  • Canning's East India Policy, 1816–22

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    Immediately the news of Buckinghamshire’s death became known, William Huskisson wrote to Liverpool urging that his friend, Canning, should be given the first refusal of the Board of Control. He at once agreed and the stage was set for the resumption of a cordial co-operation between the home authorities in the conduct of India business. Before Canning had time to become fully conversant with current Indian affairs, he was called on to take an imp…

  • The Ascendancy of Dundas, 1788–94

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    In the six years following the passing of the Declaratory Act, a good understanding developed between the Board and the Court, and the machinery of home government began to work smoothly. The Directors’ failure to bring about the defeat of the Declaratory Bill had taken the fight out of them, and the majority hastened to make their peace with Dundas. The Indian interest, which had broken up on John Sulivan’s death, was divided at this time into t…

  • The Opposition of the Indian Interest, 1784–88

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    Between 1757 and 1784, the development of the East India Company from a predominantly commercial into a predominantly territorial power undermined the stability of its home government. The almost complete failure of Lord North’s Regulating Act of 1773, and the Reports of the Select and Secret Committees of 1781, necessitated the reconsideration and adoption by Parliament of a new system for both the home and Indian governments of the Company. The…

  • The Triumph of the Shipping Interest, 1802–06

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    Viscount Castlereagh applied to Dundas for a list of works on the Government of India generally, and on recent India policy in particular, and spent his first few weeks at the Board in studying this information. He later failed to procure the election of James Strange, Dundas’s son-in-law, and to prevent the elections of John Bebb, James Pattison and George Millet, all three of whom strongly supported the Shipping interest. Castlereagh visualised…

  • The Revolt of the Shipping Interest, 1794–1802

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    In the period 1793-1801, Dundas was too preoccupied with the war against France to maintain a close scrutiny and control of the Directors’ activities; coincidently, a group of Directors, representing the long-established monopoly of the Shipping interest, began sporadically to attack Dundas’s management of Indian affairs. The members of the Shipping interest resented Dundas’s ascendancy at the India House, so much the more because they suspected …

  • The Company's Surkender, 1830–34

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    Charles Grant, the new President of the Board, was the eldest son of the former Director of the same name. In 1813, when yet a young member of Parliament, he rapidly made a reputation by valiantly fighting shoulder to shoulder with his father in defence of the Company&s;s Charter. In his early months at the Board, Grant showed a disposition to modify the active external policy that Ellenborough had adopted. He issued orders through the Secret Com…

  • The Failure of the Private Trade Interest, 1822–30

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    The Court of Directors in the period 1823–34, lost much of its past and justly-earned reputation for knowledge, experience and industry in Indian affairs. This development coincided with, and was partly due to, the growing influence of the Private Trade interest in the India House, mainly at the expense of the Indian interest. The Agency Houses not only formed the bulwark of the Private Trade interest, but also acted as a connecting link between …

  • Buckinghamshire Versus the India House, 1812–16

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    The opening of the trade with India complicated the position at the India House by creating a new East India interest in the Proprietors&s; Court, namely, the Private Trade interest. The Government knew that the possibility of losing the support of the majority of the East India members in Parliament was remote ; a state of affairs which encouraged Buckinghamshire to take up an even more aggressive attitude towards the India House. However, Bucki…

  • Concluding Remarks

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    In the period 1784–1834, comparatively little interest in India was taken in England. From 1807, not even the usual tepid, thinly attended annual debate on the East India budget took place. Nevertheless, the presence of East India members in the Commons had important repercussions on the home government’s Indian policy. A study of the representation of the East India interests in Parliament between 1784 and 1834, reveals the important fact that t…

  • The India House Divided Against Itself, 1806–12

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    The dominant figure at the India House was Charles Grant. Viscount Castlereagh abolished the Bengal, Madras and Bombay divisions and replaced them by five departments, Secret and Political, Eevenue and Judicial, Military, Public and Commercial, Financial, roughly corresponding to the branches of the governments in India, and to the departments at the India House. Meanwhile it was becoming increasingly evident to Dundas that the India House, wheth…

  • The East India House, 1784–1834

    C H PhilipsCHAPTEREast India Company V62022

    The East India House, the home of “the Grandest Society of Merchants in the Universe”, was situated on the south side of the busy thoroughfare of Leadenhall Street in the City of London. Down to 1784 the home government of the East India Company had consisted of the Proprietors of India Stock and the twenty-four Directors. Any person who bought shares in the capital stock of the East India Company was denominated a Proprietor, and was permitted t…
