Excerpt from A Servant of John Company: Being the Recollections of an Indian OfficialCuriously enough, the last post which fell to my lot was none other than the identical J udgeship Of Saharanpore which had been held by the very gentleman whose informa tion had decided my father's wavering disposition.
