Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MAYO, RICHARD SOUTHWELL BOURKE, 6TH EARL OF (1822-1872) , British statesman, son of Robert Bourke, the 5th
earl
  (1797-1867), was born in Dublin on the 21st of February, 1822, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. After travelling in Russia he entered
parliament
 , and sat successively for Kildare, Coleraine and
Cockermouth
 . He was
chief
  secretary for Ireland in three administrations, in 1852, 1858 and 1866, and was appointed viceroy of India in January 1869. He consolidated the frontiers of India and met Shere Ali, amir of Afghanis-tan, in
durbar
  at
Umballa
  in March 1869. His reorganization of the finances of the country put India on a paying basis; and he did much to promote irrigation, railways, forests and otheruseful public works. Visiting the convict
settlement
  at Port Blair in the Andaman Islands, for the purpose of inspection, the viceroy was assassinated by a convict on the 8th of February 1872. His successor was his son, Dermot Robert
Wyndham
  Bourke (b. 1851) who became 7th
earl
  of Mayo.
See Sir W. W. Hunter, Life of the Earl of Mayo, (1876), and The Earl of Mayo in the Rulers of India
Series
  (1891).
