, the graveyard of the old R. C. Cathedral
in Padre Tola, and a cemetery about a mile north of Lashkarpur. Mr.
Irvine in a note in his edition of Manucci, quoting the Agra Archaeo-
logical Society's Transactions, says the same thing. I was not able to
discover any statement to that effect in the Transactions (which will not
surprise any body who has seen them) ; but they mention the discovery
of some Portuguese inscriptions " on a low mound under a tree 60 paces
from the north wall of the enclosure of the tomb of Abul Ala and
about J of a mile from no. 4 milestone on the Poya Ghat Road".
This site appears to correspond to the site mentioned by Father
Hosten. The discovery was made by " A. C. " (whom I suppose to bo
Dr. Christison) in 1870 though the discovery was reported only in 1876.
The Lashkarpur cemetery is not more than half full even now
and is still in use. There seems no obvious reason why this other
cemetery should have been required. From such dates as we have, the
period when the third cemetery was in use appears to be roughly 1730
to 1770. And we find a distinct gap in the series of inscriptions of the
Lashkarpur cemetery proper between 1728 and 1771. I cannot of
course assert that there are no tombs of that period, for though I looked
at every tomb and took down every inscription which was at all legible
up to 1800, there are both illegible inscriptions and tombs with no ins-
criptions. Still this considerable gap is significant. Further, we know
that Father F. X. Wendel petitioned Shah Alam in 1775 that the ceme-
tery might be restored to the Jesuits ; which shows that by order or
force, it had previously been taken of them. The possible cause is said
by local Agra authorities to be the " absence of the Jesuits." (They
always had their headquarters there and there was always a Jesuit
Rector of the college ; but after the suppression of the Order, there
were very few, who had to travel far afield. There might well have
been times when there were no Jesuits in Agra ; and it would be
during such an absence that the cemetery was resumed.)
It is significant that in the Padre Santos' chapel, we find only six
inscriptions between 1706 (the year before Aurangzeb's death) and
1767. Of these five are Jesuits and one a Carmelite. Further, of these
BIX five died elsewhere, as their inscriptions record — at Delhi, Narwar,
Janegar ( Jainagar), Troyabad (which may be Faizabad) ; and the sixth,
(Strobl) died at either Jaipur or Jainagar. From 1633 to 1706 twenty
Jesuits died ; from 1706 to 1767 only six. It is obvious that the Jesuit
mission began to decline with the death of Aurangzeb. There is evi-
dence of this in the history of Tieff entailer's life ; but apart from that,
it is only what might be exj)ected. Agra, after Aurangzeb, was no lon-
ger the Moghul capital ; the Jesuits followed the court. It was, more-
over, between 1722 and 1773 a bone of contention to be fought for by
Moghul, Maratha and Jat. From 1722 to 1738 Jai Singh of Jaipur
held it for the Moghul; from 1758 to 1773 Maratha and Jat held it
against him. In such troublous times it is not surprising that the Jes-
uits left Agra. It is quite possible that some of these inscriptions are
merely commemorative and cover no grave though Father Hosten has
32 Christian tombs and monuments.
expressed to me an opposite opinion. Nothing is known of the persona
commemorated save Gabelsperger and Strobl. Furtlier, in 1759 the
Jesuits were expelled from the Portuguese dominions, in 1764 from
France, and in 1773 the Order was abolished altogether by Clement
XIY ; and so all recruitment from Goa was stopped.
From 1773 however we find the Moghul once more in possession
of Agra ; which doubtless explains Wendel's petition in 1775. And it
is to be noticed that between 1707 and 1775 we find only three inscrip-
tions in the cemetery. Two are Armenians, and one of them a " Cap-
tain " doubtless a military adventurer, the other is Madec's child who
died in 1771, when her father was in the Jat service and the Jats still
held Agra. It is not difficult to suppose that they allowed him to bury
his child where he pleased. From 1775 the series commences again.
It is not unlikely therefore that the cemetery was resumed by some
definite order of some governor of Agra, and if so, probably by Jai Singh.
But even if it was not, it is highly likely that it was not particularly
safe in the absence of the tolerant Moghuls, and the presence of Mara-
tha and Jat ruffians, for the deceased's relatives to confess Christianity
by burial in so obviously Christian a spot. And this may account for
the graves in the immediate vicinity of a Muhammadan cemetery, cer-
tainly the tomb of a famous Muhammadan saintly personage like Abul
Ala. It is quite possible that this spot was never consecrated at all ;
though in all probalDility its site had belonged to the Jesuits who owned
a good deal of land in and round Lashkarpur, for we find it resumed
by the British government in 1824. And though their " cemetery "
was probably disused before this date, it doubtless fell into neglect
then, until at last the tombs disappeared altogether, to be restored
to the light of day by Dr. Christian.

PADRE SANTOS' CHAPEL.
74.— .1611— MORTENEPUS. Inscription :—RevQ lies the Holy
Khoja Mortenepus who was a professed disciple of Jesus Christ and
who was a righteous m^n. Whatever he had he gave in charity to
the poor, in token of fidelity to his Divine Master in the year 1611
from the birth of Christ. (Translation from Armenian and Persian,
now scarcely legible.)
[Nothing is known of Mortenepus. I am informed by Mr. Ellis of the
India office that the name itself is no Armenian name ; and that possibly
"Martin epos," (abbreviation for episcopus or bishop) is correct, though if
"Martin" was a bishop, Khoja (which is a title of respect for merchants ss
Khwaja) must be wrong. As every other inscription in the chapel is that of a
cleric, the probability that this man was a priest is considerable. The transla-
tion, which is from the Persian, first appeared in the transactions of the Agra
Archaeological Society for 187d. With the help of the District Engineer of Agra
I have succeeded in getting a reading of the Persian inscription. It is as
follows : —

" Here lies Khwaja Mortenepus the holy Armenian who used to call (or

1633.
[In 1631-2, Shah Jahan besieged and took the Portuguese settlement at
Hugli, and sent some four thousand captives to Agra, where they were sold as
slaves. There is a story that four priests were torn in pieces by wild elephants.
It is related in the Bengal Catholic Herald for 1842, but there seems no authority
for it whatever. There is a further story to the cfiect that Father John da Cruz
was brought into the arena to undergo a similar fate, but the elephant refused
to attack him and on the contrary fawned on him : and that Shah Jahan, much
impressed, released the captives and sent them back to Bengal where they built
a town, Bandal, in 1633.
Everything goes to disprove this story. If the captives were sent back in
' 1C33, how came Garcia and D'Anhaya to be in prison in 1633 and 1634 ? Fur-
ther, as late as 1640, we find Manrique, S. J. with the assistance of Da Castro,
obtaining the liberation of Antonios da Cristo, prior of Hugli, from Asaf Khan in
Lahore ; so that a Hugli priest was in prison no less than 8 years after these
.events. The fact is simply that Shah.Jahun, though a strict Muhammadan and
no lover of Christianity, was moved to wrath rather by the aggressions of the
Portuguese than by the rel gion of the Jesuits or Augustmians who were prosely-
^tizing in Bengal ; and they suffered quite as much because they were Portuguese
■ as because they were Christians. Bernier indeed says that all through these
troubles the Jesuits at Agra were left unmolested in their Colleges. Bemier,
however, is probably exaggerating • one Jesuit (Fialho) was killed in 1633 " with
•sc mitars, in the Moghul Empire ;" and Da Castro is said to have been scourged,
bastmadoed, and otherwise maltreated At all events. Shah Jahan's wrath
cannot have lasted long — even if these cruelties to Fialho and Da Castro are to
be laid to his charge at all, — for obviously, a sycophant m power might well im-
agine that he would please the king by such rigours. For we find Manrique
honourably received in 1640 ; we find the Jesuits as numerous and as influential
as ever after 1034. Soon after that date, too, we find them with all their old
■privileges. The story of the soft hearted elephant is said to rest on certain
manuscripts; but one may take leave to doubt those manuscripts as Father
Hosten does.]

[Corsi was a Florentine born in 1575. He entered the Order in 1593 and in
1699 was sent from Portugal to India, where he lived ordinarily in the house
of the Great Moghul. He learnt to speak Persian, Urdu and Arabic, all well,
80 Jerome Xavier teUs us. The relations between Roe and Oorsi were very ami-
cable. Terry describes him as a man of a severe life, yet of a fair and an affable
disposition : "he lived at that Court as an Agent for the Portuguese," Corsi
suggested to Roe that they should disguise their religious differences, lest it should
be " a very main obstacle . . , unto his great design ... to convert people to Chris-
tianity." Roe states that he instructed Jahangir's brother's sons, and goes on to
tell the story about the Portuguese wives. He also tells a story of how Corsi's
house and church was burned and nothing but the crucifix saved — " which
underhand was given out for a miracle." Corsi however told Roe privately it
was no miracle, "insinuating that the Moores had caught up this opinion of
miracle without his consent." Jahangir however challenged Corsi to throw the
crucifix into the fire. Corsi refused, saying that •• God was not tyed to the call
of men . . . but offered to enter the fire himself for proofe of his faith," which the
king refused. He is mentioned on more than one occasion as mediating between
the English and the Portuguese It is clear that Roe had a great liking for
him, and used him as a friend : he constantly mentions services Corsi rendered
him, and Terry tells us Corsi used to visit him about once a week. Curiously
enough, so far as I have been able to discover. Roe only mentions his name once —
in a letter to the Lord Bishop of Canterbury ; everywhere else he refers to
him as " the Jesuite."]

[Nothing is known of this father save that he reached Agra in 1G02. One

83.— 1646— DA CASTRO, J., Padre. Inscription .•— Aqni iazo P.
loseph da Castro, faleceo aos 15 de Dezbro d' 1646.
[About this father the following facts are known : —
(1) There is a letter from him to Father Claude Aquaviva (dated Agra
1615) in the British Museum.
(2) In 1617 he went to arrange for the purchase of the Salsette and
Parol lands, for which Mirza ZuU Qarnin found the funda
(cf . note B.)
(3) In 1633, he was tortured, as a result of the Hugli persecutions (cf. No.
77.)
(4) In 1687, he was at Agra and reported Drake's death to the Engh^
factors at Surat (No 173.)
(5) In 1640, he was in Lahore and assisted Manrique, S. J., to obtain the
liberation of the Prior of Hugli (cf. No. 77.)
(6) Father Hosten asserts that he was the Father Yusuf, or Joseph men-
tioned by Fanthome as obtaining a firman from Akbar. (Query.
Was this the firman referring to the cemetery, mentioned in Note B,
ad init ? See note on page 39.)
(7) Mr. Irvine identifies him with Manucci's " Padre Atash."
The " Padre Atash '* tale is one of several variations of a story referring to
a suggested ordeal by fire to test the comparative value of Christianity and
Muhammadanism. Manucci's story is that a certain father offered a Qazi the
ordeal : both were to sit on a fire of straw with Bible and Quran respectively
in their^ hands. The Qazi refused, and Jahangir at once dubbed the priest
"Padre Atash." Bernier has another version, in which the Padre is already
known as "Padre Atash" from his fiery temper, and Jahangir suggests the
ordeal. Budaoni and Abul Fazl tell a similar tale of Aquaviva (in which
Jesuit and Qazi change roles) : and Roe has a similar story to tell of Corsi,
already related (No. 81.)
The claimants to the name are : —
(1) Manucci's Joseph da Costa, a Portuguese.
(2) Corsi (Roe).
Agra. 35
(3) A Florentine, (Bernier) and
(4) da Castro, (Irvine.)
Mr. Irvine quotes Marucci, S. J., who mentions a " J. da C. (so written in
Mr. Irvine's note), a Piedmontese, who died laft year aged 70 years, of which
35 were spent in the Indian Mission, His services were especially valuable after
the siege of Hugli." This book of Marucci's was written in 1C51, so that " last
year" means (in default of more definite evidence) a year preceding 1651,
Mr. Irvine identifies " J, da C," with Da Castro. His note is a little confused,
as in one place, quoting Keene, Mr, Irvine, says Da Castro died in Agra in 1646 ;
and in another, quoting this inscription, says Da Costa died in Lahore in 1046.
There can be no doubt of the identification : we know Da Castro was in Agra in
1615, so that no less that 31 years out of Marucci's 35 are accounted for ; and
there is no question that Da Castro did render valuable services after the sack of
Hugli. But the further identification of Da Castro with Manucci's Da Costa
is less plausible ; at all events there appears to be nothing whatever to support
it.
Bern er says Padre Atash was a Florentine and this remark probably points
to the truth. Manucci and Bernier, it must be remembered, were both reporting
the story as told them some thirty odd years after the events, and the
evidence of both is equally valuable or valueless. But when we find a very
similar story told by an eye-witness, namely Roe, of Corsi, who wat
a Florent.ne, it seems very probable that Manucci and Bernier are relating
somewhat garbled versions of the events related by the English ambassador,
but Bernier has got the right man. It may be objected that Rce says
nothing of the name "Padre Atash," which to some extent is the point
of the story as related by Manucci, But if Padre Atash was, as Bern er says, an
already existing nickname, one can quite understand that Roe would not think
it worth while mentioning. If, as Manucci says, it arose out of these events,
then Roe, who was no Persian scholar, may not have understood the imperial
Jest ; or if he did may not have thought it becoming to mention it in a letter
addressed lo the Archbishop of Canterbury. At all events it seems more Lkely
that we have here three versions of the same story than three (or even two)
different stories. One can hardly suppose that offering ordeals by fire to persons
who never by any chance accepted the ofier had grown into a positive habit at
Jahangir's court.
The Joseph da Costa (no, 92) who died in 1685 is clearly barred by dates.
He must have been a raw lad at the most in the re gn of Jahangir (lC05-16k7.)]

[Antonio Cesques. or Ceschi di Santa Croce, called Father Chesco by
Manucci, was born at Borgo (Val Sugana) in 1618, entered the novitiate at Ron.e
in 1633 and came to Goa m 1645. In 1648 he went to Lahore as confessor to
a Christian Governor called Mirza (query — Mirza Zul Qarnin ? cf. no. 82) and
came to Agra in 1651. He is mentioned by one authority (Fr. A. de Rhodes,
" Voyages and Missions " 1854) who met him in Surat on their way from Goa ;
" The two others were Fr. Anthony Ceski CsicJ a German, and Fr. Henry
Busce, a Fleming, both of them young men already in priest's orders, wirh
aptitudes for learning the languages of the country. The letters I received lately
in Rome (1651-2 ?) tell us of the great fruits which accompany the labours
of these . . . fathers." This would be in 1648 ; and as we shall see
later (No. 88) Busce also went to Agra in 1648. It is also mentioned that
Fr, Roth composed at Trent an eulogy of " Fr. Anthony Ceski, CsicJ died 1656,
whom he had known in the Missions."]

Of this inscription only the figures "6" and «« 7 " remain. Busi or Buis
was born at Nimeguen in 1613, entered the Society at Mechlin in 1632, taught
mathematics at Lisbon for four years and then went to India in 1647. (Mr.
Irvine contuses him with a kinsman Hendrik Uwens, following Hazart : but
Uwens went to China. The above facts are stated by F. Hosten.)
He was a mathematician and taught the subject in Libbon, which may
partly account for his selection as instructor to Dara. Dara was very fond of
him: "he hearkened of late very willingly" to him and began '* very well to
relish " what he suggested. When about to be executed by Aurangzeb, Dara
wished, but was not allowed, to see Buses, and died with the words on his hps
** Muhammad mara mi-kushad, Ibn TJllah mara jan mibaJcxhad.^* Buses is
described as a man of judgment and learning, hale and hearty, of a fine presence
and very polished. He was well known to Bernier and was one of his sources of
information. Wo are told that he once gave expression to the somewhat unchrist.
ian opinion that the only way to preach in India was with a well sharpened sword.
His death was the result of an extraordinary action on his part. The relapse
of a convert made him very ill. His age and feeble condition forbade bleeding
him and he himself opened his bowels and removed a part of his colon. It does
not sound like Buses and is quite possibly untrue.]

Heinrich Roa or Roth (born 1620) was a native of Dillingen (Hosten),
Dillingen or Augsburg (Irvine.) He came to the East via Smyrna and Ispahan,
whence he wrote a letter, dated 1651. He was first sent to Salsette, and thence
as rector to the college at Agra. Bernier knew him there, and obtained much
information concerning relgious and philosophic beliefs of India from him. He
is said to have been a Sanskrit scholar and have written a work on Sanskrit
grammar — " JExactissimum opus totius grammaUcae JBrahmanicae cujns et
rudimenta is primus Europae commnnicavit/^ He also wrote an account of
the Christian community at Kabul, which he visited on an overland journey to
Europe in 1662 to ask for a new batch of missionaries at Rome. We have
already found him pronouncing an eulogy on F. Cesques in 1664. He returned
to Agra in that year. Mr. Irvine tells me that Roth's Eelatio is in the
Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris: whilst in the British Museum, in Kircher'a

I. — Further note on tJie Inscriptions in the Padre Santos Chapel. —
I endeavoured to decipher these on three occasions — in March 1909, in March 1910
and July 1910. On the last occasion I had the advantages of three previous
readings of varying dates — one by Colonel A. S. Allan (published in the Bengal
Catholic Herald of September 1849), ono by A. C. (Dr Christison, — published in
the Transactions of the Agra Archaeological Society of 1876), and a third by
Father Felix, 0. C. (published in the Archdiocesan Calendar, 1907.) For these I
am indebted to the kindness of Fr. Hosten, S. J., St. Xavior's College, Calcutta.
The readings g.ven above are my own and except in minor points correspond
with those of A. C. (Such minor points are that I read e.ff. clerigo where
he read clerico.) Blanks now illegible I have filled up from these earlier
readings.
F. Felix's list was, I understand, compared with an old manuscript in the
archives cf the mission. The result is many glosses of some commentator,
which though of value in themselves should not be and never could have been,
in the inscriptions — for the sufficent reason that there is no room for them.
Several inscriptions (placed in square brackets) are put in Ihe list on the
authority of F. Felix : they have now disappeared altogether, whilst one at all
events was never m ihe place to which his plan assigns it because there is no
room — though it may have been somewhere else. This is no. 98 ; that of the
Carmelite monk. All the Armenian inscriptions (save that of Khwaja Morten-
epus) were on the walls and are now hidden behind a veil of whitewash from
which I hope that some day they will be rescued.
I give below a fev/ notes which may serve to show where I have ventured to
diverge from former readings in important points. I do not give small details of
spelling.
Da Fonseca (no. 80>. — Allan reads "Fonsea," Felix •' Foseca ", A. C.
•' Fonseqa." The QJa. letter of Fonseca might be anything, but "c" seems
most probable.

Allan read the last line de Agosto de 1689 ; A. C. notes that it is illegible. The
proposed restoration in the note on the tomb is from Felix, omitting the gloss

••Marco." Felix reads (with two glosses) "Aqui iazo P. Andre \aliter

Xavier {no. 103). — The place of death is in italics and very difficult to
read. It looks more like " Toyubad " than anything else. Allan omits it, A, 0.
reads it " Toyebed." Felix " Foyabad."
Derville {no. 86). — Allan and A. C. read Derville as I do. But the name
was really Dorville or D'orville, which Felix reads.
Buses {no. 88). — Allan read " Aqui iazo Pe ueeo faleceo aos
6 d'Abril de 1667 " A. C. calls the inscription illegible. F. Hosten conjectures,
from Allan, «'Pe Henrique Buseo ", Felix reads (with two glosses) "Aqui iazo
P, Henrique Buses faleceo [em DellyJ aos a de Abril 1667 [coloniensis Germ-
Agra. 39
ensis]." I have adopted P. Hosten's reading ; all that is now left is the 6 and
the?.
Da Costa (no. 92). — Allan read ♦• Aqui iazo Padre Joseph da Costa da

A. C. read "— ui iaso Padre fh da Costa mpa de lesu

Felix reads as Allan, with the exception '-faleceo em Delly " for "morto
em Deli."
Putting all these together, I think there can be no doubt that the true
reading is •• (Aqui) iaso Padre (Josep)h da Costa (da co)mpa. de Jesu (morr)eo
em Deh (aos 21) de Mar.co) de 1685."
22. De Paiva {no. 96). — A mess has been made of this inscription though
it is absolutely clear.
Allan's reading was right save that he made " Pexaop " instead of
"Pexaor."
A. C. read as Allan, down to " 1706"; when he goes on " Efoise Puefado aos
10 de Fevro da mesma hera." He, Father Symphorien, and Fiibrer following
them, both make a fresh person of "Efoise Puefado" or "Puefada"; an error
even F. Felix follows. The inscription means merely * F. Joseph da Costa died
in Pexaor on 7th January 1706, and was buried on 10th February of the same
year.'' F. Felix inserts a gloss after •• Fevro " which betrays the hand of the
scholiast, and shows that this view is correct. It reads " mores a anno de 1706'*
(mores = moreo or morreo) — ' died in the year 1706."
De Magalhaes (no. 95). — De Mages is on F. Hosten's authority an abbrevi-
ation for " De Magalhaes;" "que morreo" is simply " who died." A. C. gets
the inscription correctly, but Allan turns the name into De Magesque and
Felix into " de Magathenesque ;" or into " De Magalhenes," in another place.
Besides these readings there are lists of the names, only more or less correct
and complete, given by Felix (1906), Symphorien (Agra Arch. Soo. Trans.) and
Panthome.
II.— The alleged firman of AJchar (page 34).— Father Hosten's kindness
has put at my disposal the following extract from an unpublished letter of Da
Castro's dated 1637 to the General of the Society at Rome. After detailing how
the Jesuits had been expelled from their college and church he says " on the
day of the Immaculate Conception (8 December 1636 (?)) I, having made many
requests through the King's father-in-law (Asaf Khan\ our ancient friend and
the ancient protector of all the Christians, we were on the above-said day granted
by the King not only the favour of returning to our college but also the permis-
sion of asking whatever requests we might make, to wit, leave to administer
freely the Sacraments, to bury our dead after our own manner in the cemetery
given us by his father and confirmed to us by him." He also mentions the
destruction of the Churches at Lahore and Agra.
This seems to point to a necessary reconstruction of the history of this
cemetery.
It dates back certainly to 1611, the year in which Mortenepus died ; but it
is improbable that it is much older. The firman alleged to be Akbar's states
that one Padre Joseph was to possess certain lands he had bought, free of rent,
and to use it for a cemetery. It cannot be Akbar's as it is dated 1035 A. H. or
1624 A. D., in Jahangir's reign. Yet we know Jesuits owned the cemetery &&
early as 1614 for they buried MildenhaU there in that year. Doubtless the land
was bought betwecL 1605 and 1611 by Padre Joseph, and made rent free by
Jahangir m 1624, which explains both gift and confirmation mentioned in the
letter quoted. That Padre Joseph is Da Castro is almost certain, for no othei

[It is known that John MildenhaU {aliter Midnall) died in AJmer 1614. It
is further known that he was a Roman Catholic, and that he was buried in Agra,
There is no other Englishman of a name which could possibly become " de Men-
denal " in a Portuguese inscription who is known to have been in India at the
time. Furthermore, there was at the time no other place of sepulchre in Agra

save this cemetery. It seems therefore certain that this tomb is the resting
place of John Mildenhall : this is the opinion of Mr. Foster, of the India office, a,
well-known authority on this period. The tomb therefore is an important
and interesting lomb, as it is the oldest English tomb in the province, or in all
probability in India.
John Midnall (to spell his name in the way Mr. Foster considers most pro-
bably correct) has no small fame of his own : but he has, in addition, gained an
entirely spurious fame as Queen Elizabeth's " ambassador " to the Great Moghul.
The story has passed unquestioned through the pages of various historians, till
it culminated in a certain well-known London periodical, which not only dubbed
him "ambassador," but gave him a knighthood, and published a fancy picture
of " Sir John Mildenhall '* being received, with a large suite, by the Emperor
(who, as an article in the "Gentleman's Magazne " points out, is represented
some twenty years too old and several shades too dark.) As a matter of fact,
Midnall was an ordinary, in some respects a very ordinary, London merchant :
the famous " letter " sent by Elizabeth through him, was nothing more nor less
than a " letter commendatory," such as any traveller could obtain, a mere pass-
port, such as at a later date are mentioned as sent out by the company in bat-
ches to their servants, with blanks for the names. It is true that Midnall chose
to represent himself as an ambassador, and to play the game for all it was
worth : but that was merely the man's characteristic impudence.
Our knowledge of Midnall is derived chiefly from two letters of his own
which are printed in •' Purchas's Pilgrimes," stnd scattered references in Pur-
chas' works and the letters of the servants of the East Indian Company. Of his
early years we know little. On the 12th February 1699, he started on his fa-
mous voyage to the East Indies. He arrived in Constantinople in October and
stayed " about his merchandize " till May If 00. This long stay is an incidental
proof that he was no ambassador, or he would have gone direct to Agra. Thence
he travelled via Aleppo, Julfa, Tabriz, Kazvm, through Yezd and Seistan to Kan-
dahar, and finally reached Lahore in 1603. He requested permission from Akbar
to present himself at court and " treat of such business as I have to do with him,
from my Prince." Admitted to Akbar 's presence, he demanded, in Elizabeth's
name, permission to trade, and also to attack the ships and settlements of the
Portuguese, as being enemies of England, and to keep Ihem if taken. Akbar
consulted the Jesuit fathers present at the time, one of whom was probably Jerome
Xavier. They naturally opposed him, and told Akbar the English were thieves
and Midnall a spy, who meditated designs on the Emperor's ports. The Jesuits
were in high repute, and Midnall's requests were politely ignored, but in the end
he obtained, or at all events says he obtained, " far mans " for all his demands
gave that of permission to attack the Porluguese. Playing his part of ambassa-
dor to the last, he insisted even on this, and at last was given the perfectly use-
less concession ; and so he returned home, to try and sell his concessions and his
own services to the East India Company for " £1,5C0 in hand." They refused to
buy: and in 1609 he petitioned James I for permission to use his privileges and
trade on his own account. The company, dismayed by this action, had thoughts
for a while of employing him, but ultimately decided not to do so.
Midnall disappears till 1614, and we then find him on a second and much more
discreditable voyage to the East, wh'ch commenced, it would seem, in 11*11. He
absconded to Persia with goods which had been entrusted to him to sell in the
Levant. Two English merchants, Newman and Steel, pursued him and com-
pelled him to restore the value of the goods ; then he and Steel came on to India,
and Midnall fell ill at Lahore. Purchas hints that he had intended to poison
three fellow-adventurers so as to obtain possession of the whole of their joint
property and drank of the poison himself by mistake, but the story has no con-
firmation. There were many natural ways of death available to one who had
ventured across Persia to India thrice. iHe got as far as Ajmer and there died ;
..he was, as a Papist, buried in Agra by the Jesuits. He left his property to two
^natural children of his in Persia, and made a Frenchman, Augustine by name,
'(whom Mr. Foster is inclined to identify with the famous Austin of Bordeaux)
their executor. Kerridge attempted to get possession of his property on behalf of
the company, and ultimately succeeded in obtaining £600 which he sent home, in
Bpite of the opposition of the results. It is from Kerridge that we obtain definite
confirmation of the fact that Midnall was buried in Agra. He writes (Factory
Eecords, Surat volume 84, part I, page 131) that out of his estate rupees 250 were
given to servants and for the *' carrying of Midnall's corpse and interring ftt Agra."

[Considering that the tojnb of this famous old worthy is close to Hessing's
tomb right in the i^athway of people going to the Padre Santos chapel, and that
archaeologists have been at work on that chapel ofi and on ever since 1875, it is
more than a little surprising that, so far as I can discover, no previous mention
of the grave has been made. It is possible that such an announcement lurks in
the back numbers of some learned society's journal ; but certainly it does not
appear to be generally known. Mr. Havell, for instance, in his criticism of the
Taj and its designers in the June number of the ''Nineteenth century "for
1903, makes no mention of it, (I have since learnt that this tomb was first dis-
covered in 1905 by Mr. F, 0, Oertel and Mr, A, G. P. Pullan, C.S.)
There is little that is known about Veroneo, though he ha*, acquired a possibly
spurious fame as the Taj's designer, 1 summarize below what is known of
him. There is first, Manrique's famous statement, a bone of contention
among antiquarians, that connects him with that famous bnilding, " El archi-
t«cto destas fabricas," he writes, *' fue un Veneciano por nombre Geronimo
Veroneo que passo a aqnellas partes en las naves de Portugal y murio en la
. ciudad de Laor poco tiemps antes de ma llegada." " (The architect [or designer]
of these buildings [i, e., the Taj] was a Venetian, by name Geronimo Veroneo,
who came to these parts in the Portuguese ships and died in the city of Lahore
a short time before my arrival." ) Manrique reached Agra on December 14-24, 1G40.
In 1637 we find him reporting Drake's death (no. 191) to the Surat factors ;
he is there described as a Venetian jeweller and Manucci states that some of the
Portuguese .captured at Hugli (1632) were released " through the money paid by
a Venetian my compatriot, called Hieronomo Veroneo, a man ransomed by tha
Portuguese." (What the last few words mean is very dubious.) And save tha
other details given by Manrique about his connection with the Taj— how tha
Padshah told him to build a grandiose monument to his dead consort, and how
he produced various designs which were rejected as costing too little, and he
was told to spend three krores — this is absolutely all that is known of him
though we also, know that the ubiquitous Father Da Castro was his executor, and
told this story to Manrique (c/. no, 83), This is not the place to discuss the
much debated question of the origin of the Taj. The curious can see the one side

presented by Havell in the "19th Century" of June 1903, and the other by
F. Hosten in J. A. S. B. Vol. VI, 1910.
Veroneo, in one way, is in a similar case to Mildenhall. Both have won
fame for actions which it is dubious whether they ever really did. But the old
English rascal was himself the cause of his ill founded celebrity, the worthy
Venet an owes it to a writer whom he never even saw. On one point, I may how-
ever venture on a protest. Mr. Havell says, " Ho (Veroneo) returned to Lahore
and poured the garbled account of his doings (with Shah Jahan) into the too
credulous ears of Father Da Castro, who retailed it as history to his fellow priest."
I venture to suggest that this statement is a trifle hard on Veroneo and Da
Castro. Between 1631 (when the Taj was apparently commenced), and 16il
when Manriquc came to Lahore, Da Castro would certainly have found out that
Veroneo had nothing to do with the Taj, if indeed this was so. It would have
been a futile and inefiective lie of Veroneo' s which could not escape being found
out. And a very strong point in favour of Veroneo's having designed the Taj
is that the ultimate authority for the statement is Da Castro — one of the noblest
missionaries even the JesUits have ever produced. He was not the man to back ,
a lie, which would have in any case no point save being " ad majorem gloriam "
of Europeans ; for Manrique came through Agra and must have known the
truth himself.

large diamond presented Ijy Mir Jumlah to Shah Jahan, which stone is held by
Ball to bo the Koh-i-nur. Tavernier calls him Hortensio Borgio, and in telling this
story adds that he cut the stone very badly. He is again mentioned as making
a model ship of war for Aurangzeb who had been annoyed by the depredations of
some Portuguese pirates, and was anxious to create a navy. It was set afloat in
a tank and manoeuvred by some European artillerymen ; and the sight convinced
the Emperor that a navy was beyond his powers. Bronzoni's wife was a Hindu
(or negro) slave, doubtless a convert, named Suzana Borges. She was a widow^
with a son Nicolao Borges, who married the daughter of one Francisco da Souza.
Manucci tells a curious story of her use of magic to discover how long this girl
had to live. It is possible that Francisca Borges (no. 108) is this girl, or a
relative. The date of no. 108 is uncertain ; 1 made 1624 of it, but another
officer read it 1654. The latter date would agree with this supposition.
Manucci does not actually say so, but it is not probable that the girl lived
particularly long in the circumstances.]

the British, and served in their army, but deserted from that too and raised a
body of troops, both French and sepoys ; and from 17G5 to 1777 he lived as
«' a guerilla leader," — which in the circumstances could only have been a polite
term for a highway robber. He served also under various princes, but always
under the French flag : amongst these were the Nawab of Oudh, Shuja-ud-daula,
till his defeat at Buxar : and then the Jats. He left their serv ce in 1772 and it was
doubtless during his service with them that this child of his died. In 1772 he
joined the Moghul Emperor, and after many valuable services was made a Nawab.
After his defeat by the Jats and Maratbas he went back to Pondicherry and
helped his countrymen agaiust the English. In 1778 he returned to France
where he died in 1784. He is confused both by Compton and Malleson with
Madoc or Medoc, another adventurer of a much lower type.]

[ " So much only is certain, that he was a Gperman." So says Father Noti in
his book " Das Furstentum Sardhana.*^ The generally accepted version of Walter
Reinhardt's parentage is that he was " a sort of German, " as Keene puts it,
the son of a Saltsburg or Strasburg butcher^ Poller (quoted by Noti from the
Asiatic Annual Reffisfer of 1800),. who knew Reinhardt, says he was a carpenter
born in Strasburg and that his name was Balthasar, Others (Colonel Skinner
lor instance) say he was born in 1720 in Luxembourg, The Calendar and
Directory of the Agra Archdiocese has two other, in some respects, contradctory
accounts. From the burial register that is, or used to be, in the archives^ it
appears,, on the strength of a birth certificate, that his name was Joseph Joachim
Reinhardt, born at Piel in Tyrol on the 19th March 1732. And in the same
archives, there used to be a curious old MS,, undated and unsigned,
which stated that his name was Joannes Reiner, born at La Rochelle in
Luxembourg in August 1707, the eldest son of Martin Buzerin Reiner and his
wife Catherine Rosport, who were immigrants from Tyrol. I understand froro
Mr. Irvine that Father Noti is now of opinion that Reinhardt "^s father came
from Tyrol to Luxembourg, that the name was originally Reiner, and that
descendants of his relations still live in a village near La Roehelle or Fels, and
that one of them is constantly hoping to receive millions from the Indian
Government, This MS, looks like very interesting confirmation of Father
Noti's view. None the less^ in itself, it is- so full of extraordinary state-
ments, some improbable,, some practically impossible, that it can hardly h&
held to prove it. It asserts for instance that Reinhardt went to India in 1744 ;
that a nephew of his (born in 1752) came out to him in 1772, could not find
him, and was never heard of again till 185T, when the family of General Sombre
found him by advertisement. He was then in flourishing circumstances.
Lastly, in May 1840, Dyce Sombre is said to have been hunting for his ancestor's
relatives in Treves. Now in 1772 Sombre's name was a byeword in India, and
it is indeed curious that his nephew could not find him. In 1857 this man
was 105 ; he had been lost for 85 years : and he suddenly emerges from the
mists, a centenarian in flourishing circumstances— " enjoying success ", as the
MS. puts it, at an age when he might have been expected to be past enjoying
anything. Further, in 1857 Greneral Sombre's. family consisted of two ladies,
Baroness Solaroli and Mrs. Troup, both of whom appear to have been in Europe,
and who had probably never heard of their long-lost relative. As for Dyce
Sombre, he was undoubtedly in Brussels in October 1840 but on his wedding
tour (he was married in the previous September). But this only makes it the
more unlikely that he was in Treves in the preceding May. This MS.
may be of value, taken with other evidence, to assist in the proof of Reinhardt's
Tyrolese origin : but by itself, it looks only like a rather crude attempt ta
trace a connection with the extremely wealthy Sombre family.
To pass on to less disputed facts, Reinhardt came out to India in the
French service, either as a sailor, or as a soldier in a French regiment.
The date of this is uncertain, it may have been as early as 1746, or as
late as 1750. Whether he was or was not a soldier in the first place, he
soon became one — probably under Labourdonnais and Dupleix. Subsequently
be deserted to the British, and became a soldier in a corps of Swiss mercenaries
in the employ of the Company. The date of this is also uncertain : but it
may well have been, as Keene says, after the defeat of the French, which
led up to the peace of 1754. He served with them for a time — probably
not a long time, though different tales put it as low as 18 days (Compton) and
as high as 2 yeiirs (Keene). He then deserted to Law at Chandarnagore, rose to
be a sergeant, and in 1757 when Chandarnagore was taken wandered about
Bengal, taking service first with Suraj-ud-daula, then with a rebel faujdar at
Purnea, and lastly with Kasim Ali Khan's Armenian General, Gregory. Here
he rose to command a battalion. In 1763 he stamped his name with infamy by
the mujder of the British residents of Pataa whom Kasim Ali had taken
prisoner. When the British advanced he fled to the Nawab Wazir of Oudh^
Shuja-ud-daula. He was given a strong force — 4 battalions of infantry
one of cavalry and a force of artillery. After the battle of Buxar, his*
surrender was demanded by the British as a condition of peace. The Nawab
leplied that arresting a general at the head of his troops was easie*
Agra. ' 45
said than done ; but he offered to assassinate him in the presence of duly
accredited representatives ! The offer was declined and Reinhardt clinched
the matter by robbing tlie Nawabs' Begams, and his late master, Kasim Ali, and
marching to Rohilkhand. There he took service with Hafiz Rahmat Khan, and
later with the Jat Raja of Bharatpur. Him he deserted in 1775, when Mirza
Najaf Khan, Wazir of Shah Alam, defeated him in battle, and passed over to
the victor, who gave him a rich estate round Sardhana, and Rs. 65,000 per
mensem for his services. This estate he retained till his death in 1778.
Many hard things have been written of Sombre. He was illiterate, cruel,
avaricious and unscrupulous : he had little personal courage and no military
skill. He had some low cunning : almost his only virtue was that he despised
ostentation. His troops, seldom paid, were generally in a state of mutiny, and
adopted, if the stories told are true, somewhat high handed measures to obtain
their money, e.g., sitting Reinhardt astride a gun that was burning hot in the
sun. His officers were the dregs of European society. His troops never lost
a gun, or gained one : but were " remarkable for judic;ous retreats." It is not
certain how he got the name of " Sombre." One statement is that it was due to
his complexion ; another that he enlisted in the British service as " Summers "
or " Somers " or " Sommer " wh ch was first softened by Indian tongues into
" Samru " and then dignified into Sombre. Whatever its origin, no nickname
was ever more happily given.
He married a Muhammadan woman, name apparently unknown, by whom
he had a son Louis, or Aloysius, Balthazar Reynaud or Reinhardt (vide no. 41).
At Sardhana he married the famous Begam Samru (vide no. 46).

[General Perron, born Pierre Cuillier (1755-1834) was a famous military
adventurer. He went out to India in 1780, deserted — the preliminary step of
most French adventurers, — and entered the service of the Eana of Gohud about
1781. In 1790 he joined De Boigne. He fought at Patau and Merta, won the
battle of Kurdla against the Nizam and lost a hand at the siege of Kanaund.
In 1796 he succeeded De Boigne and subdued Rajputana and George Thomas.
He was looked on, rightly or wrongly, as an instigator of Bonaparte's designs on
India, and the war of 18t'3 was as much directed to crush ng his very great
military power as to crushing Sindhia. After the capture of Al garh, he was
superseded and surrendered to Lake. Hs retired to France in 1805. Perron's
first wife was a Mile. Derridon, and these are probably her children though it is
quite as likely that they were the offspring of a less reputable union. When
he returned to Europe he had two children by an Indian mother with him, who
spoke no French. One of them, a girl, married M. Alfred de Montesquieu.
Perron settled down near Vendome and married a Mile, du Troohet, by whom he
had a large family. For the Derridons see no. 250.]

5 days. As tribute of their affection and regard this monument is
erected to his beloved memory by his disconsolate widow, Anne
Hessing, and afflicted sons and daughters, George William Hessing,
Thomas William Hessing and Magdalene Sutherland. He was
a native of Utrecht in Holland and came out to Ceylon in the
Agra. 47
Military service of the Dutcli E. I. Company in fhe year 1752,
and was present at the taking of Candia by their troops. Five
years afterwards he returned to Holland and came out again to
India in the year 1733, and served under the Nizam of the Deccan.
In the year 1784, he entered into the service of Madho Rao Sindhia
and was engaged in the several battles that led to the aggi'andizement
of that Chief and wherein he signalized himself so by his bravery
as to gain the esteem and approbation of his employer, more
particularly at the battle of Bhondagaon near Agra in the year
1787, which took place between this Chief and Nawab Ismael Beg,
when he then became a Captain, and was severely wounded. On
the death of Madho Rao Sindhia in 1793, he continued under his
successor, Daulat Rao Sindhia, and in 1798 he attained to the rank
of Colonel and immediately after to the command of the Fort and
City of Agra, which he held to his death.
[There is little to be added to the history given in the epitaph. He was
born in 1740. There is no record of h s adventures between 1763 and 1784. He
served in De Boigne's brigades of regular troops. The "several battles" are
Lalsot, Chaksana and Patan. After Patan, he quarrelled with De Boigne and
left him but Madhoji Scindia employed him to raise a bodyguard for him. which
grew to 4 battalions. In 1800 he was compelkd to resign his command by ill-
health and retired as commandant of Agra to that city. He is described as a
" good, benevolent man and a brave soldier. " His tomb is a miniature of the
Taj in red Agra sandstone.]

Thomas, he returned to Aligarh and was there when the British took it in

[The De Silva family, as I am informed by Mr. J. F. Fanthome, who knew
many of the later members of it personally, are of good Portuguese descent, as
the use of the prefix " Don " in this inscription testifies. Their ancestor, also
a Don Jose, came up country from Goa at an early date and settled down in
Jaipur. This Don Jos6 was, hke many of his descendants, a physician. He had
two sons of whom one stayed at Jaipur : the younger Don Ellis or Ellice (no.
160) settled down as a physician in Bhartpur. Of his three sons two migrated
to Bhopal : one succeeded to his father's practice at Bhartpur, Augustin (no.
166). His only son was Joseph Augustin (no. 173), a man of a very strong
personality, and a doctor of considerable merit, charitable to a fault in the exer-
cise of his profession ; a ripe Persian scholar, and the author of a monumental
work (as yet, I believe, unpublished) in which he compares the Misrani or Vaid,
Agba. 49
Greek or Yunani, and European methods of medicine. He died childless : and
so ends a most interesting link between West and East — one of the many that
exist, all but unknown, in such old world places as Agra, where from early daya
Anglo-Indians most did congregate.]

[This tomb and the next two appear to be those of descendants of John Philip
Bourbon of Navarre. No. 162 is ihat of Simi Bibi Anna, daughter of Inayat
Masih, wife of Pedro Bourbon. No. 163 is that of Pedro Bourbon aliat
Imdad Masih, son of captain Khairat Masih. Pedro Bourbon died at Bhopal.
The history of the Indian Bourbons is extremely curious. John Philip
Bourbon was a relative of Henry IV of France, who slew a relative of rank in a
duel, and fled to the East. He landed "■ at Madras'' where one of his com-
panions, a priest, remained. Bourbon sailed on to Bengal and so up country to
Delhi, where Akbar give him a post at Court, and married him to Lady Juliana,
sister of the Emperor's Christian wife, a lady doc; or m charge of the health of
the seragLo ; he h.mself was put in charge of the women's apartments, a post
which his family held till the sack of Delhi by Nadir Shah in 17a7.
In that 3 ear Francis, great great grandson of John Philip, was head of the
family. He collec'ed all the members of the family in Sirghur Fort, in the
si ate of Narwar-tome 800 souls In 1778 however the Narwar Raja massacred all
the family ; only Salvador, great grandson of this Francis, with his mother ^nd a
few children escaped. Among these was Pedro, his cousin, great great grandson
of the said Francis. Salvador and Pedro took service in Bhopal, where his
descendants still live. He and other members of his family served that state
with great effic ency and they possess a considerable estate there.
Kincaid [Asiatic Quarterly Review) gives a genealogy of the family. But he
admits that his materials were scanty, and his tree is probably incomplete.
Pedro may or may not be the Pedro above mentioned ; it is not impossible, but
there is nothing to show it one way or another. The fact that there is an Indian
as well as an European name has many parallels in the genealogy. Anthonia
Bourbon, no. 155, is even more d.fficult to fit into the pedgree than Pedro
Bourbon. If it be complete, the only place that seems to fit her in Mrs. Salvador
Bourbon, in which case she was a Miss Thome.
Kincaid admits that his very interesting article is based on scanty materials.
As a matter of fact, it raises some very difficult points. The words " at Madras "
are italicized above because there was no "Madras" to land at till long after
156>' ; if it is not an error, it must mean merely the '* neighbourhood of the present
Madras." But more important still is the question of Akbar's Chr stian wife,
whose sister Juliana John Philip married. 0. A. Kincaid, in " Talts of th»
Tulsi Plant'* refers to a Portuguese work called "Una dona Portugueza na
corte do grande Mogal ", by Ismael Gracias. He states that in the time of King
John III there was at Lisbon a home for orphan girls who were shipped out
to the colonies to make wives for the officials and settlers. Such an one was
Maria Mascarenhas, who with her sister Juliana were captured by the Dutch,
and sold at Surat. She became one of Akbar's Queens. It was this lady who
is the Maria Makany whose room is shown at Fatehpur Sikri and it was her
sister who married John Philip Bourbon.
This tale appears at variance with several facts. We are told that when the
Moghul army attacked the Portuguese in Bassein and Damaun in 1581, they
were repelled, but " the repulse would have been followed by an attack lu
force had the Emperor not been stopped by the powers or tears
of a Lusitanian lady." In other words, Maria Mascarenhas was married to
Akbar before 1581. Yet the Dutch E. I. Go. was not even founded till 1594,
50 Chei8TU!< Tombs and Mokuments.
BO it is difficult to see how the Dutch sold her at Surat for a slave. Apart from
this, the Jesuits never mention a Christian wife, which they would certainly
have done if one existed. Moreover, Jerome Xavier was a Navarrois as Bourbon
was : and he could hardly have failed to mention circumstances so interesting
as the marriage of a descendant of Clovis to a sister of a Portuguese wife of
Akbar. Father Desideri, S. J., in 1714, a traveller in the E, Indies, mentions »
Lady Juliana Dias da Costa who was esteemed for her medical knowledge : and
the Vicar Apostolic of Agra iu 1832, says the Jesuits first gained Akbar's favour
" per impegne di una certa Signora Giuliana di Goa che come dottoressa si trovava
nel seraglio del suddito imperatore "; but this lady must not of course be con-
fused with Akbar's alleged sister-in-law Father Hosten holds that Akbar's
Christian wife is a myth. But it is impossible to get away frona the well attested
fact that Bourbon did marry a Juliana at Akbar's court, and this tale of Garcia's
at least explains how there came to be one at the court for him lo marry.]

CATHEDRAL,
OLD ROMAN CATHOLIC GRAVEYARD,
175.— 1785— TIEFFENTALLER, J., Padre, Inscription :-Tsiter
J. Tieffentali obiit Lacnoi 5 June 1785,
[Th s tombstone is in the graveyard at the back of the old Roman Catholio
Cathedral, now used, I am told for Indian Christians and close to the new
Cathedral ; I saw it myself, I lay stress on the point because many people
are under the impression that the Agra slab was removed to Mut<ra. Accord-
ing to the Calendar, there are, or were, similar tombstones at Lucknow and
Muttra. The one at Muttra is still there — in the house of the Roman Cathoi o
Chaplain. Nobody seems to know anything about the Lucknow tomb. One
can understand a tombstone at Lucknow where Tieffen*aller died, and at Agra
where he is buried ; but it is difficult to see why there should be one at Mutira.
He certainly went there in 1745 ; but he also went to many other places. It is
just possible — either that the Muttra slab is a rejected stone (similar to the
case mentioned in the introduction) : or that somebody removed it to Muttra,
perhaps at or after the mutiny, possibly for safety. Nor is there any doubt
that Tieffentaller is the correct spelling of the name ; it was th6 way he spelt
it himself. Joseph Tieffentaller was a native of Bolzano (Botzen) in the
Austrian Tyrol. (Botzen ]S the Pons Drusi of the Romans.) He left Ger-
many in 1740 and stayed two years in Spain. In 1743 he sailed from Lisbon
to Goa and thence went to Surat in the same year. He was probably destined,
says Father Noti, for Jai Singh's observatory ; but Jai Singh died in 1743, and
Tieffentaller went to Agra as a teacher at the Jesuit College. He was a man of
considerable linguistic attainments : he spoke German, Italian, Spanish and
French, wrote good Latin, and acquired a good knowledge of Urdu, Persian
Arabic and Sanskrit. He eventually composed a Sanskrit-Persian dictionary
and wrote some treatises in Persian. He was also a mathematician and astro-
nomer ; in fact well-equipped for the geographical labours to which he devoted
himself. He went first to Daman and returned to Surat, whence he proceeded
by land to Broach, and thence via Udaipur and Jaipur to Dig and A?ra, making
many scientific observations on the way. He reached Agra at the end of 1744.
He took the latitude of Agra and then (1745) went to the observatory of Jai Singh
at Muttra, and also visited Brindaban. In 1746 we find him back in Agra and
in 1747 with Strobl at Delhi, Thence ha was sent to Narwar (C. 1.) ; hig
52 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
new duties were to attend to the spiritual needs of a Christian community at
that place. In 1750 he went to Goa, via Malwa and Bombay. He stayed
there 6 months, and then went by Surat on a journey through Bombay and
Gujarat to Marwar, Jodhpur and Ajmer ; and in 1751 reached Narwar once
more. He next travelled to Gwalior, Gohad and Agra and returned the same
year to Marwar. He stayed here for some little lime, with occasional excursions
to Delhi, Brindaban, Agra and Kotah. He had good reasons to remain in
Narwar : for in 1759 occurred the persecution of the Jesuits by Kmg Joseph, and
to leave the safety of Moghui dominions for Portuguese territory was to court
imprisonment. The Order of Jesuits was abolished by Pope Clement XIV
in 1773 ; and he had now no friends in India save F. X. Wendel. Hs Christian
community at Narwar dwindled away, and he found himself, in 1765, penniless.
" Me trouvant embarrass^ pour ma subsistance," as he writes, he determined
to go to Bengal, relying on the charity of the " famous English nation so well
known for their humanity, liberality and charity to the poor". He then
travelled to Allahabad via Datia, Jhansi, Mahoba, Kalinjar, Chitrakot, Chatar-
pur, Panna and Ajaigarh. From Allahabad he went to Lucknow, Fyzabad,
Jaunpur, Benares and thence by boat to Calcutta, landing at Patna, Monghyr,
Rajmahal, Maqsudabad (now Murshidabad), Kasimbazar, Hooghly and Chand-
arnagore, and returning the same way, during which journeys he took observa-
tions and drew a map of the Ganges. Unfortunately he gives no details of his
life in Calcutta, nor of how the English justified his trust in their liberal. ty.
Father Noti supposes that he was well treated, or he would have returned to
Europe in an English ship by sea. We may hope so for the credit of our country-
men In 1766 he vis ted the English camp at Kora and then went to Lucknow,
whence he traversed the whole of Oudh during the years 1766-1771. He had
an assistant " versed in geography " whom he sent, e.g., to the cataracts of the
Ghagra. H:s other works he states to be (1) a Latin work on the relig on,
ceremon'es and customs of the idolaters, and the Gymnosophist philosophy ; (2)
a work on natural history ; (3) a work on climatic and astronomical phenomena ;
(4) a little work on the sources of Indian rivers. The second and third works are
said to have been lost. His editor, Bernoulli, does not regret that loss : for he
says that the good father had not the requisite knowledge to do the subjects
justice. But as has been shown, Tieffentaller was a man of wide learning, and
his views were probably valuable.
His great work, " JDescriptio Indiae ", is, as one writer says, " curious and
interesting." It is nob, perhaps, of much value now, save for his chance refer-
ences to people and facts that he observed. But that is not to depreciate it.
The discoveries of each succeeding geographer annul those of his predecessors :

Tiefientaller bad a very large share in the progress of the geographical knowledge
of India, at a time when it was especially valuable. Unfortunately it is largely
neutralized by the lack of maps, which, it would seem (J. A. S. B. 1872, an
article by A. S. Allan) were destroyed with other of his records at Lucknow in
the mutiny. But his value is considerable all the same, as gazetteer writers
know. Father Noti says that Growse is the only Anglo-Indian writer who
honours his memory by a laconic reference. But Anglo-Indian writers pay him
the far greater honour of using him, as will appear from a cursory glance at any
gazetteer, at all events of this province.]

French army and came from Madras to Delhi. After serving the Rana of
Gohad, he joined De Boigne, but subsequently raised a force of his own, of 11
battalions. He finally had to fly owing to a piece of treachery that failed.

himself escaped to Rajpufana where he rejoined Scindia and remained in his
service- till 1848, by which time he had become Scindia's Commander-in-Chief.

PROTESTANT CEMETERY.
A.^The English Facfory at Agra. — The tombs of Offley, Drake
and Purchas are memorials of the old English Factory at Agra. They
with Midnall's tomb (no. 105 in the Roman Catholic cemetery) are
evidence of more than that. They are a proof, and the only proof in
the United Provinces, of the antiquity of the British connection with
India. As Sir W. Hunter points out, the Anglo Indian cyclical year
dates back. not only to Plassey and 1757, but to 1657, the year in which
Cromwell granted his charter to 'the East India Company; and eveu
to 1557. For British India is the result of a world-old struggle for
Eastern trade and Eastern trade-routes : the English Muscovy
Company, which tried to control Eastern trade by trans-continental
routes, was a move in that struggle : and it was in 1557 that Anthony
Jenkinson, a servant of that company, met the Indian merchants at
Bokhara — the first Englishman to penetrate so far East. These old
English merchants would indeed have been surprised, even shocked, to
learn that they were pioneers of an Empire. But they were, — si
monnmenium requiris^ circiimspice.
The first adventure to India from England, made in 1589, the year
after the Arma.da, was a failure. In 1600 the first charter for Eastern
trade was granted to the Earl of Cumberland, and 215 knights, aldermen
and merchants, trading under the name of " the Governor and Company
of merchants of London trading into the East Indies." It is unneces-
sary here to tell the tale of all the various "joint stocks " and separate
voyages; for our concern is only with Agra. In 1608, Hawkins
landed at Surat and made his way to Agra with letters to the Great
Moghul : but after a struggle of five years to obtain leave to trade,
returned unsuccessful in 1612. In 1613 Paul Canning went to Agra
to sue for a farman and died there : the same year his place was taken
by the well-known Thomas Kerridge, and Withington ; and in 1614,
Edwards went there as resident factor with seven subordinates — •
Kerridge, Withington, Mitford, Browne, Younge, Ufflet, and Fettiplaco.
Sir Thomas Roe landed in ]6i5, and met the Emperor in 1616 though
he was never in Agra ; after much opposition from Shah Jahan, then
Prince Khur ram, he obtained farmans in 1618, and returned home in
1669, having proved a very " Joseph in the court of Pharaoh." Other
factors of the time at Agra were Hughes, Salbanke (1617), Biddulph
(1618), Parker (1619), Young (1620). Fettiplace died there in 162L
56 Christia"n Tombs and Monuments.
But bad times were in store for the English at Agra. They were
at open war with the Portuguese : they had quarrelled with the Moghul's
ofl&cers at Surat : the Moghul's officers confused them with the Dutch
and punished them for their rivals' aggressions. "Worst of all, in 1619
English ships had captured a " frigate " belonging to natives, on the
pretence that it was a Portuguese vessel. Retribution overtook them in
1621 when the true owners complained to Jahangir, and to Asaf Khan
brother of Jahangir' s wife Nui' Jahan. The latter wearied by the com-
plainants' inportunities, ceased to help his English proteges ; Hughes and
Parker were imprison d in Agra Fort, their goods sequestrated, and a
sum of £10,200 recovered from them. In May 1621 the factory was
broken up, to be reopened, with Offley, Willoughby, Goodwin and
Bangham, in 1624. We find Offley at the head of the factors there from
1625 to 7 : he was recalled and succeeded by Gregory Clement, after-
wards a notorious regicide
So the factory went on. As a trade concern, for various reasons
it was never over-prosperous ; its importance lay in its presence at the
headquarters of the Moghul Government. But when this shifted to
Delhi, its reason for existing ceased. As early as 1655, orders are found
from the company to recall the factors ( Jesson was there at the time ) ,
sell the horses, plate, &c., but to keep the house. In 1656, Jesson was
still there, though " long since sent for ", according to a letter of the
factors : and the company " presume " that the Agra and other up-
country factors have been withdrawn. But in 1657 we read that Jesson
was still there, as " his engagements " did not allow him to depart. In
16u0, the company express a hope that the Agra factory has not been
started again : and in 1661, the Surat factors writing to the company
mention its dissolution by the latter, meaning apparently a second disso-
lution of the factory, if by any chance it had been resettled — the words
are " you having dissolved the factorys of Agra and Ahmadabad, though
in the former place we had settled none." Bernier writing in 1663 says
the English had abandoned their factory which fixes a limit date : and
though Manucci speaks of English factors at Agra taking part in events
which other evidence shows should be referred to the year 1661, he is
extremely inaccurate in his dates, and his chance mention of English
factors, at this time, proves nothing. (For these events cf. no. 195.)
At some time between 1657 and 1660, therefore, the factory came to an
end altogether. Eight years laters Charles II handed over Bombay to
the company, and for the first time, the British own d a portion of India.

B. — The Dutch factory at ^j^ra.— The Dutch first settled at Surat
in 1616, under the leadership of Yan der Broecke. About 10 years
before (according to Roe, but the date is uncertain), certain Dutch
merchants at dilierent times h;'d tried to settle there but, for various
reasons, without success. In 1616 Roe, who was struggling on behalf
of his compatriots with Moghul intrigue, was not likely \o relish
added trouble in the shape of Dutch rivalry, and did his best to poison
the ear of Asaf Khan and Khurram against them. — " more ingeniously
than ingenuously " as Mr. Foster remarks. His efforts were only
partially successful, for they were allowed to land some factors
and merchandize. Next year the Dutch ships were wrecked near Surat,
and Roe advised that all assistance should be refused them. But in
1618 Yan Ravesteyn headed a Dutch embassy which obtained concessions

'hora. Jaliangir " tipon as good tearms almost as wee " as Roe writes,
Tliere was bitter rivalry, bitter dislike, and to a large extent, bitter
misrepresentation, at work between tke Dutch and English at this time.
Roe accused them of covering piracy with the English flag, a fact
probably untrue and certainly denied, but widely believed. Their pro-
ceedings were high-handed enough in all conscience: they captured
French, Danish, Portuguese and native ships indifferently. Used to the
petty princelings of the Spice Islands, they treated the Great Moghul to
the same audacious proceedings, and it took them time to learn that there
was a vast difference between Jahangir and the potentates of Java and
Sumatra. They settled in Agra in 1621, though their factors had paid
flying visits there before. Their first head was Wouter (or Walter)
Heuten. He died in 1623, and was followed by Francis Pelsart, who
at a later date was shipwrecked, according to Thevenot, off Austi'alia,
English and Dutch factors lived together on gooi terms, so long as the
new-comers wore weak : but when their competition became serious, they
quickly fell out, Thevenot has a letter (dated 1627; from Pelsart to
the Dutch East India Company, which contains a curious description of
Agra, but is chiefly noticeable for its jealousy of English trade successes.
In 1 628 the English records show that the rivals were not on speaking
terms, which was natural enough, in view of the massacre of Amboyna
( 1 623 ) and its results. Kone the less, it is pleasing to note that the
Dutch never carried resentment beyond the grave ; and on at least
two occasions offered their deceased rivals the last hospitality of sepulture.
Both Offley and Drake weie buried by them (nos. 190-191 ). Manucci
mentions Jan Tack (no. 195) i and a letter is extant, dated 1664, from
the Dutch Company to their Government in which the Agra factory
is mentioned. It is to be found in Thevenot. Bernier, writing in 1663,
mentions the Dutch factory as having generally four or five factors :
but their tirade was not then very lucrative owing, he thinks, to
Armenian competition, and the distance between Agra and Surat, But
he considered it, at the time, unlikely that they would abandon the
factory, as it was useful to have persons at court to look after their
interests. But even at this time Agi-a was beginning to give place to
Delhi, and very possibly it was the removal of the court from Agra to
Delhi which determined the Dutch to close their factory. When
exactly the factory was closed is not known. Tieffentaller, writing
presumably about 1750, says it had fallen into ruins ; and probably it
was closed soon after i 679, the date of the last tomb. Of the three factors,
de Boeck, assistant. Tack, leading merchant, and deLiem, accountant —
we know nothing, save a solitary fact recorded by Manucci about Tack.

transactions mentions them as on a platform at the south side of the
church ; and about the same time it would appear from infoi-mation
received from Mr. Fanthome, that Mr. A. Thomson, principal of Agra
college, for some reason or another had them put up on another (the

5S. Christian Tombs and Monuments.
From the story of Drake's death (no. 191), we find that these
tombs — Drake's for certain and probably all the others — originally
stood in the garden of the Dutch factory. It was the only piece of
grouud they owned in India ; and the English themselves had no
such garden in Agra, though they had elsewhere. As heretics, they
could not be buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery ; and it was
natural that they should inter the members of their community who
died in their garden. When the Dutch had to perform the last rites
for their English rivals, they would naturally bury them there also.
It would appear therefore that St. Paul's stands on the site of ihis
old Dutch garden ; so that the soil has remained purely European.
Of the nameless tombstones, one may be that of Wouter or Walter
Heuten, chief of the Dutch factory, who died in 1623.

190.— 1627— OFLEY, J. Inscription .-—Here lies the body of
Justinian Ofley who was chief merchant in Agra for the English,
He deceased the 18th April 1627.
[Justinian Ofley, or Offley was the son of Thomas Offley merchant, of
London. He arrived in India in 1620. In March 1621 he was sent to Broach,
and then on to Baroda, where he was very ill, a fact which he attributed to the
" air and bad water." In 1622, he went with other factors to Burhanpur and was
there till May or June, when the troubles with the Emperor Jahangir at Agra
forced the settlement to be abandoned, as was that of Agra itself. Ofley in Nov-
ember was back at Broach and remained there till, at all events, October 1623. In
that month he is found at Variao ; in November it was decided to reopen the factory
at Agra, and send Robert Young, Ofley and Goodwin there — " to obtayne the
King's firman, to ratifie and confirme the contracts concluded on with Cosrooe
the younge Prince " and to sell •' sundrye goods and Jewells." After a visit to
Surat, he and Goodwin are found writing from Baroda on Christmas day 1623,
There appears to be no further mention of him till December 1625, when he was
at Agra ; and in 1626, he is found there, with several others, as chief factor.
In 1627, Ofley incurred the displeasure of his superiors at Surat— what the
precise reason was is not clear, but it was apparently due to some friction with
John Bangham, another factor who was in residence (ch.efly) at the court, and
had been ordered to go to Agra : at all events, we learn that the Surat Council
were "mightily incensed against Bangham and still more against Ofley " in
December 1626 ; whilst in February 1627 the same writer (Joseph Hopkinson at
Ahmadabad writing to Bangham) says that Ofley 's proceedings " were so hardly
thought of that he will have need of a very sound and substantial apology for
himself, on arrival." He was to be succeeded by the notorious Gregory Clement,
later one of the Regicides, excluded from the Restoration amnesty and executed in
1660. But Ofley died in April, before Clement arrived there. " Whilst I was in
Cambaia (writes Kerridge to the company) letters came unto me from Agra
importing Justinian Offleyes decease, who departed this life after a lingering
sioknes, the 18th of April last ; and no other English being there " (they
were all away with caravans) " was buryed by the Dutch"; and we then get
a hint of the cause of the Council's anger against him : " his accounts are so
imperfect that more than all we feare will not cleare them." His pay, it is stated
in. 1622, was R 104 pice 43 for the year.]

[John Drake's death occurred in a riot, between some villagers and a caravan
of indigo of which he was in charge. He had been warned not to set out, be-
causj of the occurrence of the Holi festival which is described as " resembling the
carnival ". «' At a village, called Paechuchra, four corse fkosj beyond Dholpur . .
the gowars (ganwars) demanded rahdares, or, as we say, " toll " of the
party." With John Drake, were Dhanji, the English brokex at Agra, and his son ■
Aqba. 59
Horar Dfts. Dhanji pointed out that their /ai-waw* exempted them from toll:
and they let all the carts pass but two, which were guarded by four peons, which
they stopped : and endeavoured, also, to disarm these men. This adds weight
to the statement of some of those who wrote to the Surat factors on the subject,
that the subsequent riot was caused by the abuse indulged in by the peons : it is
just precisely what, in the circumstances, the peons might have been expected to
do. The peons resisted the attempt to disarm them, whereupon, the villagers
were reinforced by 300 others, variously armed, and a fight ensued. It is stated
that " « he gowars made a hoobub.' ' The villagers carried off Dhanji to the village :
John Drake and Morar Das were ahead and returned, but were surrounded by the
villagers. Drake set spurs to his horse and broke through them : the fight began
again and he was shot through with an arrow. This ended the fight : the peons
were rifled, but not the carts ; and when Drake was found to be seriously hurt,
the villagers did all they could to assist. A surgeon was sent from Agra by Da
Castro, the Jesuit rector ; but his help was in vain. Drake desired to be moved
to Agra, but died at Dholpur, on the 5th March.
The matter was reported to the Surat factors by, amongst others, Jeronimo
Veronio {vide no. 110) and Father daCastro (no. 83.) The Dutch buried him as
there was no other English factor in Agra. The map still shows a village calledc
Pachokhra near the spot referred to above. By the irony of fate, on March 10th,
within a day or two of Drake's burial, the company in London decided to raise
his salary from £ 20 to £60 per annum, in recognition of his eight years of
faithful service. E. K. is probably, Edward Knipe, a factor] .

[R. Drummond was Magistrate at Agra during the Mutiny. His views
were not approved by many of his superiors, but he was a strong man and ren-
dered invaluable services in spite of mistakes. The Mutiny Narrative states
" with all his admirable qualities, and all his energy and indefatigable
activity, by administrative experience his views were regarded as wrong, and
cordial cc-operation being most essential at such a juncture in carrying out new
arrangements it was perhaps better for the public service and more pleasant to
him, that their execution should be entrusted to other hands." He retired in
1877 and died in 1887.
Robert Andrew John Drummond (3820—1887), was the 5th son of the 8th
Viscount Strathallan, a title that had been in abeyance since Culloden, and is now
Mkerged in the Earldom of Perth. The history of the family is extremely
complicated ; it is of Hungarian origin and dates back to the time of Edgar
Atheling and Margaret, his sister, wife of Malcolm III of Scotland. The Lordship
of Driunmond dates to 1487, the Earldom of Perth to 1C06, the Earldom and
Dukedom of Melfort (the latter honour is French) to 16S6 and 1G92, and the
Viscounty of Strathallan also to 1C86, The Strathallan branch of the Drum-
monds are descended from th« 2nd son of the 2nd Lord Drummond. His wife
Anna Maria was daiighter of Compton Eeade and died 1871. They had 9 sons
and a daughter : the 2nd was born just before the Mutiny.]

supposition that there is a connexion between the famous Chevalier Dn5renec tmd
this tomb. Chevalier Dudrenec was a native of Brest, a Breton as his name
shows, a gentleman of refinement and education, as is generally agreed. He had
a most varied career, and served no less than seven masters, including the Begam
Bamru, Tukaji Holkar, Amir Khan, Hakwa Dada and Perron. He was a most
unfortunate commander, and lost several important battles. His notions of
loyalty were also not above question. Nevertheless encomiums have been
passed on him, and for good as well as for evil there can be no smoke without fire.
One thing is certain : he was a gentleman, and gentlemen were rare among the
military adventurers. DeBoigne, Dudrenec, Skinner, Gardner and Hearsey were
so, but it might be difficult to find another.]

died on the 24th August 1857, of wounds received in action on

[The action of the 5th July 1857 was the battle of Sacheta or Shahganj, in
which Brigadier Polwhele with 600 men attacked 5,000 rebels. The rebels were
driven back but the ammunition ran short, and Polwhele was compelled to retreat,
hotly pursued by the enemy's cavalry. It was a disastrous afiair, and Polwhele
was superseded shortly after.
Mr. Lamb was the son of D. Lamb, merchant, born at Liverpool in 1827.
He was Lieutenant Pearson's subaltern. He was wounded by a grapeshot in
his right thigh. " One of his guns was dismantled, but though exposed to a heavy
fire and rushes of cavalry, he went to work to remount it as coolly as if it had
been a practice with blank cartridge."]

[Mr.. Watson was Magistrate of Aligarh during the Mutiny. Assisted by
a troop of volunteer horse raised by Mr, Saunders, an indigo planter, he held
out till the 5th July. During this time he and hia men kept up a regular
patrol in disafiected villages and kept them- in check. About the beginning c^
June the troop was recalled to Agra but 10 men held out at Mandrak, a plan-
ter's house 6 miles from Koil, whence they kept communications open and
watched the Gwalior troops at Hathras, On the 2nd July whilst the twelve
men (Watson, young Outram, Sir J. Outram's son, and their ten volunteers)-
were at dinner they were attacked by several hundred rabble. They left their
meal and charged and defeated them, and went back to dinner. But as soon as.
the Gwalior troops rose they had to go, and rode in to Agra in time to fight
at Shahganj on the 5th July. Watson, who was of weak physique, was killed
by his exertions. iHis operations in Aligarh are peculiarly interesting, as
showing the value of a small force of volunteers so long as they have only rabble
to contend with.]

of Captain Liicius John French, 9th Queen's Royal Lancers, who
fell in action near this spot, October 10th 1857.
[The so-called battle of Agra was a discreditable affair. Greathed's column
from Delhi arrived at Agra on the morning of the lOf h. Colonel Cotton had
withdrawn his vedettes and patrols ; and civil authorities, who warned him that
the enemy were closer than he thought were snubbed. Greathed accepted what
he was told without question and himself posted no piquets, encamping his force
on the parade-ground. The men lay down to sleep. They .were suddenly
attacked. But it was impossible to take soldiers like these by surprise. An
officer galloped off for Greathed at the fort ; independent fights were going on all
over the parade-ground. •* Here a couple of cavalry soldiers were charging each .
other. There the game of bayonet versus sword was being carried on in real
earnest. Further on a party of the enemy's Cavalry were attacking one of
Blunt's guns Just in front, the 76th Foot (many of the men in their shirt
sleeves) were forming square to receive a body of the rebel horse. A little to the
left of the 7&th Remington's troops of horse artillery and Bourohier's battery
had opened fire from the park without waiting to put on their accoutrements
still further to the left, the 9th Lancers and Gough's squadron of
Hodson's Horse were rapidly saddling and falling in ; on the right the 8th Foot
and the 2nd and 4th Punjab Infantry were busy getting under arms, while
beyond the three squadrons of Punjab Cavalry under Probyn and Younghusband
were hurrying to get on the enemy's flank.
The enemy were gradually driven back, when Greathed appeared on the
scene. The 9bh Lancers made a series of brilliant charges, one troop recaptured
Blunt's captured gun— the Captain (French) was there killed. He had already
distinguished himself at Delhi.
The battle is remarkable, apart from itfi extraordinary nature — if ever a
British force •' muddled through " it was at Agra— for the number of officers of
repute who were then young subalterns that took part in this hand-to-hand affairs.
Sir Dighton Probyn, Lord Roberts, Sir John Watson, Sir Hugh Gough, all fought
there ; the former won his V. C. for capturing a standard, and Lord Roberts was
nearly killed, being saved by a trooper of the 9th Lancers. Sir George Campbell
also took part in the fight and captured several guns— an incident fully described
in his memoirs.]

349.— 1857— COLVIK, J. R., B.C.S. Inscription:— In memory
of John Russel Colvin bom May 29th 1807, died in this fort, Sep-
tember 9th 1857, Lieutenant-Governor oi' the North- Western Pro-
vinces, India.
[J. R. Colvin was of mixed Scotch and Irish descent. His grandfather was a
Sterlingshire merchant, his grandmother, the daughter of a North Ireland
clergyman. Their son, Alexander, founded a business (Colvin, Ainslie and Cowie)
in India in 1778. He died in 1818, and a monument erected by his brother mer-
chants to his memory is in St. John's, the Calcutta Parish Church. He is
buried in the South Park Street Cemetery. His younger brother, James, joined
his brother early in the eighties and married in 1802, Maria, daughter, of William
Jackson, attorney to the Company and " Registrar ' ' of the Supreme Court,
Their fourth son was J. R. Colvin.
He was educated in private schools at St. Andrews and subsequently (1819)
at St. Andrew's University; and in 1823 he entered Haileybury. In 1825 he sailed
for India ; for a few months he was at the Fort William College and before the end
of 1826 became an Assistant Registrar in the Chief Court of Appeal. He was sub-
sequently Assistant at Cuttack and in Hyderabad. For four years (1831 — 35) he
was in both judicial and revenue departments of the secretariat successively as
Assistant and Deputy Secretary and Secretary. For the next six years he was
Lord Auckland's Private Secretary and as such is said to have had considerable
influence on his Afghan policy, which ended in the Kabul expedition of 1839.
He was subsequently Resident in Nepal (1845) after three years furlough. Com-
missioner of Tenasserim in 1846, Judge of the Calcutta High Coujrt and Lieu-
tenant-Governor of the North- Western Provinces from 1853. His policy was
mainly directed to reforms in the judiciary and police, and to the re-settlement
of the land revenue.
The Mutiny broke out when Mr. Colvin was at Agra. The anxiety proved
too much for his health, and he died in the fort, where he is buried. Controversy
rages round two parts of his career : his connexion with the Afghan War, and his
policy during the Mutiny. Sir Auckland Colvin has exhausted the subject in
his life of his father, and those who wish to go deeper into the matter should
consult it. This is no place for such a discussion. Whatever his errors, there
can be no doubt that " he gave up his Hfe for his country as much as if he had
fallen on the battle-field." His death was due to his persistence in continuous
mental labour when his health demanded complete repose. To his qualities— his
gentleness, forbearance and energy, his administrative ability and devotion to
duty- -even his critics bear witness. Almost his last words were " Nee ^attiam
antiquam nunc est spes ulla videndiJ'^
He married in 1827, Emma Sophia, daughter of the Reverend Wetenhall
Sneyd in Calcutta. Of his sons, Sir Auckland Colvin was also Lieutenant-Gover-
nor of the North- Western Provinces and Oudh (1887 — 1892) and another son, Sir
W. M. Colvin (died 1908) was a well-known barrister in practice at Allahabad.]

famous monuments of the ancient art and history of these Provinces
formerly administered by him- This tablet is placed by order of
his friend, the Earl of Lytton, Viceroy and Governor- General of
India, A. D. 1880.
[This tablet is not a memorial of Sir John Strachey, but in commemoration
of his work. He died, however, in 1908 and this has been inserted here in
consequence. Sir John Strachey, G.C.S.I., was born in 1823, the son of Edward
Strachey, B.G.S, He was educated at Haileybury and went out to India in 1842.
The chief posts he held were President of a Commission to inquire into the

in 1878. His son. Sir Arthur Strachey (died 1901) was Chief Justice, Allahabad,
High Court, from 1899 to 1901.
The Strachey family is very ancient and has moreover been connected with
India since the time of Clive. It traces its tree back as far as William Strachey
of Saffron Walden born in 1493. The first baronet, Sir Henry (1737—1810) waa
Secretary to Lord Clive in 1764. and held other posts under Government, both
at home and abroad. Edward Strachey, his second son, was in the B.C.S. His
sons were Sir Edward, 3rd baronet, Henry (a Colonel in the Bengal Army), Sir
Richard and Sir John (vide above) and George, formerly British Minister at the
Saxon Court. Sir John Strachey married Katherine Jane, daughter of G. Batten,
B.C.S. Besides Sir Arthur Strachey, mentioned above, another son was a
Lieutenant- Colonel in the Indian Army ; other members of the family have also
served or been connected with India. The present (4th) baronet Sir Edward
Strachey is M. P. for S. Somerset.]

Regiment and 6 battalions of sepoys. Holkar's troops were strongly posted
but a succession of bayonet charges turned them out of their positions, " They
charged one battery after another for 2 miles." Frazer's leg was shot off
early in the engagement. He was removed to Muttra but died shortly after,
•' He was an able and brave soldier, and a worthy member of society : so that the

departed this life on the 20th July 1804, aged 36 years. Also in
remembrance of his son, C. P. Sutherland (a very promising
youth), who died at Hindia, on the 14th of October 1801, aged 3
yeai'S.
[Originally an officer in the 73rd, from which he was cashiered, Col.
Sutherland entered Sindhia's service in De Boigne's 1st Brigade in 1790.
Soon after 1794 he obtained command of the 3rd and then of the 2nd Brigade.
At De Boigne's retirement he was senior officer in Hindustan and hoped to
succeed him : but Perron had Sindhia's ear and obtained the appointment
for himself. He saw service in command in Bundelkhand in 1796 : but shortly
afterwards was dismissed for intriguing with rebelhous chiefs. In 1799 he was
restored through the influence of his father-in-law, John Hessing, and became
commander of the 1st Brigade. In 1801 he won the important victory of Indore
over Holkar's troops. In 1802 as the result of an unsuccessful intrigue against
Perron, he resigned his commission. He was in Agra in a private capacity when
Lake besieged it (not as Keene says in his " Handbook to Agra ' ' as command-
dant) : but the troops after imprisoning him and other Europeans sent him as
an envoy to Lake to ask for terms. He passed over to the British and was given
MUTTRA. 87
. a pension of Es. 800 a month. He had, so far as is known, two sons, of whom
one is buried with him. His wife appears to have been Magdalene, daughter
of John Hessing (of. no. 145.)]

Infantry, who was shot by a detachment of his regiment and of
the 41st Native Infantry near this spot on the 30th May 1857.
This tomb is erected by his brother officers.
[Two companies — one of the 44th and one of the 67th N. I. — were sent from
Agra to relieve a company of the 67th who were at Muttra. The relieved com-
pany was to escort the treasure to Agra. The treasure was packed in carts : and
as soon as Mr. Burlton gave the order to march, the guard mutinied and shot
him.
The Mutiny Narrative, Rice-Holmes and Raikes, give slightly different ac-
counts of the incident, which leave it uncertain whether all three companies
mutinied, or one or more of them, and if so which ; nor is it clear to which com-
pany Mr. Burlton belonged. Probably all three companies rose : and as Mr.
Burlton was to march with the relieved company, in all probability he belonged
to them.

44th at Agra.]

[The garrison at Fatehgarh consisted of the 10th N. I.' The inhabitants
were largely turbulent Muhammadans. The 10th were supposed to be faithful
by their officers ; their faithfulness extended so far that they said that whilst
they themselves would not murder their officers, if another corps killed them,
**it was not their fault." As the Lieutenant-Governor wrote "they were
faithful in a peculiar way, and masters of the situation." When some muti-
neers (Oudh Irregulars) arrived, they received and made much of
them. It was then that about 140 Europeans left in boats, who were joined
later by four officers of the 10th N. I. They reported that on parade the
sepoys had fired at their officers who had escaped to the fort : these four had
been unable to do so.
These boats came under a heavy fire at Khoosumkhor. Shortly after some
40 went up to a fort of Hardeo Bakhsh's at Dharampur. The rest went on
down the river. Meantime Mr. Probyn and two of the four officers returned
to Fatehgarh. They found that the regiment had mutinied : they had fired on their
officers and insisted on the treasure being taken from the fort to their lines.
They had been pacified with two months' pay in advance and a promise of six
month's latta ; and they were then pronounced faithful and staunch. Mr.
Probyn returned to Dharampur. Everybody there was dissatisfied with the
place : and on a letter being received from Colonel Smith, all but Mr. Probyn
and family and Mr. Edwards of Budaun, returned to the Fort. The Sitapur
mutineers arrived two or three days later and on the 18th, the 10th mutinied.
The Nawab was put on the gaddi ; and the siege of the fort began. The fort
was not defensible : there were only two guns, and a few model guns not
mounted on the walls, the fort was out of repair and there was little ammunition.
For nine days it was bravely defended. Colonel Tucker being among the slain.
He was shot through a loop hole whilst looking out to see the effect of his last
shot. On the 3rd July the fort was evacuated, and the party went off in boats,
fired on most of the way. At Singirampur one boat grounded : a heavy fire wag
opened, and the passengers jumped overboard ; they were all killed oi taken

prisoners except three. Others were also killed in another of the boats. They
eventually reached Cawnpore only to be there murdered by the Nana.
Of those that left on the 4th June, those that did not branch off to Dharam-
pur were made prisoners, taken to Cawnpore and there murdered.

ensign 1773 ; captain 1784 and Lieutenant-Colonel 1800. The date of birth is
possibly wrong and a cadet was more likely to be appointed at 12 years old
than at 22 in those days. He was the officer who gave his name to the present

395.— 182.8- GARDNER, A. Inscription :--Al2i,ia. Gardner died
XXX January 1828.
[This is the only inscription in a very handsome marble mausoleum, contain-
ing however several other tombs of the Gardner family.
Alan Gardner was the son of Col. William Linnaeus Gardner (1770 — 1835),
nephew of Alan, first Lord Gardner, a distinguished admiral. He was in the
service of Jaswant Rao Holkar (1798), but left it because of an affront to his wife,
who was a Muhammadan princess, daughter of the Beg of Cambay, by name Mahr
Etah. 95
Manzul-un-nissa Begam. In 1804 he raised for the British Government the
regiment known as Gardner's Horse. In 1815 ho raised a force of irregulars
and assisted in the reduction of Almora and Kumaun, where another relative,
the Hon'ble E. Gardner was Resident. Until his death he resided on his estate
at Chhaoni. Though there have been no distinguished members of this family in
India except Col. W. L. Gardner, abovementioned, thanks to their marriages
with various great houses, the family history is most distinctly interesting. The
lineage is as follows : — William Gardner of Coleraine, Commander of a company
during the siege of Derry, left a son, William, Lieutenant-Colonel of the 11th
Dragoons. He had 5 sons and 7 daughters, of whom the 2nd, Valentine, was
father of Col. W. L. Gardner by his wife Alida Livingstone ; the 4th was Alan,
1st Baron Gardner.
Col. W. L. Gardner married Mahr Manzul-un-nissa Begam, Princess of
Cambay. By her he had two sons, Alan and William James. Alan Gardner
(whose inscription this is) married Bibi Sahiba Hinga, and left two daughters,
Busan and Harmuzi. W. J. Gardner married first Bibi Sahiba Banu by whom
he had a son, Hinga, and two daughters : and secondly, Mulka Humani Begam,
daughter of Mirza Suleman Sheko, son of Shah Alam, and brother of Akbar
Shah, Emperor of Delhi. Susan Gardner married Mirza Anjan Sheko, son of
Mirza Suleman Sheko. Harmuzi married Stewart Gardner, son of Rear Admiral
Francis Gardner, and grandson of Alan, 1st Lord Gardner, his cousin. Their son
is Alan Legge Gardner, now in Government service. His son, Alan Hyde,
married Jane, daughter of Anjan Sheko and Susan Gardner. There are also
numerous ramifications, the descendants of Rear Admiral Francis Gardner and
Stewart Gardner, his son.
Burke notes that since the death of the 3rd Baron (Alan Legge, son of Alan
Hyde, 2nd Baron) the right to the barony has not been established though an
heir obviously exists. A glance at the pages of Burke shows that the contention
is sufficiently well founded : for the family is widespread to a degree. But for
our purposes the most interesting point of the pedigree of this family is the
remarkable relationship between an English baronial family, the house of
Taimur, the Nawabs of Gudh and the Begs of Cambay.
The following members of the family are buried in this mausoleum, besides
Alan Gardner : —
(1) Col. W. L. Gardner, 1778—1835.
(2) Mahr Manzul-un-nissa, his wife.
(8) W. James Gardner, died 1846.
(4) Mulka Humani Begam, his wife.]

of Revd. Thomas Thomason, a chaplain in Calcutta. In 1814 he went lo England
and was educated at Stansted and Haileybury. He leturnied to India in the
B. C. S, in 1822. He became successively Assistant Reg'strar of the Sadr
Court, Calcutta (1823) ; Deputy Secretary to Government (1830) ; and Collector
of Azamgarh (1832), where he gained valuable settlement experience. In 1837 he
became Secretary to Government, North- Western Provinces : extra Member of
the Board of Revenue (1841) ; Foreign Secretary to the Government of India
(1842), and Lieutenant-Governor of the North- Western Provinces in 1843 at the
age of 39. His administration was directed to the improvement of settlement
(•« Land Revenue Administration prevalent in the North- Western Provinces " is
his magnum opus on the subject) ; to the remodelling of the Public Worts
Department and to the execution of considerable public works, notably the Grand
Trunk Road and the Ganges CanaL He founded the Thomason Engineering
College at Roorkee in 1848, and opened the Benares College in 1853. He was
responsible for causing many district statistical reports to be published and
commenced the series of " Selections from the Records of Government ". The
spread of vernacular education by his system of tahsiU schools was another
feature of his policy. Conspicuous ability, devotion to the publ c service, con-
scientious discharge of every duty, surpassing administrative cai acity, extensive
knowledge of affairs, clear judgment, benevolence of character and suavity of
demeanour are qualities attributed to him by the proclamation announcing his
death. On the day he died he was appointed Governor of Madras.]

This tablet and chancel windo-ws were erected in memory of the above'
named persons, who were murdered at Bareilly in June 1857.—
A.D. 1863.
[There had been riimours of approaching mutiny in Bareilly for two
monihs before it actually broke out on the 31st May 1857. Consequently most
cf the ladies and children of the station had been sent in time to Nami Tal. The
troops (18th and 68th Native infantry and 8th Irregular cavalry) rose on the
31st. Some officers who had taken refuge in the lines of the IBtb, who were
supposed to be loyal, found they were as mutinous as the rest, and also escapecE
to the hills. Others took refuge with natives of rank, but were hunted out
and murdered, mostfy by the orders of Khan Bahadur Khan, a descendant of the
Rohilla chief Hafiz Kahmat Khan, who set up his government in the city and
ruled there till the approach of the British troops under Sir Colin Campbell.
The following details of the deaths of certain cf the persons- mentioned m the
tablet are given in the Mutiny Narrative : —
Messrs. Robertson, Orr, and Ray were killed in the house of Hamid Hasan^
the Munsif, who had promised to protect them, by the Kotwal and other bad
characters.
Messrs. Buch and RaiJce» were killed in the house of Aman Ali Khan by-
some Muhammadans, assisted by Aman Ali's nephew.
The Aspinall family took refuge with Zakir Ali, a Karinda of Mr. Aspin-
all's, who gave them up to be slaughtered to Khan Bahadur Khan.
The Phellan B^udi Z>a«t* families, Mr. and Miss Watts and Mr. Beale weie
murdered by the mob near the Nil-ki-chauki.
The Laivrence family were murdered and robbed by Faiz-ullah, Saiyid, witb
whom they to<)k refuge.
Mr. Bulst was murdered by the Jail guard ; Miss Bolst in the streets.
The Camerow* were killed in a godown near their own bungalow ; the Alones-
whilst escaping to Faridpur. Dr. Hanshrow hid in the Jail, but was discovered
M4 murdered by Khan Bab idu -rF-han at the Kotwali, as were Messrs. Kichola*
BAREILLt. 99
€md Jaqnei. Major Pearson, Captains Richardson and RatJiorn, Lieutenants
X>yiton and Steward, and Quartermaster Sergeant Cross and his child were killed
1by the villagers of Ram Patti whilst escaping along the Shahjahanpur road.
Sergeant Staples was killed at Baheri on his way to Naini Tal, Messrs. Fenmck
and Richie and Sergeant Henry in the City, and Sergeant Worrell and Mr.
Cruiser disappeared.
As regards Lieutenant r«ayt<f, Forbes Mitchell tells the following story :
There were apparently some renegade Europeans among the ranks of the
mutineers (both Rees and he give instances). One of these, as he was subsequently
told by an ex-mutineer, had been Sergeant-Major in a Bareilly native regiment.
He had advised the murder of all European officers, and himself shot his Adju-
tant Tucker, He quotes from " A Short Account " of the Bareilly mutiny, which
stated :
" The European Sergeant -Major had remained in tfaie lines and Adjutant
Tucker perished while endeavouring to save the life of the Sergeant-Major^"
This curious tale rests on a certainly circumstantial account of the ex*-
mutineer's, v/ho gave details of this renegade's career, which in one point was
checked by Forbes Mitchell's own experience. But it is to be noticed, firstly,
that this does not agree with the Mutiny Narratine as regards Lieutenant
Tucker's death : he is said thexe to have been killed by his sepoys whilst mount'-
ing his horse in the mess compound. And, secondly, that every sergeant in
Bare.lly is accounted for in the Narrative, except Sergeant Worrell, who
belonged to the Jail Department : whilst of the two sergeants of the 68ih one
was killed and one escaped to Naini Tal. The story, therefore, though it may
he true, certainly does not agree with the Mutiny Narrative.
David Robertson was the son of Major D. Robertson, Bengal Army, and born
at Agra in 1811. He was educated at Edinburgh and Haileybury (1827—9) : he
served in Bareilly, Nuddea, Benares, Delhi, Mainpuri, Saharanpur, Bijnor, and
Farrukhabad,
George Hansbrow was bom at Preston in 1823 ; he was the son of J. Hans-
bTow, Governor of Lancaster Cas'ile.

son of the Revd. T. Pearson, Rector of Witley, Worcestershire.
Taylor Campbell Richardson was the son of a Bengal Civilian. He was born
in Saugor Roads in 1812. He joiaed the service in 183L

400.— 1831— DICK, J. C. Inscription :— -To i\kQ memory of James
Charles Dick, Judge and Magistrate of Zillah Bareilly, 4th son of
Dr. Dick of Tullymet, Perthshire, North Britain, born 23rd
August 1792, died 17th November 1831. Deeply regretted by his
friends and relations.
[Tomb not traceable. Inscription reproduced from Fiihrer's List.]
James Chartres Dick is the correct name, according to the baptismal
certificate. He was the son of W. Dick, Assistant Surpeon, H. E. I.C.S., and
af tei-wards a Mayfair physician, born at Fort William in 1792. He was at Hai-
leybury (1808-9), arrived in India 1810, and served in Aligarh, Farrukhabad,
Meerut, Bulandshahr, Fatehpur and Bareilly. Prinsep shows him as Com-
missioner of Revenue and Circuit at Bareilly in 1829, but that must have beea
a temporary promotion, as all other authorities show him as Judge and Magistrata
in 1831. There were at least nine Dick's in the C. S. before 1842.J

401.-1845— FANTHOME, B., Captain. Inscription .-—Sacred to
the memory of Captain Bernard Fanthome, late of tlie H. E. I. Co.'s
service, died at Bareilly November 25tli, 1845, aged 74 years.
•' The Lord is our defence."
— Pm. LXXXIX, 18.
[Bernard Fanthome was of French descent, and ran away from home pro-
bably about the time of the French Revolution. He served first under Raymond
in Hyderabad and then migrated to Bhopal, where his brother Jean Baptiste
commanded a brigade. He served under the Maharaja of Jaipur and fought at
Madhogarh ; he ihen joined Sindhia's service, but left him With many other
officers when war with the British broke out, and joined Lord Lake, be.ng made
a Captain in Colonel Gardner's Irregular Horte. He retired after the war and
lived first at Patna and then at Bareilly, where a market called Faltunganj still
commemorates his name. He had studied medicine in his youth aad now began
to pract se it again. On one occasion he was summoned by Metcalfe to attend
Shah Alam at Delhi, but the Emperor died before he could even see him. He
became phys can to tha Nawab of Rampur and subsequently his chief minister
for a time ; but disagreements followed and he returned to Bareilly, where he
again practised medic ne. He died somewhat suddenly in 1845.
He had several sons. Their father's circumstances had become embarrassed
and they were compelled to earn a living. The se«x)nd, John Bernard, became
first tutor of the Maharaja of Bhartpur (Balwant Singh) and then head clerk of the
Political Agent's office He was there in the Mutiny and rendered good service
by transmitting intelligence to Agra. Of Captain Bernard Fanthome's two
daughters, one married James Gardner, grandson of Colonel W. L. Gardner (Na.
395), and the other, J R. LeMaistre, a descendant of J. LeMaistre, Puisne Judge
of Calcutta in Warren Hastings' time The family is still represented by Mr.
E, C. LeMaistre, Deputy Magistrate in this province.
iMr. J. B. Fanthome's son is Mr. J. F. Fanthome, retired Deputy Magis-
trate, to whom I am indebted for the material for this and several other notes,
ch efly relating to Agra. His grandson, J, A. Fanthome, 1 as buried in Agra
(No. 255) ; he was a lad of the greatest promise and had a musical talent lar
above the ordinary His brother also died last year. Miss Louisa Fanthome
(No. 252) was Mr. J. F. Fanthome's sis+er ; J. F,, like his brother F. Fanthome,
are both ant.quarians of no small repute, whose speciality is Agra.
Captain B. Fanthome married a daughter of J. F. Fauvel, w Frenchman in
the serv ce of Rampur. The name is said to have been originally Fantome and
the '-h" was added to conceal it. But the two words would in French be
pronounced exactly al.ke ; and considering the obvious meaning (" Fant&me,
Phantome " means " Phantom ") it seems to me more probable that the whole
name is a disguise.
This is a particularly good instance of the history of those Anglo-Tndian fami-
lies which came into existence at the end of last century, and provide many of our
best officers at the present day.]

ICf. No. 399. He was " old and ill": he firmly believed in his troops and,
like many other officers, fell a victim to his belief in their fidelity.

[The 42nd Royal Highlanders, better known as the " Black Watch ",
arrived in India about the beginning of November 1857, and joined Sir Colin
Campbell at Cawnpore, just before the third battle of Cawnpore, in which they
took part. Thence they went with Adrian Hope to Bithur (November and
December 1857). They marched with Sir Colin to Fatehgarh, and thence were
again detached with Adrian Hope and fought at Shamsabad (January 1«58).
They took part in the siege of Lucknow as part of the 4th Brigade, and took the
Manin^re (March 1858). They next went with Walpole in his advance into
Rohilkhand, via Sandila, Rudhamau, Sandi and Allahganj. and fought at Ruiya,
where Adrian Hope was killed, and on the Ramgung<. They were in the battle
of Bare lly, where they were charged by " Ghaz:s ", and did well. They remained
in garrit»on there : one wing went to Moradabad. The 42nd are now the 1st
Battal on, the Black Watch (Royal H gblanders). They were raised in 1729, and
were in India from 1857 to 1868 and 1896 to 1902. Their Indian honour is
" lucknow'-. They also fought in Egypt, the Peninsula, at Waterloo, in the
Crimea, Ashanti and Egypt (1882 — G).]

[The battle of Bhitaura, or Fatehganj, was fought by Sir Ralph Abercromby
against the Rohillas under Ghulam Muhammad — it was in a war with the State
ol Rampur, which had been handed over to the Rohilla chief Faiz UJlah Khan
when Roh.lkhand came under the Nawab Wazir of Oudh. Defeat was very nar-
rowly averted. Captain Ramsay was ordered to charge with the Light Cavalry ;
but by an eror in judgment he presented his flank to the enemy, was charged,
and his regiment was cut up. It was at this disastrous moment that Captain
Mordaunt, Colonel Burrington, Major Bolton, Lieutenants Baker and Tilfer (see
next entry), and all the officers of the 13th Native Infantry were killed. The rest
of the line stood firm, however . and defeated the Rohillas after a fierce engagement
in which we lost 14 officers and 600 men. Ghulam Muhammad was banished to
Benares, and the State of Ram pur, considerably reduced in extent, was given over
to the infant son of Muhammad Ali, son of Faiz Ullah. Muhammad All had been
defeated and killed by Ghulam Muhammad.
Captain Ramsay left the field and the country and is shown as " deserted ' '
in official lists. It is said he entered the French service. He is probably the Cap-
tain Ramsay of No. 370.]

[The mutiny at Shahjahanpur broke oui on the Slst May. The 28th Native
infantry revolted, whilst most of the Europeans in the station were in church.
In the midst of service *• six or seven Sepoys, armed with tulwars and lathis,
rushed in upon us. Kicketts received one tulwar wound as he stood by my side,
when he ran through the vestry door, and must have been cut down by some muti-
neers who were waiting outside. Captain Lysaght {cf. No. 411) with some other
officers and myself succeeded in closing the church doors against our murderous
assailants . . ." The church was defended for about an hour. Captain
James was shot on the parade ground and Mr. Bowling whilst driving to the
church. The rest then made their way to Powayan. The Eaja Baijnath Singh
sheltered them a night, but then sent them off, saying he could no longer protect
them. Mr. Smith was killed by the sepoys in a hut in the city, ; he was ill with
fever and had not gone to the church. Mr. LeMaistre was killed in the church ;
Mr. MacCallam escaped out of the city but was murdered by some villagers in a
melon field. A. C. Smith was son of E. P. Smith, B.C.S., by his 2nd wife
Harriet Chester. E. P. Smith was the fifth son of George Smith, M P., for

ALLAHABAD DIVISION.
Cawnpore Districts
ALL SAINTS' MEMORIAL CHURCH.
The church, erected on the site of General Wheeler's entrenchment,
is itself a monument to the memory of the victims of the Cawnpore
massacres. It is built of red brick faced with buff sandstone in the
Lombardo- Gothic style : the nave and transept are paved with marble,
the chancel with Minton tiles. On the walls are 14 memorial tablets,
giving the names of those who died in Cawnpore in 1857.
The English troops in Cawnpore in 1857 consisted of a company of
Artillery, 60 men of the 84th, 30 of the 32nd and 15 of the 1st Madras
Eusiliers. The Native troops were the 2nd Light Cavalry and the 1st,
53rd and 54th N. L They were all, with the possible exception of the
53rd, disaffected. With civilians, women and children, the Europeans
numbered not less than 950.
At this time there was residing at Bithur Dundhu Pant, alias the
Nana Sahib, the adopted son of Baji Rao and heir to all his possessions
but his pension ; " a man of no capacity and debauched tastes . . . strong
passions, and no principles to guide them." Though he considered
himself aggrieved by the lapse of Baji Rao's pension, he maintained
civil, even friendly, relations with the European residents. He even
offered them assistance : and such trust was put in him, that the Magis-
trate, Mr. Hillersdon, asked him to guard the Treasury when matters
became threatening.
" No very serious view was taken of matters in general." If there
was a General in India who knew the sepoy, it was Sir Henry Wheeler.
It may be that he knew him too well : that he relied too greatly on the
half century's fidelity of which he had experience. But it is certain
that he watched the troops narrowly and formed the opinion that, if
they did revolt, they would march at once to Delhi : consequ ently, he
would only be called on to meet the city rabble. It was this that
induced him to choose his miserably weak position in place of the strong
magazine, to hold which Lawrence urged him : for to seize this would
have meant removing the sepoy guard and precipitating the outbreak.
At all events he decided to entrench a couple of buildings (barracks)
with a low mud wall over which " an English subaltern could have
ridden on a cast horse from the Company's stud." The women and
children were sent into this place on the 21st May and it was victualled
for 25 days. Of arms and ammunition there was plenty : but of guns
only ten.
On the 4th June two native regiments, the cavalry and the 1st N.
I., rose. Neither at the time did any harm ; they merely broke and fled.
The 56th N. I. yielded to the t/Cmptation the next day. The 53rd wei-e,
by some extraordinary error in judgment, fired into by Ashe at Sir
H. Wheeler's orders " and were literally di'iven from us by nine-poun-
ders." Even then the native officers and Bome 80 men remained faith-
ful.
108 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
Sir H. Wheeler's view, that the regiments when they mntinied would
at once march on Delhi, was so proved correct. But the Nana Sahib, on
whom everybody had relied, changed the situation. Whether of his own
motion, or prompted by Azim-nl-lah his agent, he decided to attack
the Europeans at Cawnpore with the sepoys, whom he at once joined
and induced to return, instead of marching to Delhi.
So the siege began on the 7th June. The entrenchments were as
already stated of the weakest possible kind : they were also surrounded
by cover. Matters, however, were slightly improved by two barracks
close to the entrenchment which the besieged continued to occupy. It
is unnecessary to dwell on the miseries of the next three weeks. The
defence was so vigorous that the rebels themselves were — and admitted
that they were— astounded. But one barrack was fired : the number of
the defenders grew daily less. Every single artilleryman was slain at the
guns ; no water could be obtained save at the risk of almost certain
death. Capitulation was the only alternative to annihilation : and when
on the 26th June a missive was received which promised to spare and
send to Allahabad " all soldiers and others unconnected with the acts of
Lord Dalhousie," a capitulation was decided on, contrary to the advice
of many officers who would have preferred even the other alternative.
On the 27th June boats were provided to convey the remains of the
garrison to Allahabad. And now followed the most dastardly piece of
treachery that has perhaps ever been perpetrated. The party took their
seats in the boats at the Sati Chaura Ghat : but " at a signal from the
shore, the native boatmen .... all jumped over and waded to the
shore." Guns and musketry then opened on the boats : only one (Major
Vibart's) could start, and they were reinforced by about a dozen swim-
mers. Of the passengers in the other boats, some were killed, some
drowned, some taken prisoners. The slaughter went on till stopped by
an order of Bala Bao, or the Nana. But only the women and children
were spared. They were placed in the Savada Kothi.
The boat that escaped had 50 people on board and went down the
riverr under a heavy fire. It grounded three times, the third time at
Sheorajpur, thirty miles down the stream, on the morning, (it would
seem) of the 29th. Here a party of fourteen — Mowbray Thomson,
Dela Fosse, Sergeant Grady and eleven privates landed, to drive ofl' their
assailants. They actually drove them back without loss, but then,
looking round, saw no signs of the boat. They retreated three miles and
then seized a temple. Even here they drove the enemy back, and it was
not till the mutineers brought up gunpowder and tried to blow up the
place that they broke out and charged. Six fell : seven took to the water ;
of these three were killed. Mowbray Thomson, Dela Fosse, Murphy and
Sullivan escaped and were saved by Raja Drigbijai Singh, of Murar-
mau, in the present district of Rae Bareli. The rest of the party in the
boat were seized and brought back to Cawnpore, and the men were
killed at once : the women and children were confined in the Savada
Kothi. The first batch of Fatehgarh fugitives had been murdered as
soon as they arrived f June I2th) : the second batch now arrived; of
them all the men but three were murdered, and the women and children
with the Cawnpore prisoners were confined in the Bibigarh.
On the 15th July Havelock fought and won the battles of Aung and
the Pandu Naddi. His army was within a day's march of the city.
" Then ensued the last act of the tragedy of Cawnpore. It was pointed
out to the Nana that the captives in the Bibigarh would supply
Cawnpore. 109
damning evidence against all concerned in the massacres. First of all the
five men were taken out and shot. Then a numb- r of sepoys were
selected and told to shoot down the women and children through the
windows of the house. This was too much even for them : they .fired at
the ceiling instead. At the Nana's bidding four butchers, armed
with knives, went in and hacked their victims to pieces Next morning
a heap of corpses, a heap of wounded and a .number of children were
dragged out and thrown, the living and the dead together, into a well
hard by."
Two days later Havelock entered Cawnpore " too late to save, but not
too late to avenge." But comment is needless : " sunt lacrimcB rerumy

[The memonal consists of 14 tablets. For the sake of convenience I give each
tablet separately, so that the notes may not become unnecessarily confused.
About many of the names not even so much as the manner of death is known :
and where it is recorded, there are occasionally variations in the accounts given.
Sir Hugh Wheeler (1789-1857), son of Captain H. Wheeler, R. N., and Margaret,
daughter of the 1st Lord Massy was educated at Richmond and Bath. He was
appointed cadet in 1803 and joined the 24th N. I. and fought at Dehli in 1804
under Lake. He became Lieutenant-Colonel in 1835, and commanded the 48th
N. I., at the storm of Ghazni, He was made C. B. for his services in the first
Afghan war. In 1846 he became Brigadier ; he commanded a brigade at Mudki
and was wounded : but fought again at Aliwal. He commanded the Jalandhar
Field force in 1848-49 and reduced the fortresses of Ranger Nagal, Kullawalha and
Dulla. He became K. C. B. in 1850, and Major-General in 1854. He was doubt-
less killed in the boats.
Lieutenant G. R. Wheeler, his son and A. D. C, was killed by a round shot.
He had just been wounded in the trenches and was resting on a sofa, when a
, round shot entered the door and killed him before all his family.
The Lindsays. — A slip of paper was found in the Bibigarh, as follows : " Mam-
ma died July 12th ; Alice died July 9th ; George died June 27th. ..Uncle Willy died
June 18th ; Aunt Lilly died June 17th." Mowbray Thomson explains that this
was in the handwriting of one of the Misses Lindsay : that " Mamma " was Mrs.
George Lindsay ; '• George " was Ensign G. L ndsay : " Uncle Willy" and •« Aunt
Lilly" were Major and Mrs. W. Lindsay. In that case the three daughters (Alice,
Frances and Caroline) would be daughters of Mrs. G. Lindsay, and either sisters
or cousins of George Lindsay. The tablet is, therefore, misleading. C. Lindsay
should be G. Lindsay : and the arrangement reads as if the first Mrs. Lindsay was
Major Lindsay's wife, and mother of the three daughters : and the second, Ensign
Lindsay's wife. To be clear the list should have read " Major and Mrs. W. Lindsay
Mrs. G. Lindsay and daughters, Ensign G. Lindsay." Major Lindsay was blinded
by splinters caused by a round shot. He lay for several days in extreme pain,
but at last succumbed. (Dela Fosse says he died of fever.) Mrs. W. Lindsay
died of grief, according to Mowbray Thomson. The other two Misses Lindsay
were killed on the 15 th July.
William Lindsay was the son of M. W. Lindsay, merchant, Dublin, born
in 1810. He joined the service in 1820 and was a Major in 1854. G. Lindsay
belonged to the 1st N. I. and joined the service in 1856 : I could not find his
papers.
Edwin Wiggins was the son of Lieut. Col. Wiggins of the Bengal Army and
joined the service in 1835. He was born " abroad " — i.e. in India, but I could
not trace the date. He was Deputy Judge Advocate General. His wife died on
the 12th June.
Captain Williamson was the son of Lieut. Col. D. Williamson, born at Saugor
in 1822. He joined the service in 1843.

charge of the artillery, but could do little owing to ill-health. It is not known
how he died.
Charles Dempster, son of Surgeon T. E. Dempster (Bengal establishment)
was born at Buxar. He had fought at Chilianwala and C^ujrat and commanded
the west Battery. He was shot in the siege.
Burnett Ashburner, son of W. P. Ashburner of Westbury in Van Diemen's
Land, was born at Longford in the same country in 1829. He was sent out on a
reconnaissance on the 7th June, and never returned.
St. George Ashe, son of Major B. Ashe of the Bengal Army was born at Sita-
pur in 1830. He had seen service in Burma. He had brought his guns from
Lucknow : he was killed whilst pushing off Vibart's boat.
John Alexander Haldane Eckford, son of Col. J. Eckford, 6th N. I., was born
at Jaunpur in 1832, He commanded the S. E. battery, with Lieutenants Burney
and Dela Fosse and was killed by a round short in the siege.
I could not trace Burney and Macaulay. The former was killed in Vibart's
boat : the latter signalized himself by the most unremitting attentions to the
wounded men in the out post. He was captured in Vibart's boat at Sheorajpur
and murdered. For Martm and Sotheby, cf. Nos. 438 and 436.
" Slaney," should read " Slane," for which it is a nickname. My informant
is a soldier in charge of the church who has private information on the subject.

joined the service in 1842. He was educated at Addiscombe. He had seen ser-
vice in the Sutlej campaign and was killed in Vibart's boat.
Swynfen Charles Jervis, son of Capt. W. Jervis, B. N. I., was born at Neemuch
in 1830. He '* always scorned to run," and was shot whilst calmly walking across
the open in the midst of a shower of bullets." For the officers of the 32nd, see No,
440. I could not trace Lieutenant Saunders. He was captured in Vibart's boat.
George Julius Glanville, son of F. Glanville, late Grenadier Guards, was born
m 1831 at St. German's in Cornwall and was educated at Bedford Grammar
school. He commanded a detachment in Barrack No. 2, and was killed in
Vibart's boat.]

[Edward Vibart, son of Col. Vibart, H. M. service, was born in 1807 and
joined the service in 1825. He had fought at Ghazni and Punniar, and com-
manded the Redan. He was the Jast man to leave the entrenchments. His was
the only boat that escaped. For its capture see preliminary note. He was
wounded on the 28th June, and probably died of his wounds.

I could not trace Dr. Boyes. He and his wife were both taken prisoners
in Vibart's boat, and shot on the 30th June ; the wife refused to leave her
husband, the sepoys could not separate them, and both were shot together — one
of the most touching incidents in the Cawnpore story.

the glory wh eh shall be revealed in us."
[The 32nd Cornwall Light Infantry, now the 1st Battalion Duke of Corn-
wall's Light Infantry, have the Indian honours of " Punjab," " Multan," " Guj-
rat " and " Lucknow." They were in all the Lucknow operations and bore the
brunt of the heavy fighting in the trenches both there and at Cawnpore. They
also were at Dettmgen, in the Peninsula, at Waterloo, and in S. Africa. Of the
officers mentioned : —
Colonel Berkeley — il8181858'. — He was the second son of General Sir G.
Berkeley, and great grandson ot the fourth Earl of Berkeley, a very ancient
family dating back to Robert Fitzharding, circa no. 1160, He was formerly in
the Scots Fusilier Guards and died on the " Simla " off Sc cotra. He was Deputy
Adjutant-General and Military Secretary to Sir J. Outram ; " be displayed
remarkable activity and intelligence," and did good service all ihrcugh the Luck-
now operations. He was severely wounded, in a charge of Hodson's Horse at
the Alumbagh on the 25th February. He was reported for honourable mention.
Colonel Case — Was killed at Chinhat. It appears that he protested against
immediate attack on the ground that the men were not ready, i.e., had not res-
ted or had their breakfasts. When the retreat began Captain Bassano, of the
32nd, wanted to bring him away, but Case refused ; and when he persisted,
" issued his last command — ' Leave me, Sir, and rejoin your company.' "
Captain Steevens. — Took oommand when Colonel Case was killed and also
lost his life at Chinhat.
Captain Moore. — Was the life and soul of the Cawnpore defence. A tall
genial Irishman, he was wounded early in the siege, but he went about with hia
arm in a sling, doing his duty. He carried out one daring and successful sally.
" He was cheerful and animated to the last and inspired all around him with a
share of his wonderful endurance and vivacity." He was killed in Yibart's boat
Cawnporb. 1'28
on the 27th June. Mrs, Moore " sometimes came across with him to onr barrack
and we fitted up a little hut for her, made of bamboo, and covered over with
canvas ; there she would sit for hours, bravely bearing the absence of her hus-
band while he was gone on some perilous enterprise."
Mrs. Moore, Lieutenants Wainwright and Hill and their families were also
killed at Cawnpore.
Captain Mansfield was A. D. C. to General W. R. Mansfield (afterwards Lord
Sandhurst), Sir Cohn's Chief-of the Staff. He was severely wounded at the
taking of ihe Subadar's tank in the 4th battle of Cawnpore on the 6th December.
(It does not however seem clear whether this officer or another Captain Mans-
field is meant. The only Captain J. W. Mansfield given in Forrst is the above :
but his regiment is not mentioned. There is another Captain Mansfield of the
32nd whose initials are not given, who died of cholera at Lucknow on the 13th
September.)
Captain W. Power was shot in the front verandah of the Residency on the
2nd July and died of his wounds on the 10th August. He was son of George
Power, a member of His Majesty's Council, St. Vincent, who was a younger son
of Sir John Power of Tullamaine, Co. Tipperary.
Captain McCabe did excellent service all through the defence of the Resi-
dency. He had won his commission at Multan where he was the first man to
plant the British flag. He led a sally on the 20Lh August against Johannes'
House and another soon after Havelock's arrival. He was killed in a sortie on
the 29ih September, his fourth sortie according to Rees, who places him second
only to Fulton among the defenders of the Residency ^cf. No. 958).
Lieutenant Joly had been absent on leave from his regiment and had joined
the 78th Highlanders. He was wounded at the storming of the Alumbagh and
died soon after in the Residency.
Lieutenants Thomson and Brackenbury were both killed at Chinhat. Lieu-
tenant Webb did his best to stop the retreat at that battle — " his face black
with gunpowder and the peak of his cap shot ofi, he made himself hoarse with
shouting to the men to halt." He was killed by an 18 pounder in Gubbins'
compound on the 28th August. Ensign Studdy was wounded in the arm by a
round shot in the Residency ; he suflered amputation " which, as usual, proved
fatal : " he died on the 9th August. Lieutenant Charlton was shot through the
head at the Residency on the 13th July, but Gubbins says he was not killed.
The musket ball hit him in the back of the head and lodged in the brain : and
nine months later it showed itself at the aperture and was removed in England,
Whether the inscription or Gubbins is in error, or Lieutenant Charlton died
after the operation, is not clear] .

Bensley Thornhill, Judge of Fatehgarh, Mary his wife, and their
two children, killed July 15th, 1857.
" Thoiigh he slay me yet will 1 trust in Him."
[Cf. No. 385-425. R. B. Thornhill was the son of J. Thornhill, B.C.S.,
and a Director of the E.I.C. He was born at Great Stanmore in 1818, educated
at Addiscombe (he was originally intended for the army) and Haileybury (1853-
6) and arrived in India m the latter year. He served in Jessore, Allahabad,
Agra, Budaun, Meerut, Farrukhabad, Cawnpore, Muzafiarnagar, Mainpuri and
Banda.
He was one of the Thornhill's, eight of whom were "Bensley Thornhill,"
who served in the G S. R.B. rhornhill's grandfather was a Cudbfcrt Thornhill, in
all probability the Cudbert Thornhill who was known as the 18th century Sind-
bad ; he had lived in Calcutta long before 1756, and escaped the Black Hole by
fleemg to Fulta. From 1785 to 1808 he was master attendant at Calcutta. His
son John Thornhill was born there in 1773 ; this was R. B. Thornhill's father.
Other Bensley Thornhill's were John, first in the China service of the E.I.C. and
then in the B.C.S. (born 1808); hia mother's name was Henrietta Sarah Thornhill ;
Cudbert (born 1820), Secretary to Government at Agra in the Mutiny ; Mark,
126 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
(born 1826), Magistrate of Muttra in the mutiny; Henry, (born 1826),
Peputy Commissioner of Sitapur, where he was killed in the mutiny. These
three, with R B. Thornhill, were also sons of John Thornhill and Henriette
Philippine, his second wife. J. B. Thornhill No. 883 and E. B. Thornhill
(born 1834) were sons of J. B. Thornhill above mentioned. They also served
in the mutiny ; so that six Bensley Thornhill's — four brothers and two nephews
of theirs — were all serving in the mutiny in this province together. Besides
them, a " relative " of John Thornhill's named George, son of Thomas
Thornhill, was also in the C. S. Mr. A. H. Bensley has informed me that the
origin of the name Bensley was this. Robert Bensley the actor on retiring
from the stage made his home with the Thornhill's, and as his cousin
Sir W. Bensley was a Director of the E.I.C., their careers were naturally
turned India-wards. As a matter of fact this was only an additional cause : for
the family was always Anglo-Indian, and their father himself was in the B.C.S.
However it was Sir W. Bensley who nominated John Thornhill the father ;
though all his sons as well as G, Thornhill were nominated by himself (save in
one case where the son was nominated by his father's executor.) Of the younger
generation, J. B. Thornhill was nominated by H. St. G. Tucker and E. B. Thorn-
hill by J. C. Whiteman.]

of Calcutta. Captain Sir William Peel, R. N., K.C.B., was
born in Stanhope-street, Mayfair, on the 2nd November 1824,
and died at Cawnpore on the 27th April 1858.
Will am Peel was brd ton of Sir Roben Peel (1«24-1858). He entered the
Navy in 1838 and baw service in the Mediterranean, China, the Pacific, N. America
and W. Indies. He became Post-Capiain m 1849. He was the author of " A
Ride through the Nubian Desert" (1852). He won his V. C and the C. B. at
Sebastopol with the Naval Brigade, When in command of H, M S. Shannon
he look a Naval Brigade up country, with ten 8-inch guns. He was at the battle
of Khujwa where on the death of Col. Powell, he assumed command : at the
2nd relief of Lucknow, at ihe assaults on the Martiniere, Shah Najaf and
Kaisarbagh, where he " behaved very much as if he had been laying the Shannon
alongside an enemy's frigate," bringing his guns up to a few yards of the
building. He was also at the 4th battle of Cawnpore and at the siege of
Lucknow, where he was wounded, but not dangerously, in the thigh. A
carriage was prepared for him but he preferred to use a doolie " like one of hia
bluejackets." This had apparently been used by a small-pox patient; he
caught the disease and died on the 27th April at Cawnpore. •' The loss of hia
daring but thoughtful nature joined with eminent abihiies is a very heavy one
to his country : but it is not to be more deplored than the loss of that influence
which his earnest character, admirable temper, and gentle, kindly bearing
exercised on all within his reach." So ran the proclamation issued after
his death : these sonorous phrases state no more than the simple fact that ho
was a flue specimen of a British sailor.

The Peel family is of considerable antiquity. It dates back to Robert
Peel of Hole House, who died in 1G08. The first baronet was Sir Robert Peel
(1750-1830) and M. P. for Tamworth from 1790-1818. His son the Right
Honourable Sir Robert Peel, father of Sir Wlliam (1788-1850) was the celebrated
orator and statesman. Of his five eons four attained considerable distinction,
viz., Sir Robert Peel, P.O.. G.C.B., M.P., Chief Secretary for Ireland (1801-65) :
Sir Frederick Peel, P.C. K.C.M.G., M.P., Sir William Peel, and Arthur Wellesley
first Viscount Peel, Speaker from 1884 to 1895. The present baronet is also
Sir Robert.]

460. -1857-- MISSIONARIES of the S. P. G. Inscription :— To
the Glory of God. In memory of W. H. Haycock, Priest, and Henry
Edwin Cockey, Deacon, of the S. P. G. Mission to Cawnpore ; also
of M. J. Jennings, Priest, Chaplain, founder of the S. P. G. Mission
to Delhi; also of Alfred Roots Hubbard, Priest, and Daniel Corrie
Sandys, Cateehist, and Louis Koch, Catechist, of the S. P. G.
Mission to Delhi. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
in Foreign Parts dedicates this memorial of its brethren who
glorified God by their deaths in the Mutiny of 1857.
" Here is the Laiicnce and the Faith of the Saints." {Also in Urdu.)
[The S. P. G. Mission in Delhi was founded by the Eevd. Midgely John
Jennings, a chaplain of the E. L C, in 1850. A Fellow of Christ's College, Cam-
bridge, he had accepted an Indian chaplaincy in 1832. He had long dreamed of
a mission in Delhi, but it was not till 1851 that he was stationed there. Next
year occurred the conversion of Eam Chandra, a Kayasth professor of the Delhi
College, and a leading Hindu of Delhi ; and also of Chimman Lai, Assistant Sur-
geon in the Delhi Hospital. Mr. Jennings now felt justified in pressing for
help from England. The S. P. G. at once agreed, and sent out the Revd. S.
Jackaou and the Revd. A. R. Hubbard, By 1856 the mission had made
ClWNPORS. 129
considerable progress and was contemplating an extension to Eurki. But in 1867
the Mutiny burst. Mr. Jennings and his daughter were murdered in the palace
whilst attending to the wounds of Mr. Hutchinson, the Collector, and Captain
Douglas, Commandant of the Palace Guards. Miss Clifford, Mr. Hubbard, Mr.
Sandys and Mr. Koch were also all murdered that day, as were Chimman Lai
and Wilayat Masih, the chief convert of the Baptist Mission. The Delhi Mission
had been completely swept away. But only for a time ; special efforts were made
at home to restore it. In October 1857 the Revd. T. Skelton, Fellow of Queen's
College Cambridge, offered his services for the purpose ; he was succeeded in 18C0
by the Revd, R. R, Winter. In 1877 was started the Cambridge Mission, which
was amalgamated with it.
It is now one of the most successful and largest missions in India. Its
work is many-sided. It has many small " bastis " or settlements of Indian
Christians in and around Delhi. It has branches at Eohtak, Karnal, Riwari
and Gurgaon, St. Stephen's College and St. Stephen's High School both belong
to it : it has long possessed a fully equipped hospital (also St. Stephen's) and a
new one is now being built, St. Mary's Home and the Victoria Boarding School
for girls are some of its institutions for women. It has two churches in Delhi
besides others elsewhere. Among its famous names are those of Mr. Skelton,
Prebendary of Lincoln, Mr. Whitley, later Bishop of Chota Nagpur, Mr. Bickers-
teth, afterwards Bishop of Japan, Mr. G. A. Lefroy, Bishop of Lahore. The
mission founded by Jennings and " baptized in his blood ' ' has grown and
flourished.
The S. P. G, Mission at Cawnpore is considerably older than the sister
Mission at Delhi, and was a well-established institution at the time of the
Mutiny. In 1853 Mr. Haycock was one of the Revd. H. Sells' assistants, but in
1857 Mr. Sells went home ill, and Mr., (by then the Revd.) W. H. Haycock was in
charge, with Messrs. Willis and Cockey, both students of Bishop's College, to
assist him. Mr. Willis had to go to Calcutta to be ordained and so it fell out that
only Messrs. Haycock and Cockey were left to go into the entrenchments. Of
Mr. Haycock little appears to be recorded. I found a tomb at Agra in the Protes-
tant cemetery to a child of a W. H, Haycock, which makes it pobsible that at one
time, previous to his ordination, he was in Agra. At the time of the Mutiny his
wife had died, and his children were at school in the Himalayas : they were after-
wards supported and educated in England by the S. P. G. How he died is uncer-
tain. One account is that he was killed on the 7th June by one of the first shots
as he was entering the entrenchments. But Mowbray Thomson says : "He (the
Revd. Mr. Haycock) had been accustomed to bring out his aged mother every
evening into the verandah for a short relief from the fetid atmosphere within the
barrack walls : the old lady was at length severely wounded, and her acute suffer-
ings overcame the son's reason, and he died." It is a good instance of the uncert-
ainty which hangs over the fates of so many of the Cawnpore victims — in one case
a quick and merciful death : in the other as horrible a death as could be devised —
and authority for both views. Of Mr. Cockey, Mowbray Thomson says that he
remembered his being in the entrenchment, but did not know how he met his
death ; the only statement on the point I have been able to find is that of Mrs.
Bradshaw, the wife of a musician, who said she saw Mr. Moncrieff and two other
clergymen, one of whom was the R. C. Padre, the Revd. J. Rooney, at the boats
on the 27th June. " We saw the clergyman take out a book ; we did not see him
read it, for a sowar rode into the water and cut him down. . . .He then killed the
Padre, and the other, who was a missionary." The S. P. G. account states,,
however, that some witnesses attribute this reading to Mr. Cockey. The book was
a prayer book : the part of it read the Burial Service. At all events, it seems clear
that Mr. Cockey was killed with Messrs. Moncrieff and Rooney by a sowar of the
2nd B. C. at the boats.
As at Delhi so at Cawnpore, the mission grew stronger after the Mutiny thaa
it ever was before. In 1858 the Revd. W. Willis returned, to find the mission ia
ruins. But in 1860 Christ Church was restored and handed over to the S. P. G.,
as a mission church : the first incumbent wiis the Revd. S. B. BurrelL In 1860
Mr. Willis left and the mission was joined by the Revd. J. R. Hill (now at Banda
and to whom I am indebted for the material for this note). Christ Church
College, with four schools, St. Martin's Home, the Orphanage of the Epiphany
for girls, the Deaconess* Home, the Women's Missionary Association Hospital
the Poorhouse, are some of the institutions belonging to the mission. Fatehgarb^

464.—- (Uncertain) — SMITH, Lieutenant. Inscription : — Sacred to the
memory of Lieutenant Smith of the Bengal European Regiment,
who was killed in action on the Frontiers.
[This tomb is said to be over a hundred years old. I have looked through
Dodwell and Miles and other lists, but have failed to identify this Lieutenant
Smith. " Lieutenant Smith " without initials or date of death, would seem as
elusive as the proverbial needle in a haystack : but I have discovered the following
facts. Working on the supposition that the tomb belongs to the latter end of
the 18th century, we find that the B. E. Regiment was stationed at Cawnpore from
1796 onwards ; and was concerned in two small expeditions from that station in
1797 and 1798. The former was directed to putting Saadat Ali on the throne of
Oudh, the latter against Zeman Shah. In a list of the officers of the B. E.
Begiment of 1796, there is no Smith given ; so that this ofiicer, if he died in
either of these expeditions, must have been killed almost as soon as he joined
the Begiment. If the tomb is rather older than 1796, Dodwell and Miles offers
two possibilities, one Thomas Smith died 1783, one John Smith died 1789 : but
there was no fighting round Cawnpore at the time, so far as is known to me, and
there is nothing to show that either was in the B. E. Regiment. On the other hand,
if the tomb is rather later than 1796, we find two Lieutenants named Smith in the
B. E. Regiment in 1804— James and John R. Smith, who joined it in 1798 and
1800 ; and of course at this time there was plenty of fighting of all sorts, from
Cawnpore. 131

the most perfect integrity and honour, departed this life on the 20th

ardour and high sense of duty which led him but a few weeks before
under great bodily sufferings and in very severe weather, to manifest
his professional skill and fortitude at thesiege and capture of Hathras.
[John Horsford (1757-1817), son of John Horsford, educated at Merchant
Taylor's and St. John's, Oxford (fellow 1768-71) was destined for the church, but
enlisted in the E. I. C.'s Artillery under the name of John Rover to escape that
career (1772). His identity was discovered by Colonel T. D.Pearse in 1778 and
he was given a commission. He served in Mysore, (1790-1) at Bangalore, Arikera
and Seringapatam, and at a later date under Lake, commanding the artillery
at Aligarh, Dehli, Agra, Dig and Bhurtpore, always with great distinction. He
became captain in 1786, major in 1801, Lieutenant-Colonel in 1804 (Brevet-Major

Colonel Commandant 1810, Major-General 1813. He received his K. C. B. in 1817.

Ram, a rebellious zamindar ; he died a few days after the reduction, of ossification
of the heart. He never had a day's leave in 45 years' service, and is a fine
example of the older race of Anglo-Indian worthies.]

[Robert Tudor Tucker, cousin of Colonel Tudor Tucker, killed at Fatehgarh
(No. 385,) was the son of H. St. G Tucker, B. C. S., born at Edinburgh in 1817.
He was educated at Addiscombe and Haileybury and came to India in 1836.
He had served at Patna, Etawah, Agra, Azamgarh. Ghazipur, Benares and
Aligarh. He was at this time Judge at Fatehpur, and was the life of the Fateh-
pur defence. When the rest abandoned a certainly untenable position and made
their way to Banda he remained at his post, and kept the rebels at bay from
the top of the cutcherry. It was not till he had killed some 14 of his assailants
that he was slain. He was a devout Christian, whose epitaph sums up both his
life and his death. " It is impossible not to admire, how far it may be regretted,
the heroic devotion of the late Mr. Tucker : nor is it much a matter of wonder
that his conduct and his personal prowess actually succeeded in preserving, for a
few hours longer, some show of order. Mr. Tucker by his earnest and open pro-
fession of religion, and by his unbounded pecuniary liberality had commanded
the respect, if not the afiection, of a large number of the inhabitants of the city,
and when the excited mob returned in triumphant procession from his slaughter,
two Hindus of the town stood out before them and reviled them as the murderers
of a just and holy man ; it is scarcely necessary to add that they immediately
shared his fate."]

did arrive he found that everybody had gone, and he was murdered at the Nawab
of Banda' s gate. The Nawab, if he did not actually instigate the murder, took
no steps to stop it as he could easily have done. He was the son of the Reverend
H. Cockerell of Northweald, Epping, and was born in 1831. He was educated
at Marlborough and Haileybury and came to India in 1853.]

N. B. v., who was mortally wounded at the assault of the
heights of Ragauli, Janry. 22nd, and died February 2nd 1809,
aged 24 years. This monument was erected by the officers of the
corps as a mark of respect and esteem for his exemplary valor and
virtnes.
[The tomb is at Ragauli in Tahsil Girwan. In December 1878 the
inscription was lost but the zamindars afterwards recovered it. It was
removed to the Church ; those that follow come from the old cemetery.
When the officers of Shamsher Bahadur surrendered their fortresses Ajaigarh
should have been amongst them ; but Lachman Dowa, a zamindar se ,;;ed it
and it was necessary to send a column against him under Lieutenant- Colonel
Martindell. He found the enemy posted on the heights of Ragauli in a very
strong position, from which they were only driven at the cost of one officer
and 28 men killed and two officers and 115 men wounded. Ajaigarh was captured
on the 13th February. Of Lieutenant Jamieson Pogson writes that he was shot
through both thighs. " Honorable, upright and accomplished, he possessed
the esteem of all who knew him," writes Pogson, and quotes the " Vicar of
Wakefield : " "Go and if you fall, though distant, exposed, and unwept by those
that love you — the most precious tears are those with which heaven bedews
the tomb of a soldier."]
William Jamison (so Dodwell and Miles) was the son of J. Jamison, mer-
chant at Glasgow, and was born in 1784. He joined the service in 1803.J

the defeat of the insurgents by Major- General Whitlock's field
division and intered in this spot on the 9th May 1858.
[The Mutiny in Banda began with an insurrection in certain villages of the
district, ia Parganas Baberu, Mau and Darsenda (now Kamasin). This was in
early June ; but Banda remained quiet after the district had gone. In Banda
was a detachment of the 1st N. I. The Fatehpur fugitives reached Banda
on the 8th June ; and on the same day the English took refuge with the
Nawab of Banda, Ali Bahadur. About the 14th the sepoys showed signs of
disaffection, as d:d the jail guard and najibs. An attempt was made to suppress
them with the assistance of the Nawab's forces, but it failed : for the Nawab's
forces were even more rebellious than the sepoys. They joined the sepoys and all
broke into open mutiny. The English managed to escape to Nagode. On the
15th June Mr. Cockerell, who had refused to leave Karwi and had preserved the
tahsili and treasure, rode into Banda with the latter and was killed at the
Nawab's gateway (cf. No. 489). On the 16th Mr. Bruce, in charge of the Nawab's
villages, his mother. Captain Benjamine, commanding the Nawab's guards, his
wife and her brother, Mr. Lloyd (all Eurasians) were discovered in the house of
an old Arab named Maghribi Sahib. They were murdered by the retainers of
the Nawab : their bodies were flung into a field.]

515.— 1812— MACMANUS, J. Inscription :— To the memory of
James MacManus, late of H. M.'s 8th or K. R. I. L. Drgs., who
died 12th Febry. 1812, aged 29 years.
[This tomb is in a cemetery in Manipur, an " island " village of native state
territory about 2 miles north of Kalinjar. It contains twenty one tombs of which
two are rather larger than the rest : one of the nineteen has the above inscrip-
tion. It is undoubtedly the cemetery of those that fell in the siege of Kalinjar in
1812.
Kalinjar is a famous old fort at the south-east extremity of the
Bundelkhand plain on a hill 1,230 feet above sea level, with steep and in the upper
part almost perpendicular sides. It is mentioned as a famous place in the Maha-
hharata and its authentic history dates back to the early Chandels who made it
their capital and the " King of Kalinjar " is mentioned as early as 978 A. D. It was
attacked successively by Muhammad Ghori (1202 A. D.), Humayun (1530 A. D.),
Sher Shah (1554 A. D.) and others. It was held first by Musalmans and then by
Baghels and finally gave name to a sir ^flr in the time of Akbar. It was subse-
quently taken by the Bundelas and passed first to Hardeo Sah of Panna, and
then to the Chaubes, of whom one was Kiledar (Kaimji). At the time of the
British occupation it was still held by his descendants. One of them was confirmed
in his possession of Kalinjar. He, however, ignored the British rule: Kalinjar
became a mere resort of outlaws and plunderers ; m 1812 it was decided to capture
it. The force assembled under Colonel Martindell consisted of a squadron of the
8th Light Dragoons (now 8th K. R. I. Hussars), five companies of the 53rd (now
Shropshire L. I.), six battalions of Native Infantry and four squadrons of Native
Cavalry Guns were pulled up a hill 78G feet high (a tremendous feat on a Bundel-
khand hill) and the investment was commenced on the 18th January. It was
bombarded : and on the 1st February the breach was reported practicable. But the
wall which had been breached was on an abrupt cliff which had to be scaled ; and
this was found impossible. The losses were heavy. Captain Fraser and Lieutenant
Nice of the 53rd were killed : the regiment also lost 16 men killed, and 10 ofl&cers
and 114 men wounded ; the total loss was about 200. Next day, however, the
Chaubes offered to surrender and evacuated the fort on the 13th February.
The larger tombs are doubtless those of the two officers.] .

In memory of "William Evans, Chief Engineer, and Charles
Limuel, Resident Engineer, who were murdered bj rebels at
Entowah near the 8Uth milestone from Allahabad on the 26th
February 1859.
[From enquiries made in the neighbourhood, the following facts were
discovered. No such place as " Entowah " is known. There is however a v:llage
called Itwan which would be about 80 miles from Allahabad ; and this is un-
doubtedly the place meant, as an old map, which spells the word in this way,
proves. An old man in Man^kpur stated that one Ranwant Singh, a Baghel Thakur
of Rewah, remained in arms for a considerable period, and murdered some English-
men both at Itwan and Kasauli (in Rewah state). He also stated that he could
remember the body of an Englishman being brought from Itwan and buried in
Manikpur, but does not remember his name. As Itwan is close to the railway
Ime (East Indian Railway) it is possible that these gentlemen were ra:lway
Engineers.]

517.— 1818— WAUCHOPE, J. Inscripiion .-—Sacred to the
memory of John Wanchope, ^ Esquire, of Niddrie, 2 near Edinburgh,
Collector of Bundelkhand 1809 and 1810 A.D., and Judge of
Bundelkhand in 1818 A. D. He successfully exei*ted himself to gain
affections, 3 and promote the happiness of those over whom he was
placed, and supported by his personal condict and character the
honour and interests of Government by whom his valuable services
have been frequently and most honourably acknowledged. Mr.
Wanchope* was of the ancient family of Neddery^ near Edinburgh,
and he departed this life at Kalingar* on the 12th August 181(S, in
the 36th year of his age.
[The tomb of John Wauchope is situated within the Fort at Kahnjar. (For
some account of the fort vide no. 493). The present inscription is a restoration,
and not a very intelligent one, as the obvious errors prove. The original
inscription was considerably longer and was defaced when a Sikh regiment
was stationed at Kalinjar. Fiihrer reproduces its remains: it will be seen that
the major part of the present epitaph (from" he successfully" to the end)
was only the final part of the old epitaph.

ing a " the " before " affections," reading " respectfully " for " frequently " and
spelling " Wauchope," " Niddrie " and *' Kalinjar " correctly.)
Conjecture as to the exact phraseology is immaterial : sufficient remains to
show that the epitaph was of the long and stately kind common at the period.
John Wauchope is celebrated firstly for his settlement of the Bundelkhand
revenue : and secondly for his political achievements.

As regatds the fitst he was given instructions of a nature that were bound to
result in, and actually produced, an enhancement of not less than ii9 per cent.
Good seasons made it possible to collect it, and Mr. Wauchope obtained, of
course, great credit for his settlement. He was collector of Bundelkhand from
1808 to 1810, and after two years at Allahabad, returned as judge and magistrate
of Bundelkhand with political powers (1812). In 1813 he became Su£erintendent
of Political aiiairs and Agent to the Governor General in Bundelkhand and in
June 1818, Agent to ihe Governor General in Rohilkhand and Saugor. During
this interval, he made engagements with Gobind Kao of Jalaun (1817), Eao Eam
Chand of Jhansi (1817), and the Eajas of Datia (1818), Sampl bar (1817), and
Orcha (1812) ; and finally with the Rani of Saugor. The sole treaty chiefs in
Bundelkhand at the present day are Datia, Sampthar and Orcha ; the rest hold
under sanads and ikrarnamas. It is curious that this epitaph should wrongly
assert that Wauchope was Judge of Bundelkhand in 1818, and omit all references
to his political posts. It was probably mentioned in the old inscription, if from
the fragments of the first two lines preserved by Fiihrer, we may conjecture
•* Age(nt for political affairs) in Bu(ndelkhand.)"
John Wauchope was the son of Andrew Wauchope of Niddrie, and Alice
Baird, his wife, born m 1781 at Herdmanston and arrived in India in 1800. To
this fam ly belongs Major-General Andrew Wauchope, killed at Magersfontein in
1899. The family, now extinct in the male line after a life of over 5 centuries,
dates back to 1380 ; the Wauchope'a were hereditary Bailies to the Keiths,
Marischals of Scotland, afterwards Earl Marischals. From them shey obtained
the lands of Niddrie Marischal. (Cadell sneers at the reliance placed by the Board
on Mr. Wauchope's " local knowledge " of Bundelkhand, which he bupposes had
been acquired "in a few months." He was apparently unaware that Mr.
Wauchope had already served in lower grades for two years in Bundelkhand
(1805 — 7) and doubtless possessed his fair share of " local knowledge.")]

618.— 1865 -BUYERS, W., Revd. Inscription :— ^a^Qred. to the
memory of the Revd. W.- Buyers, for 30 years missionary in India,
who died near this place on the 4th October 1865, aged 63 years.
" I have waited for thy salvation, 0 Lord
** Grata quies patria sed et omuis terra sepulcrum."
[Wilham Buyers (1804-186G) was born at Dundee. He studied at the Mis-
sionary College, Hoxton, and was appointed to Benares. He was ordained in 1831
at Woolwich. He arrived in Calcutta in October 1831 and at Benares in January
1832. In 1833 he married Eliza Anne Walker, of Aberdeen. In 1840 he took sick
leave to England where he arrived in 1841. He returned to India in June and
arrived in Benares in September 1843. At the end of 1845 he was again com-
pelled to go home on account of ill-health. It was not thought advisable to send
him out again : but he returned at his own expense to Benares, leaving Mrs. Buyers
at home. In 1850 he was re-engaged by the L. M. S. and Mrs. Buyers and her
family rejoined him. Mrs. Buyers died at Benares in 1857 ; there is a tablet to
her in the L. M. S. Church there. In 1859 Mr. Buyers went to Almora, remain-
ing there from 1859 to 1861, when he returned to Benares. In 1863 he resigned
his connection with the Society and died at Unchadih in 1868. Unchadih is a
jungle village near the line of ra;l. At one time it was a railway settlement and
possessed a station, marks of which, and of various bungalows, still remain. The
tomb, which is actually inside the railway fencing, close to the metals and also to
the old station, was erected by the Rev. W. Buyers' son, who was a railway
Engineer.]

520.— 1833-SINCLAIR, P. C, Captain the Hon. Inscription ;—
This stone is sacred to the memory of the Honorable Patrick
Campbel] Sinclair, Brevet Captain in the 7Cth Regiment, N. I., who
died at this place on the ISth March 1834, in the 34th year of his
age. Erected in grateful affection by his afflicted widow. (B. 0.)
[This tomb is not now traceable .-o far as I have been able to discover, and
the inscription is taken from Fiihrer. As he only gives the cemetery as " Banda
cemetery " and there are several cemeteries at Banda the task of discovery is
made none the easier. This officer is undoubtedly the 4th son of Sir James
Sinclair, 7th baronet of JNley and 12th Earl of Caithness : he married Isabella, a
daughter of Major-General M'Gregor. He was appointed cadet in 1817, ensign
in 1818 and lieutenant in 1825. The family is exceedingly ancient. Sir James
was descended from George Sinclair of Mey, Chancellor of the Diocese of
Caithness, and third son of the 4th Earl of Caithness. The first Earl of
Caithness in this family was William Sinclair, Earl of Orkney and Chancellor of
Scotland, who exchanged the Earldom of Orkney and the Lordship of Nithsdale
for the Earldom of Caithness and the lands and castle of Ravenscraig in Fife.
Before th.s the Earldom of Caithness was held, as far back as the 11th century,
by the Norse Earls of Orkney, who held Orkney from the King of Norway and
Caithness from the King of Scotland : it subsequently passed to the Earls of
Angus and of Strathern respectively ; then to the Crown, the Stewarts, the
Crichtons and the Smclairs in succession. The Sinclair Earls of Caithness are
descended from the Sinclair's of Rosslyn, one of whom (great-grandfather of the
j&rst Earl) married Isabella, daughter of Malise, Earl of Strathern, Caithness
and Orkney. It is a far cry from the Scottish and Norse Earls of the 11th
century and from Caithness and Orkney to this forgotten tomb of the 19th
century in Banda. When it is added that the present Earl's residence is given
as North Dakota, U. S. A., the " ship under sail or, for Caithness," which appears
in the family's arms seems peculiarly appropriate.]

[One result of British policy as regards the Bundelkhandi chiefs was the
establishment of several cantonments in different places — Kail ha, Supa, Kalpi,
Tarauhan, Kartal, Kunch and Banda. The relations between the British Govern-
ment and the treaty states — Rewah., Orchha, Datiya and Samthar — were based on
friendship and protection against the Marathas: of the other, or sanad, chiefs
many held lands included in the assignment of 36 lakhs of revenue ceded by the
Peshwa under the Treaty of Bassein. It was a fundamental principle of British
politics to confirm such chiefs in the possession of such possession of such part
of their territories as they held under Ali Bahadur's government, on condition of
their fidelity to the British power. Some merely marauding chiefs were also so
confirmed, with a view to pacifying the country. This explains the large number
of states and small jagirs in this part of India. There are some 28 such states
besides others that have lapsed, the best known being (besides the four already
mentioned) Panna, Charkari and Ajaigarh. Obviously to keep the peace amongst
all these states, many of them used to a state of continual warfare, troops and
cantonments were necessary : such cantonments have already been met with at
Banda and will be found subsequently at Kalpi and Kunch. Kaitha was a can-
tonment from 1812 to 1828, which explains the majority of these tombs.]

2nd July A. D. 1831, aged 1 year, 6 months and 18 days. Most
deeply lamented.
[Sir J. J. Digges LaTouche has kindly given me the following information
about the members of the LaTouche family. " All these LaTouches," he writes,
" are descended from a Huguenot who left France on the revocation of the Edict
of Nantes, fought at the Battle of the Boyne as a lieutenant under King
William HI and settled in Dublin, He was called David Digues de LaTouche
and had two sons ; the eldest dropped the ' Digues,' the younger son, James, angli-
c'zed the name into Digges LaTouche. Cornwallis LaTouche (cf. No. 792) was the
brother of William LaTouche of Bellevue, Co. Wicklow, whose widow is still alive.
He and Peter LaTouche {who lies buried in the Almora cemetery, No. 847) and
also Captain LaTouche belong to the elder branch.
William Digges LaTouche (No. 435) who was killed in the massacre at
Cawnpore was first cousin of my father and a brother of Henry D. LaTouche who
in 1868 came out as a railway Engineer and built the bridge over the Chambal.
He then went to south India and retired, and died at Ross in Herfordshire some
years ago, William was not married. The name of the man killed at Cawnpore
is. I think, correctly given on the windows of the Memorial Church at Cawnpore
as William Digges LaTouche, (Also in No, 435 ; it is incorrectly given in the
tablet No, 42'i). There were also a number of LaTouehes (not Digges) on the
Bombay side "
It is clear from Burke that this Captain LaTouche is the Peter LaTouche
buried at Almora ; the dates in Dodwcll and Miles also support this view.
Burke mentions the death of Mrs, Frances LaTouche and her son Cecil,
giving the dates, and stating that they died at Kaitha. She was daughter of
Brigadier-General W, G. Maxwell, C. B,, of Dalswinton, Dumfries, and married
Peter LaTouche in 1829. His second wife was Fraulein Ellen Bestandig, of
Gottingen,]

Origin and History of the People of India." Sir William Mnir, the youngest, held
many important posts both in the North-Western Provinces and the Government
of India and was Lieutenant-Governor of the North-Western Provinces from
1868-1874:, Finance member from 1874-76, member of the Indian Council 1876-
1885, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Edinburgh University 1885-1902, and
author of many books, mostly on Islam. Four of his sons also served in India —
the eldest : William, in the Artillery and in the Political service retiring as a
Colonel ; the second, John Fairlie, in the Bombay C. S. ; the third, Archibald
Mungo, was first in the Native Cavalry, and then in the Political service, dying as
resident at Khatmandu : whilst the last Charles Wemyss, served in the Afghan,

of his death he was Assistant Magistrate at Hamirpur.

[These officers and the men mentioned in the next inscription lost their lives
in a war which sprang out of a palace intrigue. On the death of Jankoji Scindia of
Gwalior in 1843 his widow, a girl of 1 2, adopted a boy of 8. Lord Ellenborough
and the girl-queen had rival nominees for regent. Lord Ellenborough 's was
appointed, but the queen dismissed him and handed over the Government to her
own nominee. The Governor General insisted on his dismissal and ordered the
resident to leave Gwahor, but the regent had won over the overgrown GwaUor
Allahabad. 149
army of 40,000 men, and disturbances arose which had to be put down by force.
Sir Hugh Gough fought two battles in one day of which the second was Punniar,
and that was the end of the war. One of its results was the raising of the Gwalior
contingent. The 3rd are now the Buffs (East Kent) Begiment.
It was their 1st battalion who fought at Punniar. They have the four *' Marl-
borough " honours, Dettingen, all the Peninsular honours from the Douro to
Toulouse, Punniar, Sebastopol, Taku Forts, South Africa 1B79, and Chitral. The
old 3rd Fort was raised in 1604 as the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime regiment
of Foot. In 1689, or shortly after, it was incorporated in the 2nd Foot Guards, and
the old 4th (Prince George of Denmark's Regiment) became the 3rd. It was first
called the Buffs in 1708.]

Who were killed in the station and district of Allahabad, between the
6th and 10th days of June 1857, by sepoys of the 6th Regiment,
Native Infantry, and other mutineers and rebels. This monument
is erected by the surviving residents of Allahabad."
[The troops at Allahabad consisted of the 6th Native Infantry, of whom one
company was in the Fort : a wing of the Ferozepore Regiment of Sikhs under Lieu-
tenant Brasier, also in the Fort : two troops of the 3rd Oude Irregulars under
Lieutenant Alexander, divided up into jail and treasury guards and night patrols.
There were also 60 European invalid artillerymen.
150 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
On the 5th June a company of the 6th Native Infantry with two 9 pounders
(under Lieutenants Hicks and Harward) were sent to Daraganj to meet the 13th
Irregulars, supposed to be marching from Benares on Allahabad. This step was
against the views of many : and it was at Daraganj that the mutiny first broke
out. The sepoys seized the guns : Lieutenant Harward galloped off to Lieutenant
Alexander who had some of his cavalry at Alopibagh. He led his men after the
gims and charged them, but was shot through the breast in the volley that met the
charge : only 3 of his men followed him, the rest joined the mutineers. Harward
sent a note to Brasier in the Fort which explained matters : but it did not reach
the others. In the 6th Mess House 17 officers, including 8 unposted cadets, were
assembled, a bugle call sounded in the lines, and the officers hurried there. As
they came up they were shot : 7 officers and 8 cadets were killed. That night 31
Europeans were murdered by the prisoners released from the jail and the city
hadmashes. Brasier with his Sikhs and the Europeans disarmed the company of
the 6th Native Infantry. On the 7th Neill arrived, and at once set about restor-
ing order.
Of the names here mentioned the officers, ensigns and sergeants mentioned
as doing duty with the 6th were killed, except Cheek, in the lines after the
treacherous bugle call. Cheek was wounded and taken prisoner : duraig his
captivity he adjured a fellow prisoner (a Native Christian) not to recant when
pressed to do so. He died in the I'ori alter Neill's troops had rescued the
prisoners. Captain Birch and Lieutenant Innes were two of those who refused
to enter the Fort. The death of Lieutenant Alexander has already been related.
The last four men mentioned were killed in the district, Mr. Thomas and
Mr. Lancaster while trying to escape to Barwari. Mrs. Kyvea was with a party
of railway officers who were besieged for two days on the top of a tank at Barwari
by a mob till relieved by a party of a 3rd Oude Irregulars. Mrs. Eyves died
immediately on being removed from the tank. The details regarding the deaths
of the rest are unknown. In the words of the Mutiny Narrative : " It may be
as well that the details of but few of so many murders are known with
certainty."
John Plunkett (so the services B. A. List) was son of W. Plunkett, Excise
Officer, born in 1816. He joined the army in 1835.

father, father, three uncles, three brothers and a cousin all served in India, the
most distinguished of them being his uncle R. K. Pringle, who was Commis-
sioner of Scinde. This branch of the Pringles (a name which is supposed to be
a corruption of " Pelerin ") dates back to Robert Hop-Pringle, Esquire to James
Earl of Douglas at the battle of Otterburn in 1388.
C. G. Way was son of the Revd. 0. J. Way of Spaynes Hall, Essex, born in
1838. He was educated at Marlborough. The family is a junior branch of the

551.— 1798— HEARSEY, A. W., Lieutenant-Colonel. Inscrip-
tion : — To the memory of Lieutenant-Colonel A. W. Hearsey,
who departed this life on 10th July 1798, aged 46 years. This
monument is erected in token of regard by his affectionate widow
Charlotte Hearsey.
[This tomb is reported to be untraceable now and the inscription is taken
from Fiihrer's list.
The Hearsey family is very ancient. A member of the family, a Cumberland
Squire, was " out in " 1745 for the Pretender at Colloden. One of his sons
was a London merchant ; his second son Andrew had two sons, the younger of
whom, also Andrew, was in command of an East Indiaman. He died in 1778 ;
his son was Andrew Wilson Hearsey. Born in 1752, he entered the service of
the H. E. I. C. in 1765. He fought in 1768 jn the raid from Bengal on the Nor-
then Ciroars, which resulted in their cession to the Compauy. In 1780 he went
with Captain Popham's force which marched to Colonel Goddard's support,
and on the way took the forts of Lahar and Gwalior, the latter supposed
impregnable. After Gwalior Hearsey was recalled and sent with Colonel
Pearse's force down the coast Ime to Madras to assist in its defence against
Haidar Ah. Hearsey was the column's baggage master. Pearse joined Eyre
Coote at Pulioat after Porto Novo, and Hearsey was present at the indecisive
action of PoUilore and the victory of Sholingar. Hearsey was now baggage
master of both armies with over 40,000 camp iollowers under him. At PoUilore
he repulsed three cavalry attacks on the baggage. He was at Vellore and the
fighting round Cuddalore. In 1780 he went to England to support a claim of
his against the Company for certain perquisites, but in vain. He married Misa
Crane in England in 1787. He returned to India, and in 1790 again went with
a Bengal column into Madras. Ho was present at the capt ures of Coimbatore,
Dinnigul and Palaghat : at the battle of Calicut : at the sieges of Bangalore and
Beriugapatam and the battle of Arikera. He became a Major in 1794 — after 29
years' service, most of it in the field I — and Lieutenant-Colonel and first
commandant of the Allahabad Fort in 1797. He had one son, Lieutenant-
General Sir John Bennet Hearsey, of Mutiny fame, and three daughters who
married of&cers in the army.
The Hearseys have long been connected with India. Captain Andrew Hearsey
commanded an East Indiaman : his son was Colonel A. W. Hearsey. By his
marriage with Miss Charlotte Crane (1787) Colonel Hearsey had one son, the
famous Sir J. B. Hearsey, K. C. B., and Lieutenant-General, of Mutiny fame ; and
three daughters :
(1) Mrs. Charlotte Bradshaw, wife of Colonel Paris Bradshaw who did
good service on the Nepal frontier and died in 1821 when on his
way to take up the post of Resident at Lucknow. His son died a
General and a K. H.
152 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
(2) Mrs. Marion Salmon, wife of General W. B. Salmon ;
(3) Mrs. Sophia Hall, wife of Colonel F. Hall, killed in Chili. His son
Colonel J. F. W. D. Hall served in India and was a famous tiger-
slayer.
Sir J. B. Hearsey had a long glorious career, into which I need not now enter.
He married h;s kinswoman Harriet (daughter of Major H. Y. Hearsey) in 1832;
and by her had a family of four sons and three daughters.
(1) John (1833-1863), A. D. C. to his father and with him when he
captured the first mutineer, Mangal Panday : he had a son, John
Hampton who died young (Captain, 2nd V. B. S. Wales Borderers).
(2) Andrew (1839-1896), also A. D. C. to his father in 1857, who served as
a volunteer with Havelock. He married Harriet, daughter of Captain
W. M. Hearsey.
(3) and (4) two other sons who died young (one at Sandhurst ; the other
was in the 19th Hussars.)
(5) Mrs. Harriet Carew, wife of Captain G. 0. B. Carew, C. I. E., of the
late Indian Navy : her daughter married Mr. W. L. Wyllie, A. E. A.
(6) Mrs. Amelia Hearsey, wife of Mr. L. D. Hearsey of Lakhimpur.
Sir J. B. Hearsay's second wife was Miss Emma Rumball and by her
he had two sons : Captain C. J. R. Hearsey, 9th Lancers, killed in
the Afghan war : and C. C. Hearsey of the Indian Marine.
There is also the other branch of Hearseys connected with this branch ; viz.
Major Hyder Young Hearsey, son of Captain H. P. Hearsey, who fought
under both Perron and Thomas : with Lord Lake at Agra, Delhi and Deig, in the
Gurkha war and at Bhurtpore, and explored Chinese Tartary. He married a
Princess of Cambay, sister of Colonel W. L. Gardner's wife. His sons were
Captain W. M. Hearsey, Captain J. B. Hearsey and Hyder Hearsey. All three
were in the Oudh service, and the first two served in the Mutiny, the first at
Lucknow, the second at Sitapur, whence he managed to escape, and both, later, in
the Intelligence Department. The third died before the Mutiny. Captain
W. M. Hearsey was the father of Mr. L. D. Hearsey of Lakhimpur, Kheri.]

To-morrow, not a beggar envies him.
To-day he rises from the velvet bed ;
To-morrow, lies in one that's mado of lead.

To-morrow, can command no house at all.

To-morrow, stinks in every body's nose ;

[Jhansi was taken over by the doctrine of " lapse " in 1854, on the death of
Ganga Dhar Rao, the Raja. His widow the Rani, Lachmi Bai by name, was
given a pension of Rs. 5,000 a month and 10 lakhs' worth of her husband's
property, but she was aggrieved by the refusal of Government to allow her to
adopt an heir to her husband and in vain pleaded her cause in England. She
had also many other minor causes of irritation, most of them trivial, and in some
of them at all events she was undoubtedly in the wrong. She was consequently
in a state of mind to welcome any chance of revenge and possessed of a mascu-
line spirit well fitted to carry it out.
As soon as the Mutiny broke out she began to intrigue with the garrison ; and
also actually misled Captain Skene, the Superintendent, into allowing her to
raise troops for her own defence. On the 6th the 12th N. I. mutinied : by this
time most of the Europeans had however taken refuge in the Fort. The
regiment shot Captain Dunlop, Lieutenants Campbell and Turnbull and Q,-M.
Sergeant Newton and his family. The rest of the day was spent in releasing the
prisoners, incendiarism and pillage. On the 7th Mr. Scott and the Messrs. Parcell
were sent by Captain Skene to the Rani to request her protection when the
party left the Port. They were seized by her troops and sent by the Rani to the
mutineers' lines where they were murdered. Mr. Andrews also left the Fort and
was murdered by the Rani's own servants. The Fort was attacked on the 8th
without success : but Lieutenant Powis was killed by some natives inside who
tried to open the gates to the mutineers, and Captain Gordon shot in the
assault. He had been " the life and soul of the garrison ' * and his loss was
severely felt.
Captain Skene then offered to treat : and the mutineers swore by the most
sacred oaths that they should be allowed to depart in safety. The terms were
accepted, and the besieged were taken to the Jokhan Bagh outside the city
walls. There on an order from the Risaldar of the mutineers, they were
massacred. Captain Skene was cut down by the Jail darogha. Their bodies
were left exposed for three days and then thrown, the men into one and the women
and children into another gravel-pit, and covered over.
A. Skene was the son of Dr. C. Skene, born at 1817 in Aberdeen. He joined
the service in 1837.
Francis Jaques Burgess was the son of F. Burgess, barrister-at-law and
Chief Commissioner of Police for Birmingham, born in 1822. He joined the
service in 1842.
Francis David Gordon (1821-1857) was eldest son of Mr. M. F. Gordon of
Abergeldie, of a family descended from Sir Alexander Gordon, second son of the
the 1st Earl of Huntley. This particular branch of the Gordons dates back to
Sir Adam Gordon, circa 1305.
Owing to the absence of initials, I was unable to trace the other officers.}

discovery in Burke, however, coupled with the fact that no ** Younger " could be
traced in the 39th Madras N, I. or any where else in the East India register of
the date, showed me that it merely was a (now somewhat antiquated) synonym
for " junior." Burke mentions John Sinclair, " 39th Madras N. I,, born 2nd May
1822, killed while gallantly commanding the left wing, 3rd regiment, Hydrabad
contingent at the capture of Jhansi, 5th April 1858 ; " so there can be no doubt of
the identification. He was the son of Sir John Sinclair, Bart., and grandson of

[This tomb is a large masonry structure, East of Margayan (Margawan or
Margaon,) Fuhrer read the date 1790 ; the Collector of Jalaun informed me
that M. Matin-uz-zaman Khan, Deputy Collector, thought it was 1758. I am of
opinion that the true date is 1778, According to the Deputy Collector's report,
there can be no doubt of the 8 ; the third figure is badly damaged, but from
what he says, it might as well be a 7 as anything else, and Fuhrer who saw it
thirteen years before M, Matin -uz-saman, and was a professed antiquarian, read
it as a 7. Apart from these arguments, we have firstly the negative fact that
an Englishman would hardly be in the neighbourhood of Kalpi in 1758, the year
after Plassey, and the positive fact, that a Captain James Crawford did die noac
this spot about the 3rd iMOQ 1778.

In 1778 occurred Warren Hastings' trans-continental expedition from
Bengal to the assistance of Bombay against the Marathas. In the course of that
expedition Colonel Leslie seized Kalpi. Philip Francis who had been opposed
to the expedition all along, never lost a chance of criticizing it adversely, and
Hastings through it. On the 'A'lnd June Colonel Lesl.e sent to Calcutta some
despatches from Bombay, urging him to hasten west. Incidentally, they
mentioned the news just received, of General Burgoyne's surrender in the
American War. Francis commented that in one breath they told one English
army to proceed across one continent, and stated that another English army,
which had attempted a passage across another continent, had been forced to
capitulate. He pointed out that this was an evil omen, and pressed for the recall
of the troops. He also quoted a private letter from Lesl.e's camp describing the
privations that the troops had sufiered, and stating that Crawford had died on
the first march out of Kalpi, raving mad for want of a simple drink of water,
and more than hinted that Leslie or Hastings had suppressed the news of his
death. Hastings replied that the death had been unofficially reported in a
letter received at the same time as a public despatch from Colonel Leslie, and in
a moment of confusion he had supposed the death was mentioned in the despatch
and so had not produced the letter. He then did so, giving an extract as follows :
•• I have had the m sfortune to lose Captain James Crawford, who commanded the
4th Battalion of Sepoys, by a most violent fever which carried him o£E in less than
two hours." The letter was dated 5th June: and we find an official despatch
dated 15th June, from Leslie from " Meergawa " — of course Margawan or
Margayan. It seems therefore quite clear that the Captain James Crawford of
this tomb must be the unfortunate officer whose death Leslie reported. But for
this absurd attack of Francs on Hastings, the letter would never have emerged
from the obscurity of Hasting 's waste paper basket into the glare of the proceed-
ings of the Secret Select Committee ; and the tomb would have remained a puzzle.
Parturient monies."
Nothing else is definitely known of James Crawford. He appears to be the
officer mentioned by Dodwell and MJes, who became an ensign m ] 764 (at the
age of 15), a lieutenant in 1765, was dismissed the service on 16th February and
restored on 7th July 1767 ; and then Dodwell and Miles know no more of his
fate. We find a Lieutenant James Crawford giving evidence in the trial of
Sir R. Fletcher for mutiny in 1766 ; if this is the same, it would explain the
dismissal, whilst the subsequent restoration was more or less universal (even
Sir R. Fletcher was reinstated). But it is not certain, for there are two James
Crawfords mentioned about this time, and distinguished as senior and junior.
It is pretty clear however that this was the James Crawford who was appointed
to command the 1st Battalion of the 4th Sepoys in 1768, and gave his name to
them — Crawford ki paltan ; in which case he was the senior of the two.]

(3) GRAHAM, R. (4) EVANS, R. Inscription :—Thia
obelisk was erected in memory of George Frederick Cherry, Esq.,
Governor General's Agent, Captain Canway, Robert Graham, Esq.,
Richard Evans, Esq., who were murdered by Wazir Ali, 14th
January 1799.
[Wazir Ali succeeded his reputed father Asaf-ud-daula as Nawab of Oudh in
1797. Doubts were however thrown on his If gitimacy : though put-on the throne
by the mtervention of the company, he neveriheless proved faithless : and Sir
John Shore after personal inquiry deposed ham, and placed Saadat Ali on the
throne in his place (1798). Wazir Ali was conveyed to Benares and took up his
residence in Madho Drfs' garden,
Mr. Cherry was A. G. G„ and Mr. Davis, judge and mag'strafe at this time.
Mr. Davis warned Mr. Cherry that Wazir Ah entertained sinister designs : Mr,
Cherry refused to credit them, but the Calcutta authorities realizing the error of
keeping him at Benares decided to remove him to Calcutta. This led to the
climax for it upset all Wazir All's plans. On the 14ih January, by his own
desire, W^azir Ali paid a visit to Mr. Cherry. In the course of conversation'
Wazir Ali stabbed at Mr. Cherry and he was cut down by his followers whilst
trying to escape. Mr. Evans, a young Private Secretary, was killed in a neigh-
bouring field and Captain Canway was killed as he rode up to the house. Mr.
Graham, a young civilian, was murdered by the party as they inarched to attack
Mr. Davis. This gentleman defended himself at the top of a narrow staircase
leading to the roof with a hog spear till relieved by General Erskine and his
troops. Wazir Ali managed to escape : a reward of Rs. 20 000 was put on his
head ; but he was ultimately surrendered to Colonel Collins by the Raja of Jaipur,
with whom he had taken refuge. He was imprisoned in a bomb proof building
in Fort William for several years and subsequently transferred to Vellore, where
he died (1817.)
G. F. Cherry (1761-1799) entered the B. C. S in 1778, was Lord CornwaUis'
Persian Secretary and went with him to Madras, and on a mission to Seringa-
patam, when he painted Tippu Sultan's portrait, now at the India Office. Of hia
two brothers one was Member of Council, Bombay (J. H. Cherry died 1803) and
the other in the Madras C. S. (Peter Cherry died 1823). Two sons, a grandson,
and a great-grandson of J. H. Cherry were in the Madras services. Robert
Graham was the eldest son of the 12th laird of Fintry and wns born in 1775. The
family is very ancient and of considerable note. It goes back legendarily to
William Graham of Abercorn and Dalkeith circa 1120. The line is traced
unbroken to Sir William Graham of Kincardine (1400). From him, by his first
marriage, are descended the Dukes of Montrose : by his second marriage he is
auceotor of the Grahams of Fintry and Knockdoliian, and the Graemes of
Garrock. Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, was a member of the Fintry
family. Robert Graham's brother was that Colonel John Graham who gave his
name to Grahamstown (S. Africa.) Another famous member of the family in
the Garrock branch was Thomas Graham, tbe victor of Barrosa. This extremely
ancient family has made its full share of history in its time. Captain E. S.
Canway (so Dodwell and Miles) was appointed lieutenant in 1778 and captain
in 1796.]

595.— 1822— WILFORD, F., Lieutenant- Colonel. Inscription :—
Sacred to the memory of Francis Wilford, Lieutenant- Colonel
in the Engineer Service of the East India Company, aged 71
years, deceased on the 4th of September 1822. Encouraged
by the liberality of the Government of British India, he fixed
his residence at Benares in the year 1788 ; and whilst yet, in
the vigour of his days, devoted his life to retirement and study,
eminently qualified by previous education, extensive erudition, a,
true intellect and indefatigable zeal. He made himself master of
the classical language and literature of the Hindus, and applied
his knowledge to the eradiation of the dark periods of antiquity,
with a success that perpetuates his own reputation and the honour
of the British name in the East. In the social relations of life,
his merits were proportioned to his talents, and the abilities of the
scholar were reflected by the virtues of the man.
[Colonel Wilford was an Oriental and Sanskrit scholar of considerable
lepute, a devoted supporter of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, and a voluminous
contributor to the pages of the Asiatick Researches. Many of his dissertations
on the chronology, history and antiquities of India show great learning, labour
»nd ingenuity ; but the extravagance of their conjectures at once makes the
leader dubious of their real value. The very titles of these articles are almost
enough to throw doubt on them ; e.g. one finds essays " on Egypt and other
countries adjacent to the Nile, from the ancient books of the Hindus ;"*' on
Bemiramis, the origin of Mecca, &c. from the Hindu Sacred Books ; " "on the
names of the Gabirian Deities and on some words used in the mysteries ^of
Eleusis ; '' " on Mount Caucasus ; " ^' on the sacred Isles of the West, " &c., &o.
It IS Dot therefore surprising to come across the discovery, stated by Wilford
himself in a later essay, that he bad been imposed upon by his pandits, who with
an oriental's characteristic desire to say that which would prove acceptable to
the hearer, did not hesitate to forge the names of such places as " Egypt " or
•• Mount Meru " in old manuscripts, by substituting them for the names of otheif
places, and in one case at least even went so far as to write themselves a whole
book of several thousand lines to prove something Wilford wanted to prove. Bui
in the wild conjectures of which Wilford was guilty he was by no means alone :
and it is not perhaps surprising that in an age when the oi-ator still quoted
Virgil in the House of Commons or over the wine, classical scholars brought
face to face with an ancient literature should allow their fancy to run riot in
analogies and comparisons between what they knew and what they were striving
to learn. Certainly Wilford, when he discovered how he had been cheated, pub-
lished with the most complete candour a recantation of his former opinions ; with
the result that his later works (e. g. his essays on the Geography of India) are of
great value.
He was well fitted for the direction of Jonathan Duncan's new Sanskrit,
College at Benares. The College had been opened in 1791 : but things did not
go well : disputes and abuses occurred : and Government appointed (1798) a com-
mittee consisting of Messrs. Cherry and Davis and Captam Wilford to inquire
into these. It was in 1799 that Wilford reported and obtained the dismissal of
the Pandit who had deceived him, Vidyanand by name, and a professor in the
College. In 1800 Captain Wilford became Secretary to the Committee which
took over the management of the College ; and for some years he practically ruled
the mstituiiion. It is not quite clear when he severed his connection with it. Of
the man himself, all that is discoverable is that he was of Swiss extraction ; but
his name is remembered as that of a scholar. He joined the service in 1781,
became lieutenant-colonel in 1814 and was subsequently invalided. Otherwise
he appears to have no history. As was said of a greater philosopher, philoso-
phers seldom have any history : " it is a compensation."]

of William Augustus Brooke, Senior Judge of the Court of Appeal,
and A gent to the Governor General at Benares, who died on the
10th July 1883, in the eighty-first year of his age. His amiable
character endeared him alike to the Hindu, the Musalman and the
Christian inhabitants of this city.
[Mr. W. A. Brooke was at Benares lor at least some 20 years. In 1813 he is
found as Pres.dent of the Sanskrit College Committee, an instiiution in which he
took a very great deal of interest all through his residence at Benares. In 1824
he was v.siied by Bishop Heber who stayed with him in his house at Secrole on
his journey through Upper India. The Bishop writes of him " Mr. Brooke has
been 55 years in India, being the oldest of the Company's resident servants. He
is a very fine healthy old man, his manners singularly courteous and benevolent.'*
As he was born in 3752 and came out to India aboui 17l8 (according to these
dates) it is probable that he came out as a very junior writer.]

199.— 3 388— BROWN, C, Major- General. Inscription i—So^cvQd.
to the memory of Clements Brown, Companion of the
Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, Colonel in the
regiment of Bengal Artillery, and Major- General on the staff of
the army. A soldier from his youth, he delighted in his profes-
eion, and after an uninterrupted career of more than half a century
of gallant and honourable service, and while still in the active and
zealous discharge of his duties, departed this life 25th April 1838,
aged 72 years.
[The name, according to Stubbs, is Clement Brown ; but most authoritiea
give it as "Clements", whilst the "Services B. A. List " have the variant
"Clements Browne." This oflicer is one of the most famous of half-forgotten
Anglo-Indian worthies. He came of an Irish family and arrived in Bengal as an
infantry ensign in 1785, but was transferred to the artillery in 1789. He fought
in the Mysore war of 1790-2, and at Bhitaura (1794), and in 1800 was selected as
first commander of an experimental troop, which developed into the famous
Bengal Horse Artillery. He fought with Baird in Egypt in 1802, «nd m some
of Lake's later actions, in the pursuits of Holkar and Am.r Khan, and also at
Bhurtpore (1804). From 1810 to 1812, he was home on leave ; in 1814 he became
gun carriage agent, first at Allahabad and then at Fatehgarh, In 1824 be
became Lif'utenant-Colonel Comriandant, and 1825 was present at the stcond
and successful i=iege of Bhurtpore, in command of the B. H. A. In 1831 hd
succeeded to the command of the Regiment, became a Brjgad.er in 183i' and
Major-General in 1837. He was given his C. B. in 1826. He was warm-hearted
and impulsive, extremely liberal, subscribing for insiance £100 for the racquet
court in the artillery lines at Meerut — one of the gallantest memberd oi one of the
gallantest corps known to history.]

[Raja Chait Sngh of Benares, a feudatory of the Government, was called on
by Warren Hastings to pay a yearly subsidy of 5 lakhs. He did so for two years,
after much delay and reluctance. Hastings then demanded '2,000 horse : though
the demand was reduced to 1,000, none were sent. There was no doubt that he
was also generally disafiec^ed. Hasings, determined to punish him, went himself
to Benares. On the 15ih August, he sent the Raja a formal statement of the
charges against him with a demand for a full and categorJcal reply. The reply
was both unsat.sfactory and ofiensively worded. Hastings then sent Mr. Mark-
bam, the Resident, to place him under arrest. Th s he did next day, and the
Raja was made a prisoner in his own palace at Shivala Ghat with a sepoy guard
of two compan'es under Lieu enant Stalker, Scott and Symes. The Raja's armed
retainers then came over from Ramnagar on the other side of the river and set
upon the guard, which by a fatal m stake, had taken no ammunition with them ;
the bodies of the L'eutenants were found lying close together and shockingly
mangled. " These officers were the first victims to the fury of the tumulfuous
assembly ", writes Warren Hastings : but not until they had by astonishing
efiorts ot bravery, and undismayed amidst the imminent dangers which sur-
rounded them, involved a much superior number of their enem es in their
fate I y eld to my own feelings in bestowing this just but unavaJable
tribu'e to these unhappy gentlemen." Lieutenant Archibald Scott is probably
the 4th son of John Scott of Maluny by his wife Susan, grand-daughter of the 2nd
Marquis of Twoeddale. (Burke merely records him as " H. E. I. C. S., killed in
action," without dates : but the general i acts correspond). Two of his brothers
dcil, and another also served in India. The Scotts of Maluny are of the same
stock as the house of Buccleuch. Sialker joined the service in 1771, Scott in
1776 and Symes m 1778.]

603.— 1857— GUISE, H. J., Captain. Inscription : -To the beloved
memory of my husband. Captain Henry John Gnise, 2nd son of
General Sir J. W. Guise, Baronet, of Gloucestershire, who fell
when in command of the 13th Irregular Cavali*y, and in the gallant
discharge of his duty, by the hands of the mutineers, 4th June 1857,
[Benares was by its gfcograph.cal position, its wealth, and the lact that it
was a divisional cap.tal, a most important post, and at the same time one pecu-
liarly exposed to danger. The force consisted of a mere handful of British
Artillerymen and three native regiments: the 37th Native Infantry, the 13th
Irregular Cavalry and the Ludhiana Sikhs. Luckily F. Gubb^ns. the Ju-'ge, and
Tucker, the Commissioner, were both strong men, espec ally Gubbins. Br gadier
Ponsonby was of a somewhat vacillating nature however, and moreover not in
good health. On the 30th June, Ne.ll arrived with a detachment of his reg ment.
The next day the news of the Azamgarh mutiny arrived : and it was decided to
disarm the troops. Neill persuaded Ponsonby to do it at orce. The troop
turned out, Olpherts with his guns and 1 he Madras Fusiliers facing the 37th.
The 37th were ordered to pile arms and had begun to obey when the advance of
the British troops frightened them : they seized their muskeis and fired a volley.
Olpherls at once opened on ihem with grape. The S.khs advanc ng to support
the English, were startled by firing in their rear : one of ihe Irregulars had fired
at an olficet : and the Sikhs, some of whom were posiiively disloyal and the rest
confused and fearful of treachery, attacked the ariillery. Olpherts turned his
guns on them. The S.khs also broke and fled.
It has been held that this was a mismanaged affair ; that the Sikhs were
driven into rebellion with grape. That it was mismanaged is certain : but there
is very good evidence that a proportion of the Sikhs (who were by no means all
Sikhs) were disloyal. Accounts vary : but there seems a possibiiiity that some of
the Sikhs would at all events have stood firm, as they did at Mirzapur and
Allahabad.
Captain Guise was killed by the 37th, Ensign Hayter by the Sikhs. Ens'gns
Chapman and 1 weedie were also wounded. Captain Guise (1817-18r>7) was i^nd
Bon of General Sir J. W. Guise. G. C. B., 3rd Baronet, Colonel of the 85th. He
married Frederica, daughter of Sir W. Verner, Bart., M, P., and left two sons. Sir
J. W. Guise distinguished himself in the French wars, in Egypt, and the
Peninsula. The famly is a very old one, dating back to Nicholas deGyse, A. D.
1262, who married a relative of John deBurgh, son of Hubert, Earl of Kent.]

Duncan who founded tl;ie Sanskrit College at Benares in Vi^h
Beniseb. 169
[This tablet, and the next, were set up in 1905 by order of the Lieutenant-
Governor, Sir J. J. D LaToucbe, in memory of the founder of the Sanskrit
College and the Architect of the Queen's College, its present home. They are
placed in the south-east corridor on each side of the main door of the College.
Though not actually epitaphs, they have been included, as Sir J. Strachey's tablet
at Agra has been included, as the memorials, possibly the only memorials in the
province, of two of its great men.
Jonathan Duncan (1756 — 1811) son of Alexander Duncan, arrived in Cal-
cutta in the E. I. C. Service in 1772, At the early age of 32 (in 1788) he became
Eesident and Superintendent at Benares, where his administration was marked
by a vigorous suppression of administrative scandals and of infanticide. At the
even more remarkable early age of 41 (1795) he became Governor of Bombay —
a post he retained for so long a period as £6 years, till his death in 1811. He
was at Bombay in the stirring times of Wellesley's rule : and the latter's
despatches have frequent referenoe to the Honourable the Governor of Bombay.
During the 2nd war against Tippu, the Maratha wars of Lake, Baird'a
expedition to the Red Sea, and the operations in Gujrat and Kathiawar, he
played a not inconsiderable part^ seconding Lord Wellesley's efforts in a way
which the latter readily and frequently acknowledges.
He was a man of some literary ability. He contributed three papers to the
*' Asiatick Researches," all published in the 6th volume (1794). They were
'« Historical remarks on the coast of Malabar," " an account of two Fakeers,"
and ''an account of the discovery of two urns in the vicinity of Benares."
These urns were the subsequently celebrated urns of Sarnath, to which Cunning-
ham refers in his Archaeological report. His interest in Sanskrit literature
was shown in a practical way by his foundation of the Sanskrit College. In
1791 he urged Lord Cornwallis to set apart i;0,000 sicca rupees from the
revenue of the Benares zamindari " for the support of a Hindu College or
academy, for the preservation and cultivation of the Sanskrit literature and
religion of that nation, at this the centre of their faith and the common resort
of their tribes." Lord Cornwallis sanctioned his proposal : and on the 2&th
October 1791 a number of " professors in the principal Hindu Sciences " met
for the first time in a house hired for their reception. Such was the origin of
the present Queen's College and more particularly of its Sanskrit department,
whose pandits, as was said by Sir James LaTouche in ir04, " are household
names among scholars in India and Europe." And if Jonathan Duncan had
never played a part in making history his name would still have been famous
wherever Orientalists are gathered together.]

615.— 1853— KITTOE, M., Major. Inscription :— In memory of
Major Markham Kittoe who designed and built this college at
Benares 1848- 1852.
Markham Kittoe was the son of R. Kittoe, R.N., born in 1808, and joined the
service in 1825. In 1836 he met James Prinsep. He was then preparing his
work " Illustrations of Indian Architecture." His antiquarian zeal and architec-
tural knowledge commended him to Prinsep, who described him as an " invalu-
able antiquarian traveller." In 1837 Kittoe was removed from the army for bring-
ing indiscreet charges of oppression against his commanding ofRcer. Prinsep's
influence secured him the post of Secretary of the Coal Committee which led to a
long tour in Orissa, and articles in the Journal of the A. S. B. He was reinstated
in the army in 1S38, by order of the Court of Directors. In 1841 he went on
leave to Europe, and on his return was given the charge of one of the divisions
of the High Road from Calcutta to Bombay. It was not till 1846 that he had a
chance of returning to archaeology when ho travelled over Bihar and Shahabad
"catering for James Prinsep." *• He added much to archaeological knowledge
but spent (or according to Cunningham, in view of photography, " wasted") much
time in a collection of drawings of sculpture. These drawings are, or were, in the
library of the East India Museum. He was then appointed by Mr. Thomason,
" Archaeological Engineer " to Government. One of his duties was the prepara-
tion of a design for the Benares College. This work lasted the rest of his career,
though ho also undertook some extensive excavations at Sarnath. At the
beginning of 1853 he went home to recoup, but he was so ill that '• he went
8tra*ight to his home and died."

170 Christian Tombs anij Monuments^.
The Journal of the A. S, B. for several years was full of his papers. There
are no less than 27 such papers (Vols. VII, VIII, XVII, XVI, XVIII, XIX, XXI.)
He was not a man of great knowledge «• a self-educated man and no classic or
Sanskrit scholar," as he said of himself : but he was an accurate draughtsman
and an enthusiastic explorer. He provided the material for others' discoveries
and notably for Prinsep's.
The Queen's College, which Le built, is in a severe style of perpendicmlar
Gothic consisting of a nave and transepts with a tall central tower ; both nave
and transepts are adorned with dark carved woodwork. This " Academe of the
Indian Athens ' ' reminds the speertator forcibly of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges
and shows that Kittoe was*no mean architect,]

years 11 months and 6 days. This monument is erected by the
officers of the 47th and his friends and family as a token of respect
to his memory.
[This is the tomb of Captain W. E. Pogson, author of the " History of the
Bnndelas." There can be no doubt of the identification ; there is only one W.
R. Pogson in Dodwell and Miles ; he joined the service in 1803, became a captain
in 1819 and a major in 1833, so that in 1828 (when the book was published)
he was a captain ; we find him transmitting several books for the acceptance of
the Court of Directors in 1832 ; and he is described in the Services B. A. List as
*' a man of learning and author of some rather eccentric writings." Those who
read his history will notice both the learning and the eccentricity. He was the
son of B. Pogson, of Sutton ; he fought at Bhurtpore and was mentioned in
despatches. '• He was buried by a roadside, according to a direction in his will,"
says the Services B. A. List. Tradition in Benares avers that he wished to be
buried within sound of his bugles (the tomb is on the far side of the Native In-
fantry parade ground, and the N. I. lines.) It was doubtless unconscious irony
which sent young buglers to learn their art (in 1904-5 at all events) in the grove
in which his tomb stands, and prompted the bandmaster to choose that place as
a fit spot for bugle practice generally.]

erected to the memory of William Richard Moore, of the Bengal
Civil Service, Joint Magistrate and Deputy Collector of Mirzapur,
whose mortal remains rest in the burial-ground of this station He
was the second son of Major J. A. Moore and Sophia Stewart, his
wife, and was among the early victims of the fearful mutiny which
desolated India in 1857, having been barbarously and treacherously
murdered while in the energetic perforrhance of his duty on the 4th
July in that year. The remembrance of his high qualities as a
public servant, of his excellence in all the relations of life, of his
unsullied purity and honour as a man, and of his warm and unaffec-
ted piety as a Christian, furnishes to surviving relatives and friends
consolation under a loss of which, alas ! it also tells the greatness.
He was born on the 28th October 1832, and died on the 4th July
1857, in the 25th year of his age.
He being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time. Wisdom^
chapter IV, verse 13.
[W. R. Moore was at Haileybury 1850-1 and arrived in India in 1852. The
mutiny in Mirzapur was not of a very serious nature, and the authorities were
able to make head against the rebels all through. It was at first garrisoned by
half a Sikh corps, and when these were sent to Allahabad and replaced by the
47th Native Infantry, they too remained faithful, though suspected. On a false
alarm the majority of the European residents fled to Chunar : but the only seri-
ous events were those connected with Bhadohi and the murder of Mr. Moore.
Bhadohi belonged to the Raja of Benares, but the former Rajput owners had never-
been wholly uprooted, and now one of them, Udwaat Singh, assumed his ances-
tral title and commenced to raise forces and plunder his weaker neighbours. He
was, however, delivered up by his own Diwan to Lieutenant Palliser and his
sowars, and hanged. They vowed vengeance on Moore, the Joint Magistrate and
official Superintendent of the Raja's Domains, who they supposed was the
chief cause of the execution. On the 4th July he made a raid from Gopiganj
and arrested some prisoners whom he brought to an indigo factory at Pali. He

seems certainly an error, in so far as his rank was concerned, though this may
of course be a cenotaph. All the facts given in the Services B. A. List about
W. B. Salmon correspond with those given by Pearse, whilst the date of death

Burke, " went to India where he became highly distinguished in the C. S.
in Bengal." Prinsep gives his most important post as that of settlement oificer
at Cawnpore (1839-41) : and he was magistrate of Banda when he died. This
Hugh was apparently the first of the family to go to India, but of his brothers
three served in India, all during the mutiny and two were killed, one at Gwalior
and one at Kaira in Bombay. Sir Hugh Rose, (Lord Strathnairn) was a kinsman.
Two sisters also married Anglo-Indians. The family is ancient, dating back to
the time of Alexander III ; and settled at Kilravock in the time of King John
Balliol, since when the estate has descended unbroken to the present owner.
The eldest son has apparently been a Hugh without any exception since the time

[The 5th son of James Fairlie of Holms, co. Ayr, he was at Haileybury 1854-
6 and came to India 1857. Two of his brothers were also in the Indian Army.
The family is descended from Eobert de Ros, of Trabet, who obtained the Fairlie
lands from Eobert Bruce, and changed his name. This branch is descended from
a cadet of the family who lived circa 16(31. The Fairlies are connected with the
Huirs by marriage (cf . no. 545):, whether it is this branch I am however uncertain,
A. Jean Fairi.e married a John Muir of Netheraith, and died in 1829, but I
cannot identify the latter. At all events Fairlie appears in the names of a;
^Drother, son and grandson of Sir "William Muir ; whilst Slungo, another " Muir '*
dame is ^l^o co]j:i]UQn ^xaongst the Fairlies ; it was ihp uai&e of ^ brother of the

Jean mentioned and also of a brother of Edward Fairlie, amongst others, Hifl
probability is, therefore, that this Fairlie is a distant connection of the many
Muirs in this province.]

[The Chunar fort was handed over to the British after the battle of Buxar
in 1764. It was an advanced post on the British frontier, a cantonment for
many years and then the residence of European invahds up to the tO's at, least.
This of course explains the numerous cemeteries found here. In 1824 Bishop
Heber visited it and describes it as follows : There were " some very good Euro-
pean habitations and a tale Gothic Tower " — that of the Mission Church. The
whole scene is entirely English the Castle with its union flag is such as
would be greatly admired but not at all out of place in any ancient English
seaport. The congregation was more numerous than I have seen out of Cal-
cutta : there were about 200 European invalids besides officers, civil and mili-
tary, and their families. Some of the Europeans are very old : there is oue
(1824) who fought with Clive."

an officer born about 1702 and presumably an ensign about 17iO. Yet there was
no Bengal Army at these dates. From a very early date the Calcutta factors
were allowed to keep an ensign and thirty men as a guard of honour : and one
can only suppose that these were survivals of those early days unless indeed
they were Madras officers who found their way up to Chunar at a later date.]

Meet thy loved shade in heaven to part no more. (B. O.)

to obtain a more apostolic commission, he was re-ordained by Bishop Heber, who
ordained him priest as well as deacon at once, with only a month's interval bet-

was resident for many years at Chunar and collected the funds to build the

Army, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief in India, &c.,
&c.
His first administration, commencing in September 1786, and ter-
minating in October 1793, was not less distinguished by the suc-
cessful operations of war, and by the forbearance and moderation
with which he dictated the terms of peace, than by the just and
liberal principles which marked his internal Government. He
regulated the remuneration of the servants of the State on a scale
calculated to ensure the purity of their conduct. He laid the
foundation of a system of revenue which, while it limited and
defined the claims of Government, was intended to confirm here-
ditary rights to the proprietors, and to give security to the cultiva-
tors of the soil. He framed a system of judicature which restrained
within strict bounds the power of public functionaries, and extended
to the population of India the effective protection of laws adapted
to usages and promulgated in their own languages. Invited in
December 1804 to resume the same important station, he did not
Ghazipur. 197
liesitate, thongli in advanced age, to obey the call of his country.
During the short term of his last administration he was occupied in
forming a plan for the pacification of India which, having the
sanction of his high authority, was carried into effect by his succes-
sor. He died near this spot, where his remains are deposited, on
the 5th day of October 1 805, in the 67th year of his age. This
monument, erected by the British inhabitants of Calcutta, attests
their sense of those virtues which will live in the remembrance of
grateful millions long after it shall have mouldered in the dust.
[Charles, 1st Marquess and 2nd Earl Cornwallis, Viscount Browne (1738 -
1805) was son of the tifth Baron and 1st Earl Cornwallis, Chief Justice of
Eyre south of Trent, and Constable of the Tower. He was educated at Eton and
at the Military Academy of Turin. He entered the army and served at Min-
den, Labina, and other minor actions. In 1760 he was member for Eye, but in
1762 succeeded to the Earldom. In 1768 he married Jemima, daughter of
Colonel Jones of the Foot Guards. In 1776, he commanded a division in the
American War of Independence though, politically, he had opposed the war and
the actions that led to it. He won the battles of Kugeley Mills and Guildford, but
was compelled to surrender at York Yown. In 1784 and 1785 he was twice offered
and twice declined the Governor Generalship ; but against his own des res
accepted it in 1786. He reformed both the civil and military services. In 1790
he took command (as Commander-in-Chief) of the Army against Tipu, captured
Bangalore (1791), defeated Tipu at Seringapatam and took Nandidrug, Savandrug
and besieged Seringapatam in 1792, when Tipu submitted, and ceded territory
and paid a large indemnity. For those services he was made a Marquess. He
carried out the permanent settlement of Bengal in 1793 against the adv.ce of
Sir John Shore. He forbade trading by civil servants and restr.cted the practice
of commission. He also defined a collector's powers, which are very much those
of a modern collector as regards revenue, court of wards, khas (or Government)
estates, partition and excise. He also reformed the judiciary and magistracy ;
all of these reforms are embodied in the Cornwallis Code. He reduced Pondi-
cherry in 17y3 and then returned home. On his return he was sent on a
mission to Flanders in connection with the allied armies. In 1795 he became
Master of the Ordnance and commander of the troops in Essex and Hertford-
shire, then an important post. In 1797 he was selected to go out to India to
settle certain grievances of the officers of the Bengal Army, but his services were
required in Ireland as Viceroy and Commander-in-Chief, where he crushed the
rebellion of 1798, defeated the French under General Humbert, and supported the
Act of Un on, but resigned in 1801, over the question of CathoLc Emancipation,
In 1802 he was sent to conclude the peace of Amiens. At the age of 67 he was
sent out to India once more as Governor General with the avowed object of
replacing Lord Wellesley's expansive policy by a more pacific regime. He at
once prepared for a visit to the Upper Provinces, but his duties were now too
severe a tax on his age and health and he died at Ghazipur.
Cornwall. s's character has not always been fairly drawn. " The highest order
of commonplace" is perhaps the unkindest form of the general verdict. But he
was certainly nothing of the kind. In many points, especially in his transform-
ation of the Company's servants from merchants and clerks to administrators,
he was far ahead of his time. He was essentially a ** safe " statesman, one on
whom a ministry could rely. The purifier and reconstitutor of the civil admin-
istration of lnd;a, the founder of modern Indian law, the statesman who carried
out the Union of Ireland, the diplomat who brought about the Peace of Amiens,
has done a good deal to counterbalance the censure which rightly belongs to his
reversal of Lord Wellesley's policy. He was not in the same flight as Dalhousie,
Wellesley or Warren Hastings: but his place in the list of Governor Generals is high.
His life was one of uninterrupted devotion to duty. He fought in three
continents and ruled in two. *' Bonum vtrum facile crederts : magnum
libenter.** And lastly, he died in harness ; Jinis vitae ejus nobis Inctuesus^
umicis trintis, extraneis etiam ignotieque non sine oura fuit " was an apt
Tacitean quotation that appeared in the Gazette of Calcutta at the time of his
death.
The family of Cornwallis was of some importance in Ireland before it be-
came famous in England. Thomas Cornwallis was Sheriff of LondQU ia 13T9,
198 Christian Tombs and Monuments.
The first Baron Gomwallis was a loyal supporter of the two Charles' (baron
1661 ) The fifth baron was Marquess Cornwallis* father. The family is now
ext.nct in the male line. Cornwallis's son died in 1823. At his death the
earldom passed to the Bishop of Lcbfield and then to his son, and the title
became extinct in 1852. On the distaff side however, descendants are to be
found in the famlios of Lord Braybrooke (who is the great-great-great grandson
ot the Governor General) and Earl St. Germans.
Cornwalls' monument is a domed quasi-Grecian building with a cenotaph
by Flaxman. Heber has some hard things to say of it. He says it is an imitation
of the Sybil's Temple, of large proportions, and solid masonry, raised on a lofty
basement. But its pillars are of " the meanest Dor c," ** too slender for their
height," and he notices various other architectural defects. But at his time and
from his description it would appear to have been unfinished. There is a statue
by Bacon in the Town Hail, and a full length portrait m the Council Chamber
at the India Of&ce. The statue does not appear to He a happy effort, as Corn-
waUis is in the garb of an ancient Boman, with two female figures of justice
and truth, of no particular age or country, ai d a cornucopia pouring forth all
«orta of Indian fruits and vegetables from lichis and custard apples to Indian
coin. There is a similar statue over one of the staircases at the India Office.]

shahi, Tirhut, Shahabad, Mymensingh, and Gorakhpur. The first Lord Galway
(1695-1751) was an M. P. and held a post in Ireland. This, and his creation as
a peer of Ireland, presumably accounts for the title, for the family is a Yorkshire
one, dating back to the 14th century. Sir Philip Monckton was a devoted
adherent of the Stuarts and suffered at the hands of the Parliamentarians in
consequence. His son Robert Monckton was an active promoter of the Revolu-

the memory of Lieutenant Andrew Ramsay, fourth son of Major-
General the Hon'ble Ramsay, who departed this life at Almora on
the 1st July 1840, aged 30 years and 9 months.
[The distrjct authoriues conjecture that Andrew Ramsay was a brother of
Sir Henry Ramsay, and are doubtless correct. Andrew Ramsay's " Services "
in the Services B. A. List show him to be the son of the Hon'ble Colonel Ramsay
H. M.'s Service, born in 1809. Sir Henry's father was Lieutenant-General the
Hon'ble John Ra-msay : Burke does not mention Andrew Ramsay above his sons,
but he occasionally has omissions : and there is nothing against fii ing Anf:rrw
Ramsay into the pedigree for John Ramsay's other sons were born in 1804, 18C6,

1808, 1811 and 1816 ; so that Andrew Ramsay (born in 1809) would be the 4t&
son. Further we find him in 1834 A, D. C. to Major-General the Hon'ble J..
Ramsay, Commanding at Meerut ; and in 1837 Assistant Commissioner in Ku-
maun — an appointment objected to by the Court of Directors on the ground of
his lack of experience. In 1839-40 John Ramsay was still a Major-General ; he
died in 1842, a Lieutenant-General. In short, all facts point to ihe correctness of
the view of the district authorities ; there can be no doubt that Andrew Ramsay
belonged to the same family, at all events, as Sir Henry, for there is no other
family of Ramsays who are entitled to the prefix of Honourable. John Ramsay
was 4th son of the Sih Earl of Dalhousie, and Sir Henry himself was " raised to
the rank of an Earl's son " (i.e. obtained the prefix of Honourable) in 1874, when
his brother sucoeeded to the title.

[Mr. G. T. Lushington was educated at Haileybury and came to India in
18'25. In 1826 he was Assistant Persian Secretary to the Governor General,
and served in various secretariat posts till 1830, He then was m the political

849.— 1815— (1) KIRK, Lieutenant. (2) TAPLEY, Lieutenant.
Inscription : — Sacred to the memory of Lieutenants Kirk and
Tapley, both of the 2nd Bn., 27th Regt. N. I. This cenotaph is
erected by their brother officers as a testimony of their regret and
esteem. The latter was killed on the evening of the 26th April
1815 on duty at an advanced post in the town of Almora. The-
former died on the 16th of May following, a victim to zealous and
continued exertion in the final operations of the campaign.
[Even in 1814 Lord Hastings had determined on annexing Kumaun. The
Hon'ble E. Gardner was sent to try negotiations with Ram Sab, supposed to
be disafiected to the Gurkha Government. Negotiations however failed, and it
was decided to use force. Colonel W. L. Gardner and Captain H. T. Hearsey (cf.
nos. 395 and 551) were employed to raise Rohilla levies ; and in February 1815
Colonel Gardner entered the hills by the valley of the Kosi, whilst Captain
Hearsey entered them from Pilibhit up the Kali by the Timla pass. All went
well with the first force which by mixed fighting and manoeuvring, drove
the Gurkhas back on Almora and reached Katarmal, seven miles thence,.
Almora. 215
Meantime Captain Hearsay, at first successful, was defeated at Kliilpati and taken
prisoner. On the 6th April Lieutenant-Colonel Gardner was reinforced by a
force of 2,025 regulars under Colonel (afterwards Sir Jasper) Nicolls, who super-
seded him. On the 23rd April the Gurkhas were attacked and defeated at
Gananath : and on the 25th the heights of Sitoli were taken, two miles west of
Almora. A counter-attack was delivered the same night ; the sortie from Almora
on the advanced post was very determined, and it was during this attack that
Lieutenant Tapley was killed. On the 26th the fort of Almora was bombarded,
and the Gurkhas surrendered, Kumaun was delivered up to the British the
next day by a convention.
David Kirk was appointed cadet in 1804 and lieutenant in 1805 : he was
the son of J. Kirk, merchant, born at Perth in 1785, Richard Tapley, son of
R. Tapley of Great Torrington, Devon, was born in 1791, joined the service in 1807
and became a lieutenant in 1814.]

whil[e] she [was cjrossing it on the 20th September 1827 at the
age of 16 years and 14 days. The monument is ere^'ted as the last
tribute of their affection by her afflicted and disconsolate parents.
[This tomb, in spite of the partially defaced inscription can be identified as
that of Miss Salmon, daughter of General W. B. and Mrs. Salmon, who was
killed in the following circumstances. She, her parents and her uncle. Sir J. B.
Hearsey (as he became later — cf. No. 551) were on a tour in the Garhwal hills.
On their return in crossing the Nundakwe river the log bridge broke in two.
The girl and her uncle were dashed into a boiling snow torrent from a consider-
able height. Captain Hearsey did his best to save her, but was nearly drowned
himself. The body "was found 14 miles lower down the stream caught in the
fork of a tree. It was taken to Hawalbagh, five days' journey away, and buried
in Mrs. Traill's garden.
Captain Salmon, as he was then, was commandant of the Resident's guard

LUCKNOW DIVISION.
Lucknow District,
Note. — Almost all tlie Lucknow tombs belong to tbe Mutiny period.
Tlie operations in and around Lucknow are necessarily complicated.
Fighting went on almost without cessation from June lii57 to the end
of March 1858, and during that time six scenes of the great drama were
played out all on the same stage, viz. (1) Lawrence's and Inglis'a
defence of the Residency, (2) Havelock and Outram's so-called relief
(really no more than a reinforcement), (3) Havelock and Outram's
second defence of an extended position, (4) Sir Colin Campbell's second
relief, (5) Outram's operations at the Alambagh, (6) Sir Colin Camp-
bell's capture of Lucknow. If the tombs are to be presented in some
intelligible form and not as a mere jumble, passing from one to another
of these scenes in the most confusing way, it is necessary that a sort of
key, in the shape of a chronological skeleton of the operations should
be given. This seems to be the easiest method of attaining lucidity
without sacrificing the ordinary arrangements of the tombs by localities.

THE RESIDENCr.
852— 1857— DEFENDERS OF THE RESIDENCY. Inscrip-
tion:— In memory of Major- General Sir Henry Lawrence, K.C.B., and
tlie brave men who fell in the defence of the Residency, A.D. 1857.
[This memorial cross stands on a high mound between the Residency and
Banqueting Hall.
The troops at lAicknow consisted of th-e 13tb, 48th and 71st Native Infantry^
the 4th and 7th Olidh Irregulars, the ?rd Native Police, the 7th Light Cavalry,
the 2nd Oudh Irregular Cavalry, 1^ regiment of mounted police and 2 batteries of
«irtillery. Of English troops there were only the 32nd and one weak company of
artillery. As early as the 4th May the 7th Oudh Irregulars showed signs of dis-
affection. The position was also very unfavourable : the native troops were scat-
tered about in the city and as far out as Mariaon and Mudkipur on the far side of
the river : the English troops were a mile to the east of the Residency. Sir H,
Lawrence proceeded to fortify the Machi Bhawan and the Residency. On the
30th May the outbreak of the sepoys occurred. About 200 men of the 13th and
«, few of the 71st stood firm. Th'e rest mutinied. Sir H. Lawrence then moved
to the Residency. The rising had been quelled and the mutineers driven off with
grape and some faithful cavalry. Lucknow was quiet for a time : and the defences
were pressed on.
On the 29 th of June a large body of mutineers, encouraged by the fall of
CJawnpore, marched on Lucknow, On the 30th was fought the disastrous action
of Chinhat : and the siege commenced. The Machi Bhawan was blown up, and
:all the defenders collected in the Residency.
It is extremely difficult to understand the Residency entrenchments frora
what remains of them at the present day. Many buildings have been swept
away, and without a^lan or model the task is nearly impossible. The present
•account is taken from Macleod Innes's " Lucknow and Oudh in the Mutiny '*
which contains a series of excellent plates.
The entrenchments were in shape nearly a square with sides about 440 yards
long, and enclosing an area of between 32 and 36 acres. There were four fronts,
which may be called the river (North) Front, the Baily Guard (East) Front, the
Cawnpore (South) Front, and City (West) Front, It was on the edge of a bank,
sloping down to the river. On the North Front was the only clear space the
«nemy had for attack ; on the other three intervening buildings prevented the
lower defences from being reached by artillery fire.
Along the Northern Front the posts were Innes * (north-west corner), the
Bedan and the Hospital, with the Baily Guard and Aitken's post in advance, at
the north-east corner. The line of defence along this edge had been scarped
■down, and on the line itself, along the crest of the high bank, was a stout seven
foot parapet, "re ve ted with gabions and fascines, topped with sandbags, and
finished with a banquette for musketry,"
Along the Eastern Front, which was in two tiers, the posts were, on tha
higher tier, the Hospital (north-east corner), Fayrer's, the Post Office, Germon's,
and Anderson's (south-east corner) ; on the lower tier, the Baily Guard, Saunders*
and Sago's. The line of defence was the boundary wall of the Residency and
other buildings, which in its northern half was lined and strengthened insida
with a musketry parapet but merely loopholed elsewhere : beyond were the ver-
andahs, with archways bricked up and loopholed ; and further back still the sup-
porting posts, parapeted and loopholed. At the south-east corner it was specially
strengthened.
The South Front had at the south-east corner Anderson's, at the south-west
■corner Gubbins' posts : with the Cawnpore Battery, Doprat's, the Martiniere,
the Brigade Mess and th-e Sikh Squares. This was the most dangerous front, with
the Cawnpore Battery commanded by Johannes' House, and no protection from
distant artillery fire. The defences were the buildings themselves, which wera
loopholed.
The West Front lay between Gubbin's and Innes' Posts, and consisted of
three ranges of outhouses, with the Church and Cemetery and Evans's Battery on
Jaigh ground behind it. These outhouses were loopholed and parapeted.
220 Christ UN Tombs and Monitmbnts,
The Eedan, Cawnpore Battery and Slaughter-house Posts were held hr
English soldiers only : the Hospital, Baily Guard, Germon's and the Sikh Square
by sepoys : and all other posts by a mixture of English soldiers, sepoys and
volunteers. "^
There were also inner buildings— the Residency, Ommaney's House the
Begam Kothi— and in these and the lower storeys of Fayrer's, the Post Office
the Martiniere, the Brigade Mess and Gubbins' were housed the English
families.
The Commandants were Lieutenant Loughnan at Innes' Post, Colonel
Palmer, (North Curtain)^ Captain Lawrence (Redan), Lieutenant Langmoro
(Hospital), Lieutenant Aitken (Baily Guard), Captain Weston (Fayrer's);,
Captain Saunders (Saunders*), Lieutenant CJery (Sago's), Captain Germon
(Germon's), Captain McCabe (Post Office), Lieutenant Anderson (Anderson's)
Mr, Schilling (Martiniere), Colonel Masters (Brigade Mess), Lieutenant Hardinge
(Sikh Square), Captain Forbes (Gubbin's), Captain Boileau (outhouses), Capta n
Evans (Evan's Battery), with a relief of Captains at the Cawnpore Battery and
Beprat's. Of the siege nothing need be said. The sufferings of the garrison are so
well known as to need no fresh description, ^ They are written in the pages of
Rees and Polehampton, Fulton, and of Lady Inglis and Mrs, Harris. From
every point of view they are described — that of the British grumbler who grumbled
as he fought and slew, in Rees ; that of the jovial English officer who saw the
humour of any situation, however dangerous, in Fulton ; that of the brave and
gentle Mrs. Harris, a Sister of Mercy in every sense but the professional one.
The post that Sir H. Lawrence thought could be held for a fortnight, was held for
87 days. ** There does not stand recorded in the annals of war an achievement
more truly heroic than the defence of the Residency at Lucknow,"]

expressed his admiration of the defence of the Residency of
Lucknow in the following words : — " There does not stand
recorded in the annals of war an achievement more truly heroic
than the defence of the Residency at Lucknow." On 30th June
1857 A.D., the day after the battle of Chinhut, the siege began.
On the 2nd July, Sir Henry Lawrence was mortally wounded by
a shell which burst within the Residency building. The com-
mand then devolved on Brigadier J. E. W. Inglis, Her Majesty'^
32nd Regiment, The force within the defences then consisted
of 130 officers, British and native, 740 British and 700 native troops,
and 150 civilian volunteers. There were 237 women, 260 children, 50
boys of La Martiniere College, 27 non-combatant Europeans and 700

the devoted gallantry and fidelity of the Native Officers and Sepoys
of the Hon'ble Company's 13th Bengal Native Infantry (Garud-ka-
Fultan), who fell during the defence of Lucknow. This monu-
ment is erected by the surviving European officers of the Regiment
in the Baillie Guard Post, which was held by the regiment through-
out the defence. Subadar Doondayal Pandey, Subadar Ram
Pershad and Subadar Sheo Charan Singh, Jamadar Bhawani Bux
Chowbe, Kalka Tewari, 9 Havildars, 8 Naiks, 5 Drummers, 24
Sepoys.
[This tablet is inside the Baily Guard. The 33th Native Infantry, about 200
men, stood firm. They did excellent service at the Baily Guard all through the
siege. On the 1st July 1867 there were 12 native officers, 28 non-commissioned
officers, 13 drummers and 136 rank and file. At Chinhat some of the sepoys vrere
seen saving wounded European soldiers and abandoning their own wounded ; whilst
in the battle itself they behaved most bravely. They helped willingly with the
spade as well as the rifle. They made a battery for an 18 pounder and worked
it themselves. When Havelock's force entered the Baily Guard, three of the
sepoys were bayoneted by mistake. '« Never mind," said one of them, " it was
fated : " victory to the Baily Guard" C" Kuohh parwa nahin, kismat hai — Baily
Guard hi jai^ ) They did splendid work also all through the second siege.
They were so close to the enemy that conversation was possible : but threats and
promises were alike of no avail to seduce them from their allegiance. " Their
courageous constancy under the severest trials is worthy of all honour," wrote
Lord Canning. As a reward every member of the three faithful regiments (13th,
48th and 71st) were formed into a new regiment — the present 16th Rajputs
(the Lucknow Regiment). In the end 1 Subadar Major received the 1st class, 11
Bubadars the 2nd class of the Order of Merit : 16 Havildars were promoted to
Jamadars of whom 2 also got the 2nd Class of the Order : 23 Naiks were pro-
moted to Havildars, and 55 sepoys to Naiks ; drummers and other followers
received three months' pay. One Naik was promoted to Subadar with the 2nd
Class of the Order, and 3 Naiks and 3 Sepoys to Jamadars in the Cawnpore Levy.]

[This memorial stands in the Residency enclosure south of the cemetery. —
The 78th Highland Regiment, now the 2nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders
(Ross-shire Buffs, the Duke of Albany's) were Havelock's famous Highlanders.
They were with him in his advance and in all the subsequent Lucknow operations
up to the final reduction by Sir Colin Campbell. This battalion was raised in
1793. The 1st Battalion was raised in 1778, and was also numbered 78th up to
178G, when the number was changed to 72nd. The two battalions between them
have a long Indian honour roll. The 1st Battalion were m India from 1781-
1798, and 1857-1865 and 1871-1882 ; the 2nd from 1797-1811 ; 1842-59 ; 1880-

Sacred to the memory of Major- General Sir John Inglis, K.C.B.,
Colonel, Her Majesty's 32nd Regiment, who with a handful of
devoted men defended the Residency of Lucknow for 87 days, from
3rd July 1857 to 27th September 1857, against an overwhelming
force of the enemy. Born November 15th, 1814, died at Homberg,
Germany, September 27th, 1862, from illness contracted during the
siege. This memorial is erected by his surviving comrades and
friends, A. D. 1894-.
(This memorial stands to the south-east of the residency building.)
[Sir John Eardly Wilmot Inglis (1814-1864), son of the very Reverend John
Inglis, D.D., Bishop of Nova Scotia, joined the 82nd Regiment in 1833. In
1887 he was in Canada, and present at the actions of St. Denis and St. Eustaso.
He was at both sieges of Multan and commanded the 3iind at Surajkund ; he was
also present at Cheniole and Gujrat (1846-49.) He succeeded to the command of
the garrison on Sir H. Lawrence's death until the reliel by Havelock ; and as the
general order said, the British Government owed him a heavy debt of gratitude.
After the final relief of Lucknow ho fought against Tantia Topi in December
1857 ; commanded the troops in the Ionian Islands in 1860, and died at Homberg
in 1862. He was made Major-General and K.C.B. " for his enduring fortitude
and persevering gallantry in the defence of the Residency of Lucknow for 87
days against an overwhelming force of the enemy." "An honourable Christian
gentleman a staunch friend, a lover oi all that was high and noble, a soldier
of unsurpassable gallantry."]

and other friends in token' of their appreciation of his sterling
worth as a man, and of the splendid gallantry and chivalrous devo-
tion which he displayed as a soldier in command of this post,
which he held with the faithful and loyal remnant of the regiment
to which he belonged throughout the defence of the Residency of
Lucknow. Born 8th February 1828, died 18th September 1887.
[This memorial stands close to the Baily Guard Gate. Robert Hope Moncrieff
Aitken (1828-1887) belonged to the 13th Native Infantry and had served in the
Punjab campaign of 1848-49. In the defence of the Residency he was in command
of the Baily Guird though another post, the Treasury Post close by the Baily
Guard, was also called by his name. He and his faithful sepoys did excellent
service on the 20th July in the assault of that date. He commanded them " with
sgnal courage and success." He and his men also constructed a battery for an
18-pounder and worked it themselves. After the first relief he did good work in
the capture of the Ruri Kothi, and at a sortie on the 29th September. He also
fought in the operations before Cawnpore and in the Oudh Campaign of 1858, and
gamed the V.C. for various acts of gallantry at Lucknow. He became Inspector-
General of Police in Oudh, and Colonel in 1876. Lord Roberts, on seeing the
Baily Guard, marvelled that it could have been held for five months, as it was,
by Aitken and Loughnan.]

duty displayed by Julia, wife of Major- General Sir John Inglis,

1857.
[This tablet is on the top of the steps leading down to the Residency

daughter of the first Lord Chelmsford (Sir Frederic Thesiger, Lord High Chan-
cellor 1858-59 and 1856-C8). She published " The Siege of Lucknow, a diary '*
in 1892. Bhe was shipwrecked on her way home and died in 1904,
Of her self-devotion one instance will suffice. Rees relates that the ladies
from the Resi.dency after the 2nd relief had to walk about 6 miles. For Lady
Inglis a doolie was prepared ; but she " unhesitatingly refused it, saying that
she wa3 well able to walk while so many wounded men and sick women were so
much in need of a conveyance." This inc. dent will not be found in her own
diary.]

g6e._1857— LAWRENCE, H. M., Sir. Inscription :— Here lies
Henry Lawrence who tried to do his duty. May the Lord have
mercy on his soul. Born, 20th June 1806, died 4th July 1857.
[Henry Montgomery Lawrence (180G-1857), 4th son of Colonel Alexander
Lawrence, was born in Ceylon. He was educated at Foyle College, Derry,
Bristol and Addiscombe. He joined the Bengal Artillery in 1823. He served
in Burma (1826) and was invalided home : on his return to India he joined the:
Revenue Survey of the North- Western Provinces (1833-38). He was Assistant
to the Agent Governor-General on the North-West Frontier at Firozpur in 1840^^
during the first Afghan War. He went with Pollock to Kabul in 1842, getting
his brevet-majority. In 1843-06 he was Resident in Nepal. He was Agent
Governor-General for the Punjab during the 1st Sikh War and present at
Sobraon. He was Resident at Lahore in 1847 and compelled the surrender of
Kashmir to Gulab Singh. In 1848 he was made K. C. B. In 1849 he was
present at Multan and Chilianwala. He then became President of the Board
of Administration of the Punjab and Agent Governor-General, in April 1849^
When the Board broke up in 1853 he was transferred to Rajputana as Agent
Governor-General. In 1854 he was made Aide-de-Camp to the Queen and Chief
Commissioner of Oudh in 1857.
His great work began in the Punjab. He was strongly opposed to annexa-
tion : yet. when it occurred, he carried it out loyally, and there ensued a " rule-
iui&urpaissed jEor ef^ciency.'^ £ttt diflereuces arose ^etTYoeu Heury an^ jQlm

Lawrence : and Lord Dalhousie appointed the latter " as trained Civil Cfficer •'
to the Chief Commissionership of the Punjab. In the Mutiny he prepared with
great skill and foresight for the defeDce of Lucknow (vide no. 852), The battle
of Chinhat was a disaster, and Sir Henry himself admitted that he was the cause
of it : it may be true, as one of his critics says, " that history hat dealt very
tenderly with Henry Lawrence in this matter, because he was Henry Lawrence,"
but it would take a great deal more than a single disaster to overshadow Henry
Lawrence's fame. He was wounded almost as soon as the siege began. A shell
had already burst in his room and Couper (his Private Secretary) and other friends
implored him to change it. He said he was tired : he would do so next day : he
jested on the subject, saying that sailors always considered the safest place in a
sh'P was the hole made by the last shot. But another shell burst in the room,
whilst he was lying down, and nearly took off his thigh. He was taken to Dr.
(Sir Joseph) Fayrer's house where he died two days later. An extract frcm Major
Banks' diary given by Hutchinson shows that even on his deathbed he thought
of everybody and everything to the smallest detail. Besides miLtary directions^
he directed that "every servant should be enrolled as a beldar or carrier of earth ;"
that every horse save enough for four guns and one other (his own) should be
turned out of the entrenchment : that natives who were working were to be paid
«* liberally, double, quadruple ;" that his servants should be given a year's wages..
When he died a few soldiers were summoned to carry his corpse to burial. Before
they lifted the couch on which it lay, one of them raised the coverlet and, stoop-
ing down, kissed the forehead of his dead general : and all the rest did the same.
It is unnecessary to ransack the dictionary with the historians for adjectives,
to describe him. The epitaph he chose for himself and this story show what
manner of man he was. '* A god-fearing, upright man, resolute and brave,^
powerful in mind, noble and generous-hearted," the ** noblest hero of the old
Bengal Artillery."
He was charitable to a fault as the history of the Lawrence Asylums for the
children of British soldiers, which he founded, will prove. He was moreover
a writer of considerable literary merit. After his death a provisional order
appeared appointing him Governor General ** on the death, resignation or
comi ng away of Lord Canning." His son was made a baronet in honour of his-
father's services.
Sir Henry was the 4th son of Colonel Alexander Lawrence, who served at
Seringapatam. His eldest surviving brother was Major-General Alexander
William Lawrence of the Madras Cavalry (died 1868) ; and his other brothers,
Lieutenant-General G. St. P. Lawrence, K.C.S.I., C.B., John, Lord Lawrence,
and Major-General E. C. Lawrence, C.B., are all well known names in India. He.
married Honoria, daughter of the Reverend G. Marshall of Carndonagli, Co.^
Donegal (died 1854) and had two sons. Sir Alexander Hutchinson Lawrence, 1st
baronet, who was in the I.C.S. and was accidentally killed in 1864 on the Hin-
dustan-Tibet Eoad, and Sir Henry Waldemar liawrence, 3rd and present baronet..
Of two daughters one died an infant, the other, Honoria Letitia, married

[Mr. Thornhill was Assistant Commissioner before the siege, and did gool
-work all through. On the 12t;h June he took part in the pursuit of a mutinous
Oudh police regiment, and was womided. He was again wounded during the
*iege. He got his death-wound as follows. He had volunteered to go out and
fetch in the wounded after Havelock's arrival, and being well acquainted with
Lucknow his ofier was accepted. On his return he missed his way, and guided
the bearers of the doolies into the square where Neill fell, now called " Doolie
Square." They were met with a murderous fire. As soon as he found out hia
mistake, he rushed out to turn the rear doolies back. He was struck in the arm
and the eye, and died on the 12th October.

to the memory of Captain G. W. W. Fulton, Bengal Engineers,
who was killed in the Residency during the siege of Lucknow on
the 14th September 1857, aged 32 years.
[Captain Fuiton did magnificent work during the defence of the Residency.
It was he who constructed the Redan Battery. He collected a few ex-Cornish
miners from the 32nd and was responsible lor all the counter-mining. He would
■descend into a countermine and wait for the enemy's approach^ revolver in
hand. Somebody once asked a Sergeant, his right-hand man, if he were in the
mine. " Yes Sir," was the reply : '^ there ho has been the last two hours hke a
terrier at a rat-hole, and not Ukely to leave it all day." He says m his own
diary that, on one occasion, " I found the rascals were at work in the road
It seemed a bore to begin to counter, so I just put my head over the wall
•and called out in Hindustani a trifle of abuse when such a scuffle and
bolt took place, I could not leave for laughing. They dropped it for good, that's
the best of the Joke." On another occasion he and a few sepoys captured a
house : " I put two barrels of powder in it and retired, and to my disgust found
•some of the people who had gone with me loitering. The consequence was I
was delayed, and the powder going off half buried me in ruins. A sepoy by my
side was buried up to his waist and I got a very severe contusion " True:
but by no means the whole truth. He found the sepoys had loitered : he had
fired the train and the danger was imminent. He made them mount the ladder
Jirst ; but the explosion took place before the last man could even start. His
escape was marvellous ; and the act he so modestly relates was one of extra-
ordinary generosity. But, as was said of another officer, Fulton deserved to
be covered with Victoria €rosses from head to foot. On the 14th September ha
was struck dead by a round shot. He had won for himself the title his com-
rades gave him — •' The defender of Lucknow," George William Wright Fulton,

of whom commanded the 1st Gurkha Rifles. The Indian branch of the family

This monument is erected over the remains of the late Brigadier^
General Neill by the surviving officers of the regiment, as a mark
of esteem for their late comrades, and in remembrance of their noble^
example and glorious deeds.
[James George Smith Neill (1810-1857) was the son of Col. Neill.. The family
dates back to the middle of the 16th century and belongs to Burnwell, Co. Ayr..
He had six sons, all in the army, and three daughters: his wife was Isabella, daughter
of Col. William Warde, of Squerryes Court, of the 5th B. N. C, and great-grand-
niece of Lord Cornwallis. Educated at Ayr and Glasgow University, he joined
the E. I. C.'s 1st European Regiment (Madras), in lb27. He v/as D.-A.-A.-G. in
1841 and served in the Burmese War ; and as second in command of the Turkish
contingent in the Crimean war, showed that Bashi Bazouks could be turned into
good soldiers. He v/as sent to Calcutta with his regiment in 1857. As Adjutant
and Colonel, he had turned it into a fine fighting machine. He was responsible
for the disarming of the troops at Benares, and went on to Allahabad, where he
restored order. Second-in-command to Havelock, he punished the mutineers at
Cawnpore with great severity. He was left at Cawnpore till Outram nrrived when
he went on with him as Brigadier and was killed by a bullet through the head near
the present Neill's Gateway in the First Relief. At this spot there stands an in-
scription as follows : — " Dulee et decorum est pro patria mori. This tablet marks
the spot where towards the evening of the 28th September 1857, General Neill
fell mortally wounded by a shot fired from the adjacent gateway," His monument
4l Ayv d«30l*ibes him as " a brave, 'resolute, self-reliant soldier, univfiraally
acknowledged as the first who stemmed the torrent of rebellion in Bengal."
Lt. Col. Stephenson (then Major) did good work in Havelock's battles of
Cawnpore and Unao. He '* showed throughout the day (at Unao) how the calm-
est forethought can be united with the utmost daring " He commanded a
ffortie, after the First Rel ef , to capture the Garden Battery, and was killed in
demolishing houses round the Residency a little later.
Major Ranaud left Allahabad on the 30th Juno with a force of 900 men fot
Cawnpore. He marched nearly to Fatehpur, pacifying the country and punish-
ing rebels, and was then overtaken by Havelock's column. He distinguished
himself at the battle of Fatehpur and also at Aung, where he was mortally
wounded. Sydenham George Charles, son of C. Renaud, Merchant, was
born in London in 1810.
Lieutenant Groom did good service at the capture of Phillips* House on the
2iid October 1857. 'It is not clear where he died. William Tate Groom, son of
R. Groom, solicitor to the India Board, was born in 1831 and educated at Rugby,
Lieutenant Arnold distinguished himself with his skirmishers at the crossing
of the Char Bridge in the First Relief ; he was in the massacre at the Doolie
Square, lying wounded in a doolie, and died a few days later (vide no. 883).
Privates Ryan and McManus tried to save him ; both got the V. C. He appears
to be William Delafield Arnold, son of Dr. Arnold, the famous headmaster of
Rugby, and was born in 1828. But if so he was only attached to the 1st M. F.
There was an N. H. Arnold in that regiment, but apparently he was not killed.
W. M. Hargood was son of Capt. W. Hargood, R. N., born at Seaford in 1833.
I could trace none of the other officers.
Lieutenant Dobbs was killed at the storming of the Shah Najaf in th«
Second Relief,
The 1st Madras Fusiliers, now represented by the 1st Battalion, Royal Dublin
Fusiliers, has a long and distinguished history. It existed in detached companies
belonging to the H, E. I. C. as early as 1645, and is therefore of earlier date than
even the premier regiment on the old Company roll — the 1st Bombay Europeans —
raised by Charles II in 1661. It was consoLdated into a battahon by Stronger
Lawrence in 1748. It served under Clive at Arcot and Plassey ; and all through
the Lucknow Mutiny operations up to the cai^lure. It has been successively
known as the "Madras European Regiment" (1799), " 1st Madras European
Regiment," (1839), 1st Madras Fusiliers" (1843), and, on becoming a Queen's
Regiment, 102nd Royal Madras Fusiliers (1862).]

1857.
[Captain Orr was First Assistant Commissioner at Muhamdi in Kheri, a
district corresponding to a part of the modern distr'ct. On the arrival of the
Shahjahartpur fugitives, a body of troops was sent from Sitapur to escort them
to that place : and Orr went with them. On the road, however, occurred the
massacre of Aurangabad (vide no. 976). Orr was. spared by the intervention of
some troops which he had himself raised and escaped to M.tauli, where he had
already sent his wife and child. Here he was joined a few days later by those
who had escaped from Sitapur, Sir M. Jackson (Assistant Commissioner) and
hs sister, Lieutenant Burnes, Sergeant -Major Morten and Sophy Christian, a
child of Mr. Christian, the Commissioner. They were protected by Raja Loni
Singh till the 6th August, though in constant fear of treachery on his part. On
that date he turned them out of his fort, a piece of deliberate treachery, for,
though he would not g.ve up the fugitives, he turned them adrift and told the
sepoys where they were. They remained, however, in the jungles in safety till
the 20th October, when they were arrested by 300 men of the Raja's, under a
scoundrel named Zahur-ul-Husain, whom Captain Orr had actually befriended.
The men were heavily fettered and taken to Lucknow, and imprisoned in the
Ka sarbagh in a miserable room in an out-house. They were shown some kindness
however, by Wajid Ali, a steward of one of the ex-k:ng's wives, and Raja Man
S ngh ; and their fetters were removed. Here they remained until the arrival
of Sxr Colin Campbell with the second Relieving Force. On the 16th November,
the* men were taken away by some of the 71st Regiment and shot. The ladies
were spared : little Sophy Christian died on the l'4th November, but the rest
were rescued by Wajid Ali and handed over to Sir J. Outram on the 20th March.
As regards the rest, their story is as follows. Captain J. B. Hearsey was
saved by some of his men of the Military Pol'ce as well as Sliss Jackson (another
sister of Sir M. Jackson), Mrs. Greene, wife of Lieutenant Greene of the
9t.h Oudh Irregulars, and Sergeant-Major Rogers, his wife and step-son named
Sullivan. They were allowed to go and travelled first to Oel and thence, on
bearing from Mr. Gonne, to Mallanpur. With Mr. Gonne were Messrs.
Carew and Brand of the Rosa Factory in Sbahjahanpur. They started
down the river in boats but news of mutineers at Bairamghat compelled them
to return to Mathiara, a village of the Raja of Dhaurahra. Here they
remained two months, the party consisting of Miss Jackson and Mrs. Greene,
Captains Hearsey and Hast ngs, Messrs. Gonne, Brand and Carew, Sergeant-
Major Rogers and his wife, Mr. Brown, a writer, and Mr. Sullivan. The Rani of
Phaurahra (the Raja was a minor) was as treacherous as the Kaja of Mitauli,
and the band agreed to be taken to I ucknow ; but suspecting treachery on the
road, they fled to Khairlgarh. They were pursued, but night came en and they
managed to escape. Here the party \s as separated ; Mr. Carew and Mrs. Rogers and
her son were on an elephant, and got ahead. We need not follow the adventures
of the rest except to say that all but Captain Hearsey perished. Mr. Brown was
seized by an alligator in swimming a river, Mr. Gonne died of jungle fevei',
Captain Hastings also died of fever, whjle Brand and Rogers also died somewhat
later.
The ladies and Mr. Carew eventually fell into the hands of the Rani of
Dhaurahra and were sent into Lucknow. They were at first well treated and
placed in the Kaisarbagh, but '• after an unsuccessful attack on the Alum Bagh "
(which was either, probably, in Havelock and Gutram's advance or during
238 CflRisfiAN Tombs and Moni^menT^.
•Maointyre's occupation of it— i.e., either in the last week of September oi htst
week of October 1857), they were dragged out and murdered in a nullah near the
Tara Kothi (present Bank of Bengal), with 22 others of whom 17 were Europeans
or Eurasians. Of the " others " not named one was Sullivan, Eoger's step-son :•
another was possibly Mrs. Rogers unless she had already perished, for she was
not named in a memorandum provided by Wajid Ali,. and he also names Mr.
Coldayra, a writer^ as belonging to the party.
The form of this memorial was apparently that suggested by Carpt. Hutchin-
gon ; merely the names with the addition '^victims of 1857." Sir Mountstuart
Q.Qodriche Jackson (1830-1857) 3rd Baronet was educated at Eton and Hailey-
bury and entered the C^ S. in 1856.- He was the eldest son of Sir Keith Jackson,-
2nd Baronet, A.-D.-C. to Mountstuart Elphinstone^ and then to Sir J<)hn Mac-^
donald in Persia. The family is an old Cumberland family. The sister who waa
murdered was Miss Amelia Georgina Jackson ; the one who escaped, Anna-
Madeline, married her cousin Elphinstone Jackson, Judge of the Calcutta High
Court (d. 1873). George James Holmesy son of J. Burnes, Residency Surgeon at
Bhooj in Cutch, was born in 1830 and educated at Edinburgh Academy.]

Born March 19th, 1821, fell in the final assault at Lucknow, March
11th, 1858.
A httle while. II Cor. IV, 12.
[This tomb lies north of the road leading to the College near the College
Hospital. William Stephen Raikes Hodson (1821-1858), son of the Revd. George
Hodson, was educated at Rugby and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took
his B. A. in 1844. In 1845 he joined the army and fought at Mudki, Firozshahr
and Sobraon, In 1847 he became 2nd in command of the Guides and Assistant
to the Resident at Lahore. In the 2nd Sikh war he was engaged with the Guides
in partizan warfare, and was also at Gujrat on Sir H. Gough's staff. He then
became Assistant Commissioner in the Punjab. In 1852 he married Susan,
daughter of Capt. Henry R.N., and widow of John Mitford, of Exbury ; and the
Bame year succeeded Lumsden in command of the Guides and also held civil
charge of Yuzafzai. He built the fort at Mardan and saw much frontier fight-
ing. In 1865 he was reverted to his regiment (the 1st E. B. F.) on account of
certain inaccuracies in the regimental accounts and other grounds. When the
Mutiny broke out General Anson made him head of the Intelligence Department,
and ordered him to raise a regiment of irregular horse. At this time occurred
his famous ride of 152 miles from Karnal to Meerut and back again, wijh des-
patches. He took a prominent share in the Delhi operations, and wound up his
services by the capture of Bahadur Shah, the Emperor, and his three sons, whom
he killed with his own hand. He then took part in minor operations in Rewari,
and the Meerut and Agra divisions, during which occurred his second famous
ride — Mainpuri to Miran Ki Sarai and back to Bewar, 94 miles in all. He was
wounded at Shamsabad and was in all Sir Colin Campbell's operations up to the
reduction of Lucknow. He was mortallj'- wounded in the assault on the Begam's
Kothi, whilst leading some Highlanders to attack a strongly fortified room. He
died on the 12th March.
His life was a continual series of adventures. Men used to wonder why he
never got the V. C; one explanation was that he won it every day of his life.
Controversy rages round certain incidents of his career ; whatever the truth may
be about these matters, it is certain that he was loved and respected by great
men such as Seaton, Campbell, Norman, Lord Napier, Lawrence, Currie and
Montgomery and idolized by soldiers, whether his old guides, who sat about his
house merely " to look at the sahib," or the Highlanders who fetched each other
to " come and see Hodson." He was the perfection of a cavalry soldier, a born
partizan leader, a man who not only could lead the rawest of raw recruits (as
they said themselves) into hell but out again on the other side. When he raised
Hodson's Horse, enough men flocked to his standard to raise three regiments,
though only one was required. Two regiments, the 9th and 10th Lancers, still
exist to keep the memory of Hodson and his Horse green. If some critics must
insist that his name points a moral, none venture to deny that it adorns many
a tale.]

915. — 1800— MARTIN, C, Major- General. Inscription :—-'BorQ Wen
Claude Martin, born at Lyons, the 5tli day of January 1735. Arriv-
ed in India as a common soldier and died at Lucknow, the 13th
September 1800, a Major- General. Pray for his soul.
[Claude Mairtin (1735-180J) was son of a French silk manufacturer of Lyons.
He was intended for the same calling, but preferred a more adventurous profession
and enlisted in the French Army. In 1757 Lally, when appointed Governor of
Pondicherry, applied for volunteers for his bodyguard and Martin offered himself
and was accepted. He arrived in India in 1758. Lally's discipline was extreme-
ly severe and his behaviour tyrannical ; his conduct may have been necessary
for many of his bodyguard were military criminals and deserters ; but it only
made them more insubordinate ; and when Coote laid siege to Pondicherry the
bodyguard deserted to the English en maaae. Martin volunteered to raise a corps
of French chaaaevrs for the Company from among the prisoners of war. The pro-
posal was accepted, and he was made its commander with the rank of Ensjgn.
On one occasion he and his corps were shipwrecked on their way to Bengal ; and
it was with the greatest difficulty that he saved them in the boats. He became
Captain in due course : but his men mutinied in 1764, and the corps v/as broken
up. Martin did his best to keep them faithful : and as a reward he was given an
appointment in the K.-E. districts of Bengal, which, being an able draftsman,
he was sent to survey. Later he obtained a similar position m Oudh. At Luck-
now he spent his leisure in mechanics, and amongst other things manufactured
•« the first balloons that ever floated in the air of Asia." This brought him to the
Nawab's notice, who came to think so highly of him, and especially of his skill
in gunnery, that he obtained permission for Martin's services to be transferred to
him : and on his request being granted made him superintendent of his park of
artillery and arsenal.
Martin soon ingratiated himself with the Nawab, and became his confiden-
tial adviser. He contrived to remain always on the right side and made himself
indispensable in negotiations between the Nawab and the Company. Wisely pre-
ferring the substance of power to its shadow, he remained in the background ;
but he had more real influence on politics than the ministers.
Martin of course drew large pay and enjoyed extensive sources of emolument.
He was the recognized channel for petitions, and made large sums in this way.
He taught the Nawab to appreciate European articles, and then acted as go-be-
tween in obtaining them. He had profitable transactions with the native ban-
kers. Finally his position was so secure that in troublous times it was with him
that valuables were deposited for security on a commission. He acquired con-
sequeatly an immense fortune.
During his life he was hospitable in an unostentatious way : his ch ef
vanity was military rank — a fact to which his epitaph bears witness. He had
retained his commission in the Company's service, though relinquishing h.s pay
and allowances, and he rose in the ordinary course. His Colonelcy he obtaned m
1790 by presenting the Company with sufficient fine hors s to mount a troop :
and when, in 1796, the Company's officers were granted brevet rank by the Kmg,
he was made a Major-General to his infinite delight.
His house, *• Constantia," was a castellated edifice designed for defence if
necessary and constructed on strictly hyg enic principles. It had a series of
rooms adapted to the various temperatures of different seasons. One room was
designed as vault for his tomb. He built this because the Nawab refused to pay
him the price he asked for the house : and in a fit of pique he declared that
his tomb should be handsomer than any palace in Oudh. It was called
*' Constantia,** from the motto " Labor et constantia " carved on its front.
His will, which he drew up himself, was an extraordinary production. It
began by a confession that self-interest had guided him through life. His for-
tune of 33 lakhs of rupees was almost entirely bequeathed to charity. There
were legacies to the poor of Calcutta, Chandranagore, Lucknow and Lyons, the
interest of which was to be doled out daily at certain fixed places marked by
tablets notifying that the alms were the gift of General Martin and were to be
BO distributed in perpetuity. He left a large sum in trust to the Government
of Bengal to establish and endow a school to be called La Martiniere in Calcutta,
whigh still exiats. Other legacies were to his relatives and the town of Lyons,
»nd also two sums, to Lyons and Calcutta, to be devoted to releasing poor debtors
from jail on the anniversary of his death. His house " Conslantia '* was never to
be sold but to serve as a mausoleum for his remains, and as a college for educat-
ing ch.ldren in the English rel gion and language. He also gave elaborate instruc-
tions for h s own bur al and epiiaph. Fanny Parkes mentions that, in IbSl, a
bust of the Geueral adorned the vault and lights were constantly burned before tha
tomb. The figures of four sipah.s large as 1 fe, with the r arms reversed, stood
in niches at the sides of the tomb. Mrs. Harris states that the tomb was
broken to fragments in the Mut.ny and "h:s old bones scattered to the winds" ;
but if so it has sinee been restored. '• Dynasi ies have died out, thrones have
tottered and fallen, kingdoms have crumbled into dust and been forgotten since
this private sold.er sought to perpetuate his name, and it is not an unpleasing
thought that. . . . his testamentary charity still keeps alive the pious memory of
the founder of La Martimere;" a, raemory which generations of Anglo-Indian
parents and children have had cause to bless.]

[Cl. no. yOl. Edwin Fell Haig was born in 1834, and therefore was 23 not
** about " 20 when he ded. He was the 5th son of Kobert Haig of Dundalk,
Many of this famly (Haig of Bemersyde) have served in India from the time of
this officer's uncle, who was a Madras Judge, circa 1810, and married the daughter
of the Magstraie of Pondicberry. A cousin, J. F. Haig, was serving m the
90th Light Infantry all through the Mutiny ; and two brothers were in the
Indian Army. There are representatives of the iam:ly (though in another
branch — the Ha gs of Pen-Ithon) serving in India at the present moment, and
one in this provnce. The family is extremely ancient and traces its ancestry
back to Peter de Haga of Bemersyde, circa 1160. A century later Thomas the
Rhymer prophes'ed ot them : " Tyde what may befyde Hag shall be Hag of
Bemersyde." The 17th la,;rd of Bemersyde disposed of Bemersyde to his broiher
William. William was identified as the author of the '*Suppl;cat ion " in 1133,
fled to Holland and left Bemerbyde to his nephew, David. From him after six
generat.ons the succession reverted to the present owne.-, younger brother of E. F»
Haig, m 1866 ; he as a descendant of the 17ih laird already ment,oned, through

on the ii4th November 1857. He was born on the 5th April 17^)5, at
Bishop Wearmouth, County Durhamy England. Entered 'the

Army 1816, came to India 1823, and served there with little
interruption till his death. He bore an honourable part in the
"wars of Burmah, Afghanistan, the Maharatta Campaign of 1843 and
the Sutlej of 1845-46. Retained by adverse circumstances during
many years in a subordinate position, it was the aim of his life ta
prove that the profe: sion of a Christian is consistent with the fullest
discharge of the duties of a soldier. He commanded a Division in
the Persian Expedition of 1857. In the terrible convulsion of that
year his genius and character wei-e at length fully developed and
known to the world. Saved from shipwreck on the Ceylon coast
by that Providence which designed him for yet greater things, he
was nominated to the command of the column destined to relieve the
brave gaiTison of Lucknow. This object, after almost superhuman
exertions, he, by the blessing of God, accomplished. But he was
not spared to receive on earth the reward so dearly earned. The
Divine Master whom he served saw fit to remove him from the
ephere of his labours in the moment of his greatest triumph. He
departed to his rest in humble but confident expectation of greater
rewards than thote which a grateful country was anxious to bestow.

soldier, the learning of a scholar, the grace of a high bred gentle-
men, and all the social and domestic virtues of a husband, father
and friend, were blended together and strengthened, harmonized
and adorned by the spirit of a true Christian : the result of the in-
fiuence of the Holy Spirit on his heart and a humble reliance on the
merits of a crucified Saviour.
I have fought a gocd light ; T have finished my course ; I have kept the .
faith : henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the
Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me that day, and not to me only, but to all
those that love his appearance.
His ashes in a peaceful urn shall rest,
His name a greaten sample stands to show,
How strangely high endeavours may be blest,
Where piety and valour jointly go.
This monument is erected by his sorrowing widow and family.
[Henry Havelock (1795-1857), son of Wjlliam Havelock of Ingress Park,
Kent, and Jane, daughter of John Carter of Yarm, Yorkshire, was born at Bjsliop
Wearmouth and educated at Swanscombe and the Charterhouse. He was at first
entered at the Middle Temple, but in 1815 joined the 95 ih (Rifle Brigade). He
studied his profession with dil gence both practically and theoretically. In 1823
he exchanged into the 13th Light Infantry and then came out to Ind a. In 1824
he served with credit as D. A. A. G. of the Burma expedition, sind in 1828 published
his "Campa'gns in Ava," whilst Adjutant of the depot of King's troops at Chin-
Bura. The work was scholarly, and showed clear mastery of detail : but his
Bevere strictures m.ade him many enemies. In 1829 he married Hannah
Shepherd daughter of Dr. Marshman, the celebrated Baptist Missionary at Seram-
pur, which community he joined. In 1838 he became a captain, and joined the
Btafi of Sir W. Cotton in the Kabul expedition. He played a not obscure part
both in the storming of Ghazni and the defence of Jalalabad. He wrote a
memoir of the war which attracied no attention, though it deserved a better
fate. In 1841 he returned to Kabul as Persian interpreter on the staff of General
Elphinstone. He was with Sir R. Sale on his march to Jalalabad and was pre-
sent in the siege and at the defeat of Akbar Khan in 1842. He next became '
D. A. A. G. of the Infantry Division. For his services in Afghanistan he was
made C.B.
In 1843 he became Major. He was appointed to Sir H. Gough's stafi and
did conspicuous service at Maharajpur, being made Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel,
In the 1st Sikh War be was at Mudki, Firozshahr and Sobraon. He then became
P.A.Q-. of the Queen's troops in Bombay. In 1849 he took furlough and on his
re1\irn toolj up his old post. In 1854 be became Q. M.-G, of (he Queen's troops
in India, Lieutenant-Colonel and Brevet Colonel. In 1855 be became A.-G.; and in
1856-57 commanded a division in the Persian War. When peace was signed, he
relumed to Bombay and there beard the news of the Mutiny. He Bailed for
Calcutta, but was wrecked off Ceylon^ In Calcutta he was made Brigadier-
General and on the 25th June, set off up country, to commence the m.arvellcus
march which saved Lucknow. He fought action after action : six between the
12th and 29th July : three bet^veen the 4th and 15th August : and finally left
Cawnpore with Outram on the 21st September, fought two actions, and by the
25th had relieved Lucknow, There he stayed till Sir Colin Campbell again relieved
it; and on the 17th November Outram, Havelock and Campbell met on the ground
eloping down to the Mess House. " Havelock, the hero of a hundred fights,"
■says Lord Roberts, " looked ill, worn and depressed, but brightened up a little
when Norman told him he had been made a K, C. B." On the 24tb November
he died and was buried in the Alum Bagh, So ended Havelock's five months of
glorious history.
In character he was s"mple and austere ; a man of the strongeet religious
convictions, yet no bigot; reserved, yet liked by many wild young oftcers who had
little in common with him. A true Christian, who expounded the Bible to his
men in spite of the ridicule of his brother officers, who called his company
** Havelock's Saints" — yet he never forgot his military .nstincts : if he taught his
m«n to be good men he taught them also to be good soldiers, and if " Havelock's
Saints'' were never drunk, they were always ready for service. All his life his
ambition bad been to command a British Army in ^he field : and all his life he
had studied to that end. " He was familiar v/ith every axiom of Vauban and
Jomini : he could describe from memory every evolution of Marlborough and
Wellington, Frederick and- Napoleon," He could apply them too, as he applied
the strategy of " old Frederick at Luethen," in his Laitle of Cawnpore. In the
words of his epitaph : " It was the aim of his life to prove that-ihe profession of
a. Christian is consistent with the fullest discharge of the duties of a soldier."
Years before Lord Hardinge had said of him : " If India is ever in danger
the Government have only to put Havelock m command of an army, and it will
be saved," Yet in 1857 nobody out of India had ever beard of Havelock : even
in India they sneered at him as " an old fossil, dug up and only fit to be turned
into pipe-clay," He left Calcutta on the 25th June little better than a nobody ;
■when be d.ed, on the 24th November, his name was known all over the English-
speaking world, so that the flags were hung at half-mast in New York when he
d.§d.
His son {t^ide no, 921) was given the baronetcy and pension destined for his
father. Of his three brothers two, Lieutenant-Colonel W. Havelock, K. H., killed
at Ramnagar in the Sikh War 1848, and Thomas, died of fever in the Peninsular
War, lost their lives on acti%e service. The third, Lieutenant-Colonel C. F.
Havelock, fought at Bhurtpore, in the first Afghan War and in the first Sikh
War, and commanded the Irregular Osmanli Cavalry. His son, Lieutenant C. W.
Havelock, was killed in the Mutiny {vide no.783). Lieutenant-Colonel W. Have-
lock's son, Sir Arthur E, Havelock, G.C.M.G., G.C.S.I., G.C.LE., was Governor
of Ceylon (1890-5), Madras (1895-1900) and Tasmania (1901-4).]

968.— 1863— OUTRAM, J., Lieut .-General Sir. Inscription:-^
In grateful memory of Lieut.- General Sir James Outram,
Bart,, G.C.B. This tablet is erected in this city of Lucknow
to recall his valour and generosity in the memorable relief and
siege and his far-seeing wisdom which reconciled this province to
British rule; in this Christian Church, because by thoughtful
kindness he gained the title of the Soldier's Friend and because
in simplicity and sincerity he had his conversation in the world.
Born 29th January 1803, died 12th March 1863. His body rests
in Westminster Abbey."
[James Outram, second son of Benjamin Outram of Butterley Hall, Derby-
shire, and his wife Margaret, daughter of Dr. James Anderson of Mounie, Co.
Aberdeen, was educated at the Marischal College, Aberdeen, and entered the
Indian Army in 1819 as an Ensign in the 23rd N. I. A keen sportsman, of whom
it is said that he took 74 *' first spears " out of 123 in a single year, and during a
period of nine years was at the deaths of 191 tigers. From 1825 to 1838 he was
employed in subjugating and civilizing the Bhils, the aboriginal tribes of Khan-
desh. He first attacked them and then enlisted his captives as soldiers ; and for
12 years was turning these savages into peaceful and faithful citizens. He was
Political Agent in Mahi Kanta, when the first Afghan war broke out, and joined
Sir John Keane's stafi, when he took the Bombay Army through Kandahar and
Ghazni to Kabul. He was sent in pursuit of Dost Muhammad across the Hindu
Kush in 1839 and took a prominent part in pacifying southern Afghanistan. He
then became Political Agent in Lower Sind (1839) and in 1841 in Upper Sind.
In 1842 his post was abolished on Sir Charles Napier's investiture with full diplo-
matic and military power in Sind ; and it was on his departure that Sit
Charles Napier, in proposing his health, called him •* the Bayard of India, sani
peur et sans reproche " — an epithet which will always remain linked to hia
name.
In 1843 he returned as Commissioner to carry out a treaty with the Amirs.
The Amirs disliked the treaty as much as Outram did ; the Kesidency at Haidara-
bad was attacked, but Outram defended it resolutely. Shortly after was fought
the battle of Miani which gave us Sind. Outram was bitterly opposed to
annexation, and even distributed his prize-money to charitable institutions on
that ground. He was made a Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel and a C.B.
In 1844 he took leave ; in 1845 he became Resident at Satara and in 1847 at
Baroda, Here he exposed corruption in high places in a report which caused
o&QUQQ aacl the Bombay Qoverniaent remoyed him ; but in 1§$4 Lord DalhoQi8«
LucKNOTT. 2S5
sent Him back to Baroda, thence to Aden and thence to Oudh as Resident. It fell
to his lot to prepare a report on the existing state of the country. Even the de-
fender of the Sind Amirs could not resist the clear evidence of misrule, and he sup-
ported annexation, which was carried out in 1856. In 1856-57 he was in command
in Persia, but was summoned back to India and lost no time in reaching Calcutta
(31st July 1857). He was made Commander of the Dinapore and Cawnpore divi-
sions, and at once went up to take over the command. There was not, as is often
stated, any supersession of Havelock who was merely a Brigadier-General in
command of a field force. On the 15th September he arrived at Cawnpore and
then joined Havelock, and published that famous order whioh proved his title
to the name of *' Bayard." In it he waived his rank, so as not to deprive
Havelock of his commaud, and accompanied him as a military volunteer,
and in his civil capacity as Chief Commissioner of Oudh. This order Sir Colin
Campbell confirmed in terms as honorable to himself as to Outram and Havelock,
It was a material as well as a sentimental sacrifice. Outram, already a G.C.B.,
could get no further reward than a permanent title and a pension ; and this ha
believed he was, if not surrendering, at all events jeopardizing. He was also
surrendering the General's substantial share of prize-money for that of a civilian
volunteer. It was a magnificent act of self-sacrifice which has probably no paral-
lei in history.
From this time till the relief Outram was a volunteer, riding in the charges of
Barrow's volunteer cavalry and "whacking the fugitives " with a " Penang
Lawyer." Even between two such men as Outram and Havelock the position
was bound to have its difficulties : but they were overcome. Outram, after the
relief, resumed his proper position and was in command at Lucknow during the
Second Defence ; and subsequently, after Sir Colin's relief, held the Alam Bagh
with 4,000 men until the final capture in 1858 (a magnificent feat of arms, for
which vide no 935.) He was Military Member of the Supreme Council from
1858 to 1860, when he retired. He was made K.C.S.I., in 1861 and D.C.L., and a
Baronet after the Mutiny (1858). His exploits and his great character have
made him one of the most conspicuous heroes of Indian history. His character
has been described as an embodiment of the old idea of the true and perfect
knight, untainted by the influences which sapped mediaeval chivalry. ''It is im-
possible to conceive of any consideration that could have tempted Outram to
stoop to a dirty action though there have been greater men in
Anglo-Indian history there has never been one more loveable." As for his mili-
tary qualities " a fox is a fool and a lion a coward by the side of Sir J. Outram **
was the saying on the Bombay side in 1857.
Sir J. Outram married (1835) Margaret, daughter of James Anderson, J.P.^
of Brechin and had one son, Sir F. B. Outram, B.C.S.^ Under Secretary to the
Government of the North-Western Provmces, 1858-1860, and wounded in the
Mutiny ; he is the present baronet,]

Campbell and his army to the relief of the garrison.

Lucknow, his physical strength and iron nerve made him fitter for the sword
than the pen. In the defence of Lucknow he did good service as Assistant

this. He ofiered his services to Colonel Napier to go out in disguise, and guido
Sir Colin Campbell in his advance. Colonel Napieif demurred : but Sir J. Out-

ceeded on their way. They lost their way in the Dilkusha Park. They were
put on the right track by two women in a village and later by a picqtiet of
sepoys. They were questioned by them and by another picquet. They waded
through a swamp, and passed unseen between two more picquets. Shortly aftes-
they were challenged by a British cavalry outpost. A Sikh officer in charge
sent two troopers to guide Kavanagh to Sir Colin — '' As I approached the door^
an elderly gentleman with a stern face came out, and going up to him, I asked
for Sir Colin Campbell. * I am Sir Colin Campbell' was the sharp reply * and
who are you?' I pulled ofi my turban and opening the folds took out a short
note of introduction from Sir James Outram.*^' Kavanagh subsequently led
the Army in its advance.
It was a splendid act of gallantry, and of the most invaluable serviee*
Kavanagh received the V.C., being the first non -military man who ever obtained
it (the next being Fraser McDonnell and Ross Mangles of the B.C.S.,), a donation
of Rs. §0,000, and the post of Assistant Commissioner. He rore to be a Deputy
Commissioner. He wrote an account of his deed, entitled " How I won thot

[Major W. T. Johnson is one of the forgotten heroes of the Mutiny. He
was with the detachment under Major Vincent Eyre and took part in the actioiL .
of Kundun Patti, and joined Eyre just before the action, having been 24 hours
in the saddle. In the battle of the Alum Bagh one gun persisted in " bowling;
nine-pounders " down the road, after the rebels had been driven back. Captain
Johnson charged it with 25 troopers and sabred the gunners. He was forced to
abandon it, as he was under fire : but the enemy did not dare to serve it again..
During the night after the relief Johnson and Dr. Greenhow and half a troop of
his cavalry went out in search of the wounded. They found;a number who>
were brought in on the horses led by Johnson's troopers.]

many posts in the Government of this Province, retired there-
from as Judicial Commissioner. Died at Eastbourne, Sussex,
July 8th, 1902, aged 70.
[W. C. Capper was educated at Haileytury, and joined the B.C.S., in 1652

He was there when the Mutiny broke out and remained there till the 8th June
by which time the troops had shown unmistakable signs of mutiny. He rode
into Lucknow and served throughout the defence, in which he was wounded.
After the relief he was made a Special Commissioner in Farrukhabad and
then took leave. On his return in 1859 he served as Deputy Commissioner at
Eae Bareli, Dariabad, Lucknow (1861) and with brief periods of officiating as

Muhamdi, then headquarters of a district corresponding to Kheri, Mr. Thoma-
Bon, a son of Mr. James Thomason, was Deputy Commissioner, and Captain P,
Orr (no. 908), his assistant. Trouble there had been anticipated since May 1857
on the arrival of the Shahjahanpur fugitives : but the troops showed symptoms
of mutiny and it was decided to retire to Sitapur. An eseort was sent thence for
them. This belonged to the 41st, They showed undoubted signs of mu'iiny,
but Mr. Thomason made them swear on Lachman, a jamadar, doubtless a
Brahman, to be faithful. The party left Muhamdi on the 5th for Aurangabad;
but close to that place the massacre began. Lieutenant Sheil, a pensioner, waa
first shot down by a sepoy. They then shot down the whole party. The poor
ladies all joined in prayer, eoolly and undauntedly awaiting their fate. Lysaght
was killed as he knelt down in the open : the wounded and the children were
" butchered in the most cruel way." Captain Orr was spared because of the
intervention of the Muhamdi troops — the 9th Oudh Irregulars— a regiment which
he had raised and commanded.
Of these victims all but Mr. Thomason, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Hurst
belonged to Shahjahanpur. Mr. Smith and Hurst were clerks of Mr. Thoma-

Brigadier the Hon^ble Adrian Hope, C.B., Lieutenant- Colonel,
"^vd. Royal Highlanders. Bom 3rd Marck 1821. Killed at Ruiva,
IStli April 1858.
[Adrian Hope (1821-1858) was the ninth son of General Sir John Hope, the
famous Peninsular veteran, who was created first Lord Niddry, and subsequently
succeeded to the Earldom of Hopeto\xti as fourth Earl, He was of a family that
goes back to Sir James Hope (1641) tte great Scotch mineralogist, and to the Hopes
of Craig Hall (a still older family, cf no. 628). To this family Sir Theodore Cracroft
Hope, K.C.S.I., C.I.E., and many famous soldiers and sailors have belonged, whilst
the first Marquis of Linlithgow, who was Governor General of the Australian Com-
monwealth, was the 7th Earl. Adrian Hope was Colonel of the 93rd Highlanders,
and as Brigadier did excellent service in the Second Relief of Lucknow, at Cawn-
pore and again at the siege of Lucknow. One of the best loved officers in the
army, idolized by his men, he was sacrificed to a blunder. After the siege of
Lucknow, Walpole (much to everybodj^'s surprise— nobody thought Sir Colin
would entrust his favourite Highlanders to him) was given a column to advanca
into Rohilkhand. Ruiya, the jungle fort of Nirpat Singh, was held in force and
it was decided to attack it. The place was Hot reconnoitred and was found to be
much stronger than was expected : and the assailants were driven ba<!k with heavy
loss, including Lieutenants Douglas and Bramley of the 42nd (spelt Brambly on
tihe memorial at Bareilly, no. 406), and Lieutenant Willoughby. Hope was shot
dead from a high tree inside the fort, as it was supposed, by a European renegade
(cf. no. 399). According to Forbes-Mitchell this would be the same man
who murdered Lieutenant Tucker. ** A true soldier, a kind, courteous, noble
gentleman, in word and deed, devoted to his profession, beloved by his men,
^ored by his friends " is W. H. Russell's description of Adrian Hope.]

[For the facts leading to the death of these ojGficer see no. 978. H. Willough-
by is an error : it should be Edward Cotgrave Parr Willoughby. He was the
eon of Major-General M. W. Willoughby, Bombay Artillery, and Louisa Frances,
his wife, daughter of Kobert Anderson, born at Poena in 1834. A brother of his,
Lieutenant- General M. W. Willougby, C.S I., served in Persia and Abyssinia,
and was Military Secretary to the Bombay Government. All these ofiicers, with
their men, were buried in the same grave, in a tope of trees at Rudamau, close to
Madhoganj, and 3 miles from Buiya Fort. There seems a probability, therefore,
that General Hope's tomb is a cenotaph. There are two other graves, which
belong to Wazir Singh, a Christian zamindar of Eudamau, and his wife. Wazir
Singh was Mr. Edwards' orderly and remained with him whilst he was at Kha-
eaura. Cf. no. 960. The name of Lieutenant Bramley is not, as it should be, on

troubles and sufierings were terrible and are fully described in Mr. Edwards'
account. They were moved from Khasaura to Rampura and then back again.
The boy was taken ill at Rampura, and died on arriving at Khasaura, according
to Edwards, on the night of the i26th-27th July. He was buried under some
trees, the only dry spot that could be found. The girl was also taken ill at
Rampura and died on the 21st August, according to Edwards. She was buried
by her brother. The rest escaped at length to Cawnpore.

off again. What followed was the Cawnpore massacre on a smaller scale. Only
three people escaped, Majos Robertson, Mr, Jones and Mr. Churcher, the first
two badly wounded. Major Robertson, assisted by Mr. Churcher, escaped ashore
and the two were sheltered in Kulhaur by some herdsmen. Thence he might have
escaped with Edwards and the Probyns (see above entry) who were in communi-
cation with him : but he was either unable or dissuaded from doing so, and died,
watched over by Mr. Churcher, who might have escaped, to the last. Mr.
Churcher in the end escaped to Cawnpore. A. Robertson was the son of G.
Robertson, of Edinburgh, born in 1820.]

BiHRiicfl. 261
•of robbers on the nigbt of the 6th and died on the 7th May 1837.
Restored by the Raja of Bhinga, June 1837.
[Mr. G. Ravenscoft born in 1777 and educated at Christ Church, Oxford,
came to India in 1797 and served almost entirely in Bengal. He was Collector of
Ciwnpore for 5 years (1813—1816 and 1818 to 1820). He rendered himself
notorious by entering largely into rash speculations and when it became
necessary to fulfil obligations, he did not hesitate to appropriate large sums,
amounting to nearly 2f lakhs out of the Government Treasury for the purpose.
He fled into Oudh when the defalcations were discovered and lived for 9
months near Fyzabad. When discovered, he fled to the Raja of Bhinga, who
concealed his presence. He gave him land to cultivate and a house. "When
Mr. Ravenscroft began to plant indigo, the Raja's eldest son became alarmed
and hired some dacoits to kill him. An Ensign Piatt, from Secrora, was staying
with him at the time. In the night the dacoits, some 60 in number, attacked
the house with spears : they wounded Ravenscroft, who died next day (7th May
1823). Piatt though himself wounded, managed to save Mrs. Ravenscroft and
the child.
There is extant a letter by him written to the Board of Commissioners on the
1st January 1810. (Selections from the Revenue Records of the N. W. P. 1818 —
1820, p. 264.) The date on the tomb is wrong. It should be the night of the 6th-
7th May 1823. It is probably a mere sculptor's error, induced by the following
date.]

tion. He pointed out that in all the public inscriptions which commemorate
the events of the Cawnpore massacre there are only two words too many. Their
keynote ifl extreme simplicity— a mere description ■ of what occurred with no
redundant panegyric and no unnecessary adjectives, a mark of the highest taste :
for as Mr. Crawford said " the facts speak for themselves and supply the adjec-
tives." This acute criticism was characteristio of Mr. Crawford's own high
taste.
