TEIGNMOUTH, JOHN SHORE, 1ST BARON (1751-1834)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 508 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEIGNMOUTH, JOHN SHORE, 1ST BARON (1751-1834) ,
governor
 -general of India, was born on the 8th of October 1751, the son of
Thomas
  Shore, a supercargo in the service of the
East
  India Company. He was educated at Harrow, and went out to India as a writer in the Bengal Civil Service in 1769. He became a member of the Supreme Council (1787-89), in which capacity he assisted Lord
Cornwallis
  in introducing many reforms, but did not approve his permanent
settlement
  of Bengal. On the retirement of
Cornwallis
 , he was appointed
governor
 -general (1793-98), adopting a policy of non-interference, but deposed Wazir Ali, for whom he substituted Saadat Ali as nawab of Oudh. His
term
  of office was also signalized by a mutiny of the
officers
  of the Indian army, which he met with concessions. He was created a
baronet
  in 1792, and Baron Teignmouth in the peerage of Ireland in 1798. On his retirement from India he was appointed member of the board of
control
  (1807-28), and was for many years president of the British and Foreign Bible Society. He died on the ,4th of February 1834.
See Memoirs of Lord Teignmouth, by his son (1843).
