| | No. | 878 |  | Surname | Edwards | | | Christian Names | Roderick Murchison | | | Dates at Haileybury | 1845-47 | | | Presidency | Bengal  | | | Career in India | 1847-83 | | | Annuitant | 1883 | | | Final Appointment 1 | Commissioner of Rohilkhand | | | Mutiny Service | Was Joint Magistrate of Seharunpore under Spankie. This District was disturbed from the first outbreak, and the maintenance of order, the keeping open communications and supplying provisions to the Doon and Mussoorie involved constant work. On June 22 Edwards was sent to take charge of Mozuffernugur, which District was utterly disorganised and full of rebels. He managed to restore order and collect Revenue, but this necessitated constant work, including many contests, notably at Shamli, where three British Officers lost their lives, and at Thana Bhowan. In addition to the troubles within the district it was necessary, from Oct. 1857 to April 1858, to watch and hold forty miles of the Ganges against the Nawab of Najibabad in Rohilcund. |
