- Title:
- Letter from Ellenborough to Canning
- Scope & Content:
- Unexpected change of Government sends him back to the India Board [Lord Palmerston's Government had fallen a few days earlier and had been succeeded by a Conservative administration under Lord Derby, with the Earl of Ellenborough becoming President of the Board of Control for the fourth time]; has been shocked by Sir H Rose's execution of 149 mutineers, and if still in opposition would have demanded an explanation – perhaps Canning has already done so; also distressed by execution of Raja of Bullumgarh with whom he has been corresponding and whose proximity to rebel territory meant that he was not a free agent – hopes Canning will not confiscate his territory until court proceedings against him have been considered; approves Sir Colin Campbell; asks for Canning's opinion on separation of Govt of Bengal from Governor-General.
